2D-cultured JEG-3 cells (2D SYNs; ATCC® HTB-36™, American Type Culture Collection, VA), human brain microvascular endothelial cells [HBMECs; (Coyne et al., 2007 (link))], LLC-MK2 cells (ATCC® CCL-7™; American Type Culture Collection, VA), and three-dimensional (3D) cultures of JEG-3 cells (3D SYNs) were grown as described previously (Silberstein et al., 2021 (link)). Experiments with 3D SYNs and 3D HBMECs were carried out between day 20–22 and day 4–6 after culture initiation, respectively. The number of viable cells was determined using the CellTiter-Fluor™ (for 2D SYNs) or the CellTiter-Glo™ 3D (for 3D SYNs) cell viability assays following manufacturer’s instructions (Promega, WI).
