mFBs were harvested from mono-culture, counted and resuspended in pre-mixed cold collagen solution at a density of 1 × 106 cells/mL.
The collagen lattice was prepared by combining 20 μL of cold collagen solution (BD, USA), 80 μL co-culture medium and 0.46 μL of 0.1 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution on ice.
Cold collagen solution (0.3 ml) was poured into 8-wells chamber wells (Nunc) avoiding bubble formation and warmed to 37°C to induce polymerization.
The ice cold collagen solution (80% of total volume, 4 mg/ml) was mixed with Hanks salt 10x with phenol red (10% of total volume) and adjusted to pH 7.4 by adding about 80 µl of 2 M NaOH per 12 ml collagen mixture while gently stirring on ice to avoid air bubbles and premature gelation.
Type I collagen gel was prepared using an 8 1 1 ratio of cold collagen solution (Cellmatrix I-P; Nitta Gelatin, Osaka, Japan), 10 × concentrated MEM (Invitrogen), and collagen dilution buffer containing 0.05 N NaOH, 2.2% NaHCO3, and 200 mM HEPES, pH 7.4.
Ice cold collagen solution (80% of total volume, 4 mg/ml) is mixed with 10x Hanks buffer (10% of total volume) and adjusted to pH 7.4 by adding 80 µl 2N NaOH per 12 ml while gently stirring on ice (i.e. for 6 gels 12 ml collagen + 1.5 ml 10x Hanks buffer).
