Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 3D colonoids were harvested from Matrigel after being cultured for 4–6 days. This was achieved by dissolving the Matrigel dome using Cell Recovery Solution (Corning), following the manufacturer's instructions. The collected organoids, along with the solution, were then treated by incubating them in TrypLE Express containing 10 µM of Y-27632 for 10 min at 37 °C. Subsequently, the disrupted organoids were filtered through a 70 µm cell strainer (Fisher Scientific) and centrifuged at 200 g, 4 °C for 5 min.
For the preparation of Falcon cell culture inserts (0.4 µm pores, Falcon), a coating process was carried out using 100 µg/ml Matrigel and 30 mg/ml collagen I (Gibco) in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 2 mM GlutaMAX, 10 mM HEPES, and 1 × Penicillin/Streptomycin. This coating process took place at 37 °C for 1 h. Dissociated single cells obtained from the colonoids were then quantified using a Hemocytometer and seeded at a concentration of 106 cells/ml within the pre-coated cell culture insert. The culture medium was changed every other day.

After humane euthanasia, Lewis rat femurs were removed, cleaned of all muscle and adherent tissue, and the epiphyses removed using a bone rongeur. Bone marrow (BM) was flushed from the bone shafts into a 50 mL conical tube using a 10 cc syringe fitted with an 18-gauge needle and filled with 10 mL ice cold HBSS containing 5% FBS. BM cells were collected by centrifugation at 450× g for 5 min at 4 °C and the pellet re-suspended in 45 ml of alpha-MEM containing 20% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (= growth media). The re-suspended cells were seeded (1–1.5 × 108 cells/dish) into three 100 mm tissue culture dishes containing 15 ml of growth media. Half media changes were performed on day 3 and day 5. After 7 days, passage 1 (P1) BM cells were detached by treating with collagenase type II (400 units/ml) (Worthington, Lakewood, NJ, USA) for 5–10 min at room temperature. The harvested cells, mainly containing MSCs (> 90% CD90 shown in Fig. 6A), were filtered through a 70 µm cell strainer (Fisher Scientific, cat. # 22363548, Fair Lawn, NJ, USA) to create a single cell suspension for subsequent experiments.

The 3T3-L1 cells were grown to 70% confluence under standard monolayer conditions
as recommended by the manufacturer and collected via a 5-min incubation at
37oC with 1× trypsin ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA;
ATCC). Cells were filtered through a single-use sterile 70 µm cell strainer
(Fisher Scientific) to remove cell clumps. Single cells were counted with a
hemocytometer, pelleted and resuspended at a concentration of
5 × 105 cells/mL in 0.5% low-temperature agarose in DMEM. The 0.5%
low-temperature agarose (Bio-Rad) was created by mixing equal volumes of 1%
low-temperature agarose with 2× DMEM. A 10 μL drop of individual cells suspended
in 0.5% low-temperature agarose was plated in the center of a 35-mm cell culture
dish previously coated with a 1% high-temperature agarose (Bio-Rad). Cultures
were allowed to gel at 4oC for 15 minutes prior to feeding with 2 mL
of media (DMEM, 10% fetal bovine serum [FBS] or 10% BCS, 0.1% pen-strep). Cells
were fed by complete media change of 2 mL at half-week intervals. A detailed
description of the protocol for 3D agarose is described in Kinder and Aulthouse.3 (link)
