A frustule suspension was used as filler. The gels were prepared with 10% and 20% of polyacrylamide using 30% acrylamide/N,N'-methylene-bis acrylamide solution (29:1) (Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy), 3μl of 10% ammonium persulfate (APS) (BioRad) solution, with or without 1% w/v of frustules, 2.5μl of 0.1mg/ml Rho B solution (Sigma–Aldrich, Milan, Italy) and ddH2O for a final volume of 65μl. The polymerization was performed using 1 μl of tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED) (BioRad) in O-ring of 5 mm diameter and 1mm of thickness in order to obtain gels with the same dimensions.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Polyacrylamide (PA) gels were prepared on aminosilanized glass cover slips as previously described [14] (link). Briefly, 40% w/v acrylamide and 2% w/v bis-acrylamide stock solutions (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) were mixed to prepare a PA solution and then the gel’s stiffness was achieved by varying the final concentration of the PA solution (3% ∼7.5%) and Bis-acrylamide cross-linker (0.06% ∼0.4%). To polymerize the solutions, 2.5 µl of 10% w/v ammonium persulfate (APS; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and 0.25 µl of N,N,N′,N′-Tetramethylethylenediamine (TEMED; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) were added to yield a final volume of 500 µl PA solution. To crosslink extracellular matrix molecules onto the gel surface, a photoactivating cross-linker, 0.5 mg/ml of sulfo-SANPAH (sulfosuccinimidyl 6-(4′-azide-2′-nitrophenyl-amino) hexanoate, Pierce, Rockford, IL) solution was used. The powder of sulfo-SANPAH was dissolved in 10 mM HEPES buffer containing 0.5% DMSO and the solution was added on top of the PA gel. Gel dishes were placed at a distance of ∼15 cm from the UV light of the hood for 6 min and rinsed three times with 10 mM HEPES buffer for 10 min. A 200 µl of fibronectin solution (5, 10 or 40 µg/ml) from bovine plasma (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) was incubated on top of the sulfo-SANPAH-coated PA gel at 37°C overnight to deposit fibronectin for subsequent cell seeding.

The following antibodies were used for the detection of TET1, TET3, and beta-actin: anti-TET1 in dilution of 1:1000 (Thermo Fisher, PA5-72805), anti-TET3 in dilution 1:1000 (Abcam, ab 139311) and anti-beta-actin in dilution of 1:10 000 (Cell Signaling, 4967L). All membranes were incubated with a secondary anti-rabbit IgG antibody in a dilution of 1:7500, conjugated to horseradish peroxidise (HRP) (Thermo Fisher). Protein signals were detected by chemiluminescence using Clarity Max Western ECL Substrate (Bio-Rad) and quantified with ImageLab software (Bio-Rad). TET1 and beta-actin measurements were normalized to whole-cell lysate content based on the Ponceau S staining.

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.
