Chemotaxis Assay for Immune Cell Migration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant human CXCL12 and CCL21 were purchased from R&D Systems. A transwell cell migration assay was performed using a 24‐well chemotaxis chamber with 5‐µm pore inserts precoated with 20 µg/mL fibronectin (Sigma‐Aldrich) for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells (1 × 105 cells/mL) were resuspended in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 2% FCS and added to the upper chambers, whereas CXCL12 or CCL21 to the lower chambers. After incubating for 18 hours, the cells on the lower surface of the membrane were fixed with methanol and stained with hematoxylin and eosin. Cell number was counted under a light microscope in eight fields per membrane at a 200‐fold magnification. The relative chemotactic index was determined as the ratio of the proportion of cells that migrated in response to multiple chemokines to the proportion that migrated in response to a single chemokine. The assay was performed in triplicate. Data were expressed as the mean ± SD and were analyzed by Student's t test. A two‐tailed P‐value of 0.05 or less was considered significant.

Protein Adsorption on Microfluidic Devices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recombinant human CXCL12 and recombinant human Fc-ICAM1 chimeric fusion protein were obtained from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN). SDC4, expressed in mammalian cells so as to have glycosaminoglycans, was obtained from Adipogen Corporation (San Diego, CA). These molecules adsorbed onto the device walls at concentrations of 20, 80, and 50 micrograms per milliliter, for CXCL12, ICAM1, and SDC4, respectively, in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for a minimum of four hours in a 37 °C incubator. After this incubation, device channels were blocked with 5% BSA in saline for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Measuring Ca2+ Dynamics in Breast Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Ca2+ measurements, MDA-MB-231 (7.5×103 cells/well) or MDA-MB-468 (1.5 ×104 cells/well) cells were seeded in a 96-well CellBIND plate (Corning Life Sciences, Corning, NY, USA) in antibiotic-free DMEM containing L-glutamine (4 mM) and 10% FBS (MDA-MB-468 cells were seeded at a higher density due to their slower proliferation rate). At 24 h post-plating, the FBS concentration was decreased to 8%. At 72 h post-plating, Ca2+ assays were performed using a fluorescence imaging plate reader, FLIPRTETRA (Molecular Devices, LLC, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and 4 µM Fluo-4 AM dye (Molecular Probes; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) in physiological salt solution, as previously described (24 (link)). Cells were excited at 470–495 nm and emission was assessed at 515–575 nm over an 800 sec period. Relative cytoplasmic (CYT) [Ca2+]CYT was determined in the presence of 300 and 100 ng/ml recombinant human CXCL12 (R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) or 100 µM adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA). Data were acquired using ScreenWorks™ software (v2.0.0.27, Molecular Devices, LLC) and are presented as the response over baseline, which is a measure of relative [Ca2+]CYT.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C4-2B cells were grown in triplicate on glass coverslips in a six-well dish and then stimulated to express αVβ3 by treatment with 200 ng/mL of recombinant human CXCL12 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) for 1, 6, or 12 h at 37 °C. After cells were stimulated, they were rinsed with PBS, fixed with 4% formaldehyde (Affymetrix) for 10 min at room temperature, washed twice with PBS, and blocked for 1 h with 1% BSA in PBS. Next cells were incubated for 4 h with a 1:100 dilution of anti-integrin αVβ3 antibody, clone LM609 (Millipore). Incubation was followed by three washes with PBS and then incubation for 45 min with a 1:200 dilution of the goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 conjugate (Life Technologies). Cells were washed twice more and mounted on slides with Prolong Gold antifade reagent with DAPI (Invitrogen). Fluorescent images were taken with Olympus BX53 fluorescence microscope with a DP80 CCD camera (Olympus). It is equipped with a 100 W halogen lamp and a condenser (NA = 0.9). The exposure time of 0.25 s and illumination intensity lamp voltage of 9 V were used for imaging. The images were analyzed by ImageJ (NIH) software.

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.
