The human colon adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 was obtained from the Cell Biological Institute of Shanghai, Chinese Academy of Sciences (Shanghai, China). The cells were grown at 37°C in air and 5% CO2 in sterile basal medium/DMEM-H (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck KGaA, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Genview, Beijing, China), 1% L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin and 0.25 mg/ml amphotericin B. The culture medium was changed every 2–3 days. Prior to treatment, the cells were plated with fresh medium (1×106 cells/ml) and cultured. On the second day after plating, Caco-2 cells were incubated with different concentrations of H2O2 (100, 200 and 400 μM) and 85% oxygen [cells were cultured in three gas incubators (CB160; Binder GmbH, Tuttlingen, Germany), with 85% oxygen and 5% CO2] for 24 h. A group of control cells received no treatment. Subsequently, the cultured cells were harvested, and the RNA and protein were extracted. All experiments were repeated 6–8 times.

Osteoporotic osteoblasts were isolated from hip joint of postmenopausal osteoporotic women who were 50 to 55 years old [13 (link)]. Normal osteoblasts were obtained from the healthy postmenopausal women who were 50 to 55 years old. Cells were cultured in α-MEM medium (Gbico) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (GENVIEW), 100 IU/mL penicillin, and 100 μg/mL streptomycin at 37°C, 5% CO2, and a humidified atmosphere.

Oxygen-induced Colon Cell Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human normal colon mucosal epithelial cell line NCM460 (C335) was obtained from the Shanghai Institute of Cell Biological,Chinese Academy of Sciences. The cells were incubated at 37°C in air and 5% CO2 in sterile basal medium/DMEM-H (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Genview, Beijing, China), 1% L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin, and 0.25 mg/ml amphotericin B. The culture medium was changed every 2 to 3 d. Prior to treatment, the cells (1 × 106 cells/ml) were plated with fresh medium and cultured in 37°C in air and 5% CO2 for 24 h. On the second day after plating, the cells were treated with N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) or apocynin (APO) and/or 85% oxygen (three-gas incubator, CB160, BINDER, Neckarsulm, Germany) for 24 h. The control cells received no treatment. Next, we harvested the cultured cells and extracted RNA and protein from the cells. All experiments were repeated 6 to 8 times.

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.
