Murine lung fibroblasts (MLFs) were kindly provided by Harald von Melchner (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) and A549 cells by Ralf Schubert (Frankfurt am Main, Germany).
HEK 293T cells were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Human cell lines were authenticated by
STR profiling (DSMZ, Braunschweig, Germany). All cell lines were continuously monitored for mycoplasma contamination and cultured in
DMEM medium (Life technologies Inc., Eggenstein, Germany) supplemented with 10%
fetal calf serum (Biochrom, Berlin, Germany), 1%
penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany). Culture medium for
HEK 293T cells also contained 1 mM
sodium pyruvate (Invitrogen, Karlsruhe, Germany). Cells were kept at 37 °C and 5% CO
2. Chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) unless otherwise indicated.
Auranofin was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA), H
2O
2 from Carl Roth (Karlsruhe, Germany) and Bleomycin (BLEOCIN, Calbiochem, Merck).
