Cells from each cell line were plated on a cover glass-bottomed culture well at a density of 1 × 105 cells and incubated at 37 °C under 5% CO2 for 2 days. The cells were washed using Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS, Wako) twice, and 1 μM SPiDER-βGal in HBSS was added to the cells and incubated for 15 min. Fluorescence images were captured using a fluorescence microscope (BZ-X810, KEYENCE, Japan).

NHEKs or HaCaT cells were seeded in a 6- or 12-well plate at a density of 3 × 105 or 1.5 × 105 cells/well and incubated for 48 h. Cells were then washed twice with DPBS and treated with fresh medium containing DMSO (0.1%), BAI (10 μM for NHEKs and 25 μM for HaCaT cells), BaP (1 μM) or a combination of BaP and BAI. Twelve hours later, cells were washed twice with Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS; Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemicals Corporation, Osaka, Japan) and stained with 25 μM H2DCFDA (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in HBSS for 30 min at 37 °C in the dark. After washing with DPBS, cells were harvested and used for flow cytometry. Mean fluorescent intensity (MFI) of DCF dye was analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star, Inc., San Carlos, CA, USA). Propidium iodide (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to eliminate dead cells from the analysis.

Neuro-2A cells were cultured in DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Thermo Fisher Scientific) at 37 °C under 5% CO₂. Cerebellar granule cells were extracted from 7-day-old ICR mice (Japan SLC, Inc., Shizuoka, Japan) in accordance with the Animal Care and Use Committee of Jichi Medical University and the ARRIVE guidelines, as described previously [15 (link)]. Briefly, mice were anesthetized with vaporized 30% isoflurane and then decapitated, and the cerebella were excised and treated with trypsin-EDTA (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bothell, WA) for 7 min at room temperature. Dissociated cells were rinsed with HBSS (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan) three times and then plated into 4-compartment glass-bottom culture dishes (Greiner Bio-one, Kremsmünster, Austria) at a concentration of 4 × 10⁴/ml cells per well.

Pancreatic tissues were carefully removed and immediately resuspended in 3 ml of Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS; Wako, Osaka) on ice. The tissues were cut into small pieces and digested in HBSS containing 2.5 mg/ml collagenase P and 0.1 mg/ml DNase I for 30 min at 37 °C. After incubation, the cells were washed with cold sterile phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and collected by centrifugation at 1500 r.p.m. for 10 min. The cell pellets were resuspended in a cold HBSS medium, filtered through a 100-µm strainer (BD Falcon, no. 352360), and further collected by centrifugation at 1500 r.p.m. for 10 min. The cells were counted with a hemocytometer, and a Countess II FL automated cell counter (Invitrogen) was used. For edema analysis, whole pancreas samples were weighed and dried at 95 °C for 48 h. Edema was calculated following desiccation and is expressed as a ratio of the wet weight (wet weight  − dry weight/wet weight × 100).

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.
