Spontaneous differentiation of human oligodendrocyte/neuron progenitors in 24-well and 96-well plates. Coat plate with 10 μg/ml poly-L-ornithine (Sigma Cat. No. P4957) overnight at room temperature. Remove the poly-L-ornithine solution and rinse the plate with 1×PBS, add 10 μg/ml laminin (Millipore Cat. No. CC095) and incubate at 37° C. for at least 2 hours. Seed cells on the coated plates in expansion media and allowed to attach overnight. The next day expansion media was removed and replaced with freshly prepared spontaneous differentiation media only containing OPC/neuron basal media and N21 media supplement. For 14 day culture, differentiation media was replaced every 3-4 days. Cells were imaged and neurite length was analyzed by IncuCyte S3 Live Cell Analysis System every 4 hours. After 14 days of differentiation, cells were fixed by 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with DAPI and Neuron-specific ß-III tubulin antibody (R&D systems, NL1195R).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NSCs were isolated from E12.5 mouse embryonic cortex, in accordance with a previously described procedure [28 (link), 29 (link)]. The primary NSCs were seeded onto poly-l-ornithine (Sigma-Aldrich)- and laminin (Invitrogen)-coated dishes, cultured as monocultures. Neural basal medium with EGF (20 ng/ml; PeproTech), bFGF (20 ng/ml; PeproTech), heparin (20 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich), and 2% B27 (Invitrogen) was used as NSC proliferation medium. For differentiation, NSCs were seeded on poly-l-ornithine (Sigma-Aldrich)- and laminin (Invitrogen)-coated dishes. Upon NSC attachment, the medium was changed to differentiation medium identical to the NSC proliferation medium without growth factors (EGF and bFGF). After differentiation for 10 days, neural- and glial-specific markers were used to determine the differentiation potential of cultured NSCs.

Cryopreserved astrocytes from Control and Krabbe donors were seeded onto poly-L-ornithine (10 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) and laminin (10 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) 96 well CellCarrier Ultra high content imaging plates (PerkinElmer) in complete astrocyte differentiation medium at 10,000 cells/well. Following 3 weeks of culture, with 50% astrocyte medium replaced twice per week, medium was fully replaced with complete NDM-2 and conditioned for 96 hours. At this time, cryopreserved neurons from the Control 2 donor were seeded at 10,000 cells/well onto a poly-L-ornithine (10 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) and laminin (10 μg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) 384-well CellCarrier Ultra high content imaging plate (PerkinElmer) in NDM-2. Following 96-hours of culture, astrocyte conditioned medium was collected and medium from the neurons was aspirated and replaced with the astrocyte conditioned medium. After 96-hours of exposure to astrocyte conditioned medium, neuron viability was quantified by incubating with Calcein Green AM, NucRed Dead, and Hoechst fluorescent probes in PBS +magnesium +calcium for 10 minutes at 37C and imaging on a PerkinElmer Opera Phenix microscope. Cells were imaged with a 20X objective and viability was calculated as the percentage of Calcein Green AM positive, NucRed Dead negative nuclei over the total nuclei (identified with Hoechst) using associated Perkin Elmer Harmony software.

ESCs were cultured in N2B27 basal medium containing 3 μM CHIR99021 (Wako), 0.4 μM PD0325901 (Wako), and LIF in a dish coated with 0.01% poly-L-ornithine (Millipore) and 10 ng/mL laminin (BD Biosciences). Induction of EpiLCs was performed as described previously (Hayashi et al., 2011 (link)). EpiLCs were induced from ESCs in N2B27 basal medium containing 20 ng/mL activin A (Peprotech), 12 ng/mL bFGF (Invitrogen), and 0.1–1% KSR for 2 days on a dish coated with 16.7 μg/mL human plasma fibronectin (Millipore). Two days after EpiLC induction, the cells were collected and replated (0.5–1.0 × 105) with or without doxycycline in GK15 medium on a dish coated with 16.7 μg/mL human plasma fibronectin. For the colony formation assay for AP-positive cells, ESCs, EpiLCs, and EpiLCs induced with or without PRDM14 were dissociated by TrypLE Select (Invitrogen). Cells (1.0 × 104) were cultured under standard ESC culture conditions. After culture for 3 days, the cells were stained for AP activity. The aggregate culture of EpiLCs was performed as previously reported (Nakaki et al., 2013 (link)). In brief, after 36 hr of EpiLC induction the cells were collected, and 2,000 cells per well were transferred to a low-cell binding 96-well plate (NUNC). The cells were grown for 2 days in GK15 medium with or without 1.5 μg/mL doxycycline.

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.
