Mice were injected intraperitoneally with 100 mg/kg of ethynyldeoxyuridine (EdU) to label proliferating cells. Animals were deeply anesthetized using isoflurane and perfused with PBS containing heparin followed by tissue fixation using 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), as described previously.65 The tissue was harvested and subjected to immunolabeling using a previously published staining protocol that avoided methanol treatment steps.66 Antibodies to smooth muscle actin (SMA) and keratin‐8 (KRT8) were used. EdU+ TEBs were identified by AF647 labeling using the Click‐IT Plus kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Glands were cleared using the FluoClearBABB method,67 and high‐resolution 3‐dimensional images acquired using a Leica SP8 microscope equipped with a white light laser and Leica BABB immersion lenses (HCX PL FLUOTAR 5×/0.15 IMM lens for low‐resolution and HCX APO L 20×/0.95 IMM lens for high resolution images).

Tanycytes were isolated from 10 days old rat as previously described69 (link) and cultured in DMEM/F12 (31966, Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% (v/v) donor calf serum (Invitrogen), 1% (v/v) L-glutamine (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 2% penicillin/streptomycin. The tanycytes were plated on inserts (Grenier bio-one 665641) at a density of 442 cells/mm2 and were transduced the same day with the PKCαWT (MOI 10) and PKCαD463H (MOI 20) lentiviruses in the presence of 1 μg/ml of polybrene. The following day the medium was changed. Two days post transduction EdU (1.6 μg/ml) was added to the medium; 12 h later (day 3 post transduction) the cells were fixed and processed for immunostaining as described for astrocytes. EdU staining was chemically revealed with the Click-iT plus kit (C10640, Thermo Fisher Scientific).

For clonogenic experiments, 1000–2000 cells (depending on plating efficiency) were seeded in six-well plates. For UV sensitivity, cells were treated 24 h after seeding. For cisplatin and olaparib treatment, cells were seeded in indicated drug concentrations for 24 and 72 h, respectively, followed by media change. Two weeks later, colonies were stained with Crystal violet. For time-course proliferation experiments, 500 cells were seeded in wells of 96-well plates, and cellular viability was scored at indicated days using the CellTiterGlo reagent (Promega G7572). EdU incorporation was assayed using the Click-iT Plus kit (Invitrogen C10633) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, using a BD FACSCanto II flow cytometer, and analyzed using the FACSDiva 8.0.1 software.
For the SupF assay36 (link), cells were transfected with UVC-irradiated (1000 J/m2) pSP189 (SupF) plasmid. Three days later, the plasmid was recovered using a miniprep kit (Promega), DpnI digested and transformed into MBM7070 indicator bacteria. Transformants were selected on plates containing 1 mM IPTG and 100 μg/ml X-gal. The ratio of white (mutant) to total (blue + white) colonies was scored as mutation frequency.

EpCAM CAR-modified or untransduced control thy1.1 + T cells (5 × 106) were 1:1 mixed with thy1.2+ untransduced control T cells (5 × 106), after which mixed T cells were intravenously injected into thy1.1+ thy1.2+ B6 mice. Three days later, peripheral blood was subjected to flow cytometry analysis to evaluate proportions of transferred T cells.
EGFRvIII-specific CAR-T cells containing the same intracellular signaling domains as EpCAM CAR-T were used as a control. 1 × 107 thy1.2+ derived EGFRvIII CAR-T cells or EpCAM CAR-T cells were transferred into thy1.1+ B6 mice separately. Mice were euthanized on day 3 post T cell infusion, and spleen, colon, and lung were dissected, minced, and digested to obtain a single-cell suspension. All samples were incubated in ACK lysis buffer on ice for 30 sec. Numbers of transferred and recipient T cells in each mouse were analyzed by flow cytometry. To measure in vivo proliferation, 12 h before flow analysis, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 20 mg/kg 5-ethynyl-2´-deoxyuridine (EdU) (Cayman Chemical). Transferred CAR-T cell proliferation (indicated by EdU staining) was analyzed using a Click-iT Plus kit (Invitrogen™) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
