Culturing and Transfecting Endothelial and Kidney Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were grown on 0.1% gelatin coating in EndoGRO basal medium (Millipore) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) as previously described30 (link). Passage number did not exceed P7. Human epithelial kidney cells (HEK293) were used in promoter activity experiments. HEK293 were grown in 10% FBS DMEM media. Human TNFα (R&D Systems) was used in all in vitro experiments at 10ng/ml. Protein knockdown by siRNA (Ambion) in HUVECs was done by Oligofectamine (Invitrogen) for 3h and followed by 48h growth. Transfection of HEK293 by plasmid DNA was accomplished through Polyfect (Qiagen) according to manufacturer protocol. Transfection was allowed for 18h prior to treatment with harvest or TNFα treatment. THP-1 monocytes were grown in RPMI media containing 10% FBS.

Endothelial Cell Culture and Inflammation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) (Lonza, Portsmouth, NH, USA) were cultured in a flask coated with 0.1% gelatin using EndoGRO basal medium (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and used for experiments until Passage 6. Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) (Cell Application Inc. San Diego, CA, USA) were grown in human endothelial cell growth medium (Cell Application Inc.) containing 10% FBS and used for experiments until Passage 7. Proinflammatory cytokine cocktail containing TNF-α (10 ng/mL), IL-1β (10 ng/mL), and IL-6 (10 ng/mL) was used in in vitro experiments. siRNAs were transfected using Oligofectamine (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) in HUVECs for 3 h, followed by 48 h growth. The sequence for human CD137 siRNA is 5′-AAGCAGTTACTACAAGGATCC-3′; human CSF1 siRNA is 5′-GAUCCAGUGUGCUACCUUAAGAAGG-3′; human IL5RA siRNA is 5′-GCAAAGGAAUGUUAAUCUAGAAUAT-3′.

Human umbilical
vein endothelial
cells (Promocell) were used to recreate blood vessel lining in the
blood vessel model channel, and HeLa cells were used in to create
tumor spheroids. HUVECs were cultured in EndoGRO Basal medium (Millipore)
supplemented with SCME001 kit (EndoGRO-LS Supplement 0.2%, rh EGF
5 ng/mL, ascorbic acid 50 μg/mL, l-glutamine 10 mM,
hydrocortisone hemisuccinate 1 μg/mL, heparin sulfate 0.75 U/mL,
FBS 2%), and penicillin/streptomycin 1% (Biowest). HeLa cells were
cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM, as received
with l-glutamine, 4.5 g/L d-glucose and pyruvate,
Gibco) supplemented with FBS 5% (Gibco) and penicillin/streptomycin
1% (Biowest). HUVECs were cultured in 75 cm2 flasks and
HeLa in 25 cm2 flasks at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Cells were harvested using trypsin-EDTA (0.25%, Gibco) when they
reached 70–80% confluence.

HUVEC Cell Culture for Vascular Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HUVEC cells are primary cells extracted from human neonatal umbilical cords used for many vascular biology research applications, such as inflammation, angiogenesis and blood clotting. The cells were purchased from Millipore™. The culture was maintained in a sub-confluent state in culture Petri Dish (113 2 ) coated with fibronectin at 37 • C. HUVEC cells were grown in EndoGro basal medium (Millipore™) supplemented with 5 ng/mL of rhVEGF, rhEGF, rhFGFb respectively, 15 ng/mL rh IGF-1, 10 mM L-glutamine, 0.75 U/mL heparin sulfate, 1 µg/mL hyroscortisone hemisucinate, 50 µg/mL ascorbic acid, and 10% FBS.
For the final cell culture, the cells were grown in Matrigel ® (BD Biosciences) according to a no top-coat protocol. For polymerisation, Matrigel ® was incubated for 30 minutes at 37 • C and 4000 to 10000 cells were seeded and allowed to adhere for approximately 45 minutes. Then their complete medium was slowly poured over the attached cells.
All cells were routinely cultured in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO 2 at 37 • C for a day.

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.
