For obtaining Mef cells, the 8-wk-old CD-1 pregnant mice with E13.5 fetuses from Charles River Laboratories were used in this study. Animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Peking University (approval No. Urban-HuJY-1). The mice were anesthetized by 100mg/kg sodium pentobarbital via intramuscular injection and euthanized via cervical dislocation. The embryos were carefully stripped, and the bodies were fully cut into pieces, and the pieces were mixed with 5mL0.05% Trypsin-EDTA (T4090; Sigma). After digestion for 5 min at 37°C and standing for 1 min, the supernatant was removed, and 2mL FBS (10091148; Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added to the supernatant. The digestion was repeated twice. After mixing the supernatants and filtration by 40μm cell strainer (251100; Abcam), the obtained cells were placed on 10cm2 cell culture dishes at the density of 1×107/cm2 and cultured with DMEM (C11965500BT; Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 10% FBS (10091148; Thermo Fisher Scientific). When the cells reached 80% , 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA was used for digestion and expanded culture. Cells were then incubated in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C and were passaged at a split ratio of 1:3 to 1:5 using 0.05% Trypsin-EDTA (T4090; Sigma).

The N2a cell line was a gift from Dr. Yichang Jia (Tsinghua University), and was maintained in normal DMEM (C11965500BT, Thermo Fisher) containing 15% fetal bovine serum (AB-FBS-0500s, ABW) and 100 U/ml penicillin-streptomycin (15140148, Thermo Fisher). The N2a cells were seeded in 48-well plate in ~70% confluence at 24 hr before the transfection. The plasmids were transfected with Lipofectamine 2000 (11668019, Thermo Fisher) following manufacturer's instructions. Normally, N1-EGFP was co-transfected to guarantee successful transfection.
Cochlear culture and injectoporation were as previously described 21 (link) . In this study, the organ of Corti was dissected out from mouse pups and was attached on the inner side of a 35-mm culture dish lid cultured with 2ml DMEM/F12 medium (21041-025, Thermo Fisher) with ampicillin (1.5 µg/ml, GG101, TransGen Biotech) addition. For electroporation, plasmids (1 µg/µl in 1x HBSS) were injected into gaps between hair cells via a glass electrode with an open tip of 2 µm diameter. A series of 3 electrical pulses (80-V amplitude, 20-ms duration, 1-s interval) were immediately applied by an electroporator (BTX ECM830, Harvard Apparatus). After electroporation, the tissues were cultured in a humid incubator (37°C, 5% CO2).

Cardiomyocyte Hypertrophy Induction Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse hearts were subjected to cardiomyocyte isolation based on a protocol described previously [19 (link), 20 (link)]. The mouse cardiomyocytes were cultured in DMEM (Gibco, #C11965500BT) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, #A3840001). BrdU (Sigma, #B5002) was used to repress fibroblast proliferation. Before hypertrophy induction, the cardiomyocytes were cultured in FBS-free DMEM for 24 h. Cardiomyocyte hypertrophy was induced by treatment with Angiotensin II (Ang II; MCE, #HY-13948) for 48 h in FBS-free DMEM. For KLK11 overexpression or knockdown, cardiomyocytes were infected with adenovirus or transfected with siRNA 24 h before serum starvation and Ang II treatment. Cardiomyocytes were stained with an anti-a-actinin antibody (Sigma, #A7188) for size analysis, and cell size was measured with Image J software. Fifty cardiomyocytes of each group were analyzed, and the mean cardiomyocyte size of independent experiments was used to further statistical analysis. For mTOR inhibition, 100 nM rapamycin (MCE, #HY-10219) was used.

The HEK293T cells were obtained from the ATCC and cultured in DMEM (Gibco, C11965500BT) with 10% FBS (Gibco, 10270106) and 1% P/S (Gibco, 15070063) with 5% CO2 at 37°C.
For perturbation of PAS usage, HEK293T cells were seeded in 24-well plate and transfected at 70% cell confluence. For transfection, 3 μl PEI (1 μg/μl, Polysciences) was applied with 1 μg total plasmid (0.5 μg dCas13 and 0.5 μg individual gRNA). Forty-eight hours after transfection, cells were harvest for the following assays.

The partial wild-type 3′ UTR of Sgk3 (NM_001376043.1) was amplified using PCR and subsequently mutated using site-directed mutagenesis. After being sequenced, the correct recombinant vector was double-digested with restriction enzymes Mlu I and Hind III to release the sequence of interest, which was inserted into the empty luciferase reporting vector (pMIR-REPORTTM Luciferase, 6470bp, Ambion Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). HEK-293T cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (C11965500BT, Gibco) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (10270-106, Gibco) for 24 h. Then, 0.2 µg Sgk3 WT or MUT recombinant plasmid (Firefly luciferase vector) and 0.01 µg pRL-CMV (Ranilla luciferase vector) were co-transfected with 25 μL of either miR-155-5p mimics or nontargeting control mimics (100 nM) using liposome (Lipofectamine® 2000, Invitrogen Life Technologies). Forty-eight hours later, Firefly and Renilla luciferase activities were quantified using the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System (E1960, Promega, Madison, WI, USA) and normalized to the control group.

The C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line (ATCC®, CRL-1772™) was cultured in a growth medium (GM) of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, C11965500BT, Gibco, USA) with 10% fetal bovine serum (10099-141, Gibco, USA) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (C0222, Beyotime, China) at 37 °C with 5% CO2. When cell confluence reached 80–90%, the GM was replaced with a differentiation medium (DM) of DMEM containing 2% horse serum (SH30074.02, Hyclone, USA) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin. Cells were fed with fresh DM every other day, and cultures were maintained for 5 d. In some experiments, cells were continuously incubated for 5 d in the DM with sodium lactate (0, 10, or 20 mM) purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. The concentration of lactate was set at 0–20 mM based on previous studies using skeletal muscle cells, and this range corresponds to the physiological range of blood lactate level in humans after an exercise [17 (link)]. Pyruvate or lactate was assessed using a lactic-acid assay kit or pyruvate assay kit (A019-2-1, A081-1-1, Nanjing Jiancheng Bio, China).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
