Hepatic stellate cell‐T6 cells (HSCs) were purchased from the Cell Bank at Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China) and the isolation of primary KCs and HSCs from rats was performed as previously described.25, 26 Cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM; HyClone, Logan, UT, USA) supplemented with penicillin (100 IU/mL), streptomycin (100 mg/mL) and 10% (vol/vol) heat‐inactivated foetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. Hepatic stellate cells were cultured for 48 hour and serum‐starved with 0.5% FBS for 24 hour before the experiments. CXCL6 and TGF‐β were purchased from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN, USA). Inhibitors (SCH‐527123, Afatinib, SB431542, JQ1, 10058‐F4 and EPZ005687) were purchased from Active Biochem (Maplewood, NJ, USA) and 1D11 was purchased from GeneTex (Irvine, CA, USA).

Lung Cancer Cell Lines Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The lung cancer cell lines A549, NCI-H358, NCI-H1792, NCI-H23, SW900 and SW1573 were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection. SK-LU-1, Calu-1, Calu-6 and NCI-H460 were provided by Takashi Takahashi (Nagoya University, Japan). RERF-LC-AD2, LU-65 and LU-99 cells were obtained from the Japanese Cell Research Bank (Osaka, Japan). HCC2108 cells were obtained from Korean Cell Line Bank (Seoul, South Korea). The NCI-H1573 and NCI-H2030 cells were provided from Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center. Cells were cultured in RPMI1640 (Invitrogen) with 10% FBS. Characteristic of cell lines used in this study were summarized in Supplementary Table S4. Cells were obtained between 2012 and 2016. Experiments using A549, SW900, LU-65 and HCC2108 cells were done within 6 months from the acquisition of these cells from cell banks. All other cell lines were tested and authenticated by short tandem repeat (STR) analysis with GenePrint 10 System (Promega) by the Japanese Cell Research Bank at the time of submission. Cells were regularly screened for Mycoplasma using a MycoAlert Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza). NVP-BGJ398, GDC-0941, ABT-263, selumetinib, afatinib, and trametinib were obtained from Active Biochem. Compounds were dissolved in DMSO to a final concentration of 10 mmol/l and stored at −20°C when not in use.

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.
