Optimized Protocol for Isolation and Culture of Murine Neonatal Primary Lung Fibroblasts.

ABSTRACT: During all the stages of lung development, the lung mesoderm (or mesenchyme) is closely related to the endoderm, and their cross-regulation promotes, controls, and drives all lung developmental processes. Generation of 3D organoids in vitro, RNA assays, and mitochondrial respiration studies are used to analyze lung development and regeneration to better understand the interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme, as well as for the study of redox alterations and the metabolic status of the cells. Moreover, to avoid using immortalized cell lines in these in vitro approaches, standardized murine neonatal primary lung fibroblast isolation techniques are essential. Here, we present an optimized method to isolate, culture, and freeze primary lung fibroblasts from neonatal lungs. Our current method includes step-by-step instructions accompanied by graphical explanations and critical steps.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles represent a rich source of novel biomarkers in the diagnosis and prognosis of disease. However, there is currently limited information elucidating the most efficient methods for obtaining high yields of pure exosomes, a subset of extracellular vesicles, from cell culture supernatant and complex biological fluids such as plasma. To this end, we comprehensively characterize a variety of exosome isolation protocols for their efficiency, yield and purity of isolated exosomes. Repeated ultracentrifugation steps can reduce the quality of exosome preparations leading to lower exosome yield. We show that concentration of cell culture conditioned media using ultrafiltration devices results in increased vesicle isolation when compared to traditional ultracentrifugation protocols. However, our data on using conditioned media isolated from the Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) SK-MES-1 cell line demonstrates that the choice of concentrating device can greatly impact the yield of isolated exosomes. We find that centrifuge-based concentrating methods are more appropriate than pressure-driven concentrating devices and allow the rapid isolation of exosomes from both NSCLC cell culture conditioned media and complex biological fluids. In fact to date, no protocol detailing exosome isolation utilizing current commercial methods from both cells and patient samples has been described. Utilizing tunable resistive pulse sensing and protein analysis, we provide a comparative analysis of 4 exosome isolation techniques, indicating their efficacy and preparation purity. Our results demonstrate that current precipitation protocols for the isolation of exosomes from cell culture conditioned media and plasma provide the least pure preparations of exosomes, whereas size exclusion isolation is comparable to density gradient purification of exosomes. We have identified current shortcomings in common extracellular vesicle isolation methods and provide a potential standardized method that is effective, reproducible and can be utilized for various starting materials. We believe this method will have extensive application in the growing field of extracellular vesicle research.
