Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bovine fibroblast cells were obtained as described previously [9] . Human Dermal Fibroblasts were purchased from Sigma (cat # 106-05A). A vial of cells was thawed, and plated at a density of 5 x 10 4 cells per 35-mm Petri dish in cell culture medium (α-MEM (GIBCO BRL, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal calf serum (FCS) and 50 μg/ml gentamicin sulfate). At 24 h after plating, medium was replaced with fresh medium supplemented with:
-Bovine fibroblasts: Cultures were performed with 0 (control), 2, 4 and 6 mM BHB ((R)-(-)-3-Hydroxybutyric acid sodium salt, Sigma cat # 298360) or 5 mM Sodium Butyrate (NaBu, Sigma cat# 303410) for a period of 24 h.
-Human Dermal Fibroblasts: Cultures were performed with 0 (control), 2, 6 and 20 mM BHB for 24h.
At the end of cultures, cells were fixed with PFA 4% for immunostaining or tripsinized and recovered for histone extraction.
Regarding the experiment aimed at assessing Kbhb turnover, cells were either untreated (Control) or treated with 6 mM BHB (as described above), then washed 3 times with fresh culture medium and maintained without treatment for 0, 1, 2, 4 and 24 hours to monitor the Kbhb decay.
For the experiment involving inhibition of HDACs to increase Kbhb levels, cells were treated with 6 mM BHB, 5mM Nabu and 1 uM of TSA (Sigma cat # T8552) for 24 h.

Establishing PARK20 Fibroblast Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fibroblasts were derived directly from the skin punch biopsies of the two Italian patients carrying the p.R258Q mutation at homozygous state (Quadri et al., 2013 (link); Olgiati et al., 2014 (link)). A written informed consent was obtained from each patient. As control cells, primary adult Human Dermal Fibroblasts (HDF) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. PARK20 fibroblasts and HDF were grown in one ready-to-use Fibroblast Growth Medium (FGM from Sigma-Aldrich) at 37°C and 5% CO2 in humidified atmosphere. Experiments were performed on both cell lines at similar culture passages (P5-P6). When indicated, cells were starved in Fibroblasts Basal Medium (FBM from Sigma-Aldrich), which does not contain FBS and growth factors supplement. Drug treatments were performed with 1 μM GSK2606414 (Calbiochem) or 500 nM Thapsigargin (Sigma-Aldrich) for the indicated time.

HeLa cells (kind gift from Prof. Dr. C. Azzalin, ETH Zurich, Switzerland) and human dermal fibroblasts (106–05N, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MI) were cultured in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. THP1 monocytes (kind gift from Dr. H.-D. Beer, University of Zurich, Switzerland) and SW480 cells engineered for overproduction or down-regulation of HtrA117 (link),18 (link) (kind gift from Prof. Dr. M. Ehrmann, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany) were cultured in RPMI medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 1% (v/v) penicillin/streptomycin plus G418 or puromycin, respectively, in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. Transfection was performed using Lipofectamine 2000 according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
