human neonatal foreskin obtained from Northwestern University’s Skin
Biology and Disease Resource-based Center (IRB Protocol
#STU00009443).33 (link)Undifferentiated keratinocytes were cultured in M154 media (Thermo Fisher)
supplemented with 0.07mM CaCl2, human keratinocyte growth
supplement (HKGS), gentamicin, and amphotericin B. To induce differentiation
in 2D cultures, the calcium concentration of the growth medium was raised to
1.2mM CaCl2. 3D organotypic epidermal raft cultures using primary
keratinocytes were generated as previously described.33 (link) Drug treatments were performed with
200μM Primaquine (Sigma-Aldrich) for 6hr-overnight or 10μM R55
(Sigma-Aldrich) for 48–72hrs. Experiment with pre-differentiation,
keratinocytes were differentiated for 1.5 days before being treated with
200μM Primaquine overnight. During timelapse imaging, keratinocytes
were cultured with FluoroBrite DMEM (Thermo Fisher).
