Primary mouse keratinocytes isolated from newborn Balb/C pups were cultured in modified Eagle’s medium (S-MEM, Thermo Fisher Scientific), 8% Chelex-treated fetal calf serum (Gemini Bio Products), and 0.05 mmol/L calcium unless otherwise indicated.11 (link) ROCK inhibitors Y-27632, SR 3677, GSK-429286A, and TC-S 7001 were purchased from Tocris Bioscience. Y-27632 was reconstituted in DI water, while SR 3677, GSK-429286A, and TC-S 7001 were reconstituted in DMSO. Each of these inhibitors were further diluted in cell culture media to reach working concentrations. Live cell images were taken and confluence scores were calculated using the IncuCyte S3 Live-Cell Analysis System (Sartorius). Total cell counts were determined by trypsinizing attached keratinocytes and using the Cellometer Auto 2000 cell counter (Nexcelom Bioscience) after Trypan blue (Thermo Fisher) staining.

Multimodal Cell Migration Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For 2D migration, we employed a wound closure assay using Ibidi wound closure inserts. Cells were seeded at 7 × 105 per mL and allowed to adhere overnight e.g., ~16 h. Following insert removal, cells were supplemented with various treatments, and wound closure was imaged. For 3D invasion, cells were seeded at 3 × 104 in Corning ultra-low attachment spheroid round bottom 96-well plates and allowed to form spheroids for 3 days. Following spheroid formation, cells were embedded in an invasion matrix (Trevigen, CT, USA) and invasion was monitored over 6 days. For donut migration, technical details can be found here (22 (link)). For transwell migration assays, cells were seeded at 1 × 105 in the apical chamber of Corning BioCoat Matrigel Invasion Chambers (Corning #354480, USA) and allowed to invade for 24 h. Invaded cells were counted manually. All images were acquired on the BioTek Cytation 5 imaging station, in tandem with the BioTek BioSpa automated incubator and robotics system (BioTek, VT, USA). For each of the cell treatments, C.M. was supplemented at a final 1X concentration; 20 ng/mL VEGF, CCL-18, or IL-4; 1 μM Y-27632 or GSK429286A (Tocris, R&D, USA).

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.
