Mixed cells (FaDu: HF: THP-1 = 2 × 104:1 × 104:1 × 104) were cultured in the conventional 6-well cell culture plate (2D-4-culture) and 6-well SPL3D cell floater plate (3D-4-culture) respectively, with high-glucose DMEM medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS (all from KeyGEN BioTECH). Single HUVECs were seeded in Transwell inserts at a density of 1 × 104 cells, with high-glucose DMEM medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS (all from KeyGEN BioTECH). To quantify the number of migrated HUVECs, images from three different fields of view were captured and analyzed using Image J software (version 1.51j8).

The MSCs derived from bone marrow were obtained from 60 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (aged 8 weeks), and they were identified based on their surface phenotypes and multipotency, as previously described13 (link),19 (link). The bone marrow in the rat femur was flushed with low-glucose Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM; KeyGEN, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; KeyGEN). The bone marrow fluid was put into 10 ml centrifuge tubes, and 3 ml phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; KeyGEN) was added. Then, it was centrifuged for 10 min at 1000 r/min. The supernatant was abandoned, and the remaining cells were washed twice with PBS and spun at 1000 r/min for 10 min. After washing, 5 ml DMEM was added to the cell suspension, and then the cells were cultured in culture dishes with 5% carbon dioxide (CO2)/95% air at 37 °C. When the cells reached 80% to 90% confluence, they were resuspended by trypsin. The subculture was plated at about 2 × 106 cells per dish. MSCs from passages 3 to 4 were used for all experiments.

Modulation of Oxol-LDL-Induced VSMC Dysfunction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM; KeyGEN Biotech, Nanjing, China) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; KeyGEN Biotech) was placed in an incubator at 37 ℃ with 5% CO2 to culture human VSMCs (iCell Bioscience Inc., Shanghai, China). The VSMCs of passage 4 were used in the following experiments. To construct an in vitro cell model of AS, VMSCs were treated with 50 mg/L oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL; Biosynthesis Biotechnology Company, Beijing, China) for 24 hours. To evaluate the impacts of Sar on ox-LDL-treated VSMCs, VSMCs were pretreated by Sar (1, 2, or 4 µM; Aladdin, Shanghai, China) for 24 hours prior to incubation with 50 mg/L ox-LDL.

Establishment of Radioresistant NPC Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human NPC cell lines (CNE1, CNE2, and CNE1‐LMP1) were a gift from the Cancer Research Institute of Central South University (Changsha, China). The CNE2‐radioresistance (CNE2R) cell line was constructed from a poorly differentiated CNE2 cell line by exposing to progressively increasing radiation over the course of 6 months. Briefly, CNE2 cells were irradiated every 2 weeks with 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy, and each dose was repeated for three times so that the CNE2 cells were exposed to a total dose of 60 Gy. CNE2 and CNE2R cell lines have been authenticated using STR DNA profiling analysis. All NPC cell lines were cultured in RPMI‐1640 medium (KeyGEN, Jiangsu, China) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) and 1% penicillin‐streptomycin solution (Hyclone, Thermo Scientific, Marietta, OH, USA) at 37°C in 5% CO2. Human breast carcinoma cell line MCF7 and lung cancer cell line A549 were maintained in our laboratory and grown in DMEM medium (KeyGEN, Jiangsu, China) containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin‐streptomycin solution at 37°C in 5% CO2.

All cells were maintained at 37 °C with 5% CO2. The cell lines were donated by the State Key Laboratory of Oncogenes and Related Genes of Shanghai Cancer Institute, and were recently authenticated by STR profiling and tested for mycoplasma contamination.

Oxidative Stress Response in PC12 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PC12 cells were purchased from The Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and were cultured in high-glucose DMEM (Nanjing KeyGen Biotech Co., Ltd.) supplemented with 10% FBS (cat. no. 16000-044; Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin solution at 37˚C and 5% CO2. The cells were digested with 0.25% trypsin containing EDTA and passaged. When the cells reached 80% density, following 10 h of serum starvation, different concentrations of H2O2 or AVLE were added to the medium to screen for the optimum concentration. To evaluate the effect of AVLE on oxidative stress, the PC12 cells were pre-treated with AVLE for 2 h before subsequent experimentation and continued with treatment in the corresponding groups. To inhibit autophagy, cells were treated with 3-methyladenine (3-MA, 5 mM) prior to AVLE treatment.

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.
