Cell Culture Protocols for Pancreatic and Colorectal Cancer
Isolation and Culture of Pancreatic Cell Lines
MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 cells were acquired from American Tissue Cell Culture (ATCC; Manassas, VA, USA), and OCUP-A2 is a PC cell line established by our group from a patient with malignant pancreatic neoplasm and liver metastasis [78 (link)]. These cell lines were grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and 2.5% horse serum (ATCC; for MIA PaCa-2 cells only). BxPC-3 cells were acquired from the Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources Cell Bank (JCRB, Osaka, Japan) and cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% heat-inactivated FBS (Gibco) in a humidified atmosphere at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Details of cell-based assays are provided in the
Culturing and Xenograft of Pancreatic Cells
Male BALB/c nude mice (20 ± 2 g), supplied by Shanghai Sippr-BK Laboratory Animal Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China), were acclimatized at 25 °C and 55% humidity under natural light/dark conditions. All animal experiments were carried out under the guidelines approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Isolation and Cultivation of Primary Human Pancreatic Stellate Cells
Immortalized PSC cell lines from human RLT-PSC (referred to as i-hPSC) [18 (link)] and from mice (referred to as i-mPSC C2 and i-mPSC C3) [20 (link)] were kindly provided by Prof. J-M. Löhr, Karolinska Institute, Sweden. The immortalized cells were cultured and maintained in DMEM/F-12 supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% Pen-Strep and 1% amphotericin B.

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.
