Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DMEM was obtained from Life Technologies. Unless otherwise noted, all reagents were obtained from Sigma. The composition of Kreb’s solution used during imaging experiments was as follows: 121 mM Na+, 4.9 mM K+, 25 mM NaCO3, 1.2 mM Mg2+, 2.5 mM CaCl2, 1.2 mM NaHPO3, 11 mM d-glucose, and 1 mM pyruvate. Kreb’s solution was titrated to pH 7.4 with NaOH. 1-oleoyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphate (18:1 LPA; Avanti Polar Lipids, Inc.) was dissolved in 50% ethanol (vol/vol) according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and care was taken to avoid surpassing its critical micelle concentration. AM966 (Cayman Chemical Company; catalog 22048) was dissolved in DMSO to a final stock concentration of 50 mM. Glial metabolism was inhibited with the drug sodium fluoroacetate (FA, 5 mM dissolved in DMEM) for 2 hours and 1 hour in Ca2+ imaging and colonic motor complexes, respectively. Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was inhibited by l-NAME (Nω-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester, Cayman) at a final concentration of 100 μM in DMEM.

HEK293T (parental and hCLTAEN-Tq2) and human SK-MEL-2 (hCLTAEN-Tq2 hDNM2EN-eGFP, as previously described; Scott et al., 2018 (link)) were maintained in DMEM (GIBCO, 4.5 g/L glucose, 110 mg/L pyruvate), supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS (Hyclone), and 1,000 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin. For inhibition of cholesterol synthesis, cells were rinsed twice in serum-free DMEM and cultured under cholesterol deplete conditions in 7.5% delipidated serum (LPDS) for 48 h with small molecule inhibitors AY9944 (2.5 μM, Cayman Chemical; DHCR7 inhibitor), U18666A (20 nM, Cayman Chemical; DHCR24 inhibitor), Atorvastatin (1 μM, Cayman Chemical), or Simvastatin (Cayman Chemical), or at concentrations as otherwise specified. Acute sterol depletion was achieved by 1 h incubation with 5 mM MβCD (Alfa Aesar, 1303.31 g/mol) at 37°C. De-identified fibroblasts cultured from skin punch biopsies from Smith-Lemli-Opitz subjects (kind gift from Dr. Forbes Porter, NICHD) were maintained in DMEM (GIBCO, 4.5 g/L glucose, 110 mg/L pyruvate), supplemented with 15% (v/v) FBS (Hyclone), and 1,000 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin. SLOS fibroblasts were rinsed twice in serum-free DMEM and cultured for 10 days in 7.5% (v/v) LPDS to induce biochemical profiles. SLOS fibroblast cells lines were described previously (Krakowiak et al., 2000 (link); Wassif et al., 1998 (link)).

Epigenetic Drug Treatments on HeLa Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human HeLa cells were maintained in DMEM (Corning) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; HyClone) and 1% 100× penicillin/streptomycin (Corning). The cells were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2 for no more than 30 generations, and were passaged every 2–4 d. Experiments on captured chromosomes used cells that were allowed to recover 1–3 d before capture. Cells were freely cycling and not treated with drugs designed to affect or synchronize the cell cycle.
For epigenetic drug treatments, the cells were plated as above in drug-free DMEM and allowed to recover for ∼8 h, and then treated with 2 mM VPA (Sigma), 50 nM TSA (Sigma), or 2 µM MS (Cayman Chemicals), all dissolved in DMEM. Chromosomes were then captured from the cells (see below) 16–24 h after treatment for VPA and TSA, or 40–48 h for MS treatments.

The mouse kidney tubular cell line MM55.K (ATCC ref. CRL-6436) was maintained in DMEM (Gibco, #11965092) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), at 37 °C, 5% CO2 atmosphere and split with trypsin/EDTA solution. Cells were plated onto 6-well plates (3 × 105 cells/well) and, after 24 h of culture, treated with gemfibrozil (100 µM), MK-886 (25 µM, Cayman Chemical, #10133), a PPARα antagonist, and/or metformin (50 µM) in DMEM containing 10% FBS. After 24 h in culture, cells were briefly washed with PBS (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 8.1 mM Na2HPO4, 1.5 mM KH2PO4). RNA extraction, cDNA synthesis, and Real-Time PCR were then conducted.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human oligodendrocytic cell line MO3.13 was purchased from Cedarlane (Burlington, ON, Canada). Cells were cultured according to the manufacturer’s protocol in DMEM (D5796, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 10% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), 100 μg/ml streptomycin, and 100 U/mL penicillin (both from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in 5% CO2 at 37 °C. The medium was changed every 2–3 days, and cells were passaged when confluent. To induce differentiation, MO3.13 cells were incubated in the presence of 100 nM PMA (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or in the presence of 200 nM Pol I inhibitor, CX-5461 (Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) in a medium containing DMEM supplemented with 1% FBS. The medium was exchanged every second day, and cell morphology was analyzed daily. Cell morphology was examined using an Axiovert 40C microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) equipped with an A-Plan 10×/0.25 Ph1-objective.
Proliferation of MO3.13 cells was assessed by cell counting, using an EVE automatic cell counter (NanoEnTek, Seoul, Korea). Cells were plated onto a 12-well plate at the density of 150,000 cells per well. After 24 h, cells were treated with PMA (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at a final concentration of 100 nM or left untreated (control). Cells were cultured for additional 72 h, then trypsinized and counted.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DMEM (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 15% FBS was used for iMSC culture. EV-depleted FBS was prepared as previously described [35 (link)]. Cells from passages 6–7 were collected and seeded at a density of 10,000 cells/cm2 in a 150 mm culture dish (SPL, Pocheon-si, Korea). The next day, cells were treated with or without lanifibranor (Cayman, Ann Arbor, M, USA) for 24 h, after which the medium was replaced with DMEM supplemented with EV-depleted FBS and cultured for an additional 24 h. The supernatant was centrifuged for 10 min at 300×g, and the supernatant was transferred to a new tubes, which were then centrifuged for 20 min at 2000×g. This step was followed for another round of centrifugation at 10,000g for 80 min. The supernatant was passed through a 0.2-µm vacuum filter (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). Finally, the EVs were isolated by ultracentrifugation at 100,000×g for 80 min, after which the pellet was washed with PBS again (Beckman Coulter, CA, USA). EV pellets were redissolved in EV-free PBS.

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.
