Appressorium Formation and Penetration Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue culture dishes (60 x 15 mm; Sarstedt AG; Germany) were coated with 1,16-hexadecanediol (1 ml solution, 0.1 mM in methanol), which is inductive for appressorium formation in M. grisea [32 (link)]. Though not essential, this led to more reliable results across different charges of plastic plates. After drying, 5 ml of conidia suspension (2 x 105 conidia/ml) were added and incubated for 24 h at 25°C. To check the ability to penetrate a cellophane surface, sterilized dialysis tubes (Visking 36/32, Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) were put on 1.2% agarose-covered glass slides and incubated with 1 x 105 conidia for two days at 25°C and high humidity conditions. The incipient cytorrhysis assay of appressoria was performed in coated Tissue culture dishes with 1 x 106 conidia/dish. The water was substituted after 24 h with polyethylene glycol 6000 solutions with concentrations varying from 100 to 500 mg/ml which corresponds to external turgor pressures from 70 Pa to 5.8 MPa [33 (link)]. The percentage of collapsed appressoria was quantified after 10 min of incubation in polyethylene glycol solution in three biological replicates with at least 100 appressoria each.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293 cells were seeded on glass coverslips in tissue culture dishes 35×10 mm (Sarstedt, 83.1800) and grown to 90% confluence for 48 h in DMEM supplemented with GlutaMax (Life Technologies), 10% fetal calf serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (PAA). Confluent cells were transfected with Turbofect (Thermo Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After 24 h of protein expression, cells were washed with PBS buffer and fixed with 4% PFA for 15 min at room temperature. Afterwards, cells were washed with PBS buffer and mounted on microscopy slides with ProLong Gold Antifade (Sigma, 36930). Localization of DdTMEM16-GFP protein in HEK293 cells was analyzed by imaging fluorescence with a Leica SPE confocal microscope (Leica, TCS SPE).

Culturing and Differentiating Osteosarcoma Stem Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells were obtained from the RIKEN Cell Bank (Saitama, Japan) and cultured in DMEM (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical) supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37°C in 5% CO2 (42 (link)). The patient-derived OS cell line 143B was obtained from the ATCC (Manassas, USA) and cultured in adherent medium containing DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 110 μg/mL sodium pyruvate (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Both cell types were cultured in tissue culture dishes (SARSTEDT) to ensure optimal adherence and expansion. To enrich stem-like cells, 143B cells were harvested using trypsin (BD Bioscience) and EDTA (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), then cultured in osteosphere medium containing DMEM/F12 (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical) supplemented with 20 ng/mL recombinant human EGF (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), 20 ng/mL recombinant human basic FGF (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical), B27 supplement without vitamin A (Gibco), GlutaMAX (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Under these conditions, the cells were incubated in Ultra-Low Attachment Surface culture dishes (Corning). To assess the differentiation potential of OSCs, the cells were transferred from osteosphere to adherent medium, and from Ultra-Low Attachment Surface to tissue culture dishes, to promote adherence and differentiation.

Microelectrode Fabrication and Calibration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microelectrodes were made by pulling (pipette puller PIP 6, HEKA, Lambrecht, Germany) from glass capillaries (Ø1.5 mm, Hilgenberg, Malsfeld, Germany), baked at 210 °C (LE040K1RN, Nabertherm, Lilienthal, Germany), and silanized (Tributylchlorosilane, Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland) for achieving appropriate shape and hydrophobic surface. The tip diameter was adjusted to approximately 10 μm. As the inner (backfilling) solution, 200 mM KCl was used. The electrode tip was filled with a liquid ion exchanger (LIX) (potassium ionophore I—Cocktail A, FLUKA: for K+-flux measurements). As a reference electrode, a pipette with tip diameter of about 100 µm filed with 1 M NaCl in 2% agarose was used. A chlorided silver wire was inserted in both electrodes and connected with the MIFE preamplifier.
Before each experiment, calibration was carried out (six calibration points in the range between 10 μM and 3 mM of the respective ion). Calibrations were performed in tissue culture dishes (Ø35 mm, Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Deutschland) filled with 2 mL of calibration solution (measurement solution without KCl).

All animal experiments were carried out in accordance with the Canadian Council on Animal Care guidelines and approved by the IRCM Animal Care Committee and the McGill University Animal Care Committee. Fertilised chicken eggs (FERME GMS, Saint-Liboire, QC, Canada) were incubated (Lyon Technologies, model PRFWD) at 39 °C according to standard protocols25 (link). LMC explants were collected from HH st. 24–26 lumbar spinal cords and incubated in 95% air and 5% CO2 at 37 °C in MN medium for about 18 hours as previously described27 (link). 20 mL of MN medium solution is: 19.2 mL of Neurobasal medium (Invitrogen, cat. no. 21103-049), 400 µL Serum-free supplement (50×, B-27; Invitrogen, cat. no. 17504-044), 2 µL of l-glutamic acid (50 mM, Sigma-Aldrich, cat. no.

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.
