Beta tc6 cells

The Beta-TC6 cells are a clonal cell line derived from transgenic mice that carry the simian virus 40 (SV40) T antigen gene under the control of the insulin promoter. These cells exhibit characteristics of pancreatic beta cells and can be used for in vitro studies related to beta cell function and diabetes research.

ChIP-seq analysis of DEC1 and DEC2 in Beta-TC6 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing was conducted as described in (5 (link)), by incubating Beta-TC6 cells (ATCC; CRL-11506) cultured in DMEM supplemented with 15% FBS, 1% L-glutamine, and 1% penicillin/streptomycin with DEC1 (Novus Biologicals; NB100–1800) and DEC2-V5 (GeneCopoeia, Inc. # EX-A4343-LX304) antibodies. Sequencing reads were mapped using STAR (46 (link)) with default parameters. Regions enriched for uniquely-mapped reads relative to input sample were called as binding peaks using MACS (47 (link)) with default parameters and “--pvalue=1e-9 --keep-dup=1”, followed by filtering against overlap with problematic regions of the genome (48 (link)). Peaks from BMAL1, CLOCK, and PDX1 ChIP-sequencing in Beta-TC6 cells (10 (link)) were called in the same manner and concatenated and merged with DEC1 and DEC2 peaks using BEDTools (49 (link)) to obtain a unified peak catalog.

Beta-TC-6 Cells Culture and hIAPP Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Beta-TC-6 cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were maintained in monolayer cultures in HEPES-buffered Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 15% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Life Technologies), 100 IU/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Life Technologies). Cells were maintained at 37°C humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. h-IAPP (Bachem, King of Prussia, PA) was dissolved in water and immediately added it to the culture medium of β-cells at various concentrations.

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.
