Human bronchial epithelial cells BEAS-2B cells (Sigma) were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM L-glutamine, penicillin (100 U/ml), and streptomycin (100 U/ml) in 5% CO2 and humid air at 37°C. Human small airway epithelial cells SAECs (Lonza) were maintained in Small Airway Epithelial Cell Growth Medium (SAGM; basal medium plus growth supplements, Lonza). Cells were used between passage 4 and 10. Cells were exposed to CSE (0.25% for SAECs and 0.5% for BEAS-2B based on their viability) for 24 hours in the presence or absence of 5-Aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (AICAR, 1 mM, Sigma) and Compound C (5 μM, Sigma).

Alveolar Epithelial Cell Responses to Inflammatory Stimuli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two human AECs (type II alveolar epithelial cell line [A549] and primary small airway epithelial cells [SAECs]) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). A549 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco), and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco). SAECs were cultured in AEC basal medium (ATCC) plus bronchial epithelial cell growth kit (ATCC), 1% penicillin-streptomycin, and 25 ng/mL amphotericin B (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).
SAECs (1 × 105) or A549 cells (2 × 105) were stimulated with poly I:C (1 or 10 µg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich), IL-13 (10 or 100 ng/mL; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), or phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-induced EETs (100 ng/mL) for 24 hours or cocultured with 5 × 105 peripheral blood eosinophils (PBEs) from asthmatics for 18 hours. AECs were pretreated with 1 or 10 µg/mL dexamethasone (Dex; Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 minutes to evaluate its suppressive effect. Supernatants were collected for ELISA.

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.
