Human malignant glioma cell lines A-172 (cell no. JCRB0228; lot no. 021999), AM-38 (cell no. IFO50492; lot no. 12082003), T98G (cell no. IFO50303; lot no. 1007), U-251MG (cell no. IFO50288; lot no. 12132002), and YH-13 (cell no. IFO50493; lot no. 1164) were purchased from Health Science Research Resources Bank (Sennan, Osaka, Japan). U-87MG (glioblastoma of unknown origin; cat. no. HTB-14; lot no. 2497162) and U-138MG (cat. no. HTB-16; lot no. 1104428) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). In a previous study, we confirmed that O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT, a key factor of alkylating agents) is expressed in T98G, U-138MG and YH-13 cells by real-time RT-PCR and western blot analysis (29 (link)). Consistent with an earlier study (30 (link)), it was also confirmed that T98G (237 Met→Ile) and U-251MG (273 Arg→His) have a point mutation in the p53 gene (data not shown).
Cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's minimum essential medium (DMEM; Nissui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS; Life Technologies; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) using plastic culture flasks (Corning, Inc.) in a 37°C-humidified incubator with 5% CO2.

HTB-16; lot no. 1104428) was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection. A previous study by our group confirmed that O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), a key factor of alkylating agents, was expressed in the T98G, U-138MG and YH-13 cell lines via RT-qPCR and western blot analyses (22 (link)). Consistent with an earlier study (23 (link)), it was also confirmed that the T98G (237 Met→Ile) and U-251MG (273 Arg→His) cell lines have a point mutation in the TP53 gene (data not shown).
Cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Nissui Pharmaceutical) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) using plastic culture flasks (Corning, Inc.) in a 37°C incubator in a humidified (>95%) atmosphere containing 5% CO2.

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.
