Dmem culture media

Manufactured by Corning
Sourced in United States

DMEM (Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium) is a cell culture medium commonly used to support the growth and maintenance of various cell types in laboratory settings. It is a basal medium that provides the necessary nutrients, vitamins, and other components required for cell proliferation and survival. DMEM is designed to maintain the optimal pH and osmotic balance for cell cultures.

Quantitative Capsule Visualization

Capsule was induced based on the original protocol described by Granger D.L. et al. (75 (link), 76 (link)). Overnight cultures were washed twice with PBS, resuspended in the DMEM culture media (Corning, Corning, NY) with addition of 10% FBS (Neuromics, Edina, MN), and transferred to 6-well plates with 106 cells in each well. Cells were incubated for 5 days at 37°C with 5% CO2, stained with India ink, and then observed under the Leica DMi8 inverted fluorescence microscope with a 100× objective. The size of the capsule was quantified using ImageJ software by measuring the width of the halo created by the capsule, which is visualized by negative staining with India ink.

We used cell lines of human fibrosarcoma (cell culture HT-1080) and breast cancer (MCF-7) obtained at the Research Institute of Virology (D. I. Ivanovsky Institute of Virology, Moscow, Russia). Tumor cells were cultured according to the recommendations specified in the cell culture certificates. Cells were incubated in DMEM culture media supplemented with 2 mM L-glutamine and 10% FBS in 25 cm2 and 75 cm2 culture flasks (Corning, Glendale, AZ, USA) at 37 °C in a humid atmosphere with 5% CO2 in a Sanyo CO2 incubator (Sanyo, Moriguchi, Japan). Cell lines were used in the study after 3 to 10 passages.

Pulse-Chase Analysis of Protein Turnover

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Pulse-Chase experiments, COS7 cells were incubated with Met/Cys-deficient DMEM (Corning) with 10% FBS for 30 min at 37 °C. The cells were then pulse-labeled with 0.5 mCi/ml [35S]Met/Cys (Perkin Elmer) in Met/Cys-deficient DMEM for 7 min at 37 °C, media was removed, cells were washed with dPBS (Corning), and cells were chased with DMEM culture media (Corning) containing 200 mM unlabeled methionine and 200 mM unlabeled cysteine and 10% FBS. At the indicated times, cells were lysed in PPHB and centrifuged at 13,000 x g for three min at 22 °C, supernatants were pre-cleared for 30 min at 4 °C with Protein A/G Beads (Santa Cruz), and protein complexes were immunoprecipitated from the supernatant with 1:100 dilution of either an anti-HA or anti-FLAG monoclonal antibody (BioLegend, 16B12; BioLegend L5) overnight at 4°C. The immune complexes were collected with Protein A/G Beads (Santa Cruz) for 2 h at 4 °C, washed 4 times with PPHB, separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane (Biorad), and analyzed by autoradiography and western blot. GST pull-down experiments utilized a similar approach with Glutathione Resin (Pierce; 16101) for purification.

For pulse-chase experiments, COS7 cells were incubated with Met/Cys-deficient DMEM for 30 min at 37 °C. The cells were then pulse-labeled with 0.5 mCi/ml [35S]Met/Cys in Met/Cys-deficient DMEM for 7 min at 37 °C, media were removed, washed with dPBS (Corning), and chased with DMEM culture media (Corning) containing 200 mM unlabeled methionine and 200 mM unlabeled cysteine.

The immune complexes were collected with Protein A/G Beads (Santa Cruz) for 2 hrs, washed 3x with PPHB, separated by SDS-PAGE, transferred to PVDF membrane (Biorad), and analyzed by autoradiography and western blot. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments were performed similarly, omitting the labeling and autoradiography steps.

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.
