Tfk 1

Manufactured by RIKEN Cell Bank
Sourced in Japan

The TFK-1 is a laboratory equipment used for the cultivation and maintenance of cell lines. It provides a controlled environment for the growth and propagation of various cell types. The core function of the TFK-1 is to maintain optimal conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and gas composition, to support the proliferation and viability of cultured cells.

Human CCA cell lines, including H1 (OCUCh-LM1-H1)[9 (link)], HuCCT1[10 (link)], SSP-25[11 (link)], and ETK1[12 (link)] cell lines were kindly provided by Dr. Jack Wands. TFK-1 and RBE were purchased from RIKEN Cell Bank (Tsukuba, Japan). The non-malignant human bile duct cells hBD was purchased from Celprogen Inc (Torrance, CA, United States, Catalog Number: 36755-12). CCA cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; GibcoTM, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, United States; Cat# 10099141C), 100 μg/mL streptomycin, and 100 U/mL penicillin (HyClone™, Logan, UT, United States). The hBD cell line was grown in DMEM containing 10% FBS, 100 μg/mL strep. All cell lines were authenticated by STR and were negative for contamination of mycoplasma recently. Arcyriaflavin A, Flavopiridol, Roscovitine, and γ-secretase inhibitor, DAPT (N-[N-(3, 5-difluorophenacetyl)-l-alanyl]-s-phenylglycinet-butyl ester) were all purchased from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI, United States).

Establishment of Gemcitabine-Resistant BTC Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BTC cell lines (RBE, HuCCT1, SSP-25, TGBC-24TKB, and TFK-1) were purchased from the RIKEN Cell Bank (Ibaraki, Japan). BTC cell lines (SNU-308 and SNU-1196) were purchased from the Korean cell line bank (Seoul, Korea). RBE, HuCCT1, SSP-25, TFK-1 SNU-308, and SNU-1196 cell lines were grown in RPMI (Roswell Park Memorial Institute) medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin-streptomycin, L-glutamine, and sodium pyruvate. TGBC-24TKB cells were grown in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and penicillin–streptomycin. The gemcitabine-resistant cells (SNU-1196-GR and SSP-25-GR cells) were generated in the cell culture system. The cells were treated with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) dose of gemcitabine for one month (20 nM for SSP-25 cells and 10 nM for SNU-1196 cells). After one month, the media were replaced with the fresh media containing an IC90 dose of gemcitabine (250 nM for SSP-25 cells and 60 nM for SNU-1196 cells) for another month. After two months, the live cells were identified as gemcitabine-resistant cells. All the cell lines used in this study were tested for mycoplasma contamination and authenticated by STR (short tandem repeat) method. AZD0156 (ATM inhibitor), gemcitabine, and cisplatin were purchased from AdooQ BioScience (Irvine, CA, USA).

Bile Duct Cancer Cell Migration Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
KKU-213, KKU-214, KKU-156, KKU-100, KKU-055, HuCCA-1, HuCCT1 and MMNK-1 were obtained from Japanese Collection of Research Bioresources (JCRB) Cell Bank, Japan. RBE, SSP-25, and TFK-1 were obtained from RIKEN Cell bank, Japan. KKK-D068, KKK-D131, KKK-D138 were obtained from Khon Kaen University, Thailand18 (link). MCF7, HCT116, HeLa, A549 were purchased from ATCC. All cells were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere using growth media that were recommended by original cell sources (see complete details in Supplementary Table S1). The cell line panel consists of cancer of bile duct, which is known to be relatively migrative. Other cell lines with similar migratory property also include breast cancer (MCF7), lung cancer (A549), colorectal cancer (HCT116), and cervical cancer (HeLa). However, to test our novel method we selected a set of bile duct carcinoma cell lines known to be migrative as our model.

Six cholangiocarcinoma cell lines used in this study (HuCCT1, SSP-25, RBE, YSCCC, TGBC-24TKB and TFK-1) were purchased from RIKEN Cell Bank (Tsukuba, Japan). The HuCCT1, SSP-25 and RBE cell lines had a KRAS mutation, whereas the remaining three cell lines were KRAS wild type. All in vitro studies were performed at least in triplicate.

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.
