Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCKII, Sigma-Aldrich/Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) cells were used for the cultivation of virus and virus titration. Homo sapiens pharynx carcinoma cells (Detroit 562, CLS, Eppelheim, Germany) were used for adherence assays and VOC analysis.
The MDCKII cells were maintained in MEM medium (Sigma-Aldrich/Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) with 2 mM L-glutamine and 5% fetal bovin serum (v/v, FBS, Sigma-Aldrich/Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) and the Detroit cells were cultivated in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, Gibco, Thermofischer, Darmstadt, Germany) with 10% FBS.
Both cell lines were incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. For the VOC analysis, two glass petri dishes with Detroit cells were prepared in DMEM.

The protective effects of the isolated compounds were evaluated on the defense effect of SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells (Chinese Academy of Science Committee Type Culture Collection Cell, Bank, Shanghai, China) against H2O2-induced cytotoxicity. The SH-SY5Y cells were maintained in MEM medium (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in a humid atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air at 37 °C, then the cells were treated with 350 μM H2O2 for 24 h. The conventional MTT colorimetric assay was applied to measure the neuroblastoma cell viability, and we used the cells without pre-treatment as the control. The SH-HY5Y cells were plated into 96-well plates at a density of 1 × 104 per well and incubated for 24 h. The experimental groups were maintained in MEM supplemented with 1 μM of the obtained depsides 112 at the same condition of the control groups for 15 min, then they were exposed to 350 μM H2O2 for 24 h. Each group was further incubated with MTT (Sigma-Alarich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for another 4 h, the supernatant was removed after that, the crystals were dissolved in DMSO. The optical density of each well was evaluated by a microplate reader (BIO-RAD Model 680, Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) at 492 nm.

Rainbow trout RBCs were obtained and purified as previously described (4 (link), 7 (link)). Briefly, RBCs extracted from the caudal vein were purified by 2 successive Ficoll density gradient centrifugations (7,206 g, Ficoll 1.007; Sigma-Aldrich, Madrid, Spain). Ficoll-purified RBCs were maintained in 25 cm2 flasks (Nunc Roskilde, Denmark) with RPMI-1640 medium (Dutch modification) (Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Carlsbad, CA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) gamma irradiated (Cultek, Madrid, Spain), 1 mM pyruvate (Gibco), 2 mM L-glutamine (Gibco), 50 μg/mL gentamicin (Gibco), 2 μg/mL fungizone (Gibco), 100 U/mL penicillin (Sigma-Aldrich), and 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich) at 14°C for 24 h prior to experimentation.
The RTG-2 (rainbow trout gonad-2) cell line was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC 50643) and maintained at 21°C in MEM medium (Sigma-Aldrich) containing 10% FBS, 1 mM pyruvate, 2 mM L-glutamine, 50 μg/mL gentamicin, and 2 μg/mL fungizone.

Blocking solution prepared in 0.3% Triton X100 contained 1% Bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich) and 5% horse serum (Sigma-Aldrich). A rabbit anti-Collagen 1 polyclonal (Catalogue number ab21286; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) was used as a primary antibody at a dilution of 1:100 for 4 hours in RT. Highly cross adsorbed anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (Sigma-Aldrich) was used as secondary antibody at a 1:200 dilution. Pictures were taken using a laser scanning microscope (Zeiss, LSM 510).

All other cancer cell lines were acquired from ATCC. HPAF-II was cultured in MEM medium (Sigma); AsPC-1, A2780, PC3, and 4T1 were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Sigma).
All the culture media, except for the cancer stem-like cell medium, were supplemented with 1% penicillin-streptomycin-glutamine (PSG) and 10% of FBS. Cancer stem-like cells were cultured in DMEM/F-12 medium (Sigma) supplemented as previously described and treated according to the protocol [29 (link)].

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.
