Prostate Cell Culture Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Normal human epithelial prostate cells (RWPE-1), which express the androgen receptor, were compared with androgen sensitive, human prostate cancer cells (LNCaP). Androgen independent human prostate cancer cells (PC3) were used for in vitro scratch assays due to their ability to produce a monolayer in culture. Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK293) were used for tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) shedding experiments.
All cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). HEK293 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) [low glucose; Gibco] containing 10 % fetal calf serum (FCS) and 1 % penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen, USA). RWPE-1 cells were cultured in Keratinocyte Serum Free Medium (K-SFM; GIBCO) containing 0.05 mg/ml bovine pituitary extract (BPE) and 5 ng/ml human recombinant epidermal growth factor (EGF) provided with the K-SFM kit. LNCaP and PC3 cells were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 media (RPMI) (Sigma-Aldrich, Germany) with 10 % FCS and 1 % penicillin/streptomycin. To maintain viable healthy and undifferentiated cells, RWPE-1, LNCaP and PC3 cells were maintained until they reached 70 % confluency and were then transferred into a 75 cm2 flask. Cells were split into 6 well Cell Bind (Costar), 12 well Cell Bind (Costar) or 96 well cell culture plates for further studies.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Production of the NT2.N/A co-cultures was based on previous plating methods ([19 (link), 31 (link)] with modifications as previously described by ourselves [32 (link),33 (link)]. Briefly, NT2.D1 cells (2 × 106 cells/75 cm2 flask) were treated (unpassaged, to allow a build-up of layers of cells) for 4 weeks using DMEM high glucose medium (DMEM-HG), changed twice weekly and supplemented with 10% (v/v) foetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin and 1 × 10-5 M all-trans retinoic acid (RA). Differentiated cells were replated (sub-cultured 1:3; replate #1) and incubated for two days, then dislodged and replated onto CellBIND (Corning, Netherlands) 6-well plates (2.5 × 106 cells/well, replate #2) and treated with mitotic inhibitors for 28 days; 0.1 μM cytosine arabinoside (for the first 7 days only), 3 μM fluorodeoxyuridine and 5 μM uridine. No further passaging took place as cells had reached a post-mitotic stage. For some experiments, 12 mm poly-D-lysine (PDL)/Laminin Corning Biocoat round coverslips (VWR International, Lutterworth, UK) were placed in the wells prior to replate #2.

Fluorometric Calcium Assay for TP Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The calcium assay was performed on a fluorometric imaging plate reader (FLIPR) (Molecular Devices) as previously described (Siangjong et al., 2013 (link)). Briefly, TPα-HEK cells were seeded (5×104 cells per well) in phenol red-free growth media in a black CellBIND surface 96-well plate with clear bottoms (Corning). A monolayer of cells at 80–90% confluency was loaded with Fluo-4 calcium dye according the manufacture’s protocol (Fluo-4 NW calcium assay kit, Molecular Probes). Cells were incubated with the dye for 15 min at 37°C followed by an additional 10 min at room temperature. Test compounds, i.e., vehicle control, hepoxilins and trioxilins were added to the cells and incubated for 4 min. Subsequently, U46619 was added and the fluorescence was measured. After the assay, cells were lysed with NaOH (2 N) for 2 h at 60°C, followed by HCl (2 N). Samples were then collected and used for protein concentration measurement using the BCA assay (Pierce BCA protein assay kit, Thermo scientific). Fluorescence was normalized to total cellular protein. Results are presented as % maximum fluorescence (per μg protein) evoked by U46619 in the presence of a test compound compared to a vehicle control (100%).

HEK 293 cells were plated in a six-well plate (CellBind, Corning, Corning, NY) at 350,000 cells per well. The following day, cells were transfected with 2 µg of CFTR-G542X minigene plasmid, described above, and with 10 µL Lipofectamine 2000 reagent, according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Life Technologies). Transfection media were removed from cells the next day and replaced with DMEM growth media supplemented with 10% bovine serum albumin and 1% penicillin/streptomycin for an additional 24 h. At this time, cells were subjected to selection media containing 800 µg/mL hygromycin for 7 d. Hygromycin-resistant cells were pooled from all wells and expanded for an additional 14 d. The HEK 293 CFTR-G542X stable cell line was shown to express G542X-CFTR protein by Western blots following incubation with a known aminoglycoside readthrough agent (G418)15 (link) (Fig. 1B). The cell line was shown to express functional CFTR following G418 incubation in an FMP membrane potential assay in comparison with the parental HEK 293 cells to establish G542X-CFTR responsiveness to readthrough modulators.
