The prostates were collected from 8-to-10-week-old wild-type and NOX4−/− C57BL/6 mice. Prostates were then minced, and digested by 5 mg/ml Gibco® Collagenase Type I (cat. no. 17100017; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Rockford, IL) for 30 min at 37°C (24 ). Tissue fragments were then cultured for 2–3 weeks in Dulbecco's minimal essential media (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 1% nonessential amino acids with or without 30 μM MnTE-2-PyP (a gift from Dr. James Crapo, National Jewish Health, Denver, CO; for wild-type cells only). After five days of culture, all the cells were fibroblasts. Purity of the cells was determined by ER-TR7 (cat. no. 73355; Santa Cruz Biotechnology® Inc., Dallas, TX), a fibroblast marker, and by Keratin 17 (cat. no. 4543; Cell Signaling Technology®, Danvers, MA), an epithelial cell marker. All experiments were repeated in triplicate using primary fibroblast cells collected from prostates of different mice.

Western blotting was performed on up to 20 μg of the cell lystes that were used for proteomic analysis (above). Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE using a 4–15% Tris-HCl Ready Gel (Bio-Rad). The following primary antibodies were used at 1:1000 dilution in 5% milk, including: GAPDH (Millipore MAB374), RSPH4A (Sigma-Aldrich HPA031196), repetin (Sigma-Aldrich HPA030483), TGM1 (Sigma-Aldrich HPA040171), keratin 5 (Covance PRB160P), keratin 6 (Thermo PA5–28235), keratin 14 (Novus 34270) and keratin 17 (Cell Signaling 12509). The following secondary antibodies were used at 1:3000 dilution in 5% milk: goat anti-rabbit HRP (Santa Cruz Biotech sc-2004) and goat anti-mouse HRP (Santa Cruz Biotech sc-2005).

Isolation and Culture of Mouse Prostate Fibroblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Prostates were collected from six to eight-week-old C57BL/6 mice [12 (link)]. After mincing the prostates, they were digested by 5 mg/mL of collagenase I (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA, cat. 17100017) for 30 min at 37 °C [23 (link)]. Tissue fragments were then cultured for 2–3 weeks in Dulbecco’s Minimal Essential Media (DMEM, Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 1% non-essential amino acids. After 5 days of culture, all the cells were fibroblasts. The purity of the cells were determined by ERTR7 (Santa Cruz, cat. sc-73355), a fibroblast marker and Keratin17 (Cell Signaling cat. 4543) an epithelial cell marker. All experiments were repeated in triplicate using primary fibroblasts cells collected from prostates of different mice.

Prostates were collected from C57BL/6 mice at 2 months post-radiation or in 6–8-week-old mice that were untreated. After mincing the prostates, they were digested in 5 mg/mL collagenase I (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA, cat. 17100017) for 30 min at 37 °C [41 (link)]. Tissue fragments were then cultured for 2–3 weeks in Dulbecco’s Minimal Essential Media (DMEM), supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 1% non-essential amino acids with or without 30 μM MnTE-2-PyP (a gift from Dr. James Crapo, National Jewish Health, Denver, CO, USA). All the cells were fibroblasts after 5 days of culture. Purity of the cells was determined using ERTR7 (Abcam, cat. ab51824, Cambridge, MA, USA), a fibroblast marker and Keratin17 (Cell Signaling cat. 4543, Danvers, MA, USA), an epithelial cell marker. All experiments were repeated in triplicate using primary fibroblasts cells collected from prostates of different mice.

Isolation and Culture of Mouse Prostate Fibroblasts

Mouse primary fibroblasts were isolated as previously described8 (link),35 (link). Prostates were isolated from 6–8 week old C57BL/6J mice. Tissue was roughly minced with a scalpel then digested in 5 mg/mL collagenase I (Thermo Fisher, cat. 17100017, Waltham, MA, USA) for 30 min at 37 °C. Liberated cells and tissue fragments were then cultured for 2–3 weeks in Dulbecco’s Minimal Essential Media (DMEM), supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin and 1% non-essential amino acids. Cultures were maintained at 5% CO2 and 37 °C. After 5 days of culture only fibroblasts were present. Purity of the cells was determined using ERTR7 (Abcam, cat. ab51824, Cambridge, MA, USA), a fibroblast marker and Keratin17 (Cell Signaling, cat. 4543, Danvers, MA, USA), an epithelial cell marker. All experiments were repeated in triplicate using primary fibroblasts cells collected from prostates of different mice.

Isolation and Culture of Primary Mouse Colonic Fibroblasts

Colons/rectums were isolated from 8-10 week old C57BL/6 mice and digested in 5 mg/mL collagenase I [54 ]. Cells and large tissue fragments were divided and cultured for 2-3 weeks in Dulbecco's Minimal Essential Media (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 1% penicillin/streptomyocin and 1% non-essential amino acids with or without 0.25 μM MnTnBuOE-2-PyP. Media and MnTnBuOE-2-PyP were replaced every three days or the cells were passaged at confluency. Cell types in the cultures were characterized using immunofluorescence for Keratin17 (Cell Signaling #4543) to detect contaminating epithelial cells and ERTR7 (Santa Cruz #sc-73355) to verify the presence of fibroblasts. Epithelial cells were not detected in any of the cultures used for experimentation. All experiments were performed in the second or third week of culturing when cell division and viability was maximal. All assays were repeated in triplicate using separate isolations of primary fibroblasts.

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.
