Characterization of HEK293 Cells Expressing Nicotinic Receptors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HEK293 (293) cell line stably co-transfected with rat nAChR subunits α4 and β2 are well characterized [6 (link),11 (link),12 (link)], and they were maintained as described previously [9 (link),10 (link),14 (link)]. This cell line also expresses TNFR1 (only weak expression of TNFR2 is detected) and no additional human nAChR subunits or acetylcholine synthetic enzymes are detected [9 (link),10 (link)]. As before treatments were conducted 48 hours after cell plating [9 (link),10 (link),14 (link)]. The source and optimal concentrations of the inhibitors used are as follows: From Sigma; 1 μM nicotine (nicotine hydrogen tartrate); 250 μM choline (choline chloride); hemicholinium-3 (HC3; 50 μM). From Biosource; 25 ng/ml human TNFα. From Tocris Bioscience: 1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexabromocyclohexane (1-6Hex; 50 μM), tyrphostin 2-cyano-3-(3,4-dihydrophenyl)-N-(phenylmethyl)-2-propenamide (AG-490; dose as in text), Cucurbitacin I (100 nM); GSK690693 (5 μM), Lestaurtinib (300 nM), Ly294002 (10 μM), PI 828 (20 nM), SB2020190 (10 μM), Wortmannin (3 μM), ZM 39923 (50 μM), ZM449829 (50 μM). From Cayman Chemical: AS-605240 (20–100 nM); PIK-75 (50 μM). Most inhibitors were dissolved in either DMSO or ethanol as the carrier and in all cases the carrier was added to cultures at the same concentration as before [9 (link),10 (link),14 (link)].

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.
