Cardiac Spheroids from hiPSC-derived Cardiomyocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hiPSCs (253G4) were maintained on growth factor-reduced Matrigel-coated culture plates using modified Stem Fit media (Ajinomoto, Tokyo, Japan), as reported previously (7 ). hiPSCs were differentiated into CMs and non-CMs using 4-layer culture plates with active gas ventilation (7 ). After cardiac differentiation, the CMs were metabolically selected using glucose- and glutamine-depleted Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with 4 mM L-lactic acid (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Tokyo Japan) (7 , 8 (link), 9 (link)). Differentiation efficiency and purity were evaluated by flow cytometry analysis of cardiac troponin T levels (troponin T antibody [clone: REA400, Miltenyi Biotec, Auburn, California]). CSs were constituted with pure CMs in microwell plates as previously reported (12 (link)). One CS contains ∼1,000 CMs, and its size is ∼200 μm. Contraction and relaxation patterning of CSs were detected and visualized by Cell Motion Imaging System SI8000 (Sony Imaging Products & Solutions Inc., Tokyo, Japan). CSs were stimulated by 0.5-μM isoproterenol, and beating rate was measured.

3D Sphere Formation Assay in Hypoxia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were plated in ultralow attachment 96-well plates (Corning, Corning, NY, USA) at a density of 100 (normoxia) or 1000 (hypoxia) cells per well, and they were cultured in ULGM or ULGM supplemented with alternative substrates, as indicated. The outermost wells of each plate were excluded from analysis to avoid artifacts due to medium evaporation. Images were acquired with a Cell3 iMager Duos (SCREEN Holdings, Kyoto, Japan) or BZ-X710 (Keyence, Osaka, Japan) inverted microscope at 7 days after plating. Sphere area was quantified with Cell3 iMager Duos Software v1.4 (SCREEN Holdings, Kyoto, Japan) or ImageJ software ver1.51s (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA). For alternative substrate supplementation, L-lactic acid was purchased from Wako (Osaka, Japan), and all other chemicals from Tokyo Chemical Industry (Tokyo, Japan).

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.
