低容量通气培养系统的初始开发部分得到了美国国家科学基金会（CRI-OA-1416690 给迪金森学院）的支持。Lauren Mullineaux 博士慷慨地为伍兹霍尔海洋研究所提供了实验室设施，在那里收集了该系统提供的数据（图 4）。

1. 建立和维持 C. fornicata 幼虫培养物的常规操作
注意：这种方法从一加仑（3.8 升）罐装海水开始，其中含有刚刚释放育雏的 Veliger 幼虫的成年 C. fornicata 。成虫可以实地采集或从 材料表中 给出的供应商处获得。成虫是原生雄性雌雄同体，生活在交配堆中，无柄育雏雌性生活在堆底。不要拆散成人堆栈。繁殖的季节性和调节成虫以在非季节产卵的方法之前已经描述过17。幼虫最好在释放后 2-3 小时内收集，此时它们具有很强的地理负性，并且会集中在罐子表面附近。
<ol><li>切下 400 mL 三角一次性塑料烧杯的底部，然后粘在 236 μm 尼龙网板上，制成筛子。为此，特别是对于 mesocosm 结构（如下），请使用对聚乙烯具有良好的粘合力的热熔胶。</li>
	<li>从成虫罐中取出曝气物，静置 15-20 分钟，以便碎屑沉淀，幼虫可以轻松游到水面。</li>
	<li>通过固定在 60-80 厘米长的软塑料水族箱管末端的短 （15-20 cm） 5 mm 玻璃管将幼虫虹吸到如上所述制备的筛子中，悬浮在 600 mL 玻璃烧杯中，使多余的海水溢出玻璃烧杯，而幼虫保留在筛子上。将筛子底部保持在水下，避免搁浅幼虫。</li>
	<li>将筛子短暂地从烧杯中取出，并使用过滤海水 （FSW） 的喷瓶将幼虫冲洗到一个玻璃碗中，该玻璃碗的大小便于在低倍解剖显微镜下进行操作。 注意：C. fornicata 的幼虫在盐度接近 30 ppt 的过滤天然海水或 20-25 °C17,18 的盐度高达 32 ppt. 的 Instant Ocean 人工海水中茁壮成长。< 1 μm 的过滤足以消除可能在实验室培养中引起问题的污染流行性原生生物。</li>
	<li>使用巴斯德移液管手动将所需数量的幼虫转移到培养罐中并计数。为获得最佳结果，请使用 1 只幼虫/5 mL 培养体积的 C. fornicata。数一数幼虫，避免估计数量的诱惑。</li>
	<li>当培养开始时，用所需口粮的微藻喂养幼虫，当更换培养水时，每隔一天更换一次微藻。 注意：1 x 105 个细胞/mL 等黄藻 （菌株 T-ISO）的饮食是一种很好的标准饮食，可产生接近最高的实验室生长速率。食物配给和 T-ISO 的培养方法在早期出版物中提供17。</li>
	<li>如上面的步骤 1.3 所示，将培养物的内容物倒入烧杯内的筛子中，每隔一天更换一次培养水。取出筛子，用 FSW 喷瓶将幼虫冲洗到装有新食物的新鲜 FSW 培养罐中。 注意：最佳做法是将用于幼虫培养的任何玻璃器皿分开，并避免该玻璃器皿与固定剂、可溶性重金属盐或清洁剂接触。日常清洁最好使用小苏打糊 （NaHCO3） 和尼龙擦洗垫进行，而矿物质沉积物可以用白醋或稀释的 HCl 进行温和的酸洗去除。</li>
</ol>2. C. fornicata 幼虫通风培养物的构建
注意：推荐的玻璃罐（材料表）有一个聚丙烯盖，该盖对海水呈惰性，并且具有适合固定管道倒钩入口的厚度，用于通风气流。
<ol><li>在每个培养瓶（包括盖子的内衬）的盖子上钻两个 5 毫米的孔，每个孔距边缘约 1.5 厘米，并且彼此相对。（13/64 英寸英制或 #7 ASME 标准机械师的钻头也将制作合适的间隙孔）。</li>
	<li>使用 10-32 尼龙螺母在每个孔中安装一个 1/8 英寸 x 10-32 螺纹尼龙管适配器，管子倒钩位于盖子的外表面。</li>
	<li>在其中一个管道适配器的螺纹内部的孔上涂抹少许硅橡胶水族密封剂，然后从内部将 20 厘米长的 2 毫米（外径）聚乙烯管推入孔中，使其突出几毫米超出管道倒钩的外孔。</li>
	<li>现在，管材的末端将有一小块水族密封剂塞，从管材倒钩中伸出，但在倒钩末端之外可以看到透明管材。让密封剂固化，然后修剪聚乙烯管的突出端，使其与管倒钩的末端齐平。</li>
	<li>用 FSW 填充培养瓶，使其距离罐顶部肩部 1 cm 以内，拧下盖子，然后将通风空气或实验气体混合物供应连接到固定聚乙烯通气管的管道倒钩上。修剪通风管的长度，使其末端整齐地位于罐子的底部。</li>
	<li>调整通风空气或气体混合物的流量，以产生缓慢的气泡流（图 1）。使用带有普通水族箱联阀的水族箱气泵为环境空气供应通风，或将质量流量控制器用于其他实验性大气气体混合物14。</li>
</ol>3. 构建 C. fornicata 幼虫的现场可部署中宇宙培养物
<ol><li>在标准 7 加仑聚乙烯桶的侧面切 4 个均匀分布的矩形开口，每个开口 25 厘米 x 14.5 厘米。将每个开口的底部放置在距离桶内底部约 3.5 厘米的位置（图 2A）。带有细齿刀片的手持式电刀锯是实现此目的的理想选择。保留切出的废料，用台锯将它们纵向切成 2 厘米宽的条状。</li>
	<li>剪下 4 块 236 μm 尼龙网，每块至少 30 cm x 20 cm，以便舒适地重叠（至少 2 cm）桶中的切口开口。使用小弹簧夹或衣夹将网面板的一个边缘暂时固定在其切口的长边上。</li>
	<li>用专为聚乙烯配制的热熔胶将网板的边缘粘到桶口上。固定第一个边缘后，在保持张力的同时粘合其他边缘，以在网格面板上获得拉紧的表面。</li>
	<li>修剪步骤 3.1 中桶废料条的长度，使加强条整齐地覆盖网板与桶开口重叠的胶合区域。用大量的热熔胶将每个覆盖条压入到位，在胶水硬化之前快速将每个覆盖条压到位。</li>
	<li>用从桶外部安装的尼龙盲铆钉固定每个条带的末端。用实用剃须刀从加固条的外边缘修剪掉多余的胶水和网眼。 注意：每个铆钉都需要一个 15/64 英寸的导向孔。在 图 2B 中，铆钉的内部（盲）部分在成品 mesocosm 的内部可见。</li>
	<li>将 mesocosm 部署在浮动机架中，该浮动机架将桶的顶部保持在水面以上（图 2C）。所示的浮动机架由 30 厘米的 2 英寸 Schedule 40 PVC 管段制成，与弯头和三通接头粘合在一起，形成一个气密结构，可以容纳一排 4 个复制中宇宙。</li>
	<li>根据当地情况，网板可能会在 1-2 天内结垢，从而阻碍海水通过中层的交换。在这种情况下，通过将污损的中胚层从水中拉出 2/3rd ，并用 2 L 水罐反复从其底部捞入新鲜的中胚层，将幼虫转移到新鲜的中层中。</li>
	<li>执行 20-25 次迭代以转移大部分幼虫，或直到在被污染的中宇宙中不再观察到幼虫。用装有小苏打糊 （NaHCO3） 的软海绵轻轻擦洗网板，然后用自来水冲洗，以清洁被污染的 mesocosm。</li>

没有需要报告的利益冲突。

尽管与其他浮游营养海洋幼虫相比，C. fornicata 的幼虫相对容易养殖，但关注良好养殖规范的基本原则仍然是必不可少的17,19。健康的幼虫应在孵化后立即开始摄食。这在孵化后的第二天通过使用具有透射功能的解剖显微镜观察它们充满藻类细胞的完整肠道，很容易验证。健康幼虫的壳应保持清洁、明亮，并且没有茎纤毛原生生物或无柄羽状硅藻?...

拖鞋帽贝 Crepidula fornicata （腹足纲：Calyptraeidae） 在当前和历史研究文献中得到了很好的体现，因为它作为一种发展模式的实用性以及它作为入侵物种的广泛影响。它是实验胚胎学经典时代螺旋发育的基础例子1，并且随着现代成像和基因组工具的应用来剖析 Lophotrochozoan 早期发育的机制，它经历了兴趣的重生 2,3。在其生命周期历史的另一端，其他研究集中在这种生态系统工程师的成年种群对温带沿海海洋环境的影响，这些海洋环境远非其在北美东部的原始分布 4,5。在胚胎和成虫之间，该物种的绒毛幼虫一直是幼虫发育和生态学的大量研究的主题，特别是影响生长和获得能力的因素，介导幼虫定居的内部和外部线索，以及幼虫经历对幼虫性能的影响 6,7,8,9,10,11 .最近的研究揭示了 C. fornicata 的幼虫和幼虫对海洋酸化的适应能力，这是这种动物的另一种生产性研究利用途径 12,13,14,15,16。
C. fornicata 用于海洋幼虫生物学研究的一个优点是，它在实验室中相对容易在天然或人工海水中以鞭毛状 Isochrysis galbana 的单一饮食生长。作者在早期以方法为重点的印刷出版物中详细介绍了培养方法17。目前做出贡献的原因有两个。首先，建立和照顾培养物所涉及的日常物理操作在概念上非常简单，但如果没有动手或视频演示，很难正确执行。其次，描述了先前描述的培养方法的两种变体，它们特别适用于对环境压力源（如海洋酸化、富营养化和氧气消耗）的反应的实验室和现场研究。其中第一个是小容量 （800 mL） 培养系统，适用于通过少量气泡气体控制海水中的 pH 值和溶解氧，第二个是较大容量 （15 L） 的中层系统，可以放置在田间并允许自由交换环境海水。

laboratory and field culture of larvae of the slipper limpet, crepidula fornicata

蛾蛾腹足类软体动物 Crepidula fornicata 已广泛用于幼虫发育生物学、生理学和生态学的研究。该物种的育雏绒幼虫在成虫自然释放后通过虹吸到筛子上收集，以 200/L 的密度分配到培养物中，并以 1 x 105 个细胞/mL 的密度喂食 Isochrysis galbana（菌株 T-ISO）。记录了在通风的 800 mL 培养物中饲养的兄弟幼虫的壳生长和能力的获得，这些培养物旨在平衡与环境空气或确定的大气气体混合物。与这些实验室培养条件形成对比;还收集了在位于繁殖成虫田间种群中的 15 L 流过环境海水中层饲养的幼虫的生长和能力数据。实验室培养物中能力的生长速率和时间与先前发表的研究中报道的相似。在田间中饲养的幼虫生长得比任何实验室研究报道的要快得多，也早得多。总之，这些方法适用于在实验室中预定的受控条件下以及在田间自然发生的条件下探索幼虫发育。

在 800 mL 通气培养物的 4 个同时重复中测量幼虫生长和能力的获得，每个重复包含 160 只幼虫，来自从单个卵块孵化的兄弟姐妹批次的幼虫，并以 1 x 105 个细胞/mL 的密度喂食 Isochrysis galbana。pH 值为 7.9-8.0，温度为 20-21 °C，盐度为 30-31 ppt。在美国马萨诸塞州秃鹰湾部署的 15 L 中层环境中，还用不同兄弟批次的幼虫测定了生长和，该试验中含有 600 只幼虫，在 pH 值、温度和盐度与实验?...

Olfactory responses in Drosophila larvae have been traditionally studied in Petri dishes comprising a single peripheral odor source. In this behavioral paradigm, the experimenter usually assumes that the rapid diffusion of odorant molecules from the source leads to the creation of a stable gradient in the dish. To establish a quantitative correlation between sensory inputs and behavioral responses, it is necessary to achieve a more thorough characterization of the odorant stimulus conditions. In this video article, we describe a new method allowing the construction of odorant gradients with stable and controllable geometries. We briefly illustrate how these gradients can be used to screen for olfactory defects (full and partial anosmia) and to study more subtle features of chemotaxis behavior.

Establishment of an Extracellular Acidic pH Culture System

Conditions of the tumor microenvironment, such as hypoxia or nutrient starvation, play critical roles in cancer progression and malignancy. However, the role of acidic extracellular pH in tumor aggressiveness and its underlying mechanism has not been extensively studied compared to hypoxic or nutrient starvation conditions. In addition, a well-defined culture method to mimic the acidic extracellular tumor microenvironment has not been fully reported.
Here we present a simple in vitro culture method to maintain acidic extracellular pH using reduced bicarbonate and increased lactate or HCl concentrations in the culture medium. The medium pH was sustained for at least 24 h and gradually decreased by 72 h following culture of PANC-1 and AsPC-1 pancreatic cancer cells. Three distinct acidic media conditions in this study highly upregulated pH-responsive genes such as MSMO1, INSIG1, and IDI1 compared to hypoxia or nutrient starvation. The upregulation of these genes can be used as a marker of acidic pH. These simple techniques are beneficial to elucidate underlying mechanisms of tumor malignancy under acidic tumor microenvironment. Therefore, our extracellular acidic pH culture system enables discovery of cellular acidic pH responses not only in cancer cells but also in primary cells, such as renal tubular cells, in relation to the other acidic disorders including, diabetic ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis, renal tubular acidosis, and respiratory acidosis.

The acidic tumor microenvironment plays critical roles in tumor progression. To assess the effects of acidic extracellular pH on cancer cells in vitro, we established simple acidic culture systems.

Dissection and Lipid Droplet Staining of Oenocytes in Drosophila Larvae

Lipids are essential for animal development and physiological homeostasis. Dysregulation of lipid metabolism results in various developmental defects and diseases, such as obesity and fatty liver. Usually, lipids are stored in lipid droplets, which are the multifunctional lipid storage organelles in cells. Lipid droplets vary in size and number in different tissues and under different conditions. It has been reported that lipid droplets are tightly controlled through regulation of its biogenesis and degradation. In Drosophila melanogaster, the oenocyte is an important tissue for lipid metabolism and has been recently identified as a human liver analogue regarding lipid mobilization in response to stress. However, the mechanisms underlying the regulation of lipid droplet metabolism in oenocytes remain elusive. To solve this problem, it is of utmost importance to develop a reliable and sensitive method to directly visualize lipid droplet dynamic changes in oenocytes during development and under stressful conditions. Taking advantage of the lipophilic BODIPY 493/503, a lipid droplet-specific fluorescent dye, described here is a detailed protocol for the dissection and subsequent lipid droplet staining in the oenocytes of Drosophila larvae in response to starvation. This allows for qualitative analysis of lipid droplet dynamics under various conditions by confocal microscopy. Furthermore, this rapid and highly reproducible method can also be used in genetic screens for indentifying novel genetic factors involving lipid droplet metabolism in oenocytes and other tissues.

Development of a Mobile Mitochondrial Physiology Laboratory for Measuring Mitochondrial Energetics in the Field

Mitochondrial energetics is a central theme in animal biochemistry and physiology, with researchers using mitochondrial respiration as a metric to investigate metabolic capability. To obtain the measures of mitochondrial respiration, fresh biological samples must be used, and the entire laboratory procedure must be completed within approximately 2 h. Furthermore, multiple pieces of specialized equipment are required to perform these laboratory assays. This creates a challenge for measuring mitochondrial respiration in the tissues of wild animals living far from physiology laboratories as live tissue cannot be preserved for very long after collection in the field. Moreover, transporting live animals over long distances induces stress, which can alter mitochondrial energetics.
This manuscript introduces the Auburn University (AU) MitoMobile, a mobile mitochondrial physiology laboratory that can be taken into the field and used on-site to measure mitochondrial metabolism in tissues collected from wild animals. The basic features of the mobile laboratory and the step-by-step methods for measuring isolated mitochondrial respiration rates are presented. Additionally, the data presented validate the success of outfitting the mobile mitochondrial physiology laboratory and making mitochondrial respiration measurements. The novelty of the mobile laboratory lies in the ability to drive to the field and perform mitochondrial measurements on the tissues of animals captured on site.

We designed and constructed a mobile laboratory to measure respiration rates in isolated mitochondria of wild animals captured at field locations. Here, we describe the design and outfitting of a mobile mitochondrial laboratory and the associated laboratory protocols.

Cell Culture Techniques and Practices to Avoid Contamination by Fungi and Bacteria in the Research Cell Culture Laboratory

Cell culture is a delicate skill necessary for growing human, animal, and insect cells, or other tissues, in a controlled environment. The goal of the protocol is to emphasize the correct techniques used in a research laboratory to prevent contamination from fungi and bacteria. Special emphasis is placed on avoiding mycoplasma contamination, a major concern in the cell culture room due to its small size and resistance to most antibiotics used for cell culture. These same techniques ensure continuous growth and maintain healthy cells. For new and experienced cell culture users alike, it&#8217;s important to consistently adhere to these best practices to mitigate the risk of contamination. Once a year, laboratories should review cell culture best practices and follow-up with a discussion or additional training if needed. Taking early action to prevent contamination in the first place will save time and money, as compared to cleaning up after contamination occurs. Universal best practices keep cell cultures healthy, thereby reducing the need to constantly thaw new cells, purchase expensive cell culture media, and reducing the amount of incubator decontamination and downtime.&#160;

This protocol presents essential cell culture techniques and practices to be used in the research cell culture laboratory to avoid contamination by fungi and bacteria. Within the category of bacteria, special emphasis will be placed on preventing mycoplasma contamination.&#160;&#160;

Isolation and Culture of Primary Cochlear Hair Cells from Neonatal Mice

Cochlear hair cells are the sensory receptors of the auditory system. These cells are located in the organ of Corti, the sensory organ responsible for hearing, within the osseous labyrinth of the inner ear. Cochlear hair cells consist of two anatomically and functionally distinct types: outer and inner hair cells. Damage to either of them results in hearing loss. Notably, as inner hair cells cannot regenerate, and damage to them is permanent. Hence, in vitro cultivation of primary hair cells is indispensable for investigating the protective or regenerative effects of cochlear hair cells. This study aimed to discover a method for isolating and cultivating mouse hair cells. 
After manual removal of the cochlear lateral wall, the auditory epithelium was meticulously dissected from the cochlear modiolus under a microscope, incubated in a mixture consisting of 0.25% trypsin-EDTA for 10 min at 37 &#176;C, and gently suspended in culture medium using a 200 &#181;L pipette tip. The cell suspension was passed through a cell filter, the filtrate was centrifuged, and cells were cultured in 24-well plates. Hair cells were identified based on their capacity to express a mechanotransduction complex, myosin-VIIa, which is involved in motor tensions, and via selective labeling of F-actin using phalloidin. Cells reached &gt;90% confluence after 4 d in culture. This method can enhance our understanding of the biological characteristics of in vitro cultured hair cells and demonstrate the efficiency of cochlear hair cell cultures, establishing a solid methodological foundation for further auditory research.

Bradysia coprophila Lab Protocols and Chromosomal Research

Laboratory Maintenance of the Lower Dipteran Fly Bradysia (Sciara) coprophila: A New/Old Emerging Model Organism

Laboratory stocks of the lower dipteran fly, Bradysia (Sciara) coprophila, have been maintained for over a century. Protocols for laboratory upkeep of B. coprophila are presented here. These protocols will be useful for the rapidly increasing number of laboratories studying B. coprophila to take advantage of its unique biological features, which include (1) a monopolar spindle in male meiosis I; (2) non-disjunction of the X dyad in male meiosis II; (3) chromosome imprinting to distinguish maternal from paternal homologs; (4) germ line-limited (L) chromosomes; (5) chromosome elimination (paternal chromosomes in male meiosis I; one to two X chromosomes in early embryos; L chromosomes from the soma in early embryos); (6) sex determination by the mother (there is no Y chromosome); and (7) developmentally regulated DNA amplification at the DNA puff loci in larval salivary gland polytene chromosomes. 
It is now possible to explore these many unique features of chromosome mechanics by using the recent advances in sequencing and assembly of the B. coprophila genome and the development of transformation methodology for genomic engineering. The growing scientific community that uses B. coprophila for research will benefit from the protocols described here for mating the flies (phenotypic markers for mothers that will have only sons or only daughters; details of mass mating for biochemical experiments), checking embryo hatch, feeding larvae, and other comments on its rearing.

Isolation and Culture of Primary Human Mammary Epithelial Cells

The mammary gland is a fundamental structure of the breast and plays an essential role in reproduction. Human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs), which are the origin cells of breast cancer and other breast-related inflammatory diseases, have garnered considerable attention. However, isolating and culturing primary HMECs in vitro for research purposes has been challenging due to their highly differentiated, keratinized nature and their short lifespan. Therefore, developing a simple and efficient method to isolate and culture HMECs is of great scientific value for the study of breast biology and breast-related diseases. In this study, we successfully isolated primary HMECs from small amounts of mammary tissue by digestion with a mixture of enzymes combined with an initial culture in 5% fetal bovine serum-DMEM containing the Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) inhibitor Y-27632, followed by culture expansion in serum-free keratinocyte medium. This approach selectively promotes the growth of epithelial cells, resulting in an optimized cell yield. The simplicity and convenience of this method make it suitable for both laboratory and clinical research, which should provide valuable insights into these important areas of study.
