The cell line used in this study was a SW-13 human adrenocortical tumor cell line obtained from ATCC (Manassas, Virginia). These cells form numerous large gap junctions that are spontaneously internalized to form annular gap junction vesicles (Murray et al., 1981 (link)). As previously described, the cells were grown at 37°C under 5% CO2 in Leibovitz’s L15-medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY) containing 200 U/ml penicillin, 200 μg/ml streptomycin, 5mg/ml fungizone (Amphotericin B), and 10% fetal calf serum (GIBCO, Grand Island, NY) (Defranco et al., 2008 (link)).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human adrenal normal cell line (Y1) and ACC cell lines (SW-13, NCI-H295R) were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, USA) and cultured in DMEM (Gibco, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 100 U/mL penicillin-100 μg/mL streptomycin (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C.
Full-length cDNAs of human AKR1B10 (overexpression-AKR1B10, Oe-AKR1B10) or HOXA5 (Oe-HOXA5) were cloned into the pcDNA3.1 vector (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). A pcDNA3.1 empty vector was used as a negative control (Oe-NC). The short hairpin RNA (shRNA) against HOXA5 (shRNA-HOXA5) and negative control shRNA (shRNA-NC) were designed and synthesized by GeneScript (Nanjing, China). NCI-H295R cells in logarithmic growth phase were selected and seeded in the 6-well plates. Cell transfection was performed when the cell confluence was up to 50%-60% according to the instructions of Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, USA). Following 48 h of transfection, the cells were collected for subsequent experiments.

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.
