CHO- TREx (RRID:CVCL_D586, Invitrogen) cells and their derivatives were
grown on tissue-culture grade plastic plates (Thermo Scientific) in Alpha
MEM Earle’s Salts (Life Technologies), supplemented with 10% Tet
System Approved FBS (ClonTech), 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin,
0.292 mg/ml L-glutamine (GIBCO).
C2C12 cells (Mouse cells, RRID:CVCL_0188, ATCC Catalog No. CRL-1772)
were grown in DMEM (Life Technologies), supplemented with 20% Tet System
Approved FBS (ClonTech), 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 ug/ml streptomycin, 0.584
mg/ml L-glutamine (GIBCO). C2C12 media was used for CHO-K1 + C2C12
co-culture assays (

a humidified atmosphere. Cells were passaged every 2–3 days,
depending on confluency, using 0.05% or 0.25% Trypsin-EDTA (Life
Technologies).
