Extracellular acidification rates and oxygen consumption rates were determined by the Seahorse XF 96 flux analyzer (Seahorse Bioscience). Primary airway epithelial cells were isolated as described above and plated onto cell culture microplates (Seahorse Bioscience) coated with 50 ng/μl Laminin 1 (3400-010-01, Trevigen) for 4 days (media change on Day 2). On the day of the experiment cells were treated with CSE for 4 hours. Cells were incubated in XF assay medium (Seahorse bioscience), supplemented with 5 mM glucose, 4 mM glutamine and 1 mM pyruvate for one hour prior to the measurement. After the recording of the basal rates of ECAR and OCR, final concentrations of 1 μM oligomycin, 2 μM carbonyl cyanide-4-(trifluoromethoxy) phenylhydrazone (FCCP) and 0.5–0.5 μM rotenone and antimycin A were added (Sigma) through the instruments injection ports in order to obtain proton leak, maximal respiratory capacity and non-mitochondrial respiration respectively. Rates were normalized by DNA with Hoechst 33342 against standards with known concentrations of DNA.

Lacrimal Gland Progenitor Cell Culture

We used a spheroid culture method modified from one for neural stem cells, and then a floating organoid culture method modified from one used for thymic epithelial cells and lacrimal gland epithelium as we reported previously.6 Briefly, after isolation, lacrimal gland progenitor cells were resuspended in culture medium as 4 × 106 cells/mL, and 50 μL of cell suspension was seeded in each micro-mold (Microtissues, Inc., Providence, RI). The formed spheroids were cultured in low attachment flasks for one more day, and then seeded into a 15 μL drop of laminin I (6 mg/mL; Trevigen, Inc., Gaithersburg, MD) sitting on a polycarbonate filter floating in serum-free medium for 2 weeks.

Corning Costar 7007 ultra-low attachment round bottom 96-well plates and phosphate buffered saline (PBS) were obtained from Corning (Corning, NY). Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), penicillin-streptomycin, and HCS CellMask Deep Red stain were acquired from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA). Laminin-I was purchased from Trevigen (Gaithersburg, MD). For fixation, 8% paraformaldehyde (PFA) solution was obtained from Electron Microscopy Sciences (Hatfield, PA). Parafilm “M” was obtained from Bemis (Oshkosh, WI). Fetal bovine serum (FBS), Agar powder, and Triton X-100 were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). The High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) inserts were acquired from Hero Glue (Las Vegas, NV). The neoprene gasket, absorbent mat, and nylon mesh for the containment base were obtained from McMaster-Carr (Elmhurst, IL). All other device components were fabricated with a Stratasys (Rehovot, Israel) Objet 30 Polyjet 3D printer using VeroWhitePlus acrylic photopolymer and support material. Centrifugation was conducted using a Sorvall Legend RT obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA). For confocal microscopy, a Zeiss (Oberkochen, Germany) LSM 880 was used.

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.
