The stromal vascular fraction was isolated from adipose tissue and prepared for flow cytometry or culture. Briefly, the adipose tissue deposits (epididymal and inguinal white adipose tissue; E-WAT and I-WAT, respectively) were removed, weighed, minced and digested with 1 mg/ml Collagenase D from Clostridium histolyticum (Roche, Dublin, Ireland) for 30 min at 37°C for 30 min with shaking. Digested tissue was passed through a 70μM cell strainer and cells pelleted at 1,500 rpm for 5 min. Red blood cell contamination was removed by incubation with a hypotonic lysis solution. Cells were used for flow cytometry or cultured for 2 h in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin at a density of 2 × 106 cells/ml at 37°C with 5% CO2. Gene expression was assessed in adherent cells.

Protein Release from 3D-Printed Scaffolds

Protein absorption and release study was carried out as previously reported [9 (link)]. Model proteins lysozyme from chicken egg (Sigma-Aldrich, UK) and bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma-Aldrich, UK) were solubilized in HBSS (Thermo-Fisher, UK) at 10 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL, respectively. To investigate the effect of the nanoclay particles on drug release, 3D scaffolds were printed using nanocomposite (LAB) and Laponite-free controls (alginate-bone-ECM (AB)) to allow the absorption of the compounds of interest after ionic crosslinking. The 3D-printed constructs (n=3) were soaked in lysozyme or BSA for 1 h, and their release was monitored over 24 h. BSA and lysozyme were quantified with a RAPID kit (Sigma-Aldrich, UK) using a GloMax Discover microplate reader (Promega). The supernatant was collected after 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, and 24 h following adsorption. Collagenase D (from Clostridium histolyticum, Roche Diagnostics GmbH) was added 24 h after adsorption to stimulate material degradation and cargo release. BSA and lysozyme release was quantified after 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 20, and 24 h.

Eyes were harvested and pooled for each experimental group. After removal of lens, eyes were minced and digested with 1 mg/ml of collagenase D from Clostridium histolyticum (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) in culture medium consisting of RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 2% L-glutamine, and 5 × 10−5 M of 2-ME for 30 minutes at 37°C. Cells were extracted through a 40 μm cell strainer, live cells were counted using a hemocytometer and trypan dye exclusion, washed in flow cytometry buffer (0.2% BSA, 0.1% sodium azide in PBS) and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies against mouse CD45.2 (Clone 104), CD3 (17A2), CD4 (GK1.5), CD8 (53–6.7), CD19 (6D5), CD11b (M1/70), CD11c (N418), I-Ab (AF6–120.1), and Ly6C (HK1.4). Antibodies were purchased from Biolegend. Flow cytometry was performed on an LSR II cytometer in the Molecular Biology Core Facility of the Kellogg Eye Center and data were analyzed using FlowJo v10.0.7 software (TreeStar, Inc.). Cells were gated for lymphocytes (low side scatter and intermediate forward scatter) and then live singlet cells that are positive for CD45.2 marker. For calculation of total number of cells, equal number of cells in lymphocyte gate were considered.

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.
