Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Kidney organoids were stained with fluorescein-conjugated LTL (FL-1321, Vector Laboratories) as described elsewhere (Garreta et al., 2019 (link)). Kidney organoids were then dissociated to single cells using Accumax (07921, Stem Cell Technologies) for 15 min followed by 0.25% (wt/vol) trypsin (25300–054, Life Technologies) for 15 min at 37 °C. SA3800 software version 2.0.4 (SONY) was used to acquire flow cytometry samples in the Sony SA3800 spectral cell analyzer (SONY). FACSDiva software version 8.0.1 (BD Biosciences) was used in the FACS Aria Fusion instrument (BD Biosciences) for cell sorting experiments. FlowJo software version 10 was used to analyze the data.

For each analysis, THJ-11T and -16T cells were first incubated with the indicated dose of SI-2 or vehicle for 24 or 48 hours. For cell cycle analysis, the cells were trypsinized, washed, and fixed in 70% ethanol at – 20°C overnight. On the next day, the cells were washed and then incubated in DAPI staining solution (D9542, Sigma-Aldrich: 1 µg/ml DAPI in PBS) for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cell apoptosis was measured with Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit (556547, BD Biosciences). To assay for ALDH activity, we used an ALDEFLUOR kit (#01700, Stem Cell Technology, Lt.,) as per the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, the cells were trypsinized, after which 1 million cells were resuspended in 1 ml aldeflour assay buffer. Aldeflour reagent was added to this cell suspension and then half of the cell suspension was transferred to a fresh tube containing diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB), which is used to control for background fluorescence as a specific inhibitor of ALDH. The cells were incubated at 37°C for 30 minutes, washed, and then subjected to flow cytometry. All the stained cells were analyzed by Sony SA3800 spectral cell analyzer (Sony Biotechnology, Inc.). The data analysis was done by FlowJo software 10.5.3 (FlowJo LLC).

Quantifying Cellular and Mitochondrial ROS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two methods were used to determine ROS production. Mitochondrial ROS was determined with MitoSOX stain as we reported 25, 26 . To detect cellular ROS, cultured cells at 80% confluency were treated with DZ-SIM (5 μM) for 6 hours. The cells (1 × 10 7 ) were trypsinized and collected in 1 ml of fresh medium and were stained with diacetyldichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA, Dojindo Laboratories, Rockville, MD, USA), with the manufacturer's recommended protocol. After being washed in phosphate buffered saline twice, the samples were subjected to flow cytometry on a Sony SA3800 spectral cell analyzer (Sony Biotechnology, San Jose, CA, USA).

Differentiated cells were dissociated by treatment with StemPro Accutase Cell Dissociation Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 8–10 min. Collected cells were fixed, permeabilized, blocked, and incubated with antibody as mentioned in section 2.6. The antibodies used in this study are summarized in Supplemental Table 2. The analysis was performed using SONY SA3800 spectral cell analyzer (Sony Biotechnology, San Jose, CA, USA) (see also Supplemental Fig. 2A).

Quantification of GD2 Antigen Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The expression of GD2 antigen on U87MG and U87DR surface was analyzed by flow cytometry analysis using anti-GD2 Ab (14G2a). To perform this assay, cells were trypsinized and detached from the culture plates. The cells were collected and washed with PBS for incubation with unlabeled anti-GD2 Ab (1 μg per 106 cells) for 1 h. Followed by this, the cells were washed in PBS containing 1%FBS and 0.02% sodium azide. Subsequently, the cells were incubated with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled anti-mouse IgG (1:1000) for 40 min and washed twice in PBS. The samples were then analyzed using FACS instrument (SONY SA3800 spectral cell analyzer) where 10,000 events were collected for each sample. The data so obtained were further analyzed using the FlowJo software to determine the extent of GD2 expression.

Quantifying ALDH Activity in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ALDH activity of various cell lines was quantified using an ALDEFLUOR® assay kit (STEMCELL Technologies), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Cells were harvested, placed in assay buffer, and incubated for 45 min at 37°C to allow intracellular ALDH to convert uncharged ALDH substrate (BAAA) to negatively charged BAA. As a negative control, an aliquot of ALDEFLUOR-stained cells was quenched immediately with 1.5 mM diethylaminobenzaldehyde (DEAB), a specific ALDH inhibitor. Cells were analyzed using the green fluorescence channel (FL1) on a SA3800 spectral cell analyzer (Sony Biotechnology).

PBMCs were isolated from whole blood using SepMate tubes (STEMCELL Technologies). Cells were plated in round-bottom 96-well plates at 200,000 cells per well in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. Different EVs were added to the wells in a final volume of 200 µL and incubated overnight at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The next day, the cells were pelleted, washed, and stained for flow cytometry. Level of the GFP was assessed, along with different population markers (CD3—T Cells, CD19—B Cells, CD16/56—NK Cells, CD14—Monocytes, CD123—pDCs, CD11c—cDCs). Flow cytometry analysis was completed on a SA3800 Spectral Cell Analyzer (Sony).

Healthy human whole bloods were purchased from Research Blood Components LLC. All donors filled out their standard medical questionnaire and agreed to their donor informed consent form before blood donation. PBMCs were isolated from whole blood using SepMate tubes (STEMCELL Technologies). Cells were plated in round-bottom 96-well plates at 200,000 cells per well in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. ExoSTING or free CDNs were added to the wells in a final volume of 200 µL and incubated overnight at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The next day, the supernatant was harvested and analyzed for human IFN-β using an AlphaLISA kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Perkin Elmer).

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.
