Dmem medium

Manufactured by Fujifilm
Sourced in Japan

DMEM medium is a commonly used cell culture medium that provides essential nutrients for the growth and maintenance of various cell types in laboratory settings. It is a complex mixture of amino acids, vitamins, salts, and other components that support cell metabolism and proliferation. DMEM medium is designed to support the growth of a wide range of cell lines, including fibroblasts, epithelial cells, and many others.

To obtain cultured cells, human lymphoma cell line Daudi (JCRB9071) and Large T-transformed human embryonic kidney cell line HEK293T (RIKEN BRC2202) are cultured in D-MEM medium (Wako, 044–29765) supplemented with 10% FBS, GlutaMAX (Gibco, 25050–061), Pen/Strep (Gibco, 15140–122) or RPMI-1640 medium (Wako, 189–02025) supplemented with 10% FBS, respectively, in a humidified air condition containing 5% CO2 at 37°C. 10 μL of each con A-conjugated magnetic beads are mixed with mouse testicular cells (4×105 cells), Daudi (5×105 cells), or HEK293T (2×105 cells), respectively, and incubated for 30 min at RT. Cells bound to con A-conjugated beads are captured with a magnetic stand (FG-SSMAG2, FastGene), and numbers of con A beads-unbound cells in the supernatant are counted using a Scepter 2.0 automated cell counter (Merck) and 60 μL sensor (Fig 1C).

Rat Fibroblast Culture and Viability Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cultured rat fibroblasts, which were established from the subcutaneous tissue under the back skin of a healthy Wistar S/T rat (seven weeks old, 200 g), were retrieved in the form of a single cell suspension with D-MEM medium (Wako Pure Chemical) containing 10% bovine serum. The cell suspension was diluted with the same medium to 1.5 × 104 cells/mL. This suspension was poured at 100 μL/well into the coated wells in the plates described above so that there were 1.0 × 104 human cells/well (n = 4) as a control. The cell suspension was also poured into a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C.
For the cell culture, we used 24-well culture plates with wells 15 mm in diameter without a coating (Becton, Dickinson and Company Ltd., Franklin Lakes, USA). The 24 wells were divided into three groups: the SL group, WL group, and NL group. Fifty mg of sodium alginate and the calcium gluconate and/or physiological saline solutions were combined in the same proportions by weight. The type and volume of solution are summarized in Table 4. One, three, five, and seven days after seeding, the viable cell number in each well was counted with the ATP assay using an ATP Lite Kit (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, USA). For each time point, four wells for each experimental group were examined.

293T cells were cultured in DMEM medium (Wako) supplemented with 10% foetal bovine serum. TALEN was used for genome editing of the human FOS locus. TALEN plasmids targeting the human FOS gene (TALEN-FOS-left and TALEN-FOS-right) were designed and purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific. 293 T cells (4 × 105) were transfected with TALEN expression plasmids (4 µg each) and 0.4 µg of pcDNA3.1/Hygro(−) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) using Lipofectamine 3000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After 2 days, hygromycin B was added (0.4 mg/ml) and hygromycin-resistant colonies were picked and cultured.

The serous ovarian cancer cell lines JHOS‐2, JHOS‐4 and NIH‐OVCAR3 were obtained from RIKEN BioResource Center (Tsukuba, Japan). WI‐38 and SKOV3 (epithelial ovarian cancer) were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). Although these cell lines were not authenticated, relatively low passage number cells were obtained. JHOS‐2 and JHOS‐4 were maintained in DMEM/Ham's F‐12 medium (Wako, Osaka, Japan), NIH‐OVCAR3 and SKOV3 were maintained in RPMI‐1640 medium (Wako), and WI‐38 was maintained in DMEM medium (Wako). All cell lines were cultured in medium containing 5% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and 1% penicillin‐streptomycin (Wako) at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. For 5‐aza‐2′‐deoxycytidine (DAC, Sigma‐Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) treatment, cells were treated with 500 nmol/L DAC for 3 days. Medium containing DAC was replaced every day. DNA and RNA were extracted on the 7th day following the treatment.

The
mammalian cells toxicity assay was performed as previously described.18 (link) The effect of the chemical compounds on mammalian
cells was assayed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (DOJIN), to measure
the number of living cells. The MDCK and SH-SY5Y cells were seeded
in 100 mm dishes and maintained in DMEM medium (Wako) supplemented
with 10% FBS (GIBCO), 100 units/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin
(GIBCO), and 2 mM l-glutamine (GIBCO). The MDCK and SH-SY5Y
cells were seeded in 96-well assay plates (CORNING) with 100 μL
of total reaction volume at 5.0 × 103 and 1.5 ×
104 cells/well, respectively, and subsequently incubated
for 6 h and overnight, respectively, at 37 °C in 5% CO2. For cell starvation, the culture medium of the MDCK and SH-SY5Y
cells was replaced with fresh DMEM medium containing 0.25% FBS, and
the cells were then incubated overnight and for 2 days, respectively.
After cell starvation, the culture medium of the MDCK and SH-SY5Y
cells was replaced with fresh medium (0.25% FBS) containing one of
the chemical compounds or ampicillin (30 μM) as a negative control.
The MDCK and SH-SY5Y cells subsequently were incubated for 1 and 2
days, respectively. We added 10 μL/well of Cell Counting Kit-8
and after 3 h measured the absorbance (450 nm) of WST-8 formazan using
a micro plate reader (BioRad).

HepG2, HEK293T, and NIH3T3 cell lines was purified. Cells (2 × 106) were spread on a 10 cm dish and incubated with Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) medium (FUJIFILM Wako) containing 10% fetal calf serum (FCS). EVs in the FCS were eliminated by 1,00,000 × g ultracentrifugation. Cell lines were cultured until they reached 90% confluence at 37°C with 5% CO2. Then, the culture medium was changed to fresh DMEM containing 2% FCS (2% FCS-DMEM) and incubated for 24 h. The collected conditioned culture media were centrifuged at 3,000 × g for 10 min and 10,000 × g for 30 min at 4°C, followed by microfiltration with Millipore 0.22 μm filters. Filtrated conditioned culture media were reacted with MagCapture, and cell line-derived EVs were eluted using the same procedure as that used for serum EVs. Measurement of collected EV solutions using the Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit and NanoSight was performed according to the same procedure as that for serum. The particle numbers per frame used were 42, 50, or 39 particles/frame for recording of HepG2, HEK293T, and NIH3T3 cells in Raw mode, respectively.

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.
