Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AGS cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were cultured in DME/F12 medium containing 10% heat inactivated FBS, 100 units/ml penicillin, and 100 µg/ml streptomycin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) as described [14 (link)]. H. pylori strain 26695 was maintained on Columbia blood agar containing 7% defibrinated horse blood (Cleveland Scientific, Bath, OH), 20 µg/ml bacitracin, 20 µg/ml trimethoprim, 16 µg/ml cefsulodin, 6.0 µg/ml vancomycin, and 2.5 µg/ml fungizone (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) under microaerophilic conditions as described [14 (link)]. AGS cells were untreated or treated for 1 hr or 4 hr with H. pylori at a multiplicity of infection (MOI)=100. In selected experiments, AGS cells were treated for 72 hr with 1.0 µM of 5-aza-dC (Sigma) in the absence of H. pylori.

AGS cells Pretreatment with WPE and H. pylori

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AGS cells were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA), where the cells were properly stored and routinely authenticated (including DNA fingerprinting). After resuscitation in our lab, all the cells were used no longer than 6 months. AGS cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Gibco BRL). All mediums supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco BRL) at 37°C in 5% CO2. AGS cells were pretreated with WPE for 1 h and stimulated with 100 MOI H. pylori for 48 h. The control group was loaded with the same concentration of the dissolving media of DMSO.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AGS cells (ATCC®) were grown in GibcoR RPMI 1640 medium (Life Technologies, Pasching, Austria) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Approximately 16 h prior to the experiment, the cell culture medium was replaced with fresh RPMI 1640 supplemented with 0.2% FBS. The CagA-expressing H. pylori strain P1 wild-type [11 (link), 68 (link)] was cultured on GC agar supplemented with horse serum, vancomycin, trimethoprim, nystatin and vitamins in microaerophilic conditions for 48–72 h, and then a bacterial suspension in PBS was prepared. H. pylori was added to AGS cells at a multiplicity of infection of 100. Recombinant human TNFα and IL-1β (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) were used at a final concentration of 10 ng/ml.

AGS cells were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA), where the cells were properly stored and routinely authenticated (including DNA fingerprinting). After resuscitation in our lab, all the cells were used no longer than 6 months. AGS cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Gibco BRL, Gaithersburg, MD). All mediums supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco BRL) at 37°C in 5% CO2. AGS cells were pretreated with kimchi (5 μg/ml) for 1 h and stimulated with H. pylori [100 multiplicity of infection (MOI)] for 24 h. The control group was loaded with the same concentration of the dissolving media of DMSO.

Macrophage-Modulated 5FU Cytotoxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AGS cells (ATCC, Rockville, USA) and THP-1 cells (ATCC, Rockville, USA) were plated in 96-well plates at a final concentration of 1 × 104 cells/well for 24 h before the experiments. Cells were then treated with various concentrations of 5FU for 24 h with (or without) conditioned media (CM) from M1 and M2 macrophages for 24 h. After treatment, the media in the wells were removed and replaced by fresh prewarmed media. WST-1 was added to each well and the plates were incubated at 37°C for an additional period of 4 h. The absorbance was measured using a Multiplate reader at a wavelength of 490 nm.

All the tissue culture reagents were from Invitrogen (France). AGS cells (ATCC CRL 1739) and NCI-N87 (ATCC CRL 5822) cells were routinely grown in DMEM/F12 medium, whereas MKN74 (JCRB0255), MKN28 (JCRB0253), MKN7 (JCRB1025) cells were grown in RPMI 1640 medium. Both media were supplemented with 200 mM L-glutamine and 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS). Cells were cultured at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Before being added directly in the culture media at the final concentration indicated in the figures, the conjugates were diluted in serum-free medium from a 50 mM stock solution in sterile water. The culture medium, with or without the conjugates, was changed every other day.

AGS cells stably transfected with the NF-κB reporter were also transfected with a mix of shRNAs targeting NOD1. Colonies were selected using puromycin (10 µg/mL) and tested for NOD1 expression by real-time RT-PCR and Western blot.

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.
