Hlmvecs

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

HLMVECs are primary human lung microvascular endothelial cells. They are isolated from the microvasculature of normal human lung tissue. HLMVECs are suitable for use in in vitro studies of lung endothelial cell biology and function.

Modulating RhoA Activity in Endothelial Cells

Plasmid DNA coding RhoA have been described previously [23 (link)]. The C16, 20, 159S triple mutant RhoA was generated by Q5® Site- Directed Mutagenesis Kit (NEB, Ipswich, MA) and confirmed by DNA sequencing. The antibody against RhoA was purchased from Cell Signaling. The G+-bacterial toxin, listeriolysin (LLO), was purified as described previously [7 (link)].
GSNOR/TRX genes were transiently silenced using siRNA. The siRNA targeting GSNOR (siRNA ID: s1071) and TRX (siRNA ID: s2) as well as validated non-targeting controls were purchased from Applied Biosystems (Carlsbad, California). Lipofectamine® RNAi- MAX transfection reagent was used to deliver the siRNA in HLMVECs (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY).

Investigating Autophagy Regulation in HLMVEC

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HLMVECs) (Cell Applications Inc., CA, USA) were cultured in EBM-2 (containing endothelial growth factor, CC3162, Lonza, MD, USA) supplemented with 5% FBS (Gibco, CA, USA) at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 95% humidity and passaged every 3–5 days. P4–P7 cells were utilized in the next stage of the experiment. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (Sigma-Aldrich, MO, USA; 10 μg/mL) treatment for 1 day was applied on HLMVECs for the in vitro model. Then, 50 μM HYP or 3 mM 3-MA was used to investigate the regulatory role of HYP on autophagy. For Atg13 silencing (si-Atg13 : 5′-AAGUCCCUUCUUGCUAUAACUAGTTCUAGUUAUAGCAAGAAGGGACUUTT-3′), siRNA against Atg13 was used to transfect into HLMVECs using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). After transfection for 48 hr, HLMVECs cells were harvested for use in 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.
