Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Humans ASCs were a kind gift of Dr. Jeffrey Gimble. The hASCs were isolated under an Institutional Review Board approved protocol according to published methods [24 ]. Cells from pooled donors were used at passages 3 – 5.
A vial of pooled Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) (Lonza, USA) were expanded in tissue culture flasks up to Passage 5 using Endothelial Basal Medium 2 (EBM-2) culture medium (Lonza, USA) supplemented with the Endothelial Growth Medium-2 (EGM-2) Bullet Kit (Hydrocortisone, human fibroblast growth factor (hFGF)-2, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), R3-insulin-lke growth factor (IGF)-1, ascorbic acid, human epidermal growth factor (hEGF), Gentamicin & Amphotericin (GA-1000), and Heparin) and 2% FBS. HUVECs were used for experimentation at Passage 6.

Human dermal microvascular endothelial cells (HMECs; Ades et al., 1992 (link)) were grown in MCDB 131 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS, 0.003 mg/ml human EGF, 0.001 mg/ml hydrocortisone, and l-glutamine. Primary human pulmonary arterial endothelial cells were grown in EBM-2 culture medium (Lonza) supplemented with 15% FBS and EGM-2 bullet kit (Lonza) and were used at passages 2–6. All cell lines were maintained at 37°C and 5% CO2.
Endothelial cells were plated on glass-bottom coverslips coated with 0.2% gelatin and transfected at 70–80% confluency using X-tremeGENE HP DNA transfection reagent according to manufacturer’s protocol (Roche). For adenoviral infection, endothelial cells were exposed to the adenoviral particles overnight and were used for live-cell imaging at 24–72 h after infection. The procedure was handled according to National Institutes of Health safety guidelines for materials containing BSL-2 organisms. Cells were treated with 20 µM cRO or 10 µM blebbistatin (Toronto Research Chemicals) for 10 min before experiments.

HUVEC Culture Conditions and Treatments

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) were purchased from Corning Inc. HUVECs were cultured in endothelial basal medium-2 (EBM-2) culture medium (Lonza Inc.) with 2% fetal bovine serum. Cells were grown at 37°C and 5% CO2 on tissue culture dishes in a humidified incubator with media changes every two days. Cells were passaged using 0.25% Trypsin (Invitrogen), and passages 2-7 were used in the experiments. DAPT, Y-27632, blebbistatin, nocodazole and calyculin A were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Jag1 peptide (188-204) was acquired from Anaspec. HUVECs were treated with DAPT (20 μM), Jag1 peptide (20 μM), blebbistatin (20 μM), nocodazole (1 μM), and calyculin A (5 nM).

Example 8

Human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs) at passage 3 or 4 were plated in 48-well microtiter dishes at a density of 28,000 cells per well. Cells were maintained in 0.5 mL of either PBD or EBM-2 culture medium (Lonza) on GRF-Matrigel for 3 days. HUVECs were then incubated with different concentrations of placenta-derived adherent cell exosomes isolated from either serum-containing (“growth exosomes”) or serum-free (“SF exosomes”) placenta-derived adherent cell cultures. HUVEC growth patterns, including node formation and tube segment length (surrogates for angiogenic potential) were monitored every two hours for 18-19 hours total. HUVEC growth parameters were determined using IncuCyte live cell imaging system (Essen BioScience) and quantified using ImageJ.

Pooled human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) from different donors (LONZA, Walkersville, MD, USA) were cultured in EBM-2 culture medium supplemented with EGM-2 bullet kit (LONZA) on gelatin-coated tissue dishes. HUVECs up to passage 6 were used for experiments. COS-7 cells, transformed African green monkey kidney fibroblast cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA), and HEK293T cells (a gift from Dr. Yuanfei Wu, Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA) were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen). Primary mouse lung microvascular endothelial cells were isolated from mice lung by the method previously described [63] (link), [64] (link) and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum, penicillin/streptomycin, non-essential amino acids (Invitrogen) and 20 µg/ml endothelial mitogen (Biomedical Technologies, Inc., Stoughton, MA, USA).

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.
