ATCC (Beijing Beina Chuanglian Biotechnology Institute) provided U-87 and U-251 human glioma cell lines, which were then incubated in F12 and DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, United States), respectively. Both cell lines were kept in a humidified incubator and maintained at 37°C with 5% carbon dioxide. The negative control (NC) and FOXD3-AS1 siRNA (Thermofisher, United States) were transfected into the glioma cells utilizing Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, United States) according to the manufacturer’s guidelines.

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.
