The cells were washed with phosphate‐buffered saline without calcium chloride and magnesium chloride (PBS−), and the culture medium was replaced with advanced DMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for DU145 and MG63 cells, advanced RPMI 1640 medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 22Rv1 cells, and advanced DMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific)/advanced DMEM/F12 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) (3 : 2) for C4‐2 and C4‐2B cells. Each advanced medium contained 1% AA and 2 mm l‐glutamine. EVs from the CM of cells were isolated by a differential ultracentrifugation protocol, as we previously reported [16 (link)]. Briefly, the CM was centrifuged at 2000 g for 10 min to remove contaminating cells. The resulting supernatants were then transferred to fresh tubes and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). The filtered CM was centrifuged for 70 min at 110 000 g to pellet the enriched EVs (Beckman Coulter, Rea, CA, USA). The pellets were washed with 11 mL of PBS and ultracentrifuged at 110 000 g for another 70 min. The EV pellets were stored in the refrigerator at 4 °C until use. The fraction containing the EVs was measured for its protein content using the Quant‐iTTM Protein Assay with Qubit2.0 Fluorometer (Invitrogen).

Isolation and Culture of Astrocytes from APOE Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary astrocytes were isolated from postnatal day 0–4 pups of mice homozygous for E3 or Ε4. The brain was surgically excised and meninges were removed from cortical tissue in cold DMEM. Tissue from pups of the same genotype was pooled and coarsely chopped to encourage suspension. Tissue homogenates were incubated in serum free DMEM with 0.25% trypsin and DNAse for 30 min with gentle shaking. Cell suspension was then filtered through 40 μm strainer and spun for 5 min at 1100 x g. Suspended primary cells were then plated in a poly-lysine coated plate and allowed to grow to confluence in Advanced DMEM (Gibco) with 10% FBS. Immortalized astrocytes were derived from targeted replacement mice expressing human APOE alleles (kind gift from Dr. David Holtzman). These immortalized cell lines secrete human ApoE in HDL-like particles at equivalent levels to primary astrocytes from targeted replacement APOE knock-in mice and have been relied upon for studies of APOE’s role in astrocyte metabolism by several groups [39 (link)–41 (link)]. Cells were maintained in Advanced DMEM (Gibco) supplemented with 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 1X Geneticin, and 10% fetal bovine serum unless otherwise noted.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the measurement of calcium fluxes, preactivated AND T cells were loaded with the calcium sensitive dye fura-2 AM (Life Technologies). AND T cells were pelleted at 700 rpm, washed once with 10 mL of serum-free Advanced DMEM (Life Technologies), and resuspended in 1 mL of room temperature serum-free Advanced DMEM containing 2 μM Fura-2. Cells were then incubated at room temperature for 25 min in the dark. After this, 5 mL of pre-warmed ADMEM containing 2.5% serum was added to the cells, and the cells were incubated for an additional 1 h. at 37 °C. The cells were then pelleted at 700 rpm and used directly for imaging. The cells were imaged with a 40X, 1.35 NA objective and the fluorescence emission recorded for 340 and 380 nm excitation. IRM and ICAM-1 images were also collected so that cells adhering to the bilayer could be identified. As a control to determine the maximum calcium flux, the cells were subjected at the end of the experiment to treatment with 2 μg/mL ionomycin in HBS/BSA containing 2 mM MgCl2 and 20 mM CaCl2. Finally, as a control to measure the baseline Fura-2 fluorescence emission, the cells were subjected to treatment with 2 mM EGTA in calcium-free HBS/BSA containing 3 mM MgCl2.

Commercially available wood extracts rich in HT were obtained from Tanin d.d. Sevnica (Sevnica, Slovenia). Tanex and Farmatan originate from sweet chestnut wood (Castanea sativa Mill.), and Contan from oak (Quercus patraea). Gallic acid (Sigma, Steinheim, Germany) was used as a reference compound. All wood extracts and Gallic acid were in powder form before use. The chemical compositions of the wood extracts are summarized in Table 1. Suitable quantities of wood extracts and Gallic acid were resuspended in Advanced DMEM supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Life Technologies, Bleiswijk, The Netherlands), vigorously vortexed for 30 min at room temperature to dissolve the powder, and centrifuged at 10,000× g for 10 min. After centrifugation, supernatants were collected and further diluted to the desired concentrations in Advanced DMEM supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine (Life Technologies, Bleiswijk, The Netherlands).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To enable imaging of single translating vRNAs in intestinal organoid cells, organoid cells were cultured in 2D. 96-well glass-bottom plates (Matriplates, Brooks Life Science Systems) were coated for 30 minutes at 37°C with 100 μL coating mix (5% Basement Membrane Extract (Type 2, Cultrex reduced growth factor, R&D systems) dissolved in Advanced DMEM (Thermofisher Scientific)). The coating mix was removed and the wells were dried for 15 minutes at 37°C. Organoids grown in 3D were dissociated into single cells by incubating the organoids for 5 minutes with TrypLE (TryplE Express; Life Technologies). Approximately 5000 cells were plated per well in expansion medium (see Sato et al., 2011 (link)). Virus incubation was performed as described in the section ‘Cell culture for imaging’. Expansion medium was replaced with imaging medium (pre-warmed CO2-independent Leibovitz’s-15 medium (GIBCO) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (GIBCO)) 15-30 minutes before the start of live-cell imaging.
