Inflammatory Cytokine Effects on hCMEC/D3 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human cerebral microvascular endothelial cells (hCMEC/D3) (Weksler et al., 2013; Weksler et al., 2005) at passages 26-35 were cultured on rat-tail collagen type I-coated tissue culture plates (for gene expression studies) or Transwell® inserts (for assessments of cell monolayer integrity) containing EBM-2 basal medium (Lonza, Walkersville, MD) supplemented with the EGM-2 SingleQuot reagents obtained from the manufacturer. Cells were maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2 until confluence. Immortalized hCMEC/D3 cell line was kindly provided by Ashley Hayes, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Basel, Switzerland. rat-tail collagen type I was obtained from Gibco, Madison, WI.
Recombinant human (rh) IL17A, rhTNF-α, rhIL6 and rhIL6R were purchased from R&D Systems. The experiments were run in 2-fold serial dilutions for each cytokine. Final concentrations used in this study: 50 ng/ml IL-17A ± 1 ng/ml TNF-α or 25 ng/ml IL-6 + 50 ng/ml IL-6R. For gene expression analyses, total RNA was extracted using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) after 2 days of treatment with the cytokines.

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.
