Polyacrylamide hydrogels were produced as previously described52 (link). Briefly, acrylamide solution (Bio-Rad) was mixed with N-N'- methylene-bis-acrylamide solutions (BioRad). A glutaraldehyde-activated glass surface and hydrophobic coverslip was then used for polymerization. Polymerized substrates were then activated for protein conjugation with the heterobifunctional crosslinker Sulfo-SANPAH at 0.5 mg/mL (Pierce Chemical Co.) under UV exposure for 15 min. The substances were then washed with HEPES buffer, and then functionalized with fibronectin. Using atomic force microscopy, gels were determined to have elastic moduli of ~120 kPa. Functionalized gels were washed with PBS, and ES2 shSCRM or shDDR2 were plated. Live cells were imaged on a Nikon Ti-E microscope with a temperature and humidity controlled incubation chamber (LiveCell). Data were collected by 3×3 tiling of 10× regions of view. Time-lapse imaging was performed with 20-minute frame intervals for a 6 hour duration. Image analysis was performed using Matlab (The Mathworks, Natick MA) and Image J. Cell area was computed for each cell in each field of view using custom software to detect cell boundaries. 3 independent experiments conducted, and pooled results quantified (n>200 for each condition). Data was plotted using R graphing library36 .

The PA-gels were synthesized and pretreated using methods reported elsewhere [46 (link)]. In brief, 40% acrylamide solution (Bio-Rad), 2% bis-acrylamide solution (Bio-Rad), and water were mixed in the ratio of 179:15:6 (0.6 kPa). Then, 1% v/v ammonium persulfate (APS, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 0.1% v/v methylethylenediamine (TEMED, Thermo Fisher Scientific) were added into the mixture. An adequate amount of the mixed solution was added onto the chloro-silanated glass surface and then covered by amino-silanated coverslips. After solidification, the PA gels stuck to the coverslip were detached from the glass together for later use. Before assays, the PA gel was coated with 200 μg/mL collagen type I (Thermo Fisher Scientific) via the crosslinker sulfosuccinimidyl 6-(4′-azido-2′-nitrophenylamino) hexanoate (sulfo-SANPAH; Thermo Fisher Scientific).

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.
