Inducing RPE-EMT via TGF-β and TNF-α

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hRPE monolayers were incubated in proteo-collagenolytic enzyme (AccuMAX, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 15 to 20 minutes. Gentle mechanical trituration was performed by pipetting approximately 15 times with a P1000 pipette. AccuMAX was neutralized by adding double the amount of RPE medium and AccuMAX was removed by aspiration after cells were centrifuged at 150×g for 5 minutes. Cell viability was assessed by Trypan blue dye exclusion. Cells were then resuspended in RPE medium and plated on Matrigel-coated plates at a density of 30,000 cells/cm2 and incubate at 37°C/5% CO2. For inducing TGF-β signaling associated RPE-EMT, the hRPE monolayers were cultured for approximately 3 months before cotreatment with equal concentration of 1 to 40 ng/mL of recombinant human TGF-β1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA; Catalog # PHG9204) and recombinant human TNF-α protein (R&D Systems. Minneapolis, MN; Catalog # 210-TA-020) in RPE medium for 24, 48, and 72 hours in 37°C/5% CO2.

Fibroblast Culture and TNFα Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fibroblasts were obtained from skin biopsies of four patients (age at biopsy range: 8 to 19 years) and six controls (age at biopsy range: 17 years to adult). Corresponding informed consent and institutional ethics approval were obtained (Ethics Committee of the Universitat de Barcelona, IRB00003099), and all methods were performed in accordance with the relevant guidelines and regulations. Fibroblasts were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, LifeTechnologies) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Gibco, LifeTechnologies) and were maintained at 37ºC and 5% CO2. When appropriate, cells were treated with 10 ng/μl recombinant human TNFα protein (R&D systems) for 6, 24 or 48 hours.

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.
