The NP tissues were washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Gibco, Grand Island, NY, United States), minced into small fragments and digested in 0.25% (w/v) trypsin (Gibco) and 0.2% (w/v) type Π collagenase (Gibco) and then placed in PBS for approximately 3 h at 37°C in a gyratory shaker. Cells were filtered through a 70 μm mesh filter (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States). Primary NP cells were cultured with growth medium (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium) and Ham’s F-12 Nutrient Mixture (DMEM-F12; Gibco), 20% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco), 50 U/mL penicillin, and 50 μg/mL streptomycin (Gibco) in 100 mm culture dishes in a 5% (v/v) CO2 incubator. The cells were passaged at approximately 80% (v/v) confluence using trypsin and subcultured in a 60 mm culture dish (2.5 × 105 cells/well). Cells that had been passaged no more than twice were used in the subsequent experiments.

Preparation of Inflammatory Synovial Cells

Inflammatory synovial cells were prepared by cutting the synovial tissues from arthritic joints into small pieces, followed by enzymatic digestion for 30 min at 37°C in plain IMDM buffer (Sigma-Aldrich) with Liberase TM (0.25 mg/ml; Roche), and then by mashing the digested tissues through 70-μm mesh filter (BD Biosciences). The resultant single cell suspension of synovial tissues was used for flow cytometry or cell sorting experiments. Non-hematopoietic synovial cells adherent to culture dishes were passaged several times without any stimulation in DMEM medium (Nacalai Tesque) supplemented with 20% FBS (GIBCO) and penicillin-streptomycin (Nacalai Tesque) in order to remove synovial immune cells and used as FLS.

Gingival Tissue Isolation for Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gingival tissue was harvested during periodontal surgery from an inflamed site with a persistent periodontal pocket ≥6 mm in periodontitis patients (n = 6). In the controls, gingival tissue was harvested from a site without periodontal pocket in conjunction with an implant surgery or tooth extraction performed for reasons other than periodontitis (n = 6). Tissues were placed in complete RPMI 1640 media (GE Healthcare Life Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden). The tissues were cut into small pieces and incubated with 0.3 mM CaCl2 in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at 37°C with magnetic stirring for 10 min. After that, they were incubated with Collagenase II (0.5 mg/ml; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and DNase I (0.25 mg/ml; Roche, Basel, Switzerland) in RPMI 1640 without FCS at 37°C with magnetic stirring for 40 min. The suspension was filtered through a 70-μm mesh filter (Falcon, Corning, NY, USA), washed with complete RPMI, and centrifuged at 400 g for 5 min. Cell suspensions were then stained and analyzed by flow cytometry.

Isolation of CD4+CD8+ T Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Thymi of mice were dissociated through a 70μM mesh filter (Falcon) in RPMI 1640 (Corning) with 1% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich), and single cell suspensions were stained with 7AAD (Biolegend) for live cell distinction, as well as PE CD4 (RM404) and APC CD8a (53–6.7) for double-positive CD4+ CD8+ T cell isolation. Sorting was performed on FACS Aria II (BD Biosciences), with forward scatter–height by forward scatter–width and side scatter–height by side scatter–width parameters being used to exclude doublets. Purity was verified after sorting.

Cortical Neuron Culture Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cortical neuron cultures were prepared from mouse embryos (E18). The cerebral cortex was isolated and maintained in cold Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS, Gibco) supplemented with 0.45 % glucose. After removal of the meninges, the cortical tissue was digested mildly with trypsin for 17 min at 37°C and mechanically dissociated. Cells were washed three times in HBSS and resuspended in Neurobasal medium supplemented with 2 mM Glutamax (Gibco) before filtering in 70 μm mesh filters (BD Falcon). Cells were plated onto glass coverslips (5 × 104 cells/cm2) coated with 0.1 mg/ml poly-L-lysine (Sigma). 2 h after seeding, the plating medium was replaced by complete growth medium (Neurobasal medium supplemented with 2% B27 (Invitrogen) and 2 mM Glutamax) and the coverslips were incubated at 37°C in a humidified 5 % CO2 atmosphere. Every 3–4 days, half of the conditioned medium was removed and replaced by fresh growth medium. Primary cultures were transfected with Lipofectamine 2000 on day 7 in vitro (7 DIV), according to the manufacturer's, instructions and the cells were fixed 72 h after transfection. All the experimental procedures were carried out according to European Union guidelines (Directive 2010/63/EU) and following protocols that were approved by the Ethics Committee of the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute (IDIBELL).

Profiling Murine Thymocyte Populations

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single-cell suspensions were prepared from thymi of mice by dissociation of tissue through 70 μM mesh filters (Falcon) in RPMI 1640 (Corning) +1% FBS (Gemini), and surfaces were stained following standard protocols. The fluorochrome-conjugated, anti-mouse antibodies were as follows: PE CD4 (RM4-4), APC CD8a (53-6.7), PE c-Kit (2B8), APC CD25 (PC61), and Streptavidin BV605. For intracellular detection of TCF-1 in RV-transduced NIH3T3, cells were harvested after trypsin dissociation (Gibco), fixed with 1% PFA for 10 minutes on ice to preserve VEX signal, fixed and permeabilized with the FoxP3/Transcription Factor Staining Buffer Set (eBioscience), and incubated with PE-conjugated anti-TCF-1 (S33-966). All antibodies used for flow cytometry were purchased from BioLegend or BD Biosciences. Data were collected on an LSRII running DIVA software (BD Biosciences) and were analyzed with FlowJo software v10.2 (TreeStar).

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.
