3D Culture and Immunofluorescence of MCF10A Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Seventy microliters of Cultrex 3-D Culture Matrix reduced growth factor basement membrane extract (R&D Systems) were added to triplicate wells of eight Chamber Polystyrene Vessels (BD Falcon). The vessels were placed in a 37°C 5% CO2 incubator for 30 min to allow the matrix to solidify. Cells (4000 per well) stably expressing vector control plasmid or B7-H3 overexpression plasmid were then seeded and allowed to grow for 8 days. The media was replaced with fresh growth media after 4 days. Acini ofMCF10A-Vector and MCF-10A-B7H3 were further fixed using a 1:1 mixture of methanol:acetone at −20°C for 10–12min. Acini were blocked with 2% FBS in PBS for 2 hours, then washed with PBS for 2 times. Acini were stain with anti-E-cadherin(Cell signaling) at 4°C overninght, and washed with PBS for 3 times. The Acini were stained with rhodamine-conjugated secondary antibody for 1–2 hr at room temperature in the dark, and the washed with PBS for 5 times. Slides were mounted with Prolong® Gold Antifade Reagent with DAPI.

Immunofluorescence Staining of Cell Markers

The cells were plated in Chamber Polystyrene Vessels (BD Falcon, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Three days after culture in DMEM containing 10% FBS, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.4% Triton X-100 for immunofluorescence staining. The cells were blocked with normal goat serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) and then incubated with primary antibodies at 1:100 dilutions against vimentin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), cytokeratin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and CD45 (Abcam) overnight at 4°C. After washing with PBS, Alexa Fluor 488 (green)-and Alexa Fluor 594 (red)-labeled secondary antibodies (1:100; Proteintech) were applied in darkness at room temperature for 2 h. Nuclei were counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2phenylindole (DAPI, blue color) (1 μg/mL). The staining was examined using a fluorescence microscope (Zeiss).

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.
