Characterization of Head and Neck Cancer Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two human head and neck cancer cell lines (FaDu and CAL-27), the human embryonic kidney cell line 293T and the mouse embryo fibroblast cell line NIH3T3 were originally obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). The human head and neck cancer cell line SAS and the human umbilical vein endothelial cells were purchased from Bioresource Collection and Research Center of Taiwan (Hsinchu City, Taiwan). The human head and neck cancer cell line OECM-1 was kindly provided by Dr Kuo-Wei Chang (National Yang-Ming University, Taipei, Taiwan). The cell lines were not authenticated recently, and they had been confirmed without mycoplasma contamination. The expression vectors pcDNA3-myc-FBXL14 and pcDNA3-FBXL14ΔF were gifts from Professor Víctor M Díaz (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain). pCDH-Twist1 was generated by inserting full-length complementary DNA (NM_000474.3) into pCDH-CMV-MCS-EF1-puro.

PSC-MSCs were derived and characterized as previously reported [10 (link)]. ES-MSCs were derived from HSF-6 (University of California, San Francisco) and H1 (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation) [46 (link), 47 (link)]. iPS-MSCs were derived from iPS which were generated by two methods: (1) Sendai Virus induction (Sendai Reprogramming Kit; Invitrogen-Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) with all four Yamanaka factors into human peripheral blood mononuclear cells as per manufacturer's and published protocols [48 (link)] for iPS-MSC clones 1 and 2; and (2) lentiviral induction with Oct-4 and Sox-2 into human umbilical vein endothelial cells (Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Hsinchu, Taiwan) as previously reported [49 (link)] for iPS-MSC clone 3. BM-MSCs were obtained commercially (Promocell, Heidelberg, Germany) and cultured as previously described [4 (link)]. All MSCs were cultured with complete medium consisting of DMEM-low glucose supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin, 1% L-glutamine (all from Gibco-Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, selected lots from Hyclone-Thermo Fisher Scientific) and expanded as previously described [10 (link)].

HUVEC Isolation and Culture Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were purchased from Bioresource Collection and Research Center, Hsinchu, Taiwan. The culture method was modified from protocol described by Gupta et al. [30 (link)]. Briefly, HUVECs were cultured on a 1% gelatin (Sigma, MO, USA)-coated T75 flask, maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium/Nutrient Mixture F-12 (Life Technologies, NY, USA) supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum (Thermo, Logan, UT), 1 μg/ml hydrocortisone (Sigma, MO, USA), 5 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (PeproTech, NJ, USA), 10 ng/ml FGF-2 (PeproTech, NJ, USA), 20 μg/ml heparin sulfate (Sigma, MO, USA), 250 ng/ml insulin (Sigma, MO, USA), and 1× penicillin-streptomycin solution (Thermo, Logan, UT) at 37 °C and 5% CO2. When cells reached 80–90% confluence, they were detached using HyQtase (Thermo, Logan, UT) and replated at a ratio of 1:3.

Investigating Far-Infrared Radiation Effects on Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells purchased from the Bioresource Collection and Research Center were cultured in 90% medium 199 with 25 U/ml heparin and 30 μg/ml endothelial cell growth supplement (ECGS) adjusted to contain 1.5 g/L sodium bicarbonate with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). The prostate cancer cells (PC‐3 and DU145) and lung cancer A549 cells were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and cultured in RPMI‐1640 and Dulbecco's Modified Eagles Medium (DMEM) with 10% FBS, respectively. In the Cis + FIRx1 group, the cells were treated with cisplatin for 30 minutes, followed by FIR irradiation with WS TY101 FIR emitter for 30 minutes. In the Cis + FIRx2 group, the HUVECs or cancer cells were treated with cisplatin for 30 minutes, followed by exposure to FIR for 30 minutes twice with an interval of 2 hours between the two exposures. For some hypoxic tests, DU145 cells were incubated in a hypoxic chamber flushed with a gas mixture of 94% N2, 5% CO2, and 1% O2.

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.
