Rat Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary rat aortic VSMCs, growth media, and cell culture supplements were purchased from Lonza (Basel, Switzerland). Fetal bovine serum for cell culture was supplied by Gibco Life Technologies (Darmstadt, Germany), and PDGF-BB was obtained from Bachem (Weilheim, Germany). Rat phaeochromocytoma cells (PC-12) cells were a kind gift from Prof. Harald Sitte (Medical University of Vienna). Horse serum and NGF were from Fisher Scientific (Vienna, Austria). The A10 cell line was purchased from LGC Standards (Teddington, UK). HEK293T cells were purchased from Merck (Darmstadt, Germany). Sprague Dawley rats (Charles River, MA, USA) were used for harvesting dorsal root ganglia. Biological material was only obtained after sacrificing the animal, which does not require explicit approval by an ethics committee under local jurisdiction. Capsaicin and BCTC were obtained from R&D Systems (Abingdon, UK) and Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, USA), respectively. All other chemicals were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (MO, USA).

Osteoclast precursor cells and growth media were purchased from Lonza (Walkersville, MD), and differentiated into matured osteoclasts according to the supplier’s instructions. Cells were cultured at 37 °C for 10 days in the absence or presence of 100 μM hemin.

hMSC Culture and Labeling with SiC Nanomaterials

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The hMSCs were purchased from Lonza and were used between passage 2 and 10. The growth media was also purchased from Lonza. The seeding density was approximately 5,000 cells/cm2 unless specified. Cells were passaged when they reached about 90% confluence with TrypLE Express (Life Technologies) with about 5–8 days between each passage. Labeling with SiC nanoparticles or nanowires was performed without any exogenous transfection agents. The SiC nanomaterials were added to media and allowed to incubate for 4 hours. The adherent cells were washed three times with excessive PBS before detachment or other treatment.

CGS 21680, NBMPR, and ZM 241385 were purchased from Tocris Biosciences. Growth media and adenosine deaminase were obtained from Lonza and Worthington Biochemical Corporation respectively. Rolipram, adenosine, inosine, adenosine 5′-[α,β-methylene] diphosphate and LPS (E. coli O111:B4) and all the reagents (unless otherwise stated) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.

Generation of neural progenitor-like cells from human mesenchymal stem cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human MSCs were isolated from bone marrow as described previously with institutional review board (Western IRB) approval and informed consent [Citation2]. MSCs were cultured in growth media (Lonza, MD, USA) supplemented with 5% Plastate™ human platelet lysate (New York Blood Center), 2 U/ml heparin and 2 mM GlutaMAX™I CTS™ (Life Technologies, NY, USA). MSC-NPs were generated by culturing MSCs in neural progenitor maintenance medium (NPMM) (Lonza) supplemented with 20 ng/ml each of epidermal growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor for 2 weeks. Cells were incubated in a humidified 37°C incubator at 5% CO 2 and 5% O 2 . All MSC-NPs were derived from donors with MS participating in clinical trials (cliniclatrials.gov ID NCT03355365 and NCT03822858), and were quality-tested in compliance with cGMP manufacturing [Citation2] . Conditioned medium (NPCM) was collected from MSC-NPs after 2-3 days in culture, centrifuged for 10 min at 800 × g and 4°C to remove cell debris, and stored at -20°C until use. Twenty-five separate NPCM samples were collected (NPCM1 through NPCM25), and each milliliter represented a cell density range from 30,000 to 170,000 cells/ml.

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.
