Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Kinetic measurements of transient intracellular calcium mobilization in NPCs were performed in poly-L-ornithine/laminin (Sigma–Aldrich) coated black 96-well clear-bottom plates (Greiner Bio-One). Cells were seeded at a density of 3.0 × 105 cells per ml and incubated for 24 h. The following day, the medium was removed and cells were loaded with 4 µM Fluo-8 (AAT Bioquest) as the indicator dye, reconstituted in a modified Tyrode’s assay buffer (10 mM 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), 135 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 2.5 mM CaCl2, and 10 mM glucose adjusted to pH = 7.4.) and incubated for 30 min at 37 °C and 5% CO2, and another 30 min at room temperature in the dark [27 (link),28 (link)]. Then, the Fluo-8 loading buffer was removed and replaced with fresh Tyrode’s assay buffer. The agonists, diluted in Tyrode’s assay buffer, were added automatically using the injector unit from Tecan Infinite M1000 Pro microplate reader Tecan (Maennedorf, Switzerland). After 16 s of baseline measurements, the compound was added, and fluorescence was measured for 80 s using excitation at λ = 490 nm and emission at λ = 525 nm. Responses were measured as the maximal peak height in relative fluorescent units (RFUs), and the maximum fluorescence signal was generated with the calcium ionophore A23187 (Sigma–Aldrich).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hCHCHD2-Arg145Gln homozygous KI hiPSC and its isogenic control were derived from human fibroblast line and differentiated into neural precursor cells/NPCs and then mature dopaminergic neurons (iXCells Biotechnologist). Presence of hCHCHD2-Arg145Gln was verified through sequencing using the following CHCHD2 primers: Forward 5’-AATGTTTTCACTTCCCATGTTAATAGTTG-3’ and Reverse 5’-AATGACTAGAAACCTCCGGCCC-3’. Culturing of the NPCs and the dopaminergic neurons was done according to manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, cells were seeded onto Poly-L-Ornithine /Laminin (Sigma) coated plate containing Human NSC growth medium or DA maturation medium (iXCells Biotechnologist) with 10uM Y-27632 (Miltenyi Biotec). The NPCs were grown to ~ 80% confluency (at 37 °C, 5% CO2) and cells from early passages were used. The dopaminergic neurons were incubated in the DA maturation medium for 48 h and then incubated with 1 µM of p32-I. Both cultures were grown in the presence of p32-I for 3 days, washed with 1 × PBS and dissociated using Accutase (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

The 661W photoreceptor cell line was provided by M. Al-Ubaidi (Department of Biomedical Engineering, University of Houston). These cells were routinely cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic (Gibco, 15240-062) with hydrocortisone 21-hemisuccinate (40 ng/ml; Sigma, H-2270), progesterone (40 ng/ml; Sigma, P-8783), putrescine (0.032 mg/ml; Sigma, P-7505), and 0.004% (v/v) β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma, M-6250) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. We used the conditioned medium (medium cultured with 661W cells for 6 hours) to culture cells on BME (Sigma)–coated NN-Chips. We cultured the iCell neurons (Cellular Dynamics International Inc.) onto the poly-l-ornithine/laminin (Sigma) surface-coated NN-Chip in the complete iCell neuron maintenance medium also at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2.

IMR90 NPCs were seeded at a density of 1 × 106 cells per ml in poly-L-ornithine/laminin (Sigma–Aldrich) coated six-well plates and allowed to attach overnight. The following day, cells were treated with 1 µM ketamine or vehicle for 24 h. For all samples, total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Mini kit from Qiagen, including an on-column DNAase treatment (15 min at room temperature, Qiagen) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The RNA concentration was determined using the NanoQuant Plate™ (Tecan, Salzburg, Austria). All library preparations were sequenced on an Illumina Hiseq platform with a paired-end read length of 125 bp/150 bp. The library construction and sequencing were performed by Novogene (HK) Company Limited (Wan Chai, Hong Kong).

Fetal brain cells (FBCs) are ReNcells derived form the ventral mesencephalon of human fetal brain (Millipore SCC008). Cells were grown on poly-L-ornithine/laminin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA; P3655-50MG and l2020) coated six-well plates. Cells were maintained in 70% DMEM, 2% B27, 1% Pen/Strep (Life Technologies, Foster City, CA, USA) 30% Ham's F12 (Mediatech, Herndon, VA, USA) and 20 ng ml−1 bFGF (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA, 233-FB-025), 20 ng ml−1 EGF (Sigma E9644) and 5 μg ml−1 heparin (Sigma). Differentiation is triggered by removing growth factors from media and letting cells grow for 30 days, with media changes every 3 days; proliferating cells are those maintained in bFGF and EGF.

Cells were plated on poly-l-ornithine/laminin (both Sigma) coated tissue culture plates and cultivated in a stock media (DMEMF12 Glutamax (Gibco) supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco), 1:100 N2 supplement (Gibco), 0.8 g D-glucose) with alternating concentrations of growth factors. On day one, cells were plated in stock media supplemented with 10 ng/ml EGF (Gibco) and 10 ng/ml FGF (Gibco). On the second day media was changed by stock media containing 40 ng/ml EGF and 40 ng/ml FGF. For further cultivation of MJD1 lt-NES cells, media was changed every day with alternating concentrations of growth factors (low: 10 ng/ml and high: 40 ng/ml). Accutase (Sigma) was diluted 1:3 with PBS and used for cell detachment (10 min room temperature). Treatments were performed in media with low growth factor concentration.

The supernatant was discarded, and the slide was treated with reduction solution (20 drops Reagent C, 8 drops each of Reagents D, E, and F in 50 mL ultrapure water) for 2 min. Cells were washed twice with ultrapure water and subsequently incubated with 10 drops of Reagent G for 3 min. Before dehydrating the slide with ascending concentration of ethanol and treating twice with Xylene (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA), it was washed two times with ultrapure water. Finally, the slide was embedded in Entellan Neu (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) following incubation for 30 min at room temperature to dry.

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.
