Primary Keratinocyte Isolation and Differentiation

Primary keratinocytes were isolated as previously described from
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).

All chemicals were purchased from Sigma Aldrich unless otherwise noted in Supplemental Figure 1. The ASZ and BSZ cell lines were obtained from Professor Robert Holmgren at Northwestern University. FBS, M154 media, DPBS, and NucBlue stain were obtained from ThermoFisher (MT35010CV, M154CF500, 14190250, and R37605, respectively). Trypsin was obtained from Gibco (TrypLE, 12563011) Pen/Strep was obtained from Sigma Aldrich (P0781). All DNA sequences were obtained from IDT with standard desalting and HPLC purification.

NHEKs were extracted from skin discarded during plastic surgery procedures, after written informed consent had been obtained as previously described [43 (link)]. The keratinocytes were seeded on feeder plates containing 3T3-J2 fibroblasts and were grown in medium Green containing 42.5% DMEM (Biological Industries, Beit-Haemek, Israel), 42.5% DMEM/F12 (Biological Industries, Beit-Haemek, Israel), 10% FCII serum, 1% penicillin-streptomycin, 1mM L-glutamine, 1mM sodium pyruvate, 5 μg/mL Insulin, 0.2 mM adenine, 0.5 μg/mL hydrocortisone, 2nM Triiodothyronine, 0.1 nM cholera toxin and 10 ng/mL EGF, and were frozen upon 90% confluence. Cell were then thawed and cultured in KGM media (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland).
For the dispase-based dissociation assay, NHEKs were extracted from foreskin using the same conditions and were thawed and cultured in M154 media (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA).

CIN612 cells were differentiated as previously described [62 (link)]. Cells were seeded at ~ 5 x 106 in 10cm dishes and 16 hours later switched to M154 media (Life Tech) with 0.03mM CaCl2. After 24 hours keratinocytes were switched to M154 with 1.5mM CaCl2 and incubated for another 72 hours to differentiate prior to isolation. DNA was purified using Phenol:Chloroform;Isoamyl Alcohol (ThermoFisher). Southern blot analysis was performed as previously described by Mehta and Laimins [37 (link)].

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.
