Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The immortalized
16HBE14o- epithelial cell line is derived from transformed bronchial
epithelial cells of a 1-year-old heart–lung transplant patient.29 (link) Cultivation of the cells was carried out in
eukaryotic minimal essential medium (eMEM): 1× MEM with Earle’s
salts with 2.2 g/L NaHCO3 (Biochrom AG, Berlin, Germany)
supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS; Biochrom AG), 2%
(v/v) l-glutamine (200 mM, PAN-Biotech GmbH), and 1% (v/v)
nonessential amino acids (100×, PAN-Biotech GmbH). The cells
were cultured in 10 cm plates at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in
a humid atmosphere and were kept for no more than 15 passages.
The seeding of the cells was done at a density of 1 × 105 cells/cm2 over a 12 mm Transwell polyester membrane
with 0.4 μm pore size (Corning, Schnelldorf, Germany) to promote
the polarization of the cell layer. Cells were cultured for 3 or 11
days, depending on the desired condition for infection. The volume
of medium on the apical side was 400 μL, and it was 1300 μL
on the basal side. The medium was exchanged every second day until
day eight after which the exchange was done daily.

Two human glioblastoma cell lines were used. U-251 MG human brain glioblastoma cell line was obtained from CLS (Heidelberg, Germany) and U-373 MG was a generous gift from Dr. Bardenheuer (Essen, Germany). The cell lines U-251 and U-373 were routinely grown in Dulbecco’s modified eagle medium (DMEM) with 4.5 g/l d-Glucose, 3.7 g/l NaHCO3, stable glutamine and Na-pyruvat (Biochrom AG, FG 0445, Germany). Media were supplemented with 10% sterile fetal bovine serum (Biochrom AG, S 0115) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich, P0781). Cell lines were maintained at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 90% humidity.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used NIH 3T3 (ATCC CRL1658) fibroblasts for experiments involving microcontact printing. The NIH 3T3 cell culture was a gift from Louis Lim (Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, ASTAR Singapore). For long-term experiments we employed a genetically modified variant termed NIH 3T3 X2 [39 (link)]. Compared with standard 3T3 cells, an enlarged fraction of X2 cells exhibited CDR formation. Cells were grown under standard conditions in Dulbecco’s MEM containing 3.7 g/L NaHCO3, 4.5 g/L D-Glucose (Biochrom), 100 µg/ml Penicillin/Streptomycin (PAA), and 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (Biochrom). Cells were split at 80% confluency using Trypsin/EDTA (Biochrom). Cells were mycoplasma free.

U-87 MG was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) (Manassas, USA) and U-251 MG from CLS (Heidelberg, Germany). Cells were cultivated in Dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM) containing 4.5 g/L D-Glucose, 3.7 g/L NaHCO3, stable glutamine and Na-Pyruvat (Biochrom AG, FG 0445, Germany) and supplemented with 10% sterile fetal bovine serum (Biochrom AG, S 0115) and 1% penicillin (Sigma-Aldrich). Cells were maintained at 37°C, 5% CO2 and 90% air moisture. Subcultures were made on 12 mm Ø cover slips to apply VEGF, axitinib or radiation on the confluent cell monolayer.

Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MCF-7 cells were chosen for their hormone receptor-positive attributes, reflecting the luminal breast cancer subtype. Their estrogen and progesterone receptor presence aligns with our hormone-related focus. Our selection was guided by their relevance to our objectives, well-documented status, and specific interest in MTE's impact on this hormone receptor-positive subtype. Additionally, our choice of MCF-7 cells was influenced by the existing data on green tea phenol's interaction with ERα, while information about ERβ interactions remains limited.
MCF-7 cells were cultured on an 80% monolayer in a cell culture bottle. Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM; 3.7 g/l NaHCO3, 4.5 g/l d-glucose, 1.028 g/l stable glutamine, and sodium pyruvate; Biochrom, Berlin, Germany) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS; Biochrom, Berlin, Germany) was used for cultivation. The cells were incubated with atmospheric concentrations of CO2 of 5% at 37 °C and were then trypsinized and counted for further use.

The choriocarcinoma cell lines BeWo (ECACC, Salisbury, UK) and JEG-3 (ATCC), which are useful models of human trophoblasts, were used for the study. The cells were cultured in DMEM (3.7 g/L NaHCO3, 4.5 g/L d-glucose, 1.028 g/L stable glutamine, and Na-Pyruvate; Biochrom, Berlin, Germany). 10% heat-inactivated FCS was added to the medium, and the solution was incubated at an atmospheric CO2 concentration of 5% and at 37°C.
BeWo and JEG-3 cells were separately grown on sterile 12 multiwell slides at a density of 500,000 cells/mL DMEM with 10% foetal cow serum. After 4 h, medium was changed to pure DMEM. The cells were stimulated with 0.01 nM or 0.1 nM triiodothyronine (T3) (Sigma T2877; Lot:106K1157V, Sigma-Aldrich), thyronamine (T0AM) (Fluka 80345, Lot: BCBL2185V, Buchs, Switzerland), 3-Iodothyronamine (T1AM) (Cayman Chemical) and RO5203548 (Glixx Laboratories, Hopkinton, MA, USA) for 2 h (PCR samples) and 48 h (Immunocytochemistry and Western blot samples), respectively. Control cells were incubated without stimulants. As a control solvent, the following buffers were used: The stimulant T3 has been diluted in 1 M NaOH in DMEM (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium) and T1AM and RO5203548 were diluted in DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide).

Cell cultures were performed in A549 cells purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA) and were maintained in Earle’s minimal essential medium (MEM) (Biochrom GmbH, Germany) supplemented with 2.2 g/l NaHCO3 (Biochrom), 1% l-glutamine (Merck, Germany), 1% penicillin (10,000 U/ml) and streptomycin (10,000 μg/ml) (Biochrom), 1% fungizol (CPS Cito Pharma Services, Switzerland), and 1% heat inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (Biochrom) at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The samples inoculated in A549 cells were incubated at 37 °C for 3–7 days or until a cytopathic effect was observed. After cytopathic effect was confirmed, the positive cell culture supernatant was subjected to DNA extraction. DNA viral extraction from 200 µl supernatant of the cell cultured HAdV positive samples was automatically performed using the NUCLISENS easyMAG (bioMérieux, Geneva, Switzerland) extractor, as per manufacturer’s instructions. After DNA extraction, the DNA concentration of each sample was measured using the Qubit dsDNA high sensitivity assay kit on the Qubit 3.0 Fluorometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Zug, Switzerland) as per manufacturer's protocol prior to whole genome amplification (WGA).

Ductal breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and T47D (both ECACC, Salisbury, UK) were used for the experiments. The cells were cultured in DMEM (3.7 g/L NaHCO3, 4.5 g/L d-glucose, 1.028 g/L stable glutamine, and Na-pyruvate; Biochrom, Berlin, Germany) adding 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (FCS; Biochrom) to the medium, and the solution was incubated at an atmospheric CO2 concentration of 5% and at a temperature of 37°C.

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.
