A HEK cell line stably transfected with human TrkB was a gift from M. V. Chao (New York University). Cells were cultured in a 5% CO 2 atmosphere at 37°C in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) with GlutaMAX (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Premium Select, Atlanta Biologicals), penicillin (100 U/ml) and streptomycin (100 mg/ml) (Life Technologies), and G418 sulfate (200 mg/ml) (MP Biomedicals).
SH-SY5Y cells were cultured in DMEM and Nutrient Mixture F-12 (HAM) [DMEM/F-12 (1:1)] (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% FBS (Premium Select, Atlanta Biologicals), penicillin (100 U/ml), and streptomycin (100 mg/ml) (Life Technologies). To perform the experiments, cells were seeded in 24-well plates (2 × 10 5 cells per well) and incubated for 48 hours, and then the cells were washed with phosphatebuffered saline (PBS) and incubated for 48 hours in DMEM/F12 (1:1) supplemented with 4% FBS, penicillin (100 U/ml), streptomycin (100 mg/ml), and 10 mM all-trans-retinoic acid (Sigma). Before treatment with compounds, cells were incubated for at least 6 hours in medium without all-trans-retinoic acid.

MDA-MB-231 Cell Stimulation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-231, was maintained in Dulbecco’s minimal essential medium (DMEM) (Corning cellgro), supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS, Atlanta Biologicals Premium Select Heat inactivated at 56°C, Cat#S11550H Lot # H12123) and 1 × L-glutamine, penicillin, and streptomycin (Gibco). To prepare MDA-MB-231 cells for stimulation, the cells (1 × 106 cells/ml in DMEM/10% FCS) were incubated in polystyrene round tubes at 37 °C for 15 min. The cells were centrifuged at 1,200 × g for 5 min, and resuspended in DMEM/10% FCS containing 2 ng/ml IFNγ. The cells were stimulated for 10 min at 37 °C, centrifuged, washed once in PBS to stop the reaction, and prepared for FACS analysis.

Isolation and Characterization of Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Excess adipose tissue was collected from five female premenopausal donors (ages 24 to 36) in accordance with an approved IRB protocol at UNC Chapel Hill (IRB 04-1622) [13 (link)]. Human ASC were isolated from the tissue as previously described by our lab and others [14 (link)–16 (link)]. Cells were expanded in complete growth medium (CGM) comprised of alpha-modified minimal essential medium (α-MEM with L-glutamine) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad CA), 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Premium Select, Atlanta Biologicals, Lawrenceville GA), 200 mM L-glutamine, and 100 I.U. penicillin/100 μg/mL streptomycin (Mediatech, Herndon VA). The cells were cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2 until reaching 80% confluency and then passaged using trypsin-EDTA (Invitrogen). A superlot was generated by pooling equal numbers of cells from the five individual donor cell lines into a single culture vessel and characterized for multilineage differentiation potential, ensuring the cells differentiated representative of an average of the five cell lines [13 (link)].

Caco-2 cells were seeded at an initial density of 200,000 cells/cm2 in the upper chamber of 6.5 mm insert Transwell (Costar; Corning Incorporated, Kennebunk, ME.) Approximately 0.25 ml of MEM (Minimum Essential Medium Eagle with Earle’s salts and L-glutamine, Corning Cellgro #10-010-CV) containing 20 % Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS; Premium Select, Atlanta Biologicals), 100 mM Sodium Pyruvate (ThermoFisher), Pen/Strep (Hyclone), Amphotericin B (Sigma) and Gentamicin (Sigma). The bottom well contained 0.5 ml MEM. The cells were incubated in a CO2 incubator at 37°C for 5 days, with a change of medium every second day until they formed a high transepithelial resistance (TER) monolayer of 500 Ω×cm2 or higher. TER was measured using a voltohmmeter (World Precision Instruments) where the measured resistance in Ohms was multiplied by the area of the Transwell filter (0.33 cm2).

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.
