Pesticide Exposure Effects on BM-MSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three doses of pesticides were used. The first was the high nutritional daily intake (hNDI), calculated for the French population of all ages and corresponding to the lowest doses of pesticides used in our study. The second was the ADI, which is the threshold of safety in humans for lifetime exposure. The last was a value of three times the ADI (3ADI).
BM-MSCs were amplified as previously described [20 (link)]. Briefly, they were cultured in 150 cm2 flasks (Corning® cell culture flask, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 3 weeks (37 °C, 5% CO2) in α-MEM supplemented with FGF2 (1 ng/mL, R&D system, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and were tested at passages 2 to 4 (2000–4000 cells/cm2). This medium, supplemented with pesticides (hNDI, ADI and 3ADI), was renewed every 3 days. The doses of pesticides used (chlorpyrifos ethyl, dimethoate, diazinon, iprodione, imazalil, maneb and mancozeb; Sigma-Aldrich) were extrapolated, for each pesticide, from 3 values according to previous studies (Table S2) [9 (link),10 (link)].

Fungal Strain Cultivation and Fungicide Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
B. cinerea strain B05.10 was obtained from the VTT culture collection (http://culturecollection.vtt.fi, ref. D-071295). To prepare conidial suspension, a mycelial disc of B. cinerea was inoculated onto malt extract agar (Oxoid, Basingstoke, UK) plates and incubated for 2 weeks at 22ºC. The conidia were harvested by flooding the cultures with sterile distilled water or potato dextrose broth (PDB; BD Biosciences, Spark, MD, USA), rubbing the surface with a spreader, and then filtered through four sheets of Miracloth (Chicopee Mills Inc., Milltown, NJ, USA). Schizophyllum commune KUC9080 isolated from a soil of Gurye, Korea was used to construct a microbial culture extract library. The KUC9080 strain was maintained on potato dextrose agar (PDA) plates. Tebuconazole and chlorothalonil were obtained from Kyung Nong Co. Ltd (Seoul, Korea), and boscalid, dichlofluanid, fenhexamid, fludioxonil, iprodione, difenoconazole, fenarimol, fenbuconazole, fenpropimorph, imazalil, and prochloraz in this study were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

AFST with 14-α demethylation inhibiting fungicides (DMIs) was performed following the EUCAST methodology as described before. Environmental DMIs tested for microdilution assay were two imidazole drugs, imazalil and prochloraz; and five triazole drugs, tebuconazole, epoxiconazole, difenoconazole, bromuconazole and metconazole, all of them purchased at Sigma-Aldrich Química, Madrid, Spain. The final concentrations of each azole drug tested ranged from 0.06 to 32 mg/L. MICs were visually read as described before. Clinical breakpoints for DMIs have not been standardized yet so wild-type strain MICs were considered as susceptible.

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.
