Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK-293T cells (E1A-transformed human embryonic kidney cells carrying a temperature sensitive T antigen), were obtained from ATCC/LGC Standards (ATCC, CRL-3216), stored in liquid nitrogen and propagated for a limited number of passages to avoid selection of clonal variants. Cells were routinely maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing 4.5g/l glucose, 2 mM glutamine, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, nonessential amino acids, penicillin-streptomycin and 10% v/v fetal calf serum (EUROBIO, CVFSVF00–01). Cultures were passaged every 4 or 5 d by trypsinization.

Immortalized Rat Hypothalamic Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
rHypoE11 (rat) neuronal cell lines purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) was conditionally immortalized by transfer of a temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large tumors (SV40 T) antigen to primary hypothalamic neuronal cell cultures obtained from fetal mice on embryonic days E15, E17, and E18, and from E18 fetal rats [28 (link)]. Cells were cultivated in 1× Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, D5796, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Quentin Fallavier, France) with 10% fetal bovine serum (CVFSVF0001, lot: S52751-2262, Eurobio, Courtaboeuf, France), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (P4333, Sigma-Aldrich), and maintained at 37 °C with 5% CO2. For homogeneity, the same serum was used throughout all experiments. The cells grew to form a monolayer culture attached to the culture plate and were split when they reached 70–90% confluence, with a plate ratio of 1:5. Because standard DMEM does not contain vitamin B12, methyl donor deficiency was induced by using a poor medium (DMEM D2429, Sigma-Aldrich) lacking vitamin B9 (folic acid), with the addition of 2 mM glutamine (G7513, Sigma-Aldrich), 3.7% sodium bicarbonate (S8761, Sigma-Aldrich), 0.35% glucose (G8769, Sigma-Aldrich), 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Cells were kept in B9-free conditions for 24 or 48 h before subsequent analyses.

Devitalized Human Skin Fibroblast Sheets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human Skin Fibroblast (HSFs) isolation and culture were performed in accordance with article L. 1243-3 of the code of public health and under the agreement DC-2008-412 with the University Hospital Center of Bordeaux, France [update 10/10/2014] as previously described [13 (link),14 (link)]. Briefly, HSFs were isolated from adult normal human skin and grown in DMEM/F12 media (#31331-028, Gibco) supplemented with Fetal Bovine Serum (20%; #SH30109 HyClone; #S1810-500 Biowest or #CVFSVF00-01 Eurobio; 1:1). For CAM sheets production, HSFs (passage 5 or 6) were seeded (1 × 104 cells/cm2) in 6-well plates or in 225 cm2 flasks to obtain circular (3.5 cm diameter) or rectangular (10 × 18 cm) sheets. They were cultured for 8 weeks with a supplementation of sodium L-ascorbate (500 μM, #A4034-500 G, Sigma-Aldrich). CAM sheets were rinsed (distilled water), frozen at -80 °C, thawed and then rinsed (distilled water). Large sheets of 108 microns in thickness (± 31 μm, n = 24) were either cut into ribbons (5-mm-wide, with a custom-made automated device), into squares (approximatively 2 × 2 cm, with scissors) or into disks (6-mm-diameter, with biopsy punches) and then air-dried (sterile air flow, at least 2 h). We refer to these steps of freezing / thawing / drying by using the term “devitalization”. All samples were stored at 80 °C until needed.

K562 (ATCC®, CCL-243, described here as K562S to indicate sensitivity to doxorubicin), a human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line, was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). A doxorubicin-resistant cell line (K562R, also known as K562/Adr) was kindly provided by the IRSET institute (Research Institute for Environmental and Occupational Health, INSERM, University of Rennes 1, France). The cells were maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in Gibco™ 1640 Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI-1640) medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Life TechnologiesTM, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by Ficoll gradient centrifugation from blood buffy coats of healthy donors, provided by the Etablissement Français du Sang (EFS). The research protocol was conducted under French legal guidelines. After separation of monocytes by 1 h adhesion step, non-adherent PBMCs (peripheral blood lymphocytes, PBL) were harvested. PBL were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco, Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 10% decomplemented fetal bovine serum (CVFSVF00–01, Eurobio), penicillin (100 IU/mL), and streptomycin (100 μg/mL) (15140–122, Gibco).

mHypoE46 (mouse) et rHypoE11 (rat) neuronal cell lines purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) were conditionally immortalized by transfer of a temperature-sensitive simian virus 40 large tumor (SV40 T) antigen to primary hypothalamic neuronal cell cultures obtained from fetal mice on embryonic days E15, E17 and E18, and from E18 fetal rats [43 (link)]. Cells were cultivated in 1× Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM, D5796, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Quentin Fallavier, France) with 10% fetal bovine serum (CVFSVF0001, lot: S52751-2262, Eurobio, Courtaboeuf, France), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (P4333, Sigma-Aldrich) and maintained at 37 °C with 5% CO2. For homogeneity, the same lot of serum was used throughout all experiments. The cells grew to form a monolayer culture, attached to the culture plate and were split when they reached 70–90% confluence, with a plate ratio of 1:5. Because standard DMEM does not contain vitamin B12, methyl donor deficiency was induced by using a poor medium (DMEM D2429, Sigma-Aldrich) lacking B9 (folic acid), with addition of 2 mM glutamine (G7513, Sigma-Aldrich), 3.7% sodium bicarbonate (S8761, Sigma-Aldrich), 0.35% glucose (G8769, Sigma-Aldrich), 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin.

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.
