African green monkey kidney Vero E6 cells (C1008) were plated at 2 × 104 cells/well density in opaque (white) tissue culture 96‐well plates (Greiner Bio‐One) at the same time as the addition of the drug treatments and virus treatments and cultured in MEM (Gibco) supplemented with 2% HI‐FBS. Human liver epithelial THLE‐2 cells (CRL2706, ATCC) were plated at 3 × 103 cells/well density in 96‐well plates coated with bronchial epithelial cell growth (BEBM) complete medium with fibronectin (0.01 mg/ml; Biological Industries), bovine collagen Type I (0.03 mg/ml; Stem Cell Technologies) and bovine serum albumin (0.01 mg/ml; Sigma‐Aldrich). The BEBM complete medium consisted of BEGM Bullet Kit (Lonza) excluding gentamicin/amphotericin and epinephrine but additionally supplemented with EGF (5 ng/ml), phosphoethanolamine (70 ng/ml), and 10% FBS (Biowest). Human cardiomyocyte AC16 cells (SCC‐09, Millipore) were plated at 2 × 103 cells/well density in 96‐well uncoated plates and cultured in complete AC16 medium—DMEM/F12 (Life Technologies) supplemented with l‐glutamine (2 mm; Life Technologies), 12.5% FBS (Biowest), and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (Life Technologies). All cell cultures were incubated in a humidified atmosphere, at 37°C with 5% CO2 atmosphere.

Prior to all experiments, live/dead cell count was determined by 4% trypan blue
dye exclusion for viability. Cell populations with a minimum of 95% viability
were used for the experiments. HBEC line (BEAS-2B, ATCC CRL-9609) was seeded
(1 × 106) onto type I bovine collagen (StemCell Technologies,
Vancouver, BC)-coated T-75 flasks. Cells were maintained in serum-free LHC-9
medium (Gibco) containing penicillin/streptomycin (100 U/ml; Gibco) and
amphotericin B (2 µg/ml; Sigma) in a humidified chamber at 37˚C/5%
CO2 until 80% confluent. Immortalized human monocytic cell line
(THP-1, ATCC TIB-202) was maintained in suspension culture in Roswell Park
Memorial Institute medium (RPMI-1640, Gibco) containing 10% of heat inactivated
FBS (Atlanta Biologics) and supplemented with HEPES buffer (10 mM; Gibco),
sodium pyruvate (1 mM; Sigma), D-Glc (4.5 g/l; Sigma), sodium bicarbonate
(1.5 g/l; Sigma), penicillin/streptomycin (100 U/ml; Gibco) and amphotericin B
(2 µg/ml; Sigma). Cells were maintained in a humidified chamber at 37˚C/5%
CO2. 2-3 × 106 cells were stimulated with 10 nM
phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, Sigma) diluted in RPMI-1640 with 1% FBS
for 24 h to differentiate monocytes into macrophages and incubated for an
additional 24 h.

Glycogen Accumulation Staining in Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For fibroblasts or HepG2 cells staining, round coverslips Ø12mm (0.13-016mm) (ThermoScientific-Menzel) were previously coated with 0.1% gelatin, and for iHeps staining coverslips were previously coated with collagen solution 1:45 (Type I bovine collagen, Stem Cell Cat#04902). Samples were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) solution (Paraformaldehyde 16%; AlfaAesar, Cat#43368) in PBS for 15 minutes at room temperature. Fixed cells samples were staining for the identification of glycogen accumulation using Periodic Acid-Schiff Kit (Sigma, Cat#395B), according to manufacturer's indications. Briefly, fixed cells were rinsed with water for 1 minute and incubated in Periodic Acid for 5 minutes at room temperature. After several changes of distilled water to rinse the slides, they were incubated with Schiff’s reagent for 15 minutes at room temperature. Finally, samples were washed with water and visualized under light microscope (Nikon ECLIPSE Ts2R-FL). Images were taken with a Leica DFC70000T camera.

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.
