NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblast cell lines (ATCC CRL-1658) were cultured in 100 × 20 mm and 150 × 25 mm culture dishes (Falcon Corning cat. no. 353003 and 353025) using Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 4.5 g/L D-glucose, L-glutamine, 110 mg/L sodium pyruvate (DMEM, GIBCO 11995-065) with 10% heat inactivated newborn calf serum, NBCS (GIBCO 26010-074). Primary pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) were cultured until passage 8 in DMEM with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum and penicillin-streptomycin. Cultures were allowed to reach 80% confluency before passaging them into new media. Briefly, cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) without calcium and magnesium, Wisent 311-010-CL, cells detached using Trypsin-0.25% EDTA (Wisent) and split at a seeding density of 5,000 cells/cm2. Commercial GFs used in this study included the following: human FGF1 (PeproTech, cat. no. 100–17A), human FGF2 (PeproTech, cat. no. 100–18B), human PDGF-BB (PeproTech, cat. no. 100–14B), human IGF1 (PeproTech, cat. no. 100-11), human IGF2 (PeproTech, cat. no. 100-12), human TGF-β1(PeproTech, cat. no. 100–21C).

FGF1-Recifercept Proliferation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5000 cells were plated in white 96-well plate with optical bottom (Nunc). Prior to plating, cells were centrifuged twice at 800g, 5 minutes at room temperature and washed with assay medium (RPMI-1640, 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, 1% penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine) to remove of IL-3 and puromycin.
Cells were either stimulated for 72h with increasing concentrations of human FGF1 (Peprotech) or simultaneously with 10ng/mL human FGF1 and increasing concentrations of Recifercept, both supplemented with 10μg/mL heparin sodium salt (Sigma) acting as a co-factor. Cell proliferation was assessed by measuring intracellular ATP concentration with CellTiter Glo assay (Promega). Luminescence readout was measured with a Varioskan Lux plate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

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.
