Culturing ER+ Breast Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ER+, endocrine sensitive MCF-7 and T47D cells were routinely cultured in glutamine-supplemented RPMI medium (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK), supplemented with 5% foetal calf serum (FCS), antibiotics (10I U/ml penicillin and 10 μg/ml streptomycin) and fungi-zone (2.5 μg/ml), and incubated at 37°C with 5% carbon dioxide. For experimental analysis, the medium was changed to experimental medium, containing phenol-red-free RPMI supplemented with 5% FCS, 100 mM glutamine and antibiotics as above. For estrogen withdrawal conditions (-E2) the FCS within the experimental medium was replaced with 5% charcoal-stripped, steroid-depleted FCS, while for anti-estrogen and hormone treatments the medium was supplemented with 10-9 M estradiol (E2), 10-7 M 4-hydroxytamoxifen (‘Tam’) or 10-7 M fulvestrant (‘Fas’). All tissue culture media and constituents were obtained from Life Technology Europe Ltd (Paisley, UK) and tissue culture plasticware was obtained from Nunc (Rosklide, Denmark).

Culturing Brain Microvascular Endothelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ECs were cultured on tissue culture plasticware (Nunc, Roskilde, Denmark) coated with polymerized collagen I (BD Biosciences, Oxford, U.K.). The immortalized rat brain MVEC line GPNT was maintained as previously described (10 (link)). Primary cultures of rat brain MVECs (23 (link)) and the human brain MVEC line hCMEC/D3 (24 (link)) were cultured in EGM2-MV medium (Lonza, Slough, U.K.). Human dermal MVEC (PromoCell) were cultured on tissue culture plasticware coated with gelatin (Sigma) and maintained in EC growth media MV2 (PromoCell). Quality of EC cultures was routinely assessed by visual inspection and transendothelial electrical resistance (TEER) measurements (23 (link)). Importantly, none of the treatments (pharmacological antagonists or transfections) had any effect on EC monolayer integrity.

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.
