Primary C57BL/6 mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBECs; C57-6023,
Cell Biologics, Chicago, IL) were seeded in 12-well plates coated with
Gelatin-Based Coating Solution (6950, Cell Biologics) for cell assays and
allowed to grow to 80–90% confluency before treatment. Cells were grown in
Complete Mouse Endothelial Cell Medium with supplemental kit (M1168 + kit, Cell
Biologics), at 37°C in 5% CO2. All experiments were completed on cell
passage 5.
Human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells were isolated from post-mortem
brains of donors and transfected with plasmid containing SV40 large T antigen
(HBEC-5i; CRL-3245TM, ATCC®, Manassas, VA). Cells were grown in F12:
DMEM plus 10% FBS and Endothelial Cell Growth Supplement (356,006, Corning) on
0.1% Gelatin (PCS-999–027, ATCC®). To exclude the effect of growth factors,
culture medium was changed to F12:DMEM without serum 4 hours prior to treatment.
All experiments were completed on cell passage 4.
All insulin stimulation and inhibitor treatments were performed at 37°C.
Hyperinsulinemic conditioning was induced in MBECs by incubating cells for
12 hours in 20 nM human recombinant insulin (I9278, Sigma, St. Louis, MO), and
HBEC-5is in 5 nM human recombinant insulin for 12 hours. Time and concentrations
for hyperinsulinemic conditioning were determined in pilot studies, data not
presented here.

MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured as a monolayer in DMEM medium (Gibco/Thermo Fisher, United States) supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin antibiotic solution, according to manufacturer’s instructions. Both cells were grown in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C (MCO-18AIC (UV), Sanyo, Japan) with the medium changed every other day.

Brain microvascular endothelial cells represent acceptable in vitro models to pursue signaling studies in BBB. So, mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMEC) (C57-6023, Cell Biologics) and human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) (HBEC-5i, ATCC) were used in our study to evaluate the effect of LPA. Cells were propagated in a growth medium containing essential and non-essential amino acids, vitamins, organic and inorganic compounds, hormones, growth factors, and trace minerals, and supplemented with endothelial cell growth supplement, antibiotics, and fetal bovine serum. All cells were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2.

Brain Endothelial Cell Viability Assay

Experiments were performed using immortalized human brain microvascular endothelial cells known as HBEC-5i (ATCC-CRL3245). Cells were gown in endothelial growth media (VEC technologies, Rensselaer, NY, USA) and plated on flasks coated with 0.1 % gelatin. VEC is a complete media containing FBS, antibiotics and growth factors (concentration details are not provided by manufacturer on the data sheets). Cells were grown to 80-90 % confluency and passage 5-8 were used in current experiments. Cells were serum starved in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) for 2 h and treated with drugs in 2 % FBS containing DMEM. Cells were treated with various concentrations of ET-1 (0, 10 nM, 100 nM or 1 µM) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 100 ng/ml) for 24 h and viability and cell death pathways were assessed as described below and on Figure 1a. To determine the role of ET-1 in LPS-induced cell death, cells were preincubated with bosentan (10 µM) 20 min before LPS challenge. For gene expression studies, cells were harvested 6 h after stimulation.

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.
