NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells (ATCCRCRL-1658) were maintained in Dulbecco’s modification of Eagle’s medium (DMEM, with 4.5 g/l glucose, L-glutamine & sodium pyruvate, Corning) with fetal bovine serum (FBS, 10% v/v, Biowest) and Penicillin/Streptomycin (100 U/mL, Roche Diagnostics GmbH). Cells were cultured on 10 cm sterile plates in 37°C, in humidified a chamber with 5% CO2. Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen) was used to transfect cells (at 70% confluence, one day after seeding) according to manufacturer’s protocol. 10 μg of plasmid DNA (4 variants of shRNA carrying plasmids, OriGene TL501619) DNA was used to transfect one plate. The medium was replaced 6 hours after transfection with a standard one. 3 days after transfection cells were washed twice with cold PBS (137 mM NaCl, 7.97 mM Na2HPO4 × 12 H2O, 2.68 mM KCl, 1.47 mM KH2PO4), detached in PBS and moved to a 1.5 ml tube. After centrifugation the cell pellet was lysed in 1 ml of cold RIPA buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl pH7.4, 1% NP-40, 0.5% Na-deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM EDTA, 50 mM NaF) with freshly added protease (cOmplete ULTRA tablets, EDTA-free, Roche Diagnostics GmbH) and phosphatase inhibitors (PMSF 1mM, Na3VO4 0.2mM). The protein isolate was separated from cell debris by centrifugation (15 min, 14000g, 4°C) and stored at -20°C.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal experiments were conducted in accordance with accepted standards of animal care and in agreement with a protocol established with our Ethics Committee. The study has been approved by the Institutional Review Board “CEINGE-Biotecnologie Avanzate”. To evaluate in vivo tumorigenicity, unsorted HCC1937 or sorted cell subpopulations were resuspended in media and Matrigel (1:1; BD Biosciences), and injected into the left and right flanks of 4-week-old NOD/SCID mice (C. River laboratories). To evaluate the tumorigenic potential of the unsorted cell line, 2 × 106 and 4 × 105 of HCC1937 cells were injected into the left and right flanks of mice respectively (n = 5). To compare the tumorigenic potentials of the CD24+ and CD24- cell populations, 5 × 104 or 5 × 105 cells were injected into the left and right flanks of NOD/SCID mice respectively (n = 5). Tumor formation was assessed and measured once a week. Animals were killed when the tumor reached the size of 1.5 cm. Tumor tissues were minced into < 1 mm pieces, dissociated in an enzymatic solution consisting of collagenase type 1 (1.5 mg/ml, Sigma), penicillin/streptomycin 20%, amphotericin 1% and DNase (1 mg/ml, Roche), and incubated at 37°C for 60 min with gentle agitation. The single cell suspensions were analyzed by flow-cytometry after staining with appropriate antibodies.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
11 primary endometrial and ovarian tumor cell cultures were established from tumors of patients undergoing surgery at the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, UZ Leuven (Belgium). Tissue was washed with PBS supplemented with penicillin/streptomycin and fungizone, digested with collagenases type IV (1 mg/ml; Roche, Vilvoorde, Belgium) and DNAse I (0.1 mg/ml; Roche) in RPMI+ medium. Single cell suspensions were prepared by filtration through a 70-µm filter. Red blood cells were lysed using ammonium chloride (Stem Cell Technologies, Grenoble, France). Single cells were plated into a 25-cm (Parsons et al., 2012 (link)) culture flask. After 1–3 weeks, when cells reached 60–70% confluency, fibroblasts were removed using mouse anti-human CD90 (Clone AS02; Dianova, Hamburg, Germany) bound to Mouse Pan IgG Dynabeads (Life Technologies, Erembodegem, Belgium). Cell cultures were subsequently passaged at 70–90% confluency and banked at −80°C. Primary tumor cell cultures were grown in RPMI Medium 1640 supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 2 mM L-Glutamine, 100U/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin, 1 μg/ml fungizone, and 10 μg/ml gentamicin (Life Technologies) up to 25 passages.

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.
