The A549 cell line and IMR-90 cell line were purchased from ATCC. A549 cells were cultured in F-12K medium (Boster Biological Technology) containing 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. IMR-90 cells were cultured in DMEM (Biological Industries) containing 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. The MLE-12 cell line was purchased from the Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China). MLE-12 cells were cultured in DMEM/F-12 medium (Corning) containing 10% FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. A549, MLE-12, and IMR-90 cells were incubated in a humidified incubator with 95% air and 5% CO2 at 37 °C. A549 cells, MLE-12 cells, and IMR-90 cells were seeded in six-well plates and cultured overnight. Cells were treated with TGF-β (10 ng/mL) for 24 h[37 (link)] and then exposed to 680C91 (20 μm) for 24 h.

Cell Culture and Fixation Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The IMR-90 cell line and hTERT-RPE-1 cell line were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, cat. no. CCL-186 for IMR-90 and cat. no. CRL-4000 for hTERT-RPE-1). IMR-90 cells were cultured with Eagle’s MEM (ATCC, cat. no. 30-2003) containing 10% (vol/vol) FBS and 1× penicillin-streptomycin. The hTERT-RPE-1 cells were cultured with DMEM: F12 (ATCC, cat.no. 30-2006) medium containing 10% (vol/vol) FBS and 1× penicillin-streptomycin. For imaging, cells were plated onto 40-mm-diameter, #1.5 coverslips in Falcon 60-mm tissue culture dishes. When the cells reached a confluency of 70%, the cells were fixed with 4% (wt/vol) paraformaldehyde (PFA) in DPBS for 10 min at room temperature and washed twice with Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (DPBS). The cell lines were not authenticated or tested for mycoplasma contamination.

Fibroblast and Stem Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The IMR90 cell line (fetal lung fibroblasts; CCL-186) was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. The NHDF1 cell line (neonatal human dermal fibroblasts) which was originally obtained from Lonza (Allendale, NJ) was a gift of Dr Lowry (University of California at Los Angeles) [34] (link). The human fetal fibroblasts (HFF) were isolated from fetal foreskin tissues and were previously used to generate iPSCs in the lab [35] (link). IMR90 and HFF cells were maintained in fibroblast medium: DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, glutamine and non-essential amino-acids (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). NHDF1 cells were maintained as described by Lowry et al [34] (link). The H1 human embryonic stem cell (H1-hESC) line was obtained from WiCell (Madison, Wisconsin, USA) and was maintained in mTeSR1 medium (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada) on matrigel (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) coated plates.

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.
