Human collagen type I (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA) was diluted to the appropriate concentration using sterile 4 mM HCl and 10× RPMI was added to neutralize pH. Freshly trypsinized cells re-suspended in FBS were added to the neutralized collagen I. The collagen gel was then allowed to polymerize at 37°C, 5% CO2, 90% humidity overnight. To harvest the cells from collagen gels, collagenase (Sigma-Aldrich) was added and incubated at 37°C for 15 min. Cell pellet was harvested from gel by centrifuge at 300g for 5 min.

The cell culture media RPMI 1640 and DMEM/F12 were purchased from Gibco, Life Technologies (Grand Island, NY); α-Modified Essential Medium (α-MEM) from Sigma Aldrich (Schnelldorf, Germany). Penicillin/streptomycin was obtained from Gibco, Life Technologies (Grand Island, NY); FBS from PAA Laboratories (Cölbe, Germany). Other media supplements (including insulin, hydrocortisone, cholera toxin, hEGF, β -glycerol phosphate, ascorbic acid, and dexamethasone) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (Schnelldorf, Germany). Human collagen type I was obtained from BD Biosciences (Heidelberg, Germany).
INCB28060 was purchased from Selleck Chemicals (Munich, Germany) and prepared as a 5 mM stock solution in 100% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and stored at—80°C [34 ]. INCB28060 was used at a concentration of 100 nM unless otherwise specified. HGF was purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN), diluted in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and stored at -20°C per manufacturer´s instructions.
Antibodies against human phosphorylated MET and total MET were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Boston, MA, USA). Anti-ERK 1/2 antibody was purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Heidelberg, Germany).

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.
