NRF2 Knockout in Renal Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RPTECs were grown and maintained in renal epithelial cell basal medium (PCS-400-030; ATCC) using the renal epithelial cell growth kit (PCS-400-040; ATCC) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. RPTECs for NRF2 KO were transfected with 0, 25, 50, and 100nM NRF2 siRNA (Silence® Select siRNA, s9491, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) using Lipofectamine RNAiMAX reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 24 h, and NRF2 expression was measured after siRNA treatment (Figure S3).

Isolating and Analyzing Proximal Tubular Cells from Kidney-Specific GLUT2 Knockout Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We isolated primary proximal tubular epithelial cells from mice with Glut2 knocked out specifically in the kidneys (Ks-Glut2 KO mice) and their littermate controls using a published protocol [33 (link)]. We cultured the cells in collagen-coated six-well plates (106 cells/well; A1142801; Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) in renal epithelial cell basal medium (PCS-400-030; ATCC, USA) supplemented with the renal epithelial cell growth kit (PCS-400-040; ATCC). Two days after initiating the culture of these cells, we used them for either gene expression measurements or glucose transport assay. For gene expression studies, we transfected the cells with Hnf1α-expressing plasmid (MC202766; OriGene Technologies, USA), control plasmid (PCMV6KN; OriGene Technologies) or Glut2-expressing plasmid (MG208388; OriGene Technologies) using TurboFectin transfection reagent (TF81001; OriGene Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Three days after the transfection, we extracted the RNA and used RT-qPCR to measure the mRNA levels of Glut2, Sglt2 and Hnf1α.

Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Human Proximal Tubular Epithelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human PTECs (ATCC PCS-400-010) were cultured in renal epithelial cell basal medium (ATCC PCS400030™) plus 0.5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), according to the manufacturer’s suggestion. HK-2 cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). HK-2 cells were cultured in keratinocyte-SFM (GIBCO) with supplemented 2% FBS. Cells were cultured under normoxia (O2, 21%) and hypoxia (O2, 1%).
The characteristics of EMT in human PTECs were identified by serial observations of their morphological changes using light microscopy (Nikon ECLIPSE TE20000-S, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Primary proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) of a DM patient and a normal individual (Lonza Walkersville Inc., Walkersville, MD, USA) were cultured in Clonetics REGM BulletKit (CC-3190). Human PTECs (ATCC PCS-400-010) were cultured in Renal Epithelial Cell Basal Medium (ATCC PCS400030) plus 0.5% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), according to the manufacturer’s suggestion. Cells were treated with normal glucose (NG, 6.2 mM) and HG (30 mM) for the indicated times. Human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells (ATCC® CRL-1573) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA) and were cultured in DMEM containing 10% FBS.

Culturing cell lines for drug screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All cell lines except for HepG2 except and the gene-edited MEFs43 (link) were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). HepG2 cell identity was estimated to be 100% by the Centre for Translational Research and Diagnostics of the National University of Singapore. All cell lines were cultured in high glucose DMEM (Nacalai, Kyoto, Japan) supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Primary renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (PRETEC) (ATCC, PCS-400-010) were cultured in the recommended media (ATCC, PCS-400-030 and PCS-400-040) and used within tenfold expansion in cell number. GSK-J4 (12073) and CPI-455 (22127) were obtained from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA). Tunicamycin (T-7765) was from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA). Cycloheximide and actinomycin D were from FUJIFILM Wako (Osaka, Japan). The final DMSO concentration was adjusted to 0.2% in all experiments with inhibitor 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.
