Embryonic ventricular cardiomyocytes were isolated from 14.5 days old (E14.5) hemizygous Fucci embryos and wildtype littermates (for control of background fluorescence). We used a the Neomyts cardiomyocyte isolation kit (Cellutron Life Technologies NC9073658) and neonatal cardiomyocyte isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec 130–100-825) according to manufacturer protocols. The final pellet of cells was resuspended in 500 μL of PBS, supplemented with 5% FBS, and filtered through a 100 μm Nylon mesh to remove remaining tissue chunks. For both E14.5 and neonatal groups, single-cell analysis used samples from the same litter in each experiment, whereas the collection of pooled cells and tissue samples involved the combination of 2 litters for optimal RNA yields.

Hearts were removed from LEW/CrlCrlj (Charles River Laboratories Japan, Kanagawa, Japan) or LEW-Tg (Rosa-luc)11Jmsk (Jichi Medical University, Tochigi, Japan) neonatal rats aged 0–3 days old and washed three times with Hanks' Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS; Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical, Tokyo, Japan) [[30] (link), [31] (link), [32] (link)]. The hearts were minced into pieces less than 2 mm in size, and 7–8 pieces of tissue were placed into a gentleMACS C tube and processed in a gentleMACS dissociator (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Cardiomyocytes were collected using a Neonatal Heart Dissociation Kit (Milteny Biotec) and selected using a Neonatal Cardiomyocyte Isolation Kit (Milteny Biotec). The number of cardiomyocytes obtained was counted. The cells were seeded on culture dishes coated with fetal bovine serum (FBS; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Tokyo, Japan) and cultured under specific conditions for each experiment.

Isolation of Cardiac Cell Types

We isolated the mouse hearts at 1 day after AR using the Neonatal Heart Dissociation Kit in combination with gentleMACSTM and Octo Dissociator (Miltenyi BioTec, Teterow, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Then we used the Neonatal Cardiomyocyte Isolation Kit (130100825, Miltenyi BioTec, Teterow, Germany) to isolate mouse CMs by depletion of non-target cells. Nontarget cells were directly magnetically labeled with a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies conjugated with MACS MicroBeads. The magnetically labeled non-target cells were depleted by retaining them within a MACS (MS) column in the magnetic field of a MACS Separator, while the unlabeled CMs passed through the column. As for macrophages (MΦs) and endothelial cells (ECs), we incubated the target cells for 30 minutes at 4°C with the following antibodies: CD45-Percp (1:100, BD Biosciences, 557235), CD11b-PE (1:200, BD Biosciences, 557397), CD31-APC (1:200, Biolegend, 102419). After washing, we sorted the cells by flow cytometry on a FACS Aria Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). We identified MΦs as CD45+CD11b+, ECs as CD31+.

Isolation of Mouse Cardiomyocytes

For isolation of CMs from e14-p4 timepoints, we used the neonatal cardiomyocyte isolation kit from Miltenyi Biotec in conjunction with the gentleMACS Dissociator. For later timepoints, we performed Langendorff isolation of CMs. We prepared the following buffers:
We used a horizontal (i.e. non-hanging) Langendorff apparatus with a chamber filled with perfusion buffer. To perform isolation, we first performed isofluorane anaesthesia on non-heparinized mice. Mice were observed until clearly anaesthetized and unresponsive to toe pinch, and subsequently euthanized by cervical dislocation. The heart was then rapidly excised from the chest and cannulated to the Langendorff apparatus. Flow time and rate of flow were dependent on the age of the mouse and were typically judged based on completeness of digestion to touch. Subsequently, the left ventricular free wall was excised and minced. We filtered isolated cells through a 100 μM screen to eliminate large tissue chunks, spun down at 800 RPM for 1 minute (Eppendorf centrifuge 5702), and resuspended cells in 10 mL Tyrode’s buffer.

Primary cardiac cells were isolated from P1 and P7 mice using a neonatal dissociation kit (gentleMACS) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Separation to distinct cardiac cell populations was performed by using the Neonatal Cardiac Endothelial Cell Isolation kit (130-104-183, Miltenyi Biotec), Neonatal Cardiac Fibroblast Cell Isolation kit (130-101-372, Miltenyi Biotec) or by Neonatal Cardiomyocyte Isolation kit (130-100-825, Miltenyi Biotec), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Isolating and Manipulating Neonatal Mouse Cardiomyocytes

Heart tissues from WT (C57BL6/J) and MCUflox/flox mouse [16 (link)] pups at postnatal day 0 to 3 (P0–P3) were dissociated with the Neonatal Heart Dissociation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA). NMVMs were isolated from the heart cell suspension by magnetic labeling of non-cardiomyocytes with the Neonatal Cardiomyocyte Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated NMVMs were cultured on fibronectin-coated coverslips, supplemented with Medium 199 containing 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 100 U of penicillin G/mL, and kept in a humidified incubator at 37C with 5% CO2. When they reached 80% confluence, plated NMVMs were transfected with the mature miR-181c using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX Transfection Reagents (P/N56531, Invitrogen by Life Technologies) for 48 h. NMVMs were isolated from MCUflox/flox pups, and CRE was activated with adenovirus packaged with Recombinase Cre (Cat# 1700, Vector Biolabs) for 5 days. This adenovirus infection results in loss of MCU expression. During the last 48 h of the 5-day adenovirus treatment, we also transfected cells with either scrambled sequence or miR-181c mimic (Qiagen, Valencia, CA).

E12.5 heart ventricles were dissociated into single cell-suspensions using the Neonatal Heart Dissociation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec #130-098-373) with minor modifications from the manufacturer’s protocol. Embryonic tissue samples were incubated twice with enzyme dissociation mixes at 37°C for 15 min with gentle agitation by tube inversions between incubations. Cell mixtures were gently filtered through a 70 μm cell strainer and centrifuged at 300 x g, 5 min, 4°C. Red blood cells were lysed with 10X Red Blood Cell Lysis Solution (Miltenyi #130-094-183) and myocytes were isolated using the Neonatal Cardiomyocyte Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec #130-100-825). 75,000 isolated cardiomyocytes were used for each ATAC-Seq experiment. Libraries were prepped as previously described (Buenrostro et al., 2015 (link)).

Heart tissue from both WT (C57BL6/J) and miR‐181c/d−/− knock‐out mice pups postnatal day 0 to day 3 (P0–P3) was dissociated using Neonatal Heart Dissociation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA). Neonatal mouse ventricular myocytes (NMVMs) were isolated from the heart cell homogenate by magnetic labeling of noncardiomyocytes using Neonatal Cardiomyocyte Isolation Kit (Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, CA), following the company's instruction. Isolated NMVMs were cultured on fibronectin‐coated cover glasses and supplemented with Medium 199 containing 2% fetal bovine serum and 100 U of penicillin G/mL and kept in a humidified incubator at 37°C in 5% CO2.

Cardiomyocytes were isolated from P0 or P1 mouse hearts using a neonatal cardiomyocyte isolation kit (Miltenyi Biotec) based on the manufacturer’s instructions. Before plating, cardiomyocytes were filtered through a 70-μm mesh, and single cells were cultured in 24-well plates coated with gelatin. The cells were first maintained in 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) with penicillin/streptomycin antibiotics for 24 hours and subsequently treated for at least 2 hours with 50% horse serum in DMEM and then for 2 days with 5% FBS in DMEM. Cardiomyocytes were treated with norepinephrine (1 μΜ) (Sigma-Aldrich) or NGF (10 ng/ml) (PeproTech) as indicated.

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.
