Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two milliliters of M9 media were dispensed into each of three wells in a six-well plate (Greiner, North Carolina) and inoculated with 100 μL of P. aeruginosa grown overnight in LB. After 8 or 16 h incubation at 30°C, supernatant was carefully collected from all wells. Planktonic cells were collected from 2 mL of media. Planktonic cells and biofilm-associated cells attached to the bottom of the plate were washed twice with PBS. Planktonic cells were resuspended in 0.5 mL PBS buffer and dispensed into a six-well plate. Biofilms and concentrated planktonic cells were imaged using a custom filter (445/45 excitation, 510/42 emission, 482 nm dichroic) using a Cytation5 multimode reader (Biotek, Vermont). All images were taken under identical conditions, and each experiment consisted of at least three biological replicates.

Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus sp. were cocultured overnight at 37°C in BHI and MRS broth respectively followed by dilution to a concentration equivalent to McFarland 0.5. A clean sterile cover slide was added to the wells of the six‐well plate (Greiner Bio‐One, KremsmÜnster, Austria). In each well, 250 μl of the Streptococcus mutans suspension and 250 μl of one of the Lactobacillus sp. suspension were added to 1.5 ml of BHI broth (supplemented with 0.2% sucrose) and incubated anaerobically at 37°C for 24 hrs.
A monospecies culture of Streptococcus mutans biofilm was similarly prepared except that we replaced the Lactobacillus sp. culture with uncultured MRS medium. Cover slides were gently washed with phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) once, fixed and prepared for SEM observation (JSM‐7600F, JEOL) according to a previously published protocol 30.

4 * 105 MIN6 cells in 3 mL DMEM were seeded into a six-well plate (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmünster, Austria). After attaching to the plate for 24 h, cells were exposed to 1.5 mM OA for 24 h. One milliliter of culture medium was collected and centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 min at 4°C. Supernatant was collected for further analysis. PBS-washed cells were lysed with 300 µL of NP-40 buffer (10% aqueous solution, Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) supplemented with 3% v/v protease inhibitor cocktail 100× (Halt, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 20 min at 4°C. After centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C, supernatant of cell lysate was collected. Insulin content of cell lysate and culture medium was measured by direct sandwich ELISA (DRG Diagnostics, Marburg, Germany). An aliquot of lysate samples was analyzed for total protein by Bradford protein assay (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) to normalize insulin results to total protein [31 (link)]. In total, 0.1–1 mg/mL BSA was used as standard.

Prior to use, six-well inserts containing Alvetex® Polaris polystyrene membranes (Reprocell Europe, United Kingdom) were treated using previously established protocols. Briefly, inserts were washed in 70% ethanol, before being rinsed in sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS) twice, and placed in a six-well plate (Greiner Bio-One, Stonehouse, United Kingdom) with the appropriate medium.
After formation, PSC derived EBs were transferred individually to the six-well inserts, with around 6–8 being placed on each insert in submerged culture. For H9 EBs, Alvetex® inserts were coated in Matrigel Growth Factor Reduced Basement Membrane Matrix prior to seeding to aid attachment. EBs were then cultured for a defined timescale, before washing in PBS and fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA, Fisher Scientific) overnight at 4°C.

Cells (2 ×106)
were seeded in 2 mL of medium in a six-well plate (Greiner) and treated
with the desired concentration of the compounds. Cells were incubated
at 37 °C for 72 h and then lysed in whole cell extract buffer
[20 mM HEPES (pH 7.9), 20% glycerol, 50 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT
(Sigma-Aldrich), 400 mM NaCl, 5 μg/mL leupeptin (Sigma-Aldrich),
5 mM β-glycerophosphate, 1 mM PMSF (Sigma-Aldrich), 5 μg/mL
aprotinine (Sigma-Aldrich), 10 mM NaF, and 5 mM Na3VO4]. Protein concentrations were determined by the Bradford
protein assay. Thirty micrograms of cell lysates per treatment was
fractionated on sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gels
and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Cytiva). Then, 5% BSA
in TBS-T was used for blocking, and antibodies (ac-SMC3, HDAC8) were
diluted in TBS-T. Equal loading was confirmed by probing the same
membranes with a specific antibody for human ACTIN (1:1000, sc-47778).

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.
