Demyelinating rat cerebellar slice cultures were prepared as previously described (Birgbauer, Rao, & Webb, 2004). Briefly, P9 rat cerebellum was isolated and 300 μm sections were obtained using McIlwain tissue chopper (McIlwain, San Antonio, TX). Slices were then incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 in organotypic slice medium (50% BME [Gibco], 25% heat‐inactivated horse serum [Gibco], 25% HBSS [BME, Gibco], 5 mg/mL glucose, 1× glutamax [Gibco], and 1× Mycozap‐PR plus [Lonza]). After a week in culture, slices were demyelinated with 0.5 mg/mL lysolecithin for 16 hr and then incubated in lysolecithin‐free medium to allow remyelination.

Mouse skeletal muscle cell lines (C2C12 myoblasts) were obtained from Shanghai FuHeng Biology (Shanghai, China). The cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; Gibco Co., Ltd., Grand Island, NY, United States) containing 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and 1% (w/v) penicillin–streptomycin (P/S; NCM Biotech, Suzhou, China) in a humidified incubator under 5% (v/v) CO2 at 37°C. To initiate differentiation, cells were grown to 70%–80% confluence, and then incubated with DMEM with 2% (v/v) heat-inactivated horse serum (Gibco) and 1% (w/v) P/S for 4–6 days. The medium was changed daily. The fully differentiated myotubes were used in the following experiments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary hippocampal neurons were prepared from rats and mice as previously described (Farías et al., 2016 (link)). In brief, embryonic day 18 (E18) rats or mice were harvested and euthanized by decapitation. The brain was removed from the skull, and hippocampi were dissected in fresh Hank’s medium and treated with 0.25% trypsin (GIBCO) for 15 min at 37°C. The tissue was then washed twice with Hank’s medium and resuspended in plating medium consisting of Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) without phenol red, supplemented with 4.5 g/L glucose, 25 mM HEPES, 10% heat-inactivated horse serum (GIBCO), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. The hippocampi were then disrupted mechanically with a glass Pasteur pipet whose tip was narrowed to around 50% of its original diameter. The cells were counted, and 80,000 cells plated on 18-mm glass coverslips previously coated with polylysine (Sigma) and 5 μg/mL laminin (Roche). After 4 h, the medium was changed to complete Neurobasal medium (CNB) consisting of Neurobasal medium (GIBCO), supplemented with 1X B27 serum free (Thermo Scientific), 4.5 g/L glucose, and 100 U/mL penicillin-streptomycin (GIBCO).

Sheep Myoblast Isolation and Differentiation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
According to previous studies, sheep myoblasts were isolated by a two-step enzymatic method using muscle from newborn 5-day-old lambs [7 (link)]. Briefly, leg muscles were cut into small pieces and washed three times with DPBS, digested with 0.1% type I collagenase (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) for 1 h, and then digested with 0.25% trypsin (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) for 30 min. The tubes were shaken every 10 min and filtered through a 200-mesh sieve. The cells were cultured in a growth medium consisting of DMEM-F12 (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 20% FBS and 10% heat-inactivated horse serum (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA). Two hours later, the cell supernatant was transferred to a new flask and the cells began to adhere after 48 h. Myoblasts within four generations were used for subsequent studies. Differentiation of the myoblasts was carried out in a medium containing 2% horse serum in DMEM-F12. The differentiation was observed at 0, 72, and 120 h after differentiation.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PC-12 cells were from the American Type Culture Collection (CRL-1721) and subjected to quality control tests by the American Type Culture Collection. PC-12 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (high glucose; Gibco) containing 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco), 5% heat-inactivated horse serum (HyClone), penicillin (100 units/ml), and streptomycin (1 mg/ml) in plates coated with 10 μg/ml type IV collagen (Sigma–Aldrich). Cells were passaged no more than eight times.
Astrocytes were isolated from Sprague–Dawley rat pup brains, as previously described (67 (link)). In brief, cortices were dissected from the forebrain and surrounding meninges and then mechanically and enzymatically dissociated using the Neural Tissue Dissociation Kit P (Miltenyi Biotec). Mixed glial cultures were established in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium/F-12 medium supplemented with GlutaMAX (Gibco), 10% FBS, and 100 units/ml antibiotic–antimycotic (Gibco). After culturing for 10 to 14 days, microglia and oligodendrocytes were removed by shaking. The astrocytes were collected by trypsinization and replated at 3.5 × 105 cells/well on poly-d-lysine-coated surfaces. Experiments were performed within 48 h of completing the isolation procedure.

Ventricular-like hiPSC-CMs were differentiated from an in-house control hiPSC cell line [9 (link)]. Differentiated hiPSC-CMs were used to generate three-dimensional EHT (1 × 106 cells/100 μL EHT). The expansion and differentiation of hiPSC-CMs and the generation of EHT were performed according to published in-house standardized protocol [10 (link)]. EHT was cultured for 24–29 days under identical conditions at 37 °C in a 7% CO2 and 40% O2humidified cell culture incubator with a medium consisting of DMEM (Biochrom, Berlin, Germany), 10% heat-inactivated horse serum (Gibco, Paisley, Scotland), 1% penicillin–streptomycin (Gibco, Paisley, Scotland), insulin (10 μg/mL; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), and aprotinin (33 μg/mL; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). After culturing, hiPSC-CMs applied for patch clamp measurements were isolated with collagenase II (200 U/mL; Worthington Biochemical, Lakewood, NJ, USA) for 5 h. Isolated cells were plated on gelatine-coated (0.1%) glass coverslips (12 mm diameter; Carl Roth GmbH + Co, Karlsruhe, Germany) and kept in culture for 24–48 h to maintain adherence under superfusion in the recording chamber during patch clamp measurements.

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.
