Deoxyribonuclease dnase

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany

Deoxyribonuclease (DNase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of DNA molecules. It functions by breaking down the phosphodiester bonds within the DNA backbone, effectively reducing the size and complexity of DNA fragments. This enzymatic activity is a core process in various laboratory procedures, such as DNA extraction, purification, and manipulation.

Referring to our previous study [10 (link)], AF samples harvested from fresh bovine tails were frozen in liquid nitrogen for 22 ​h prior to thawing in a hypotonic buffer (10 ​mM tris–HCl, pH 8.0) at 37 ​°C for 2 ​h. A 75% ethanol pre-wash of AF samples was then conducted for 2 ​h. Subsequently, AF samples were placed in the decellularization solution, which consisted of tris–HCl buffer (10 ​mM Tris–HCl, pH 8.0) containing 0.2% SDS, 0.1% EDTA, and 10 KIU/mL aprotinin at 4 ​°C for 24 ​h with gentle agitation (40 r/m) on an orbital shaker. After transient rinsing, samples were submerged in deoxyribonuclease (DNase 50 U/mL; Sigma, USA) and ribonuclease (RNase 1 U/mL; Sigma, USA) in Tris buffer (50 ​mM tris–HCl, 10 ​mM magnesium chloride, and 50 ​mg/mL bovine serum albumin at pH 7.5) for 3 ​h at 37 ​°C with gentle agitation. Decellularized AF scaffolds were eventually acquired after being constantly washed three times in PBS for 8 ​h. Scaffolds were freeze-dried and stored in a sterile environment for further use.

Mice primary hippocampal neuronal cultures were prepared as previously described by others 57 (link). Except when otherwise indicated, all reagents were from Gibco. Briefly, hippocampi were dissected from P2 mouse pups in cold Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS) supplemented with 0.08% D-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.17% Hepes, and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Pen-Strep); filter-sterilized; and adjusted to pH 7.3. After dissection, the hippocampi were washed twice with cold HBSS and individually incubated at 37°C for 20 min in papain dissociation solution (45 U of papain (Worthington), 0.01% deoxyribonuclease (DNase), 1 mg of DL-cysteine, 1 mg of bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 25 mg of D-glucose (all from Sigma-Aldrich) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After digestion, the hippocampi were washed twice with DMEM preheated to 37°C and supplemented with 10% FBS and dissociated by 10 cycles of aspiration through a micropipette tip. Dissociated neurons were then resuspended in warm DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and plated in 6-well plates containing 25-mm sonicated glass coverslips pretreated with 50 μg/ml poly-L-lysine (PLL, Sigma-Aldrich). After 1 hour, the medium was replaced with Neurobasal-A medium, which was supplemented with 2% B-27 and 0.25% GlutaMAX (neuronal medium). Primary neurons were maintained in a standard tissue culture incubator at 37°C with 5.5% CO2.

Decellularization of Cartilage Scaffold

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protocol started with an initial dry 12 hour freeze thaw of the specimens followed by thawing at room temperature. This was followed by another 12 hour wet freeze thaw cycle in phosphate buffer solution (PBS, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) at −20 °C. The addition of a wet freeze thaw cycle in PBS allowed for cellular remnants to be washed away from the scaffold after thawing at room temperature. In addition it exerted greater mechanical pressure on the cartilage in physically decellularizing it. The cartilage was subsequently washed in deionized water overnight under agitation at room temperature. The next step involved transferring the tissue specimens to 4% sodium deoxycholate solution (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) under agitation at room temperature for four hours. This was subsequently followed by a wash in PBS solution for 30 minutes under agitation at room temperature. Next, the tissue specimens were submersed in 2% deoxyribonuclease/DNase (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) for 3 hours. This was followed by an overnight wash in deionized water with agitation at room temperature. The process was repeated for subsequent cycles however the initial freeze thaw steps were only performed once at the beginning of the protocol (Fig. 2).
