Vascular Cells Senescence Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human primary VSMC and EC were purchased from ATCC or from Lonza. VSMCs were cultured in Vascular Cell Basal Medium (ATCC, LGC, Manassass, USA) supplemented as defined by the manufacturer. ECs were cultured in Vascular Cell Basal Medium (ATCC, LGC, Manassass, USA) supplemented as defined by the manufacturer. All cells were kept in humidified atmosphere (37°C and 5% CO2 in the air). The cells were passaged every 3-4 days and were seeded 24 hours before treatment at a density of 3-3,5×103 cells/cm2 (VSMCs) and 10×103 cells/cm2 (ECs). Cells at early passages (5-9) was described as young cells, at passages 10-14 as middle passage, at late passages (15-19) as senescent cells and cells at passages 20 or more as extremely senescent. Cell morphology was analyzed in an inverted light microscope Nikon. Curcumin was dissolved in DMSO and the final concentration of DMSO in cell culture did not exceed 0.1%. Doxorubicin was dissolved in the medium.

Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human aortic VSMCs, vascular cell basal medium and smooth muscle growth supplement (SMGS) were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA). SMGS constituents and their final concentrations after addition to vascular cell basal medium were as follows: 5% FBS (vol/vol), 5 ng/ml human basic fibroblast growth factor, 5 ng/ml human epidermal growth factor, 5 μg/ml insulin, 50 μg/mL ascorbic acid, 10 mM L-Glutamine. VSMCs (passages 3-5) were incubated in vascular cell basal medium containing SMGS (complete medium) and 5.5 mM D-glucose along with antibiotic/antimycotic solution in a humidified atmosphere of 95% air and 5% CO2 at 37°C. After the attainment of confluence (~6-7 days), VSMCs were trypsinized, centrifuged, and seeded onto petri dishes or multiwell plates. Subconfluent VSMCs were maintained under SMGS (serum)-deprived conditions for 48 hours to achieve quiescence, and then subjected to treatments as described in the legends to the respective figures. DMSO (0.1%) was used as the vehicle control for PIO or ROSI treatment.

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.
