Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs; ATCC, Manassas, VA) were expanded in growth media consisting of Endothelial Cell Growth Kit-VEGF (ATCC® PCS-100-041) in Vascular Cell Basal Medium (ATCC® PCS-100-030) under the standard culture condition (37 °C with 5% CO2 in a humid environment) to 80% confluency before passaging. HUVECs at passages 5-7 were used.
The effect of the iodixanol introduction on the cytotoxicity of BRS was evaluated by means of an indirect cytotoxicity assay following ISO 10993-5: 2009. Specifically, the BRS were first sterilized by Ethylene Oxide and 0.5 mL of growth media was incubated with BRS for 24 hours at 37 °C with agitation. Next, the liquid extracts of different BRS were collected and added to HUVECs at sub-confluence in 24-well pates. After incubation for 24 hours, cells were incubated with growth media containing 0.5 mg/mL MTT (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA) for 3 hours. After replacing the MTT solution with DMSO, the plate was shaken for 15 min to solubilize the formazan crystals, and the absorbance of each well was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader Cytation 5 (BioTek Instruments). The number of viable cells per well was calculated against a standard curve prepared by plating various concentrations of isolated cells, as determined by hemocytometer, in triplicate in the culture plates.

Endothelial cells (EC) from human aorta (TeloHAEC cell line, CRL-4052) were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and grown as a monolayer, at 37 °C under a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2, in Vascular Cell Basal Medium (PCS-100-030, ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) supplemented with Endothelial Cell Growth kit-VEGF (PCS-100-041, ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). To induce insulin-resistance (IR), EC were exposed to palmitic acid (PA) up to 1.5 mM for 24 and 48 h. To confirm the IR assessment, the 48 h treatment with PA was followed by incubation with 100 nM recombinant human insulin (91077C, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) for 30 min, as previously described [26 (link)]. δ-Valerobetaine (δVB) synthesis and purification were carried out as previously described [25 (link)]. δVB was dissolved in Hanks’ balanced salt solution (HBSS)-10 mM Hepes and treatments were performed for a maximum time of 72 h with betaine concentrations from 0.1 up to 1 mM. For combined treatments (δVB+PA), EC were pre-treated for 16 h with 0.5 mM δVB, followed by removal of δVB and exposure to PA (0.5 mM) for 48 h. Control cells (Ctr) were maintained in a complete culture medium with the corresponding volume of HBSS-10 mM Hepes.

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.
