Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human retinal epithelial cell line ARPE-19 was purchased from The Cell Bank of Type Culture Collection of Chinese Academy of Sciences and cultured in DMEM/F12 (HyClone; Cytiva) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) at 37˚C in an incubator with 95% air/5% CO2. In order to examine the effects of hyperglycemia, ARPE-19 cells were cultured with high concentration of glucose (33 mM; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA), normal concentration of glucose (5.5 mM) or 27.5 mM mannitol + 5.5 mM glucose as an osmotic control for 48 h. ARPE-19 cells were pretreated with nesfatin-1 (2.5 or 5 ng/ml; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) for 1 h, followed by exposure to 33 mM glucose for 48 h (16 (link)).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A human RPE cell line (ARPE-19) was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). ARPE-19 cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM)/F12 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum in a humidified atmosphere at 37°C with 5% CO2. The ARPE-19 cells were used at passages two to four in all the experiments and were treated with recombinant TGF-β2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CAm USA) at a concentration of 10 ng/mL to simulate the PVR environment.
To disrupt the expression of EGFR, YAP, or RhoA, the ARPE-19 cells were treated with small interfering RNA (siRNA) against EGFR, YAP, or RhoA. EGFR-siRNA, YAP-siRNA, RhoA-siRNA and nonsilencing siRNA were obtained from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to perform transient transfection of siRNA. To disrupt EGFR signaling, ARPE-19 cells were treated with erlotinib (100 nM; Millipore) for 24 hours. To inhibit PI3K signaling, ARPE-19 cells were treated with LY294002 (25 µM; Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) or wortmannin (100 nM; Bio-Rad Laboratories). To disrupt PDK1 signaling, ARPE-19 cells were treated with GSK2334470 (10 µM; Bio-Rad Laboratories). To disrupt Akt signaling, ARPE-19 cells were treated with MK-2206 (10 µM; Millipore).

Two cell lines were included in the validation study: the ISO 10993-5 reference cell line, BALB/3T3, and ARPE-19 cell line, which simulate the cell type that comes in direct contact with PFCL during retina surgery. The murine fibroblast cells BALB/3T3 clone A31 (ATCC CCL163) and the human retinal pigment epithelial cell line ARPE-19 (ATCC CRL-2302) were obtained from the American Tissue Culture Collection (ATCC; Manassas, VA). After thawing, BALB/3T3 and ARPE-19 cells were grown in Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium (DMEM) with high glucose, L-glutamine, sodium pyruvate, and sodium bicarbonate (Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO) and DMEM/Nutrient Mixture F-12 medium with L-glutamine without (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES, Gibco, Monza, Italy), respectively, each supplemented with 10% of iron-fortified bovine calf serum (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich Corp.), as a monolayer in 75 cm2 culture flasks at 37°C ± 1°C, 90% ± 10% humidity, and 5.0% ± 1.0% CO2/air. The medium was changed every 48 hours. At 80% confluence, cells were removed from the flask by trypsinization. Single cell suspension was counted manually using trypan blue staining and a hemocytometer. The counting was repeated before each cell passage or seeding in 96-well plates. After thawing, cells were passaged two times before using them in the test.

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.
