Cell lines were tested and authenticated following the manufacturer’s instructions: DSMZ for NB4 and ATCC for all the others. HCT-116 and HT-29 (colon cancer), MCF7 (breast cancer), A549 (lung cancer), MiaPaCa (pancreas carcinoma), and A2058 (melanoma) cells were propagated in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Euroclone, Milan, Italy) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Euroclone), 2 mM L-glutamine (Euroclone) and antibiotics (100 U/ml penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin; Euroclone). NB4 (acute promyelocytic leukemia) and K562 (chronic myelogenous leukemia) cells were propagated in RPMI-1640 medium containing 4.5 g/L glucose (Euroclone) supplemented with 10% FBS (Euroclone), 100 U/mL penicillinstreptomycin (Euroclone) and 2 mM L-glutamine (Euroclone). MRC5 (normal human lung) cells were propagated in Eagle’s minimum essential medium (Euroclone) supplemented with 10% FBS (Euroclone), and 10 μg/ml gentamicin solution (Euroclone).

Culturing Skin Fibroblasts from PD Patients

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human skin biopsies from PD patients harboring the PINK1 or PARKIN mutations or healthy controls were obtained after signing an informed consent approved by the ethics committee of the IRCCS Foundation Neurological Institute ‘C. Besta’, Italy. Skin fibroblasts grown following the protocol described by us previously (Zanellati et al., 2015 (link)). Briefly, cells were grown in Ham’s F14 medium (Euroclone) supplemented with 10% FBS, 4% L-glutamine, 2% penicillin/streptomycin, 1.5% glucose, 1% insulin, 0.1% fibroblast growth factor, and 0.1% epidermal growth factor. Prior to the experiment, the growth medium was changed to Eagle’s minimum essential medium (Euroclone) supplemented with 10% FBS, 4% L-glutamine, and 2% penicillin/streptomycin. Human skin fibroblast cells used in our experiments were at passages 8–12. Phenotypic or genotypic data of the PD patients (with PINK1 and PARKIN mutations) and healthy controls are summarized in Table S6 and Key Resources Table.

Immortalized Hepatic Stellate Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LX2 (a human immortalized hepatic stellate cell line), HSC-T6 (a rat immortalized hepatic stellate cell line), and HeLa (a human cervical carcinoma cell line) cells were cultured at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (Euroclone - Milan, Italy) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (Euroclone), 2 mM L-Glutamine and antibiotics. HepG2 cells (a human hepatocarcinoma cell line) were cultured at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 in Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (Euroclone) containing 10% Fetal Bovine Serum, 2 mM L-Glutamine and antibiotics.

Investigating MK-7 and Simvastatin Effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Eagle’s minimum essential medium (MEM), trypsin-EDTA, penicillin, streptomycin, sodium pyruvate, L-glutamine, nonessential amino acid solution, fetal calf serum (FCS), plates, and Petri dishes were purchased from EuroClone. Squalene was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO, USA). RenaTris® capsules (500 mg) and MK-7 powder was supplied by PharmaNutra (Pisa, Italy), the contents of which were dissolved in 1.5 mL ethanol; the insoluble portion was separated by centrifugation. The supernatant was then evaporated under nitrogen flux and redissolved in 36 µL of ethanol in order to obtain a final concentration of 1.5 × 10−3M of MK-7. The final concentration of MK-7 was added to the cultured media was 1.8 µM. Simvastatin was dissolved in a physiological solution at 50 mM. Inorganic phosphate (Pi) solution was prepared by titrating 100 mM Na2HPO4 solution with 100 mM NaH2PO4 solution up to a pH of 7.4. All of the stock solutions were filtered through a 0.22 µM filter and stored at −20 °C. The Pi solution was stored at 4 °C.

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.
