Heterologous Expression of PoXeR in ND7/23 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A human codon-adapted PoXeR gene was synthesized by Gen Script (Piscataway, NJ, USA) and cloned into pEGFP vector between HindIII and BamHI sites. ND7/23 cells were purchased from DS Pharma Biomedical (Osaka, Japan) and cultured in high-glucose DMEM media (Wako) in a 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator. Transfection of ND7/23 cells was performed by Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Cells were supplemented with 1 μM all-trans-retinal (Sigma-Aldrich) after transfection. Expression was confirmed by a fluorescence microscope (IX-73, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Cloning and Expression of GtCCR4-eGFP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The GtCCR4 gene was cloned into peGFP vector between HindIII and BamHI sites in such a way that the eGFP is tagged at the C-terminus of GtCCR4. ND7/23 cells were purchased from DS Pharma Biomedical (Osaka, Japan) and cultured in high-glucose DMEM media (Wako, Osaka, Japan) in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator. Transfection of ND7/23 cells was performed by Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, CA, USA). Cells were supplemented with 1 μM all-trans-retinal (Sigma-Aldrich) after transfection. Expression of GtCCR4 was confirmed by eGFP fluorescence for a whole-cell patch clamp recording.

Electrophysiological Assays of Sensory Receptors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The electrophysiological assays of SzRs were performed using ND7/23 cells, that is, hybrid cell lines derived from neonatal rat dorsal root ganglia neurons fused with mouse neuroblastoma (42 (link)). ND7/23 cells were purchased from DS Pharma Biomedical Co. Ltd. (Osaka, Japan) and cultured in high-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) (Wako, Osaka, Japan) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum at 37°C and incubated in 5% CO2. For the electrophysiological recordings, the expression plasmids were transiently transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For cytochemistry, the expression plasmids were transiently transfected using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cells were supplemented with 1 μM all-trans retinal (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for the electrophysiological recordings or 2.5 μM all-trans retinal for the cytochemical assay after transfection. Electrophysiological recordings and cytochemical assay were then conducted 24 to 36 hours after the transfection. Successfully transfected cells were identified by eYFP fluorescence under a microscope.

Optogenetic Activation of GtCCR4 in ND7/23 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The gene from fosmid KIN48C12 was subcloned in peGFP-N1 vector between 1,395 bp and 1,412 bp by In-Fusion HD cloning kit (Takara) to fuse GFP at the N terminus of 48C12. The plasmid carrying a cation channelrhodopsin, GtCCR4, has previously been described50 (link). ND7/23 cells from DS Pharma Biomedical were cultured in high-glucose DMEM medium (Wako) in an incubator at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Transfection of ND7/23 cells, which are a hybrid of mouse neuroblastoma and rat neuron (the cell line is commercially available from Merck or DS Pharma Biomedical), was performed by Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). Cells were supplemented with 1 μM all-trans retinal (Sigma Aldrich). After transfection (16–24 h), electrophysiological study was performed.

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.
