Pre-adipocyte 3T3-L1 cells were grown in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco), 2 mM glutamine (Wisent) and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Biobasic). For adipogenic differentiation of 3T3L1, the cells were plated at confluency and media was changed to induction media containing 10% FBS, 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin, 1 μM Dexamethasone, 1 μg/ml Insulin and 500 μM IBMX (Sigma). Two days post-induction, the medium was changed to maintenance media containing 10% FBS (Gibco), 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Biobasic), 1 μg/ml Insulin. After 3 days post-induction, 10,000 cells were plated on homemade chambers for sorting.
Mouse Embryonic Stem cell (mES) culture mES cells were grown in DMEM medium supplemented with 15% FBS (embryonic stem cell qualified, Wisent), 1 X non-essential amino acids (Sigma), 100 μM 2-Mercaptoethanol (Gibco), 1000 Units/mL Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF, Stemcell), 2 mM glutamine (Wisent) and 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Biobasic) on 0.1% porcine gelatin-coated plastic dishes (Sigma).

LMH cells (ATCC CRL-2117) or spontaneously immortalized chicken embryonic hepatocytes (siCEH22 (link)) were grown on 0.1% gelatin-coated culture dishes in Waymouth’s media (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), supplemented with 10% FBS (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (BioBasic, Amherst, NY) at 37 °C, in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air. At ~ 80% confluence, cells were synchronized with serum-free media overnight and treated with different doses (0, 10, and 100 nM) of recombinant human ORX-A or ORX-B (Alpha Diagnostic International, San Antonio, TX) for 24 h. The dose of orexins was selected based on pilot and previous studies16 (link),20 (link),23 (link),24 (link). 30 min before orexin treatments, LMH cells were incubated with brefeldin A (0.3 µg/mL) for 24 h and lysates and medium were subjected to immunoblot analyses. All culture experiments were performed with cells from passages 10–15 and repeated at least twice.

Enrichment and Culture of Schwann Cells from Rat Sciatic Nerve

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Schwann cells (SCs) were enriched from pre-degenerated sciatic nerves of adult Sprague-Dawley rats as described in a previous study by our group (24 (link)). The protocol is based on SC proliferation after Wallerian degeneration, combined use of collagenase/dispase and mitogen in culture medium. In brief, the sciatic nerves were ligated to allow the nerves to pre-degenerate. The pre-degenerated nerves ~20 mm in length were cut into 1-mm pieces. The minced nerves were enzymatically dissociated using an enzyme mixture of 0.05% collagenase/dispase (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)/F12 (Gibco-BRL, Invitrogen Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 5.5 h at 37°C. Following dissociation, the cell suspension was centrifuged at 200 x g for 10 min. The dissociated SCs were re-suspended and cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Kibbutz BeitHaemek, Israel), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (BioBasic), 2 µM forskolin (0.8 µg/l; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) and 20 µg/l bovine pituitary extract (Sigma-Aldrich). After the cultures reached confluence, they were used for graft procedures.

Spontaneous immortalized chicken embryo liver cells (sim-CEL, Piekarski et al., 2014 (link)) were grown in Waymouth's media (Life Technology, Waltham, MA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies, Waltham, MA), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Biobasic, Amherst, NY) at 37°C under a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 and 95% air. At 80–90% confluency, cells were exposed to two environmental conditions (45°C vs. 37°C) and two treatments (50 μM quercetin, QCT vs. control) for 4 h. The dose of QCT was selected based on pilot and previous studies (Dok-Go et al., 2003 (link); Martirosyan et al., 2016 (link); Wang et al., 2017 (link))

A549 and HEK293T cell lines were obtained from Iranian biological resource center (IBRC, Iran). NT2 cells were gifted by Dr. Andrews’s lab. A549 and NT2 Cells were cultured in high glucose Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) and HEK293T cells were grown in DMED/F12 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), supplied with 10% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Bio Basic, Canada) and incubated in 37 °C with 5% humified CO2. hESC-RH5 was obtained from Royan Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Technology (RI-SCBT, Iran) and was cultivated as described previously44 .
For investigating the effects of dexamethasone treatment on the expression of targeted genes, cells were seeded in 24-well plates (SPL Life Sciences, South Korea). After complete adhesion, cells were treated with the EC50 concentration of dexamethasone and were lysed for RNA extraction at different time points.

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.
