For air-liquid interface (ALI) cultures58 (link), 100,000 cultured epithelial cells per well were added to 0.4μm pore 24-well polyester membrane inserts (Corning) pre-coated with 0.03 mg/mL Type I bovine collagen solution (StemCell Technologies) with Pneumacult-Ex media (Stemcell Technologies, 05008) on both sides of the membrane. After 24 hours, apical media was changed to remove dead cells. After 72 hours, apical media was removed completely and basal media was changed to Pneumacult-ALI (Stemcell Technologies, 05001) supplemented with 5 mL 100x penicillin-streptomycin (Fisher), 1 mL 500x gentamicin/amphotericin B (ThermoFisher), 1 mL 0.2% heparin sodium salt in PBS (Stemcell Technologies) and 2.5 mL 200x hydrocortisone stock solution (Stemcell Technologies) and 0, 0.1, 1 or 10 ng/mL IL-13 (Biolegend). Basal media was changed every 2–3 days for 21 days, after which membranes were removed and cells dissociated with Stempro Accutase Cell Dissociateion Reagent (Gibco) for Seq-Well or flow cytometry. After following scRNA-seq data analysis pipelines described above, cell states recovered in ALI cultures (Fig. 5a; Extended Data Fig. 9g) were related to in vivo cell types59 (link).

For mammosphere culture, MDA MB 231 cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) with less than ten passages were grown to about 70%–80% confluence and then enzymatically detached with trypsin (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan), gently pipetted and suspended into single cells and passed through a 40 μm cell strainer (Corning, Lowell, MA, USA). A quantity of 1 mL of MDA MB 231 cells suspension was cultured in 24 well ultra-low attachment plates (Corning, Lowell, MA, USA) at 20,000 cells/mL in Mammocult complete media (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada) supplemented with 4 μg/mL of heparin solution (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada), 0.48 μg/mL hydrocortisone stock solution (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada), and 1% antibiotics (Nacalai Tesque, Kyoto, Japan). After 7 days of culture in the incubator in 5% CO2 and at 37 °C, mammospheres were used for further experiment [29 (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.
