Hank s balanced salt solution

Manufactured by STEMCELL

Hank's Balanced Salt Solution is a buffered saline solution commonly used as a base medium for cell culture applications. It provides a balanced salt composition that helps maintain the physiological environment for cells in culture. The solution contains inorganic salts, glucose, and phenol red as a pH indicator.

The human OC cell lines SKOV3, IGROV1 and A2780 were from the American
Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD, USA). De-identified OC ascites samples
were obtained through an IRB approved protocol of the Indiana University Simon
Cancer Center Tissue Bank. Ascites tumor cells were collected by centrifugation
at 200 × g for 3 min. Erythrocytes were lysed by re-suspending the cell
pellet in a 1:4 mixture of cold Hank's balanced salt solution modified (StemCell
Technologies) supplemented with 2% FBS and red blood cell lysis buffer (0.8%
ammonium chloride, 0.1 mM EDTA, pH 7.4) for 5 min. After centrifugation at 350
× g for 5 min, 25,000 ascites derived tumor cells were cultured as
monolayers or spheroids. SKOV3 and primary OC cells were cultured in media
containing 1:1 MCDB 105 (Sigma) and M199 (Cellgro, Herndon, VA, USA)
supplemented with 10% FBS and antibiotics, while IGROV1 and A2780 cells were
grown in RPMI 1640 at 37°, under a humidified atmosphere containing 5%
CO2.

Irradiated AFT024 cells were seeded to confluency in 24-well plates in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium + 10% FBS + 0.05 mM 2-mercaptoethanol in a 33°C, 5% CO2 incubator. Complete media was made adding 0.22 μm filter–sterilized minimum essential medium α with nucleosides (StemCell Technologies) containing 1mM hydrocortisone (StemCell Technologies) to Myelocult M5300 (StemCell Technologies) for a final concentration of 1 μM hydrocortisone. AFT024 media was removed from the wells, and 200 000 whole bone marrow cells in 1 mL of complete media were added to each well. Cells were cultured for 1 week either in control media or in the presence of DCA (35 μM) or LCA (18 μM). After 1 week, media were removed and placed into a collection tube, adherent cells were washed with Hanks balanced salt solution (StemCell Technologies). Hanks balanced salt solution was removed and placed into the collection tube, and cells were treated with Trypsin-EDTA (0.05%; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Trypsinization was halted by washing cells with heat-inactivated FBS, followed by IMDM + 2% FBS. This was placed back into the collection tube and centrifuged to form pellet cells. The media were decanted via aspiration. Cells were resuspended in FACS buffer (PBS + 1% FBS) and stained for spectral flow cytometry.

Mechanical Dissociation of Keratinocyte Monolayers

Dispase-based mechanical dissociation assays were carried out as described (104 (link)). Keratinocytes were plated at a density of 1 × 106 cells per well of 6-well cell culture dishes. Upon reaching confluence, the calcium concentration of the medium was adjusted to 1.3 mM. Vehicle control (DMSO) or chemical inhibitors were added at the following concentrations: thapsigargin (1 μM), dabrafenib (1 μM), trametinib (1 μM), U0126 (10 μM), PD184352 (10 μM), or PD98059 (20 μM). After 24 to 72 hours, monolayers were washed with PBS and then incubated with 500 μL dispase (5 U/mL) in Hank’s balanced salt solution (StemCell Technologies, catalog 07913) for 30 minutes at 37°C. Next, 4.5 mL PBS was added to the wells, and all liquid plus released monolayers were transferred into 15 mL conical tubes, which were placed together in a rack and inverted 5–10 times to induce mechanical stress. Monolayer fragments were transferred back into 6-well cell culture plates and imaged with a 12-megapixel digital camera. Fragments were counted in Fiji.

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.
