Human OS cells (HOS, MG-63, N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG)/HOS and 143B) and human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). All cell lines were authenticated by DNA short tandem repeat profiling and experiments were conducted within 6 months of resuscitation. OS cells were maintained in DMEM medium containing 10% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals, Lawrenceville, GA, USA), 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), while HUVECs were maintained in 200PRF medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with low serum growth supplement (Invitrogen). All cell cultures were maintained at 37°C with 5% CO2. 143B cells were serum starved overnight and treated with KN-93 (10 μM) and/or CBO-P11 (1μM) (Millipore) for 24 hours [14 (link)].

3D Co-Culture of HUVECs and Duct Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were grown in M-200 supplemented medium with low-serum growth supplement (Invitrogen) for 48 h before use. HUVECs were embedded in a collagen gel, and plated on a culture plate. Once the collagen polymerised (by keeping the plate at 37°C in a CO2 incubator for 10–15 min), the same number of purified primary duct cells (infected with shVegf or shCtr), or a piece of microdissected duct, was added to the culture plate. An additional 100–200 μl of collagen was layered on top of the existing gel and epithelium and the plate was returned to the CO2 incubator. The medium was replenished every day, and culture images were taken after 3 days.

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs; cat. no. CRL-1730™) and normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDFs; cat. no. PCS-201-012™) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection, while HaCaT epidermal keratinocytes were provided by Professor Tae Yoon Kim from the College of Medicine of The Catholic University of Korea. All the cell lines used in this study were tested for mycoplasma contamination and used in experiments between passage numbers 5 and 10. HaCaT cells were cultured in high-glucose DMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin. HUVECs were cultured in M200 medium (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) supplemented with 20% FBS and 1% low-serum growth supplement (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). NHDFs were cultured in fibroblast medium (ScienCell Research Laboratories, Inc.). Cultures were at all times incubated in a humidified atmosphere at 37°C and 5% CO2 unless stated otherwise.

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.
