Culturing Pancreatic Cancer Cell Lines
PANC-1 and MIAPaCa-2 cells were grown in DMEM (Sigma-Aldrich, Dublin, Ireland) supplemented with 5% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Thermo Fischer Scientific, UK) and 2% L-glutamine. BxPC-3 cells were grown in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 5% (v/v) FBS. PIN-127 cells were cultured in DMEM/F-12 Hams medium supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS (Corning, SA). Cells were grown in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO 2 at 37℃ in culture flasks. Cells were sub-cultured, using PBS to wash and trypsin-EDTA (Bio-Sciences Ltd, Ireland) to detach when cells reached 80-90% confluency.
Cell Line Maintenance and Passage
The medium MEM (M2279, Sigma, UK) with added L-glutamine (2 mM), essential amino acids (1 %) and foetal calf serum (10 %) was used for the MCF7, ALT and WI38 cell lines. To passage the cells, they were washed with PBS (GIBCO 14040, Invitrogen, UK), treated with trypsine (GIBCO 25300, Invitrogen, UK), and re-seeded into fresh medium, resulting in an initial cell density of approximately 1x10 4 cells/mL medium. Cells were counted using a Neubauer haemocytometer (Assistant, Germany) by microscopy or a MacsQuant flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotech, Germany) on a suspension of cells obtained by washing with PBS, trypsinisation, centrifugation at 8 °C at 8000 rpm for 3 minutes, and re-suspension in fresh medium.
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.
