Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The choriocarcinoma trophoblast cell lines, BeWo, Jar, and Jeg‐3, were from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The non‐tumor trophoblast HTR‐8/SVneo was a gift from Prof. Charles Graham (Queen's University at Kingston, Canada). Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs; originally from ATCC) and aortic endothelial cells (HAoECs; originally from PromoCell GmbH) were provided by Dr. Andriana Margariti and Prof. David Grieve, respectively (Queen's University Belfast, UK). BeWo cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 Gibco (Thermo Fisher) supplemented with 2 mmol/L L‐glutamate. Jar and HTR‐8/SVneo were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Sigma‐Aldrich), and Jeg‐3 was cultured in EMEM (ATCC). Both HUVECs and HAoECs were cultured in EGM‐2 (Lonza) with all vendor‐provided supplements in flasks or plates coated with 0.1% gelatin (Sigma‐Aldrich). All growth media contained 10% fetal calf serum. There was no mycoplasma contamination with the cells.

HTR-8/SVneo (ATCC CRL-3271, Manassas, VA, USA), an immortalized human first trimester placental cell line, was derived by transfection of first trimester human trophoblasts with a gene encoding simian virus 40 large T antigen. Choriocarcinoma-derived placenta trophoblast cell lines JEG-3 (ATCC HTB-36, Manassas, VA, USA) and BeWo cells (ATCC CCL-98, Manassas, VA, USA). The three cells were grown on RPMI1640 medium + Gluta MAX (Gibco; McKinley Place NE; MN; USA) combined with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco; McKinley Place NE; MN; USA). The cells were refined in a humid incubator at 37 °C under 5% carbon dioxide. Replacement of the cultural mediums occurred between 2 and 3 days. Cells were planted in each well of a 96-well, with saturation of cell viability and multiplication studies. ELISA testing, hormone measurement, and wound healing assays were all performed in 24-well plates. Cells were cultivated in 6-properly saturations to aid in Western blotting and for real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).

We have previously described iPSC lines derived from two MSCs, namely adipose stem cell (ASC; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and human adipose-derived MSC (MSC-AT; PromoCell, Heidelberg, Germany), and from a human white pre-adipocyte (HWP) cell line [4 (link), 27 (link)]. In this work, human adipose-derived MSC, designated ASC Lonza, was purchased from Lonza, Lonza, Verviers, Belgium. MH#1 was an iPSC cell lined established from ASC Lonza in our lab (S. Sugii, unpublished data). WJ0706 is a human MSC cell line derived from Wharton’s Jelly (WJ) obtained from Cytopeutics Sdn. Bhd, Selangor, Malaysia (http://www.cytopeutics.com). The MSC cell lines were isolated and characterized at Cytopeutics according to standard procedures and with ethical clearance [28 (link)]. Human placenta choriocarcinoma cell line JEG-3 (ATCC HTB-36), human normal placental cell line HS 799. PI (ATCC CRL-7530) and human normal colon cell line CRL-1790 (ATCC CRL-1790) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). Cancer cell lines were kindly provided by Professor Y.M. Lim, Cancer Research Center, Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman.

The choriocarcinoma cell lines BeWo (ECACC, Salisbury, UK) and JEG-3 (ATCC), which are useful models of human trophoblasts, were used for the study. The cells were cultured in DMEM (3.7 g/L NaHCO3, 4.5 g/L d-glucose, 1.028 g/L stable glutamine, and Na-Pyruvate; Biochrom, Berlin, Germany). 10% heat-inactivated FCS was added to the medium, and the solution was incubated at an atmospheric CO2 concentration of 5% and at 37°C.
BeWo and JEG-3 cells were separately grown on sterile 12 multiwell slides at a density of 500,000 cells/mL DMEM with 10% foetal cow serum. After 4 h, medium was changed to pure DMEM. The cells were stimulated with 0.01 nM or 0.1 nM triiodothyronine (T3) (Sigma T2877; Lot:106K1157V, Sigma-Aldrich), thyronamine (T0AM) (Fluka 80345, Lot: BCBL2185V, Buchs, Switzerland), 3-Iodothyronamine (T1AM) (Cayman Chemical) and RO5203548 (Glixx Laboratories, Hopkinton, MA, USA) for 2 h (PCR samples) and 48 h (Immunocytochemistry and Western blot samples), respectively. Control cells were incubated without stimulants. As a control solvent, the following buffers were used: The stimulant T3 has been diluted in 1 M NaOH in DMEM (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium) and T1AM and RO5203548 were diluted in DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide).

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.
