MCF-7, MCF-10A, MDA-MB-231 and LM2 cells were transfected with 10μg DNA using the AmaxaTM nucleofector (Lonza) as recommended. HEK293T cells were transfected using JetPrimeTM (Polyplus Transfection, Illkirch, France) as recommended. Microinjection was performed as described [40 (link)]. Briefly, 5-20 μg/ml cDNAs in HKCl (10 mM Hepes, 140 mM KCl, pH 7.4) were pressure injected into cell nuclei using a micromanipulator (MMO-202ND; Narishige). Cells were incubated at 37°C for 90min to allow for expression of cDNAs.

To obtain germ-line transformation of C. elegans expression plasmids with a selection marker were injected in the cytoplasm of the syncytial gonad. Microinjection was done generally by the method described in WormBook (Evans 2006 ). DNA solution was prepared by mixing the expression plasmid (10-20 μg/ml) and pRF4 (rol-6(su1006)) (100 μg/ml). Final concentration of DNA mixture was adjusted to 200 μg/ml with pBluescript. The DNA solution was loaded to a needle made from a borosilicate glass capillary (Kwik-Fil™ (1B100F-4), World Precision Instruments, Inc., Sarasota, FL) using microloader tip (Eppendorf AG, Germany). The needle was made using Sutter micropippette Puller (P-2000, Sutter Instrument, Novato, CA). DNA solution was injected to 20-30 well-fed gravid hermaphrodites using Axio Observer.A1 inverted microscope (Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH, Germany) equipped with three-axis hanging joystick oil hydraulic micromanipulator (MMO-202ND, Narishige, Japan), and microINJECTOR™ (Tritech Research, Inc., Los Angeles, CA).

Crypt cells were incubated with 10 µM Zinpyr-1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 10 min at 37°C to stain secretory granules in Paneth cells and filtered with Cell Strainer Snap Cap with 35-µm nylon mesh (BD Falcon). Zinpyr-1+SSClow cells were sorted as Paneth cell–rich fraction using a cell sorter (JSAN; Bay Bioscience), and then Paneth cells identified as Zynpyr-1+ granular cells using a confocal microscope (A1; Nikon) were aspirated one by one using a 50-µm glass micropipette (1-GT50S-5; Nepa Gene) with micromanipulators (MN-4 and MMO-202ND; Narishige) and an electronic pipette (PicoPipet; Nepa Gene).

Microinjection of Enteroid Lumen

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Enteroids at day 3–4 of culture were transferred onto Cell Imaging Dish (eppendorf) at 100 enteroids/dish as same as the above-mentioned method. For S. Typhimurium ΔphoP injection, the culture medium without antibiotics was used. Microinjection was performed while scanning enteroid at 15 frame/sec by confocal microscopy on Stage Top Incubator. The tip of the needle (Femtotips II, eppendorf) was broke off and its inner diameter adjusted to 3–4 μm was used for microinjection. The needle was inserted into enteroid by using Coarse and fine Three-axis Oil Hydraulic Micromanipulator and One-axis Oil Hydraulic Micromanipulator (MN-4, MMO-202ND, MMO-220A, NARISHIGE), and fluorescein, PBS, 1–10 mg/mL LPS from S.Typhimurium and 1 × 1010 CFU/mL S. Typhimurium ΔphoP were introduced to enteroid lumen by using Pneumatic Microinjector (IM-11–2, NARISHIGE). Fluorescence intensity of enteroid lumen and medium was measured by NIS-Elements AR. After microinjection, percent area granule secretion was calculated for ten Paneth cells in five enteroids for each sample. The delay time of Paneth cell secretion by microinjection was measured as the elapsed time from the start of introducing reagents into the enteroid lumen until the first granule was secreted.

Pressure Measurement Experimental Setup

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A typical experiment setup is shown in Fig. 5. A pressure chamber (specific structure and dimensions are shown in Fig. 6) is connected to a syringe pump (NE-1000, New Era Pump Systems, Inc., 10 ml syringe, B-D Company) that increases or decreases the pressure inside the pressure chamber. A pressure transducer (PX409, Omega Engineering, Inc.) measures the gauge pressure inside the pressure chamber. The pipette pressure probe back-connected with the pressure chamber is installed on a micromanipulator (MMO-202ND, Narishige International USA, Inc.) attached to a microscope (Axiovert 200, Carl Zeiss, Inc.). The pipette probe is pre-loaded with mineral oil. The oil/medium interface in the probe is recorded with a camera (GRAS 20S4M, Point Grey, Inc.) for later image analysis to estimate the curvature of the interface.

Enteroid Luminal DON Exposure Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For basolateral DON exposure, DON (final conc. 1 µM; Sigma–Aldrich Co. LLC, St. Louis, MO, USA) was added to the enteroid culture medium. In contrast, luminal DON exposure was conducted through DON microinjection (28.3 µM in DPBS) into enteroids. Enteroid lumen microinjection and volume measurement of enteroid lumen and microinjection were done as previously described [20 (link)]. The final concentration was equivalent to 1 µM in microinjected enteroids (Table S1). Briefly, the tip of the needle (Femtotips II; Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany) was broken off and its inner diameter was adjusted to 3–4 µm. The 28.3-µM DON solution (final conc. 1 µM) was loaded into the needle using a microloader tip (Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany). Microinjection was performed using a microinjector (FemtoJet® 4i; Eppendorf AG) and manipulators (MM-92 and MMO-202ND; Narishige Scientific Instrument Lab, Tokyo, Japan) under a microscope (Olympus Co., Tokyo, Japan). Enteroid lumen was stained with 1 µM rhodamine123 (Rh123) for 3 h (Figure S1B,C) to measure its volume. Likewise, DPBS was microinjected into the enteroids to test the effects of microinjection itself (described as “PBS injection” in the figures). For the experiment to test dextran permeability, DPBS was microinjected into the enteroids in the basolateral DON exposure group before exposure in view of the effects of microinjection itself.

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.
