Generating Engineered Cell Lines for Preclinical Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Green fluorescent protein and firefly luciferase-positive AsPC-1 cells (AsPC-1 WT) were generated in-house as described previously by Schaefer et al.28 (link) Luciferase expressing Raji cells were generated as described previously by Seitz et al.27 (link) AsPC-1 WT secreting latent TGF-β (AsPC-1-TGF) were generated via transduction of AsPC-1 WT with lentiviral vectors (LVV) encoding human TGF-β (UniProtKB-A0A024R0P8-1). The plasmid encoding human TGF-β was kindly provided by Stefan Edelburg (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch-Gladbach, Germany). Secretion of TGF-β was confirmed by ELISA (BioLegend, catalog no.: 432907). Human embryonic kidney-293 T cells (HEK293T, DSMZ no: Acc635) were obtained from DSMZ.
AsPC-1 WT and AsPC-1-TGF were cultured in RPMI 1640 (Biowest catalog no.: L0501) supplemented with 2 mM glutamine (Lonza, catalog no.: BE17-605E) and 10% fetal bovine serum (EXIMUS Maximus FBS, Catus Biotech, catalog no.: BS-2020-500). HEK293T cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (Biowest, catalog no.: L0104) supplemented with 10% FBS. Cell lines and primary human cells were cultured at 37°C and 5% CO2.

Stable Overexpression of B4GalT4 Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A375 and HEK293T cells obtained from the American Type Culture Collection were cultured in Dulbecco’s Minimum Eagle Medium (DMEM High Glucose, Biowest) under 5% CO2 and 37 °C. The medium was supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin and 4 mM L-glutamine. Stable transfections with pSelect plasmids for protein expression were performed using the FuGENE HD transfection reagent (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Selection of stable transfectants overexpressing different B4GalT4 variants was done in the complete media supplemented by 400 μg/ml of zeocin (InvivoGen). Analysis of stable transfectants was done by Western blotting and indirect fluorescent staining. After the selection the cell culture was maintained with a two-fold reduced zeocin concentration.

Prostate Cancer Cell Lines Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T, human prostate adenocarcinoma LNCaP, Du145 and PC3 cells lines were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA. The Docetaxel resistant cell lines Du145 and PC3 were developed as previously described [31 (link)]. HEK293T were cultured in DMEM (BioWest, Nuaillé, France), Docetaxel sentitive and resistant Du145 cells and LNCaP cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 (BioWest) and PC3 DS and PC3 DR in F12K nutrient mixture medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Culture media were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM l-glutamine, 100 U of penicillin/ml, 100 μg of streptomycin/ml, and 0.1 mM non-essential amino acids (all from BioWest). Docetaxel resistant cell lines were maintained with 2.5 nM of Docetaxel (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Antibody to PTOV1 was produced and purified as previously described [8 (link), 9 (link)]. Additional antibodies were obtained from: goat anti-actin (I-19) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA); mouse anti-HA.11 (16B12) (Covance, MA); mouse anti-Cyclin B1(V152) (Abcam, Cambridge, MA); rabbit anti-PARP1 (H-250) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Lentiviral vectors carrying short-hairpin RNA (shRNA, TRCN0000143905, TRCN0000140104 and TRCN0000139737) to PTOV1 were obtained from Sigma.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
K562 and HEK293T cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and were used in experiments at their early passages. K562 cells were cultured in RPMI (Biowest) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Biowest). HEK293T cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 4500 mg/L glucose (Biowest), 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Scientific), 1X MEM non-essential amino acids (Thermo Scientific), 1 mM sodium pyruvate, and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Biowest). All cell lines were tested for mycoplasma every 6 months.

SNU-398 (CRL-2233, RRID: CVCL_0077, Homo sapiens, male, Asian, 42-years-old, anaplastic HCC), PLC/PRF/5 (CRL-8024, RRID: CVCL_0485, Homo sapiens, hepatoma) and HEK 293T (CRL-11268, RRID: CVCL_0063, Homo sapiens, fetus, kidney) cell lines were purchased from the ATCC. Huh7 (JCRB0403, RRID: CVCL_0336, Homo sapiens, male, Asian, 57-years-old, differentiated hepatoma) was obtained from the Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources Cell Bank (JCRB). Cells were tested for Mycoplasma and characterized using STR profiling by the ATCC and JCRB, respectively. Cells were used within six months of resuscitation. Unless otherwise stated, HEK 293T, Huh7, and PLC/PRF/5 were grown in DMEM High Glucose (biowest) supplemented with 10% FBS (biowest) and SNU398 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (biowest) also supplemented with 10% FBS. Transfections were carried out in Opti-MEM (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific) in combination with lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). All the cell lines were cultured in a humidified incubator at 37°C, with 5% CO2.

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.
