All animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (No: A10871, date of approval: 04/10/2020; No: A10979, date of approval: 03/18/2021) of Fu Jen Catholic University. Murine male germ cells were isolated using a centrifugal system according to the density of different types of germ cells, as described previously.
28 (link) Briefly, testes were decapsulated and the seminiferous tubules were enzymatically digested, after which the germ cell suspensions were filtered through 35‐μM nylon filters (Falcon). The suspension of single cells was centrifuged at different gravity levels on a Kubota centrifuge 3330. Germ cells were collected at different developmental stages. Mature spermatozoa were collected from the cauda epididymides of adult male mice. Finally, suspended male germ cells were spread on a slide and air‐dried for further analysis.

Mouse lung fibroblasts, MLg (MLg 2908) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA) (CCL-206) and cultivated in DMEM/HAM’s F12 (catalog# E15-813, PAA (Pasching, Austria)) medium containing 10% FBS (PAA). For isolation of primary human lung fibroblasts, specimens from lung lobes or segmental lung resections were dissected into pieces of 1–2 mm2 in size and digested by 5 mg of Collagenase I (Biochrom (Berlin, Germany)) at 37 °C for 2 hours. Subsequently, samples were filtered through nylon filters with a pore size of 70 μm (BD Falcon, (Bedford, MA, USA)). Filtrates, containing the cells, were centrifuged at 400 g, 4 °C for 5 minutes. Pellets were resuspended in DMEM/F-12 medium (Gibco, (Darmstadt, Germany)) supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (PAA) and plated on 10 cm cell-culture dishes and subsequently cultured to a confluence of 80–90% in DMEM/HAM’s F12 medium containing 20% FBS. All cells were cultivated under standard conditions (5% CO2 and 37 °C). MLg fibroblasts and primary cells were not used at passage numbers higher than 15 and 10, respectively.

Hindlimb muscles deriving from a single mouse were dissected and finely minced in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) (Gibco). Minced muscles were enzymatically digested for 60 min (postnatal muscles) to 90 min (P56 adult muscles) at 37°C with agitation every 20 min in a solution containing collagenase A (2 mg/mL, Roche), dispase II (3 mg/mL, Roche), DNase I (10 μg/mL, Roche), 0.4 mM CaCl2 (Sigma), and 5 mM MgCl2 (Sigma). The resulting cell suspension was washed with HBSS with addition of 0.2% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 0.5% antibiotics (Gibco) and passed successively through 100- and 40-μm nylon filters (Falcon). Red blood cells were lysed in 1 mL of red blood cell lysing buffer (BD Biosciences) for 20 min. Cells were then transferred to flow cytometry collection tube.

Strains were grown for 24 or 72 hours in YCFAC liquid medium (Anaerobe Systems) containing 100 μM DCA. 2g NaCl2 was added to 7 mL culture supernatant, followed by 700 μL 6M HCl. The supernatant was extracted with 5 mL ethyl acetate followed by dehydration in 2 g MgSO4, and a second extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic extract was filtered through 40 μm nylon filters (Falcon), then dried by vacuum centrifugation in glass tubes. The pellet was resuspended in methanol, tubes were washed in an equal volume of acetone and the solvent was again removed by vacuum centrifugation. The final dried pellet was resuspended in 100 μL acetone and was spotted onto glass-backed silica plates (Sigma), which were developed in 70:20:2 benzene/1,4-dioxane/acetic acid. Plates were stained in 10% w/v CuSO4 8% H3PO4 and dried over a hot plate.

Mouse lungs were digested with 10 mg of collagenase (Fujifilm Wako), 10 mg of dispase (Gibco), and 10 μg of DNase (Worthington Biochemical, Lakewood, NJ) in 10 mL of serum-free DMEM at 37 °C for 45 min. The cells were resuspended in PBS-1% BSA and sequentially filtered through 100- and 40-μm nylon filters (Falcon). After treatment with red blood cell lysis buffer (Sigma-Aldrich), cells were resuspended in PBS-1% BSA and loaded onto a cell sorter (FACSAria III, BD Biosciences). For FACS sorting, cells were labeled with the following antibodies: anti-CD144-PE/Cy7 (1:200, 138015, BioLegend), anti-CD11b-APC (1:200, 101211, BioLegend), and anti-F4/80-FITC (1:400, 123107, BioLegend). FACS data were analyzed using FACS Diva 8.0.2 (BD) and Flowjo v7.6 (Flowjo LLC).

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.
