Cd146 microbeads

Manufactured by Miltenyi Biotec
Sourced in Germany

CD146 microbeads are a laboratory reagent used for the isolation and enrichment of CD146-positive cells from complex biological samples. CD146, also known as melanoma cell adhesion molecule (MCAM), is a cell surface marker expressed on various cell types, including endothelial cells, pericytes, and some stem cells. The CD146 microbeads allow for the specific capture and separation of CD146-positive cells, which can be useful for various research and diagnostic applications.

For culture, cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from 6 to 8 week-old Gata4flox/flox, Gata6flox/flox, and Gata4flox/floxGata6flox/flox mice as previously described [34 (link)]. Whole hearts without atria were quickly cut into small pieces in ice-cold PBS. Digestion was performed using Liberase TH (Roche) with SADO buffer mix solution (20 mM HEPES–NaOH (Roth, Nr. 9105, pH 7.6), 130 mM NaCl (Roth, Nr. 9265), 3 mM KCl (Roth, Nr. 6781), 1 mM NaH2PO4 (Sigma, Nr. S5011), 4 mM Glucose (Roth, Nr. HN06), 3 mM MgSO4 (Roth, Nr. 2278) in sterile, filtered dH20). The digested cell solution was plated and after 3 h washed once with PBS and changed to DMEM supplemented with 10% FCS. Isolated fibroblasts were infected with AdCre or Adβ-Gal for 3 h and after two washing steps with PBS cultured in DMEM supplemented with 2% FCS for 48 h. Cells were passaged two times at maximum before harvesting.
For immediate RNA or protein-isolation, cardiac fibroblasts and cardiac endothelial cells were isolated from hearts of adult mice using CD146 microbeads and feeder removal microbeads with MACS (magnetic cell separation) technology from Miltenyi Biotec.
Adult ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated as previously described using a Langendorff system [24 (link)].

Isolation of Primary Liver Cells

Liver tissues were preserved in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, Karlsruhe, Germany) on ice immediately after surgical removal, and cells were isolated within 6 h. Nycodenz (Axis Shield, Rodelokka, Norway) gradients density centrifugation was performed to isolate primary liver KCs and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). In brief, liver samples were cut into 1-5 mm thick slices and rinsed by phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The tissue slices were digested with 15 mg/mL pronase (Sigma, St. Louis, USA) at 37 °C for 20 min. After two times of 80 μm and 60 μm nylon mesh filtration, the tissue solution was mixed with Nycodenz solution (16.7% for KCs and 28.7% for HSCs) and centrifuged (1400× g, 20 min) without the brake, dividing into three layers. We collected the middle layer and interfaces. To isolate sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs), CD146 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Teterow, Germany) and a magnetically activated cell sorting system were employed to filtrate the tissue digestive solution instead of Nycodenz. Cells were seeded in multiple well plates and cultured at 37 °C in 5% CO2 in RPMI 1640 with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS, PAN, Aidenbach, Germany) and 1% Penicillin-Streptomycin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Detailed procedures were described previously [20 (link),21 (link),22 (link)].

Endometrial stem cells were isolated by previously described magnetic beading method [9 (link)]. In short, stromal cells were first incubated with PE-conjugated anti-CD140b (R&D System, Minneapolis, MN, USA) antibody followed by anti-mouse IgG1 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec Inc.). After incubation, cells were applied to Miltenyi MS columns with magnetic fields to isolate CD140b+ population. Afterwards, cells were expanded for 7 days followed by another round of beading with CD146 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec Inc.). CD140b+CD146+ population (endometrial stem-like cells, ESCs) were subjected to following experiments.

Isolation and Purification of Murine LSECs

Murine livers were obtained and dissociated using the liver dissociation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Dissociated hepatic cells were passed through a 40-µm filter, and red blood cells (RBCs) were lysed by RBC lysis buffer (eBioscience). The cell suspension was washed with PEB buffer (0.5% [v/v] BSA, 5 mM EDTA in PBS) before incubating in CD146 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec) for 15 min at 4°C. LSECs were enriched by passing the cell suspension through the MACS separator unit (Miltenyi Biotec). The enriched LSEC suspension was washed several times with PEB buffer and stained with Fc receptor blocker (antimouse FCGR3/CD16+-FCGR2B/CD32; Biolegend 101301, RRID:AB_312800). Subsequently, cells were stained with anti-CD31-PE (1:50; Thermo Fisher Scientific 12-0311-82, RRID:AB_465632) for 30 min at 4°C and then stained with DAPI (1:1000; Sigma D8417). Cells were sorted using a FACS Aria or Influx (BD Bioscience) directly into RLT plus buffer (Qiagen), passed through a QIAshredder (Qiagen), and stored at −80°C until use.

T cells were purified from PB cells prepared from fresh leukopaks as described above. Naive CD4+ T cells were negatively selected using a naive CD4+ T cell isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec). Total CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were isolated using CD4+ or CD8+ T cell isolation kits (Miltenyi Biotec). Tcons were positively selected with CD4 microbeads after depletion of CD25 cells with CD25 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec). CD4+CD146+ and CD4+CD146 T cells were purified using CD146 microbeads (Miltenyi Biotec) from negatively selected total CD4+ T cells. Purified T cells were activated with anti-CD3/CD28 or anti-CD3/ICOS antibody–coated Dynabeads M-450 Tosylactivated (Invitrogen) at a bead/cell ratio of 1:5. For Th1 differentiation, IL-2 (2 ng/ml), IL-12 (10 ng/ml), and neutralizing antibodies against IL-4 (10 μg/ml) were added. All antibodies were obtained from eBioscience unless otherwise indicated. For Th17 differentiation, IL-1β (20 ng/ml), IL-6 (30 ng/ml), IL-23 (30 ng/ml), TGF-β (2 ng/ml), and neutralizing antibodies against IL-4 (5 μg/ml) and IFN-γ (2 μg/ml) were added. Exposure to differentiating cytokines (all from R&D Systems) and antibodies was maintained throughout the 7-day culture period.

Livers of WT mice were perfused with 0.05% GBSS/collagenase (from clostridium histolyticum; Sigma Aldrich) solution, removed, and digested in GBSS/collagenase at 37 °C for 20 min. After filtration through a steel mesh, liver cells were washed twice with GBSS. Non-parenchymal cells were removed by density gradient centrifugation, using a 30% Nycodenz solution (Progen Biotechnik, Heidelberg, Germany). By magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS), CD146+ LSECs were isolated using CD146 MicroBeads (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Then, LSECs were seeded onto collagen-coated 24-well plates in DMEM (high glucose) supplemented with 8% FCS (Sigma Aldrich), 2% L-glutamine (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (ThermoFisher Scientific) for 2 days to form a monolayer.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Small intestine mucosa was first isolated from Villin CreER(+/-)EGFR and Villin CreER(+/-)HIF1α mouse lines as previously described[35 (link)]. EGFR and HIF1α deficiency were then confirmed via RT-PCR using total RNA extracted from enterocytes. For endothelial specific EGFR deficiency confirmation in the Tie-2-CreER(+/-)EGFR(flox/flox) mouse line, lung endothelial cells were used to verify the efficiency of gene ablation as previously described[36 (link)]. In brief, lung tissue was harvested and enzymatically digested (2mg/mL Collagenase I (Gibco 17100–017)) in Live Cell Imaging Solution (Invitrogen, A14291DJ) in a GentleMACS dissociator. Homogenates were filtered to remove undigested tissue and resuspended. Endothelial cells were then isolated from this lung cell suspension using CD146 MicroBeads (#130-092-007) and a MS Column (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA). Subsequently, total RNA was extracted from isolated endothelial cells and EGFR deficiency was verified via RT-PCR as detailed below.

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.
