Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four healthy donors of human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) were purchased from Rooster Bio (MSC-003 lots: 00182, 310,271, 310,267 and 310,263) and used in the experiments with population doubling levels (PDL) between 13.2 and 15. The donors were derived from two females and two males, with ages ranging from 19 to 26 years. Cells were expanded in DMEM high glucose (D6429, Sigma) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (F4135, Sigma) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (P4333, Sigma) and maintained at 37℃ and 5% CO2 in a humidified incubator. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were purchased from Cell Applications, Inc. (690 PB-100a) and maintained in RPMI-1640 medium (R8758, Sigma) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (F4135, Sigma), 1% penicillin–streptomycin (P4333, Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% nonessential amino acids—NEAA (M7145, Sigma).

Human osteosarcoma U2OS cells, purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC; HTB96), were grown in DMEM (Corning; 10-013-CV) supplemented with 10% newborn calf serum (Hyclone; SH30118.03). Human cervical cancer HeLa cells were procured from ATCC (CCL-2) and grown in DMEM (Corning; 10-013-CV) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (F4135; Sigma). INF2 KO U2OS cells were generated in our laboratory using CRISPR/Cas9 and were reported previously (Chakrabarti et al., 2018 (link)). The GFP-Drp1 knock-in U2OS cell line made by CRISPR/Cas9 was described elsewhere (Ji et al., 2017 (link)). The cell line expresses GFP-Drp1 at 50% of the total Drp1 level, with the remaining Drp1 being unmodified (overall Drp1 level unchanged from control cells). All cell lines were cultivated at 37°C with 5% CO2.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microglia were isolated from neonatal (P5-P7) wild type mice for plating in Axion MEA plates, culture, and protein as previously described25 (link),71 . Mice were rapidly killed, brains were extracted, and meninges were removed prior to extracting forebrain. Tissue was mechanically dissociated in glass homogenizers and enrichment of live cells was achieved by centrifugation over 20% Percoll (17-0891-02, GE Healthcare). The microglia were selected by anti-CD11b-coated microbeads (130-093-636, Miltenyi) with the QuadroMACs separator following the manufacturer’s recommendations. Cells were manually counted with a hemocytometer using trypan exclusion staining. For co-culture with neurons in Axion MEA plates, 100,000 microglia were added per well. For HPLC, microglia were plated at 56,000/cm2 (link) in a 12-well plate with DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (F4135, Sigma) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (15140, Gibco). Microglia purity was determined by FACS and immunostaining, cultured cells were also used for immunoblotting.

Wild-type human osteosarcoma U2-OS (U2-OS-WT) and human cervical cancer HeLa cells were procured from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and grown in DMEM (Corning, 10-013-CV) supplemented with 10% newborn calf serum (Hyclone, SH30118.03) for U2-OS or 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich F4135) for HeLa, at 37°C with 5% CO2. NIH 3T3 fibroblasts (ATCC CRL-1658) and Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (MEFs) for CRISPR NPF KOs were grown in DMEM (4.5 g/L glucose, Invitrogen), 10% FCS (Sigma), 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 1% non-essential amino acids (Gibco) and 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco). For all other purposes, MEFs were grown in DMEM with 10% fetal bovine serum. Cell lines were tested every 3 months for mycoplasma contamination using Universal Mycoplasma detection kit (ATCC, 30-1012K) or MycoAlert Plus Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza, LT07-701). Cell lines were used no more than 30 passages.

Drosophila S2 cells (R69007, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were cultured in Schneider’s medium (SCH, S0146; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 10% insect-tested fetal bovine serum (F4135; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) at 26 °C. S2 cells (between passages 5 and 18) were pelleted at 200 g in a microfuge for 3 min, washed once in fresh Schneider’s medium, and diluted to 106 mL. 1 mL of cell suspension was plated per well in a 12-well plate containing coverslips. Cells were allowed to attach for 1.5 h before starting the treatment. Amino acid starvation was performed in Krebs Ringers bicarbonate buffer (KRB) comprising 0.7 mM NaH2PO4, 15 mM NaHCO3 (sodium bicarbonate, BIC), 120.7 mM NaCl, 4.53 mM KCl, 0.5 mM MgCl and 10 mM glucose at pH 7.4 as described previously [12 (link),13 (link)].

A total of 50 μL of nanoparticles solution were added to 1 mL of 0%, 20%, 40%, 80%, and 100% fetal bovine serum (FBS, F4135 Sigma-Aldrich). DLS was used to determine the size of the nanoparticles in the different solutions. The samples were measured in triplicates with 10 runs per sample, and the data were normalized to 0% FBS.

YUMM1.7 cells, originally derived from a BrafV600E/+;Pten−/−;Cdkn2a−/− mouse melanoma, and their more immunogenic derivative YUMMER1.7, were generously provided by Marcus Bosenberg17 (link),35 (link). Mouse B16F10 melanoma cells, YUMM3.3 melanoma cells (BrafV600E/+;Cdkn2a−/−) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were obtained from American Tissue Type Collection and cultured according to the supplier’s conditions. B16F10 cells transduced with a retroviral construct to express luciferase36 (link) and shRNA targeting murine Apoe (shRNA clone TRCN0000011799; B16F10-TR-shApoe) were described previously13 (link). MeWo melanoma cells were originally obtained from American Tissue Type Collection. The highly metastatic MeWo-LM2 subclone was described previously12 (link). B16F10 and MeWo-LM2 cells were cultured in DMEM medium with Pyruvate and Glutamine (11995, Gibco) supplemented with 10 % FBS (F4135, Sigma), Penicillin-Streptomycin (15140, Gibco), and Amphotericin B (17–936E, Lonza). YUMM1.7, YUMM3.3 and YUMMER1.7 cells were cultured in DMEM/F-12 medium with L-Glutamine and 15mM HEPES (11330, Gibco) supplemented with 10 % FBS, Penicillin-Streptomycin, Amphotericin B, and 1 % non-essential amino acids (111400, Gibco). Contamination with mycoplasma was ruled out by PCR testing according to standard protocols37 (link).

Cell Line Validation and Maintenance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All parental cell lines were from validated sources and procured through the Broad Institute’s Dependency Map Project Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia banks. SpCas9-expressing cell lines were obtained from the Broad Institute’s Genetic Perturbation Platform. All cell lines were originally obtained from authorized cell line banks including the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC), European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC), Korean Cell Line Bank (KCLB), Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen (DSMZ) and the Japanese Riken cell line bank. Cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 with L-glutamine and phenol red (Corning 10–040-CV) and 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich F4135) in addition to other supplements when indicated at 37°C and 5% CO2. Cell lines were initially thawed and expanded in their native, manufacturer recommended culture media supplemented with Penicillin-Streptomycin (Thermo-Fisher, 15140122). However, if the native media was not RPMI, cells were adapted and maintained in RPMI with 10% fetal bovine serum for all experiments after initial expansion. Cell lines were validated by STR profiling and tested for mycoplasma using the PCR-based Universal Mycoplasma Detection Kit (ATCC 30–1012K).

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.
