Cell Line Authentication and Validation

The NCI‐H23, NCI‐H441, NCI‐H1299, and NCI‐H2009 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA), whereas PC‐9 was obtained from RIKEN Cell Bank (Tsukuba, Japan). ACC‐LC‐319 and ACC‐LC‐94 lung adenocarcinoma cell lines were established by our group. An immortalized lung epithelial cell line, BEAS‐2B, was a generous gift from Curtis C. Harris (National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD, USA). The conditions used to culture these cell lines have been previously reported.18 Verification of all cell lines was carried out by short tandem repeat profiling at the Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources, National Institute of Biomedical Innovation of Japan (Osaka, Japan) in February 2015. All cell lines were confirmed to be absent of mycoplasma contamination (MycoAlert; Lonza, Tokyo, Japan).

In Vitro Transmigration Assay of Human PMNs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We performed the in vitro transmigration assay of human PMNs through a monolayer of pulmonary epithelial (NCI-H441, ATCC, USA) (n≥3) or primary pulmonary endothelial cells (HMVEC-L, Lonza Walkersville, Walkersville, MD, USA). Endothelial (respectively epithelial) cells, PMNs, or both were incubated with the specific CXCR4 or CXCR7 antagonist at indicated concentrations. Human endothelial/epithelial cells were cultivated on inserts of a transwell system (3.0-μm pore size, 6.5-mm diameter; Costar, Cambridge, MA, USA) until reaching confluence. Isolated human PMNs (Percoll gradient; GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences AB, Uppsala, Sweden) migrated through the monolayer of endothelial/epithelial cells along a chemotactic gradient (CXCL2/3; 200 ng/ml; Pepro Tech, Hamburg, Germany). Migrated PMNs were quantified by determination of myeloperoxidase (absorption length: 405 nm) in the bottom wells. Additionally, migrated PMNs were evaluated by modified Giemsa staining (Diff Quik) by two experienced independent observers.

ISO‐HAS‐1 (human microvascular endothelial cell line, originated from (Masuzawa et al., 1999; Unger et al., 2002)), NCI H441 (human lung adenocarcinoma cell line), A549 (human lung carcinoma cell line) and THP‐1 (human leukaemia monocyte cell line; all three cell lines purchased from ATCC, ATCC‐HTB‐174, CCL‐185 and TIB‐202, Promochem, Wesel, Germany) were grown in RPMI 1640 (Gibco) supplemented with l‐glutamine, 10% fetal calf serum (FCS) and penicillin–streptomycin (Pen/Strep; 100 U/100 µg/ml) and cultivated at 37 °C in 5% CO2. ISO‐HAS‐1 and H441 were passaged every third day at a dilution of 1:3 until passages 50 and 35, respectively, and THP‐1 were passaged with a cell number of 1 × 106–1 × 105 cells/ml.

NCI‐H1975, NCI‐H441, NCI‐H1299, NCI‐H2228, HCC4006, and HeLa cells were purchased from ATCC, and PC‐9 cells were obtained from Riken Cell Bank. All cell lines were cultured in RPMI‐1640 medium with 10% FBS. Cell lines were authenticated by short tandem repeat DNA profiling and were free from mycoplasma contamination.
For treatment with the proteasomal inhibitor MG132 and the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine, a total of 1 × 105 cells per well were seeded in 6‐well plates and treated 24 hours later with GA, MG132, chloroquine, or DMSO at the indicated concentrations. The cells were harvested 8 hours after treatment for western blot analysis.

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.
