Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK-293T cells (CRL-3216, ATCC) and C3H/10T1/2 cells (CCL-226, ATCC) were cultured in DMEM (11965, Gibco) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (F4135, Sigma) and 1× penicillin–streptomycin (15140122, Gibco). Primary human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTECs) (CC-2553, Lonza) were cultured in Renal Epithelial Cell Growth Medium (CC-3190, Lonza) with supplements provided in the kit. Primary RPTECs were used in early passage. All cells were maintained in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C unless otherwise specified.

Primary human renal proximal tubular cells (RPTECs) were purchased from Lonza (CC-2553) and cultured with Renal Epithelium Cell Growth Medium (CC-3190) supplemented with 10 ng/mL EGF, 5% v/v fetal calf serum, provided with the medium kit. Cells were maintained in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C. All experiments were carried out on passage 3 of the cells. Cells were treated with glycated albumin or siRNA after a 24-h serum starvation.

Dedifferentiation and Re-epithelialization of hRPTECs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
hRPTECs were purchased from Lonza (CC-2553; Basel, Switzerland), and were used between the fifth and seventh passages in renal epithelial basal medium supplemented with REGM Singlequots Bulletkit (CC-3190; Lonza). These cells were seeded onto collagen I-coated six-well plates at a density of 3 × 105 cells/well and cultivated until sub-confluent, and the medium was then replaced with serum-free medium for starvation. After starvation for 24 h, the hRPTECs were stimulated to dedifferentiate by 3 ng/mL of TGF-β1 for 48 h; thereafter, re-differentiation (re-epithelialization) was induced by incubation with TGF-β1-free fresh medium for 48 h, 72 h, or 96 h.

Cell Culture Protocol for Multiple Cell Types

The normal human astrocyte (CC-2565), cardiac coronary artery endothelial cells (CC-7030), and renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (CC-2553) were obtained from Lonza (Basel, Switzerland). The cells were cultured in systems containing ABMTM Basal Medium (CC-3187) and AGMTM SingleQuotsTM Supplements (CC-4123), EBMTM-2 Basal Medium (CC-3156) and EGMTM-2 MV Microvascular Endothelial Cell Growth Medium SingleQuotsTM supplements (CC-4147), and REBMTM Basal Medium (CC-3191) and REGMTM SingleQuotsTM supplements (CC-4127), respectively. The TRF2 F/- Rosa26-CreERT2 cells were of the mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line (MEF, ATCC, Manassas, VA USA) and were immortalized by SV40-LT antigen and cultured in DMEM (ATCC® 30-2002™) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; ATCC® 30-2020™), 2 mM L-glutamine (ATCC® 30-2214™), and 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids (NEAA, 100X; Gibco cat 11140050, Seoul, South Korea). TRF2 knockout could be accomplished by Cre recombinase transduction or 1 μM 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT) treatment for 7 days with the MEFs. All cells were mycoplasma-free before and during the experiments, as determined by a MycoAlert TM Mycoplasma Detection Kit from Lonza.

Renal Cell Responses to Cytokines

Human primary kidney cells used in the experiments include renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTEC; CC-2553, Lonza, Switzerland), human renal glomerular microvascular endothelial cells (HRGEC; ACBRI128, Cell Systems, Kirkland, WA), kidney fibroblasts (HKF; H-6016, Cell Biologics, Chicago, IL), and human renal mesangial cells (HRMC; #4200, ScienCell, Carlsbad, CA). The cells were plated in 96-well plates (1 × 10 4 cells/well) and stimulated with some combination of human IL-6 (100 ng/ml; Toray Industries) plus human soluble IL-6Rα (100 ng/ml; PeproTech), human IL-17A (50 ng/ml; PeproTech), recombinant human ORM1 (1,000 ng/ml; Prospecbio, Rehovot, Israel), and human TNFα (50 ng/ml; PeproTech) for 3, 6 or 24 hours after serum starvation. Soluble IL-6Rα was added, because non-immune cells normally express only IL-6 signal-transducing receptor subunit gp130. Recombinant ORM1 was inactivated by incubating at 100°C for 10 min. The cells were harvested, and total RNA was prepared for real-time PCR. For mechanistic analysis, RPTEC were immortalized using SV40 large T antigen. Immortalized RPTEC showed a similar response to primary RPTEC following cytokine stimulation (Supplementary Fig. 1). Human hepatoma Hep3B cells were stimulated overnight with IL-6/IL-6Rα, IL-17 or their combination.

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.
