Cells were plated in a 6-well plate at a density of 50,000 cells/well in DMEM/F-12 media supplemented with 10% FBS. 6 technical replicates were plated. 24 hrs after plating, media was changed to DMEM/F-12 (USBiological) containing 1.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate, 10 mM HEPES, 10% dialyzed FBS, 10 mM glucose, and 4.5 mM glutamine. Cells were incubated for another 24 hrs. Then, media was collected from each well. Next, 20 µL of each media sample was added to 180 µL of a 2:2:1 methanol:acetonitrile:water (−20°C) mixture. Then, samples were vortexed for 1 min and placed at −20°C for 1 hr. Next, samples were centrifuged at 16,000 g at 4°C for 10 min and supernatant was transferred to LC glass vials. Samples were stored at −80°C until LC/MS analysis (see below).

Experimental design and data analysis and interpretation were consistent with previous publications60 (link),61 (link). Cells were plated in 150 mm dishes at a density of 300,000 cells/dish in DMEM/F-12 media supplemented with 10% FBS. 24 hours after plating, media was changed to DMEM/F-12 (USBiological) containing 1.2 g/L sodium bicarbonate, 10 mM HEPES, 10% dialyzed FBS, 10 mM glucose, and 4.5 mM [13C515N2]glutamine. Cells were incubated for 48 hrs. Then, cells were trypsinized and centrifuged at 200 g at 4°C for 5 min. Media was aspirated and the cell pellet was washed with ice cold 1X PBS. Washing was repeated two times and the cell pellet was stored at −80°C. Before NMR analysis the cell pellet was dried in a lyophilizer at −20°C. The total weight of the male and female dried cell pellet submitted for solid-state NMR analysis was 20 mg each and was accumulated over three sample preparations.

Tryptophan Depletion Induces Chlamydia Knockdown

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells were infected at a multiplicity of infection (moi) of 0.5 (t=0 hour post-infection (hpi)), and were maintained in complete DMEM for 14 h. The infected cells were then exposed to anhydrous tetracycline (aTc) at 5 nM for 4 h to induce knockdown of expression (t=14 hpi). Tryptophan depletion was performed at t=18 hpi by first washing cells with HBSS and then replacing complete DMEM with tryptophan-depleted DMEM-F12 (U.S. Biological Life Sciences). Treated cells were then returned to the tissue culture incubator for the remainder of the experimental time course. At t=22 hpi, samples were collected and fixed with freshly prepared 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized for 10 min with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS. Samples were immunostained with mouse antibody against the C. trachomatis major outer membrane protein (1:1000 dilution). Samples were incubated at 4C overnight with constant rocking. The next day, the primary antibody solution was removed and samples rinsed 3x with 1x PBS, and incubated with 1:1000 dilution of goat anti-mouse IgG conjugated with Alexa-488 for 1 h. Samples were rinsed and visualized by fluorescence microscopy. Images were processed and inclusion size measured using NIH ImageJ.

Mouse hepatocyte AML12 cells were purchased from the Duke University Cell Culture Facility. AML12 cells were maintained in complete growth medium (CGM) which consisted of DMEM/F12 (US Biological) supplemented with 10% non-heat activated fetal bovine serum (FBS, GE Life Sciences Hyclone), penicillin and streptomycin (100 U/ml and 100 μg/ml, respectively, Gibco), 10 μg/ml insulin, 5 μg/ml transferrin, 7 ng/ml selenium (1:100 dilution of ITS, Millipore), and 100 nM dexamethasone (Sigma). Cells were grown in a humidified tissue culture incubator (Symphony, VWR) at 37 °C with 5% CO2. For experiments, cells were harvested using trypsin (0.25%) –ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and seeded into 96-well plates (5×104 cells/well) in 200 μl of CGM and allowed to settle and grow for approximately 18 h at 37 °C with 5% CO2.

HCN cells were obtained from the hippocampus of 8-week-old Sprague Dawley rats and maintained in coated culture dishes with poly-L-ornithine and laminin, as previously described [26 (link)]. HCN cells were cultured in a chemically defined serum-free media containing Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM)/F-12 (12400–024, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), supplemented with individually prepared N2 components and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (20 ng/mL; 100-18B-500, Peprotech, Cranbury, NJ, USA). Insulin withdrawal media were prepared by omitting insulin. To make glucose-low media, Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM)/F-12 (D9807-02, USBiological, Salem, MA, USA) was supplemented with N2 components and bFGF. Then, D-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added to a final concentration of 5 mM.

Quantifying PDO Proliferation in Serine-Glycine Depletion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PDOs were seeded on 4-well cell culture chamber slides (Corning, 354114) at equal numbers. PDO media was replaced with vehicle or serine and glycine-free media the next day and incubated for 10 days. Serine and glycine-free Advanced DMEM/F12 was generated using amino acid, glucose, and pyruvate free DMEM/F12 (US Biological, D9807-11) supplemented with ethanolamine, glutathione, ascorbic acid, transferrin, and AlbuMAX II to the levels found in commercial Advanced DMEM/F12. PDO cultures were treated with 10 μM 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU) for 4h and fixed for 40 minutes with 4% PFA. The fixed PDOs were permeabilized with 0.5% Tx-100 for 20 minutes and labeled using the Click-iT EdU Alexa Fluor 488 imaging kit (ThermoFisher, C10337) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Labeled PDOs were imaged with a Zeiss LSM880 confocal microscope. The ratio of EdU+ cells was quantified in 16 to 25 organoids/group by counting the number of EdU+ cells per total number of cells. Statistical analysis was performed with Prism GraphPad. Student’s t-test was used to calculate p values.

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.
