NCI-H441 cells (lot no. 58294188), a human lung epithelial cell line with characteristics of Clara cells, and RLE-6TN cells (lot no. 59111690), a rat lung epithelial cell line with characteristics of alveolar type II cells, were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD, USA) in 2010 and 2013, respectively. All experiments using these cells were performed within 4 months after resuscitation. NCI-H441 cells were grown as described in our previous report [4 (link)]. RLE-6TN cells were grown in Ham’s F12 medium containing 2 mM L-glutamine (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 10 % fetal bovine serum, 10 μg/ml bovine pituitary extract (PromoCell, Heidelberg, Germany), 5 μg/ml insulin (Gibco), 2.5 ng/ml insulin-like growth factor (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 1.25 μg/ml transferrin (Gibco), and 2.5 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). COS7 and NIH3T3 cells were described previously [14 (link), 15 (link)]. COS7 cells that overexpressed CADM1 exogenously were described previously [11 (link)].

Dermal Papilla Cell Culture Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dermal papilla cells were purchased from Promo cell; Bio-med (Bangkok, Thailand). Frozen cells were thawed under water bath at 37 °C. The cells were suspended into follicle dermal papilla cell growth medium (PromoCell GmbH) to which was added fetal bovine serum (4% v/v), bovine pituitary extract (0.4% v/v), basic fibroblast growth factor (1 ng/mL) (PromoCell GmbH, Heidelberg, Germany). Cells were incubated under 37 °C, 5% CO2 with 95% of relative humidity. The cells were sub-cultured when they reached 80–90% confluence.

Culturing Human Hair Follicle Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human hair follicle dermal papilla cells (hFDPCs) were purchased from PromoCell
(Heidelberg, Germany). The hFDPCs were cultured in FDPC growth medium
supplemented with 4% (v/v) fetal calf serum, 0.4% (v/v) bovine pituitary
extract, human recombinant basic fibroblast growth factor (1 ng/mL), and human
recombinant insulin (5 μg/mL; PromoCell). Human hair germinal matrix
cells (hGMCs) were obtained from ScienCell Research Laboratories (Carlsbad, CA,
USA). The hGMCs were cultured in mesenchymal stem cell medium supplemented with
5% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, and 1% (v/v) mesenchymal stem cell growth
supplement (ScienCell Research Laboratories). Both hFDPCs and hGMCs were
cultured at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5 % CO2.

Oxidative Stress and Elastase Effects on Rat Lung Epithelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RLE-6TN cells (lot no. 59111690), a rat lung epithelial cell line with characteristics of alveolar type II cells, were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD, USA). All experiments using this cell line were performed within 4 months after resuscitation. RLE-6TN cells were grown in Ham's F12 medium containing 2 mM L-glutamine (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 10 μg/ml bovine pituitary extract (PromoCell, Heidelberg, Germany), 5 μg/ml insulin (Gibco), 2.5 ng/ml insulin-like growth factor (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 1.25 μg/ml transferrin (Gibco), and 2.5 ng/ml epidermal growth factor (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) as we described previously (Hagiyama et al., 2015 (link)). H2O2 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan) was added to the semiconfluent culture of RLE-6TN cells at a concentration of 440 μM, according to the procedures published previously (Kim et al., 2014 (link)). After 4 or 8 h, H2O2 was removed by medium replacement, and the cultures were continued for 2 or 3 days. In another experiment, elastase (porcine pancreas; Worthington, Lakewood, NJ, USA) was added at a concentration of 1 unit/ml to the semiconfluent culture of RLE-6TN cells grown in the Ham's F12 medium same as described above except lacking fetal bovine serum. After 1 h, cells were subjected to Western blot analyses.

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.
