Smgm 2 bulletkit media

Manufactured by Lonza
Sourced in Japan

The SmGM-2 BulletKit media is a cell culture medium formulated by Lonza specifically for the growth and maintenance of smooth muscle cells. It provides the necessary nutrients and growth factors to support the proliferation and survival of these cells in an in vitro setting. The composition of the media is optimized to support the specific requirements of smooth muscle cells.

The PASMC line was purchased from Lonza (Swiss) and cultured in SmGM-2 BulletKit media (Lonza) containing 5% fetal bovine serum (FBS), growth factors, and antibiotics. Cells were incubated under 5% CO 2 at 37℃. PASMCs were exposed to hypoxia (1% O 2 , 5% CO 2 , and 1% FBS) for 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h. The initial number of cells in each group was kept the same.

Human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (hPASMCs), purchased from Cascade Biologics Inc (Portland, Oregon, USA), were cultured with SmGM‐2 BulletKit media (Lonza Japan, Tokyo, Japan) supplemented with 5% foetal bovine serum (FBS; Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA), 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 37˚C. For hypoxia environment, hPASMCs were exposed to 1% O2 for indicated times.

Data from ENCODE26 (link) were explored as described in eMethods. ChIP-seq experiments were performed on confluent HCASMC (Cell Applications 350-05a & Lonza CC-2583; cultured in SmGM-2 BulletKit media; Lonza) as described.27 (link) TCF21 (Abcam ab49475), Jun (Santa Cruz Biotechnology sc-1694), JunD (Santa Cruz Biotechnology sc-74), and CEBP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology sc-150) transcription factor binding was interrogated and H3K27ac data were acquired using the same ChIP protocol with an anti-H3K27ac antibody (Abcam; ab4729). Reads were aligned to the human genome (GRCh37p13) using STAR.28 (link)

Culturing and Hypoxic Stimulation of hPASMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (hPASMCs; Cascade Biologics Inc., Portland, OR) were cultured in SmGM-2 BulletKit media (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) containing 5% (volume/volume) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco, Carlsbad, CA), 0.5 ng/ml human recombinant epidermal growth factor, 2 ng/ml human recombinant fibroblast growth factor, 5 μg/ml insulin, and 50 μg/ml gentamicin. HEK293 cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS, penicillin (100 U/ml), and streptomycin (100 μg/ml) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2. Cells at passages 6–8 were used for experiments. For induction of hypoxia, cells were transferred in a special hypoxia incubator (Thermo Scientific, model 3130, Rockford, IL) with 3% O2, 5% CO2, and balanced nitrogen. The O2 concentration inside the chamber was detected continuously by using an oxygen monitor (Hudson Ventronics Division, CA) to ensure that the O2 concentration was 3%.

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.
