hiPSC-CMs were intermittently exposed Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 ug/ml, Sigma, St. Louis, MO,US) every 6 hours per day for 1 week, observing the long-term effects of oxidative stress on WT or PLEKHM2-KO hiPSC-CMs at day 40 post myocardial differentiation. The effect of inhibiting oxidative stress on PLEKHM2-KO hiPSC-CMs was examined by treating with glutathione (GSH) (2 mM, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) for 10 days, and the culture medium with GSH was changed daily until day 40 post myocardial differentiation. Rapamycin (RAPA) (500 nM, Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, US) was used to inhibit the activation of the mTORC1 signaling pathway for 72 hours, and evaluating the effects of RAPA on autophagic flux, mitochondrial function, and myocardial contractility in WT or PLEKHM2-KO hiPSCs-CMS at D40 post myocardial differentiation.

Primary neuronal cultures were established as previously described (Guo et al., 2020 (link)). Postnatal brain tissue was dissected from early postnatal mice, and the tissues were digested with trypsin and mechanical dissociation to obtain neurons. The cell suspension was diluted with DMEM supplemented with 20% FBS (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Neurons were plated at a density of 100,000 cells on poly-L-lysine–coated 35-mm dishes or glass coverslips in 6-well plates and incubated in a cell culture incubator at 37°C for 4 h. Four hours after plating, the cells were maintained in Neurobasal medium supplemented with B27, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Invitrogen). Neurons were transfected with a plasmid encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) using the calcium phosphate transfection method at 7 days (DIV7) in vitro to visualize their spines. Certain cells were treated with 10 μM 3-methyladenine (3-MA) or 100 nM rapamycin (RAPA) (Selleck, United States) to assess the effects of drug interventions.

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.
