Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Retinal explants were prepared from 4-wk-old rho−/− and rho−/−sarm1−/− mice and 6 wk-old C57BL/6J and sarm1−/− mice. Eyes were enucleated and the cornea and lens were carefully removed. Retinas were carefully separated from the RPE/choroid, and four small incisions were made to flatten out the retina. The retinas were placed photoreceptor-side down on a cell culture insert (Millipore) placed inside a 35-mm dish with 1.2 ml of advanced DMEM-F12 (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Retinal explants from rho−/− and rho−/−sarm1−/− mice were cultured for 4 h, and explants from C57BL/6J and sarm1−/− mice were cultured for 24 h treated with CCCP (50 μM) or DMSO vehicle before FLIM analysis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All murine studies were conducted under an MSK IACUC approved protocol. Patient-derived xenograft models were generated as previously described9 (link). Briefly, tumor tissues were minced to small pieces and digested in dissociation buffer containing 225U/ml Collagenase type III at 37°C for 3 hours. Samples were then washed with advanced DMEM/F12 (Life Technologies), treated with Red Blood Cell Lysis Buffer (Sigma) for 2 minutes, washed again, filtered through 70μm cell strainers, and cultured in F10 medium (advanced DMEM/F12 with 10% FBS, 1X L-glutamine, 1X sodium pyruvate, 1X non-essential amino acids and 1X penicilin/streptomycin). 2 million cells resuspended in PBS: matrigel (1:1) were injected into the flank of the mice subcutaneously. 2 flank tumors were placed per mouse. In vivo treatment was started when tumor volumes reached 100–150 mm3. Mice were then randomly assigned into vehicle and treatment groups (5 mice, 9–10 tumors in each arm) and were treated with either rapamycin (7.5 mg/kg) or vehicle (0.25% PEG-400, 0.25% Tween-80) every other day by intraperitoneal injection as previously reported10 (link). Following guidelines set forth by the IACUC, mice were sacrificed when the tumor length reached 2 cm. Tumor volume was measured using calipers (calculated as 0.5 × L × W2), and growth curves were generated using GraphPad Prism software.

Intestinal Crypt Isolation and Organoid Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse intestinal crypts isolation and organoid culture were performed as previously described36 (link). Briefly, mouse intestine was cut longitudinally and washed three times with cold PBS. Villi were carefully scraped away and small pieces (5 mm) of intestine were incubated in 0.5 M EDTA in PBS for 40 min on ice. These pieces were then vigorously suspended in cold PBS and the mixture was passed through 70 μm cell strainer (BD Biosciences). The crypt fraction was enriched through centrifugation (3 min at 300–400 g). Then the crypts were embedded in Matrigel (BD Biosciences) and seeded on 48-well or 24-well plates. The intestinal organoid culture medium consists of Advanced DMEM/F12 supplemented with Penicillin/Streptomycin, GlutaMAX-I, N2, B27 and N-acetylcysteine (Sigma-Aldrich) and combination of growth factors including EGF (50 ng/mL, Invitrogen), Noggin (100 ng/mL, R&D) and R-spondin1 (500 ng/mL). The organoids were treated with proper dilution of peptides in the medium.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neuronal induction of iPSCs was performed using a previously described method (Sato et al., 2021 (link)), with slight modifications. Briefly, iPSCs were seeded on iMatrix511-coated 12-well plates at a density of 1.0–1.5 × 105 cells/well in StemFit AK02 N medium. After 3 d, neural induction was initiated by changing the medium to neural induction medium [consisting of Advanced DMEM/F-12 (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 2% B27 supplement (–vitamin A; Thermo Fisher Scientific)] with 150 nm LDN193189 (StemRD), 5 μm SB431542 (Tocris), and 3 μm IWR1e (Calbiochem). On day 6, the cells were dissociated into single cells using Accutase (Nacalai) and seeded onto poly-L-ornithine-coated and laminin-coated 12-well plates at a 1:1–1:2 ratio. On day 12, the cells were dissociated again, and 8 × 105 cells seeded in each well of poly-L-ornithine-coated and laminin-coated six-well plates and cultured in neuronal medium [Advanced DMEM/F-12, 2% B27 supplement, 200 μm ascorbic acid (Sigma), and 200 μm dbcAMP (Sigma)] with 20 μm DAPT (Sigma).

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.
