Mouse oncogene-negative cell lines were generated from tumors initiated in Trp53flox/flox;TC BL6 mice four months after transduction with Lenti-sgNf1-sgRasa1-sgPten/Cre. After dissociation of tumors, cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco), and 0.1% Amphotericin (Life Technologies). HC494 and MW389T2 (KrasG12D and Trp53 mutant) lung adenocarcinoma cells were previously generated. Human oncogene-negative cell lines (NCI-H1838, NCI-H1623) and oncogene-positive cell lines (A549, H2009, NCI-H2009, SW1573, HOP62, NCI-H358, NCI-H1792) were purchased from ATCC and cultured in RPMI supplemented with 5%FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco), and 0.1% Amphotericin (Life Technologies). We performed mycoplasma testing using MycoAlert Mycoplasma Detection Kit (Lonza). Cell were maintained at 37°C in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2. NCI-H1838 and NCI-H1623 cell lines do not have any genomic mutation in components of PI3K pathway. Mutations of these two cell lines in components of RAS pathway are indicated below (extracted from DepMap):
NCI-H1838 mutations in RAS pathway: NF1(p.N184fs) and IQGAP2 (p.P780L)
NCI-H1623 mutations in RAS pathway: RASA1 (p.A47fs), FGFR2 (p.A355S), and ERF (p.G255C)

bEnd.3 cells were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA) and cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NY, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco), 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin, and 100 mg/mL amphotericin (Gibco) at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2; cells were subcultured every 2 days.
Cells were allowed to reach 90% confluence and then divided into five groups: control, 20 µM Aβ1–42, 20 µM Aβ1–42 and 50 µM Hyp, 20 µM Aβ1–42 and 200 µM Hyp, and 20 µM Aβ1–42 and 500 µM Hyp. After pretreatment with or without Hyp for 2 hours, bEnd.3 cells were cultivated with or without Aβ 20 µM for 24 hours, and then examined by different experimental approaches.

Liposuctioned samples were collected from healthy patients after obtaining their written consent according to the ethics of Stem Cell Technology Research Center (Tehran, Iran). Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) were isolated according to a previously published procedure.10 (link) Isolated cells were cultured in DMEM (Gibco, Cat. No. 21885025) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, Cat. No. 10270106), 1% pen/strep (Gibco, Cat. No. 15070063), and 1% amphotericin (Gibco, Cat. No. R01510). Cells used for differentiation experiments were collected after 3 to 6 subcultures.
To confirm the multipotent characteristics of the isolated cells, osteogenic and adipogenic differentiations were conducted and then treated cells were stained by Alizarin Red (Fisher Chemical, CAS Number: 130-22-3) and oil Red (Acros Organics, CAS Number: 1320-06-5), respectively. Moreover, expression levels of CD90, CD10, CD34, and CD45 were analyzed by flow cytometry and the histograms were drawn using color codes.

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.
