Differentiation of SK-N-SH cells into neuronal cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human SK-N-SH cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC #HTB-11). Cells were cultured in polystyrene tissue culture flasks (Corning) as a monolayer in Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM; ATCC). This medium was supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin-neomycin (Sigma). As this cell line is a mixture of different cells, retinoic acid (RA; Sigma) was used for differentiating SK-N-SH cells [23 (link)] into more neuronal cells [24 (link)]. Approximately 30,000 cells (per well in 6-well plates) were cutured in supplemented EMEM media for two days, followed by RA (10μM) treatment for two weeks and media was replaced every 3–4 days [23 (link), 25 (link)]. Using light microscopy, differentiated neuronal cultures were validated with the presence of neuronal cell markers (NeuN, PSD95 and NCAM) during the differentiation process [23 (link), 26 (link)] (Refer supplementary information).

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (IPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) (Ax0015; Axol, Cambridge, United Kingdom) were cultured in neural maintenance basal medium with supplements (Ax0031; Axol) according to the manufacturer’s specification. Human IPSC-derived NPCs were grown on plates coated with 20 µg/ml laminin (L2020; Sigma-Aldrich). Human neuroblastoma SK-N-SH and human glioblastoma U87-MG cells were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and grown in Eagle’s minimum essential medium (EMEM) with Earle’s balanced salt solution (EBSS [Lonza, Breda, The Netherlands) containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (HI-FBS [Lonza]), 100 U penicillin (Gibco Life Sciences, USA), 100 µg/ml streptomycin (Gibco), 2 mM l-glutamine (Lonza), 1% nonessential amino acids (Lonza), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco), and 1.5 mg/ml sodium bicarbonate (Lonza). Both immortalized cell lines SK-N-SH and U87-MG were used below passage 25. Vero cells (ATCC, USA) were grown in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM) containing 10% HI-FBS, 100 µg/ml streptomycin, 100 U penicillin, 2 mM l-glutamine, 1% sodium bicarbonate, and 1% HEPES buffer (all from Gibco). Human NPCs are primary cells, while the other cells are from immortalized cell lines. All cells used in this study tested negative for Mycoplasma sp.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human neuroblastoma cells of SK-N-SH and SK-N-BE were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). Cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM; Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco) and 1 × penicillin & streptomycin (Gibco, the final concentration of 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin). SK-N-SH or SK-N-BE cells re-suspended in complete medium were incubated under a humid atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37 °C.
1-methyl-4-phenyl pyridinium (MPP+; Sigma-Aldrich, Louis, MO, USA) was used to establish PD cell model. To select the most appropriate concentration of MPP+, 0, 0.5, 1, 2, or 3 mM MPP+ were added into SK-N-SH and SK-N-BE cells, respectively. 2 mM was selected as the corresponding concentration for subsequent assays. Besides, SK-N-SH or SK-N-BE cells were pretreated with 100 µM MPP+ for 24 h to establish the in vitro cell model for PD.

The human SHSY5Y, SKNSH, SKNAS and HEK293T cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (respectively ATCC #CRL-2266, HTB-11, and #CRL-11268); the human IMR32 cell line was obtained from SIGMA (86041809). SHSY5Y, SKNAS, SKNSH, and HEK293T cell lines were grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Sigma); IMR32 cell line was grown in Minimal Essential Eagle Medium (MEM; Sigma). The medium was supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS (Sigma), 1 mmol/L L-glutamine, penicillin (100 U/mL), and streptomycin (100mg/mL;Invitrogen). The cells were cultured at 37° C, 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere. The cell lines used for all the experiments were reauthenticated and tested as mycoplasma-free. Early-passage cells were used and cumulative culture length was less than 3 months after resuscitation.

As previously described [32 (link)], cells were incubated with the anti-EB1 (clone 5; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and α-tubulin (clone DM1A; Sigma Aldrich) primary antibodies, and then with Alexa488 or 568-conjugated secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes). Staining was observed using either a Leica DM-IRBE microscope or a Leica TCS SP5 confocal laser-scanning microscope (Leica, Heidelberg, Germany). Images were acquired using Metamoph software or the Leica Confocal software, and were processed using Image J software. For each experimental condition, at least 400 EB1 comets (in 40 cells) were examined to measure their length.

Differentiating SK-N-SH Cells into Neuron-Like Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human SK-N-SH cell line was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC #HTB-11). Cells were cultured in Eagle’s Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM; ATCC). This media was supplemented with 1 % penicillin-streptomycin-neomycin (Sigma) and 10 % (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS). Retinoic acid (RA; Sigma) was used to induce SK-N-SH cells [12 (link)] to differentiate into more neuron-like cells [13 (link)] because this cell line is a mixture of different cell types. Approximately 15,000 cells were cultured in T-75 flask (Corning) supplemented with EMEM media for two days, and then Retinoic acid (10 μM) was added. Cells were treated with RA for two weeks and media was replaced every three-four days [12 (link)]. Cultures were monitored visually using light microscopy for morphological changes, and evaluated for neuronal cell markers (NeuN, PSD95 and NCAM) during the differentiation process [12 (link), 14 (link)].

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.
