The TE-15 is a laboratory equipment designed for temperature control. It is capable of maintaining a specific temperature within a designated environment, such as an incubator or a reaction chamber. The TE-15 can be used to regulate the temperature in various experimental setups, where precise temperature control is required.

ESCC Cell Line Propagation and Conditioned Media

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three human ESCC cell lines (TE‐8, TE‐9 and TE‐15) were obtained from the RIKEN BioResource Center (Tsukuba, Japan). A short tandem repeat analysis of TE series ESCC cell lines was conducted at RIKEN and the Cell Resource Center for Biomedical Research, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan). We routinely propagated and prepared the conditioned media of TE series ESCC cell lines (TECM) as described elsewhere.13

ESCC cell lines, TE-8, TE-9, TE-10, TE-11, and TE-15, obtained from the RIKEN BioResource Center (Tsukuba, Japan), were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium (Wako, Osaka, Japan) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC® PCS-500-012TM; Manassas, VA, USA). MSCs were maintained in low-glucose DMEM (Wako) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic.

Esophageal Cell Lines for Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human EC cell lines, KYSE170 and KYSE70, were purchased from the Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources Cell Bank (Osaka, Japan). TE‐15, TE‐11, TE‐8, and TE‐2 were obtained from RIKEN Bioresource Center (Ibaraki, Japan). HUVEC was purchased from Promocell (Heidelberg, Germany). The human normal esophageal squamous epithelial cell line, HET‐1A, and human mesothelial cell line, MeT‐5A, were purchased from the ATCC (Rockville, MD, USA). These non‐tumor cell lines were used as the control. All EC cell lines, MeT‐5A, and HET‐1A, were maintained in RPMI medium (Nakalai Tisque), supplemented with 10%FBS (System Biosciences). HUVEC was cultured in an endothelial basal medium (Lonza) with endothelial growth supplement Single Quots (Lonza). All cell lines were cultured in an humidified 37°C incubator with 5% carbon dioxide.

Characterization of ESCC cell lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Five ESCC cell lines (TE-8, TE-9, TE-10, TE-11, and TE-15) were obtained from the RIKEN BioResource Center (Tsukuba, Japan).11 (link) The individuality of the TE series ESCC cell lines was confirmed by a short tandem repeat analysis at RIKEN and at the Cell Resource Center for Biomedical Research, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan). We purchased the THP-1 human acute monocytic leukemia cell line from the American Type Culture Collection (Mannasas, VA).12 (link) We routinely maintained ESCC cell lines and THP-1 cells and prepared the conditioned media of TE series ESCC cell lines (TECMs) as described.10 (link),13 (link) Mycoplasma was negative in the cell lines by Venor®GeM Classic Mycoplasma Detection kit (Minerva biolabs, Berlin, Germany). To induce macrophage (MΦ)-like differentiation, we also treated THP-1 cells with TPA (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA) (MΦ-like THP-1 cells) and TECMs for 2 days (TAM-like THP-1 cells) as described.10 (link)

Establishing ESCC and MSC cell lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three ESCC cell lines (TE-8, TE-9, and TE-15) were obtained from the RIKEN BioResource Center (Tsukuba, Japan) [15] and maintained in RPMI-1640 (Wako, Osaka, Japan) with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich) and 1% antibioticantimycotic (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). We purchased human MSCs from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA) and maintained them in DMEM low-glucose (Wako) with 10% FBS and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic. All cells were confirmed to be mycoplasma-negative by a Venor ® Gem Classic Mycoplasma Detection kit (Minerva Biolabs, Berlin, Germany). The individuality of the TE series ESCC cell lines was confirmed by a short tandem repeat (STR) analysis at RIKEN and at the Cell Resource Center for Biomedical Research, Institute of Development, Aging and Cancer, Tohoku University in 2009 and 2010 (Sendai, Japan). human MSCs were confirmed to be negative for CD14, CD31, CD34, CD45, and CD19, but positive for CD29, CD44, CD90, CD105, CD166, and CD73.

TECMs were prepared by plating 5 × 10 6 tumor cells in 10 ml complete medium in 100 mm dishes for 24 h, and thereafter changing the medium to complete DMEM (Wako) supplemented with 10% human AB serum (Lonza, Walkersville, MD, USA) instead of FBS. After 2 days, the supernatants were harvested, centrifuged, and stored in aliquots at -80 °C.

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.
