Human cell lines derived from OSCC HSC-3 and HSC-4 cells were obtained from Riken BRC Cell Bank (Tsukuba, Japan). To analyze the association between SOX9 expression and metastasis, two cell lines, namely HSC-3, a metastatic cell line that was established from the metastatic lymph node of a 63-year-old man with poorly differentiated SCC and HSC-4, a non-metastatic cell line that was established from a metastatic lymph node in a 63-year-old man with well-differentiated SCC, were selected (21 (link)). The cells were maintained in Minimum Essential Medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) under a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2 and 95% air at 37°C.

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.
