Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
R-HL60 cells were established from parental HL60 cells (ATCC, Rockville, MD, USA) and were characterized as described previously [1 (link)]. HL60 and R-HL60 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Amarillo, TX, USA) and 1% antibiotic-antimycotic reagents (Gibco). Cells were cultured at an incubator with 5% CO2 at a temperature of 37 °C, and the culture medium was changed every 2–3 days. Cytarabine, bortezomib, carfilzomib, and marizomib were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). R-HL60 cells were exposed to different concentrations of Cytarabine, bortezomib, carfilzomib, and marizomib, and the cell viability was measured using the CCK-8 assay (Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) All data were compared with the vehicle control (ddH2O for Cytarabine treatment; dimethyl sulfoxide [DMSO] for bortezomib, carfilzomib, and marizomib treatment).

The neonatal mice within 24 h were sterilized with 75% medical alcohol, after which the brain of the mice was cut out and the hippocampal tissue was quickly separated, and cut into small pieces. The hippocampal tissue pieces were digested with 0.125% trypsin for 15 min at 37°C, ground and centrifuged. Cells were seeded in 10-mm dishes coated with polylysine (10 mmol/L) at a density of 1×106 cells/mL and maintained in Neural Basal Medium (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) with 2% B27 (Gibco) and 0.25% Glumax (Gibco). After 3 days, 2.5 μg/mL cytarabine (Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the medium for 24 h to suppress the proliferation of glial cells. Next, 50% of the medium was renewed every three days. Cells were cultured at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 14 days before experimentations [23 (link)].
Hippocampal neurons were then transduced with lentivirus (Genechem; multiplicity of infection=5) carrying sh-NC, sh-MALAT1-1, sh-MALAT1-2, sh-MALAT1-3, oe-NC, oe-MALAT1, sh-METTL3-1, sh-METTL3-2, sh-METTL3-3, and oe-METTL3. After 48 h, cells were harvested for subsequent experimentations.

Mouse neuroblastoma N2a cells were grown in Dulbecco modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA) supplemented with 10%(V/V) fetal bovine serum (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) at 37 °C with 5% CO2 in a humid incubator. Cerebral cortex neurons were prepared from neonatal rats within 72 h of birth. Cerebral cortex neurons were isolated as described previously (Zhu et al., 2016). Briefly, the cortices were digested with DMEM containing 2 mg mL−1 papain (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and 50 mg mL−1 DNase (Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 50 min at 37 °C. Digested tissues were filtered with a 70 μm nylon cell strainer (Corning, Corning, NY, USA). Isolated cells were seeded in 0.05 mg mL−1 poly‐L‐lysine (Solarbio, Beijing, China)‐coated plates at a density of 2 × 105 cells per well in a 24‐well plate. Neurons were cultured in DMEM/F12 (Gibco) containing 1% B27 serum‐free supplement (Invitrogen), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco). After 48 h, 10 mm cytarabine (Sigma‐Aldrich) was added to suppress the growth of glial cells. Experimental treatments were performed after 7 days of culture.

The pellet was resuspended in primary growth medium (PGM), and cells were plated at 1 × 105 per cm2 on poly-d-lysine-coated cell culture plates. We maintained cells in Primary Neuron Growth Medium BulletKit (PNGM, Lonza) at 37°C, 5% of CO2, and relative humidity of 98%. To inhibit glial proliferation, we added cytarabine (Sigma, 1 μM = AraC) and maintained cultures for 14–18 days in vitro.

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.
