Hypoxia-induced cytotoxicity in MIN6 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The MIN6 cell line was purchased from Fenghbio Biological Ltd. (Fenghbio, Changsha, China) and tested regularly for mycoplasma contamination using a one-step mycoplasma detection kit (YiseMed, Shanghai, China). The MIN6 murine beta-cell line was cultured at 37 °C in an incubator containing 5% CO2 with RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS and 100 units/mL penicillin/streptomycin; 0.25% trypsin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to detach the cells, and they were passaged at a 1:3 ratio when the cell density reached around 80–90%. The hypoxia parameters were 1% O2 + 5% CO2. Various doses of 4-OI (Selleck, Houston, TX, USA), FX-11 (MCE, Monmouth Junction, South Brunswick Township, NJ, USA), and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) (Selleck, Houston, TX, USA) were used to pretreat cells for 4 h before incubation under hypoxic conditions.

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.
