For CD38 deletion in B7-H3.CAR-T cells, 1×106 T cells were transfected with Cas9/RNPs complexes of CD38 targeting guide RNA 5’-AGUGUAUGGGAUGCUUUCAA −3’ (Synthego) using Lonza 4D-Nucleofector X Unit (Lonza, AAF-1003X). Transfection was carried out in P3 Primary Cell 4D-Nucleofector Solution (Lonza, V4XP-3032) and program E0–115 was used. Immediately after transfection, pre-warmed, incubator equilibrated ImmunoCult media + IL-2 (50 ng/mL) was added to the T cells, followed by culturing for 3 days. CD38 Deletion efficiency was tested 3–6 days post transfection using flow cytometry. Other guides were tested that yielded lower editing efficiency (Supplementary Data Fig. 4b, Supplementary Table 13.

The iPSC line iPSC-UkB-Ctrl-XX was generated from PBMCs via expansion to a cellular intermediate of EPCs, using Stem Span SFEM II (Stem Cell Technologies) and addition of Erythropoietin (R&D Systems), Stem Cell Factor (PeproTech), Interleukin-3 (PeproTech), Insulin Growth Factor-1 (PeproTech), and dexamethasone (Sigma-Aldrich). Following expansion, EPCs were electroporated with Epi5 Reprogramming (Thermo Fisher Scientific) Lonza 4D-Nucleofector X-Unit (Lonza). Cells were plated on Corning ESC-grade Matrigel (Corning) in ReproTeSR (Stem Cell Technologies) before changing to mTeSR 1 (Stem Cell Technologies) when colonies first appeared. Following iPSC clones were picked and expanded before characterization. iPSC-UkB-Ctrl-XX line is cultured on Corning ESC-grade Matrigel and in mTeSR 1. Cells are passaged when colonies are too large using 0.5 mM EDTA in PBS and cultured in a humidified incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2.

Cells were trypsinized and collected, 1e6 cells were resuspended in SF cell line NucleofectorTM solution with 3 μg plasmid DNA. Cells were transferred into 100 μl NucleocuvetteTM Vessel and NCI-H1299 [H1299] cell specific protocol were utilized according to the manufacturer’s protocol (4D-NucleofectorTM X Unit, Lonza). After the pulse application, 100 μL prewarmed D10 medium was added to the electroporated cells in the cuvette. Cells were gently resuspended in the cuvette and transferred into 6 well plate, cultured in incubator. Cells were collected at 24 or 48 hours later for flowcytometry assay and RNA extraction.

KP1 Cd47 KO and control cells were previously described20 (link). The single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) for CD47, Csf1 and Ccl2 were purchased from Synthego. We added 12 µl of SE buffer (Lonza, V4XC-1032) to each well of a 96-well v-bottom plate. Then 3 µl of sgRNA (300 pmol) was added to the SE buffer. An aliquot of 0.5 µl of Alt-R S.p. Cas9 (Integrated DNA Technologies, 1081059) was added to 10 µl of SE buffer. Next, Cas9 was added to the sgRNA solution, mixed thoroughly and incubated at 37 °C for 15 min to form the ribonucleoproteins. NJH29 cells or KP1 cells were pelleted, counted and resuspended to 106 cells per reaction in 5 µl of SE buffer. Cells and the ribonucleoprotein solution were added to each nucleofection well chamber. Cells were immediately nucleofected using the Lonza 4D-NucleofectorTM X Unit (Lonza, AAF-1002X) with the EN150 program. After nucleofection, warm RPMI medium was added to the cells. The cells were incubated at 37 °C for 15 min and then transferred to a 24-well plate with 1 ml RPMI medium. Editing efficiency was evaluated 4 d later by FACS or RT–qPCR.

SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cell lines stably overexpressing wild-type (WT) or G2019S-LRRK2 were cultured as previously described (herein referred to as WT-LRRK2 and G2019S-LRRK2 cells)33 (link) and were derived as monoclonal cells from a parental culture65 (link). The LRRK2 kinase inhibitor PF-06447475 (herein, PF-475)40 (link) was dissolved in DMSO and applied to cultured cells for 2 h or 6 h, with 0.1% DMSO as vehicle control.
Chloroquine (CQ; 100 µM, 3 h) was used to block to the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes and to evaluate the autophagic flux47 (link).
The GFP-LC3-mCherry reporter construct was transfected using FuGene HD (Promega) to analyse the number of autolysosomes. Rab10-RFP constructs were nucleofected using the 4D-NucleofectorTM X unit (Lonza).

To transfect the cells with Mfn2 pDNA, HeLa cells were trypsinized and counted as described in the cell culture part. The nucleofection solution (SE Cell Line 4D-NucleofectorTM X Kit S, Lonza, Belgium) was prepared as the manufacturer indicates. 200000 cells were suspended in 20 μL nucleofection solution to which 0.6 μg Mfn2 pDNA was added. The mixture was then transferred into one well of the NucleocuvetteTM strip. The strip with closed lid was placed into the retainer of the 4D Nucleofector TM X unit (Lonza, Belgium). Nucleofection was performed with a program of “HeLa” recommended by the manufacturer for the transfection of HeLa cells. After nucleofection, the strip was removed from the retainer. 80 μL pre-warmed CCM was added into the well in the strip and mixed with the cell suspension. Cells were then transferred and cultured in the μ-slide or μ-dish (for next step of photoporation) for 24 h.

Electroporation was performed in 4D-NucleofectorTM X Unit (Lonza # AAF-1002X) device using Lonza NucleocuvetteTM and Ingenio® Electroporation solution. The optimal program was used after finalizing assay conditions and analysing the resultant data sets by flow cytometry (Figure S1). Optimization was based around using the Cell line Optimization 4D- NucleofectorTM X Kit (Lonza # V4XC-9064) according to manufacturer protocol to find the optimal solution + pulse condition. Mirus Ingenio electroporation solution with different pulse code was also tested and used. For optimization, cells were spun down (150xg, 10 minutes) and supernatants removed. Cells were resuspended in either Cell Line solution from Lonza with supplements or Ingenio electroporation solution. pmaxGFP from Lonza was added to the cells at an equivalent ratio and cells were electroporated using different pulse codes. Cells were then incubated at RT for 10 minutes, then supplemented with preincubated RPMI media and maintained at 37 °C in 5% CO2 incubator. 48 hours post electroporation, cells were analysed by flow cytometry and the results were calculated as % GFP-positive of gated singlet cells.

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.
