N2A Neuronal cells (ATCC CCL-131, ATCC, Manassas) were grown in 96 Well-plates and pre-activated with mIFN-γ (100 ng/ml, R&D Systems) for 24 h. Thereafter, medium was replaced after extensive washes with PBS with astrocyte-conditioned media.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro-2a (N2a) (ATCC® CCL-131™) was purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). These N2a cells were maintained on Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) (ATCC® 30–2003™) supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 U/mL Penicillin, 100 µg/mL Streptomycin (Gibco, NY, USA) and incubated in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C.
Cells were plated on a 6 well plate with a seeding density of 0.3×106 cells/well and were grown till the cells reached almost 70% confluency. Then, the N2a cells were serum-starved for 18 h using EMEM supplemented with 1% FBS. Following serum starvation, the cells were then exposed with mouse recombinant S100B (Sino-Biological, Chesterbrook, PA, USA) or with supernatant collected from astrocyte cells, treated with Lcn2 and MC-LR. For inhibition experiments for RAGE receptor, cells were exposed with 230 nM FPS-ZM1 (Sigma-Millipore, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 3 h prior to treatment.

Mouse BV-2 cells (43 (link)) were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (R7509, Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 2.4 mM L-glutamine (17-605E; Gibco), 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (10270-106; Gibco), and 1.2% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin (15140-122; Gibco). BV-2 cells were scraped off gently from cell culture plates (168381; Thermo Scientific) and collected by centrifugation at room temperature (RT) for 3 min at 800 × g. Cell pellets were resuspended in cell culture medium and plated for maintenance or experiments on cell culture plates or poly-l-lysine (P6282; Sigma-Aldrich) coated glass coverslips. Mouse Neuro-2a (N2a) neuroblastoma cells (ATCC CCL-131; ATCC) were maintained in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (BE12-614F; Lonza) containing 2.4 mM L-glutamine, 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, and 1.2% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin. N2a cells were washed once with warm Dulbecco's phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS, 17-512F; Lonza) and incubated in 0.25% trypsin solution (in DPBS, 15090-046; Gibco) for 3–5 min at +37°C. Next, the cell suspension was diluted in the culture medium and centrifuged for 3 min at 800 × g. The supernatant was discarded, and the cells were resuspended in the culture medium and plated for experiments on poly-d-lysine (P6407, Sigma-Aldrich) coated coverslips or on cell culture plates for maintenance.

Neuro-2a Cell Response to Microglia-Conditioned Media

Mouse neuroblastoma cell line Neuro-2a (N2a) (ATCC® CCL-131™) was obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). These N2a cells were maintained on Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) (ATCC® 30-2003™) supplemented with 10% FBS, 100 U/mL Penicillin, 100 µg/mL Streptomycin (Gibco, NY, USA) and incubated in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C.
Cells were plated on a 6 well plate with a seeding density of 0.3 × 106 cells/well and were grown till the cells reached almost 70% confluency. Then, the N2a cells were serum-starved for 18 h using EMEM supplemented with 1% FBS. Following serum starvation, the cells were treated with a combination of MCM obtained from each SIM-A9 microglia experimental group and normal N2a growth medium for 24 h. The groups designed for this experiment were unchanged from the last SIM-A9 cells experiment (CONTROL, IL-6, AG50, and IL-6+AG50). Post-treatment, cell supernatants were collected, stored at −80 °C, and proteins from each group were extracted using 1× RIPA lysis buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors. The concentration of the extracted protein samples from each group was estimated using the BCA assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA), and the Western Blot experiment was performed using these extracted protein samples.

siProfilin2-399 (5′-CAU​CAC​GCC​AGU​AGA​AAU​ATT-3′), siProfilin2-527 (5′-CAA​UGG​ACA​UCC​GGA​CAA​ATT), siNCAM (5′-GUU​GGA​GAG​UCC​AAA​UUC​UTT-3′), and NC (5′-UUC​UCC​GAA​CGU​GUC​ACG​UTT-3′) were synthesized by GenePharma. shProfilin2 was constructed by GeneChem by inserting the same target sequence as siProfilin2-399 into the GV102 vector. To confirm siProfilin2 efficacy, Neuro-2a cells (ATCC CCL-131; American Type Culture Collection) were transfected with siRNA/shRNA using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent according to the manufacturer’s instructions (11668030; Invitrogen). MEFs (ATCC SCRC-1008; American Type Culture Collection) were transfected with siRNA using Lipofectamine 2000. The profilin2/NCAM knockdown efficacy was verified by Western blot analysis of cell lysates. Cultured NPCs were transfected with 20 pmol of RNA per cuvette using the Amaxa Nucleofector system (VPG-1004; Lonza) according to the user’s manual.

Neuro-2a cells (ATCC® CCL-131™) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
Cells were maintained in Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM) (ATCC) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin antibiotic (Thermo-Fisher Scientific). Luciferaseexpressing Neuro-2a cells were generated by the transduction of cells with luciferase expression vector. The lentiviral vector pLenti CMV Puro LUC encoding firefly luciferase was transfected with Virapower Lentiviral packing mix to 293T cells (ATCC® CRL-3216™) using lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). After 48 h, lentiviral supernatant was collected and added into 20-40% confluent Neuro-2a cells. Polybrene (8 μg/mL) was added during the transduction. Two days after the transduction, Neuro-2a cells were selected by puromycin (2 μg/mL) and were maintained in EMEM media containing 10% FBS and 1 μg/mL puromycin. All cells were incubated at 37 ºC in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO 2 in a cell culture incubator.

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.
