Human prostate normal cell line (RWPE-1) and human prostate cancer cell lines; LNCaP and PC-3, were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, Virginia, USA). LNCaP and PC-3 cells were grown in Roswell Park Memorial Institute medium (RPMI) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), 1% penicillin and streptomycin. RWPE-1 cells were maintained in Keratinocyte Serum Free Medium (K-SFM, ATCC) supplemented with bovine pituitary extract (BPE) and human recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF). Mediums were supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal calf serum (Sigma.), 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin (Flowlab, Sydney, Australia). All cells were maintained in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air at 37°C incubator.

Wogonin Mitigates High Glucose-Induced Cytotoxicity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human renal proximal tubule HK-2 cells (CRL-2190™, ATCC, VA, USA) were maintained in keratinocyte serum-free medium (K-SFM, 17005-042, ATCC, VA, USA) in a cell culture incubator. HK-2 cells were subject to 30 mmol/L of glucose for 24 h as high glucose exposure (Cui et al. 2023; (link)Li et al. 2021; (link)Liu et al. 2023) (link). To investigate the roles of wogonin in HG-induced cell toxicity, we exposed HK-2 cells to increasing concentrations of wogonin (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 µM) for 24 h to determine the suitable concentration for acute toxicity. We chose 8 µM as an optimal concentration for the co-treatment with wogonin and HG based on the cell viability. The treatment with mannitol (8 µM) for 24 h was used as the negative control. Mannitol plus HG medium was used as a control. In brief, cells were divided into three groups: (1) negative control, (2) HG, and (3) HG + wogonin. For in vitro cell viability, the assays were conducted using a commercial 992, Beijing, China) .

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.
