Culturing Human Lung Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells and human fetal lung fibroblast MRC-5 cells were purchased from Procell (Wuhan, China) and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% streptomycin/penicillin mixture. When reaching about 80% confluence, cells were passaged with 0.25% trypsin digestion, and plated in 12-well plates and cultured overnight. Subsequently, the medium was changed to fresh culture medium with 10% fetal bovine serum, and subjected to different treatments. A humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere was used to maintain all cell cultures at 37°C.

The MRC-5 cells were purchased from Wuhan Procell Life Technology Co., Ltd. (Wuhan, China) and cultured in minimum essential medium (MEM) containing 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin and streptomycin at 37 ℃. The cells were divided into five groups: a control group, TGF-β1 group, qi-invigorating (AR) group, blood-activation (AS) group, and qi-invigorating and blood-activation (AR + AS) group. MRC-5 cells at 5×104 cells/well were pretreated with 100 µg/mL AR, AS, or AR + AS for 1 h, and then TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL) was added to each well for 24 h. MRC-5 cells were treated with 3-methyladenine (3-MA; 1 mM; MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) for 1 h prior to TGF-β1 treatment.

Lung squamous cell carcinoma cell line (H2170 cells) (product number: CL-0394), lung adenocarcinoma cell line (A549 cells) (product number: CL-0016), and human embryonic lung cell line (MRC-5 cells) (product number: CL-0161) were obtained from Procell (Wuhan, China) and orderly maintained in Roswell Park MEMorial Institute (RPMI)-1640 medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA), Ham’s F-12K (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), or Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) plus 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Gibco) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco) at 37°C and 5% CO2. The cell culture medium was replaced when cells were cultured for 3–4 days.

Murine Melanoma Cell Line Comparison

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) A549 cells were purchased from National Infrastructure of Cell Line Resource (NSTI). Mouse melanoma B16-F10 cells were purchased from Hunan Fenghui Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Mouse melanoma B16-BL6 cells were kindly provided by Mukogawa Women's University, Japan. MRC-5 cells were purchased from Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd. HaCaT cells were obtained from CLS Cell Lines Service.
There are multiple sublines of C57BL/6 mouse melanoma cells B16 with different metastatic potentials despite their same origin. B16-BL6 is more metastatic and aggressive than B16-F10. The low metastatic subline Bl6-F10 was established by intravenous injection of B16 melanoma cells in static lung lesions, whereas the metastatic B16-F10 cells were established by 10 successive selections for metastasis following iv injection. Highly metastatic B16-BL6 cells were established by penetrating mouse bladder membranes with B16-F10 cells.

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.
