Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Experiments were performed using two human cell lines, namely epithelial human lung adenocarcinoma A549 (ATCC CCL-185) and human embryonic kidney HEK293 (ATCC CRL-1573). Both cell lines adhere to plastic and glass surfaces and were maintained in the cell culture under the same conditions. Cells were grown in Dulbecco Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), supplemented with 10% of foetal bovine serum (FBS, Sigma Aldrich, USA), and incubated in the cell incubator (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) at 37 °C and 5% CO2 in a humidified atmosphere.

The isolated compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (Biosesang, Seong-Nam, Korea) to prepare 10 mM stock solutions. The isolated compounds were diluted in DMEM without FBS at concentrations of 25, 50, and 100 μM. The concentration of the TNF-α stock solution was 20 μg/mL, and the final treatment concentration was 20 ng/mL. In all experiments, the cells were seeded onto a cell culture plate and starved in DMEM without FBS overnight. The cells were then co-treated with TNF-α and the isolated compounds.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HEK293T cells (CRL-11268, ATCC) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Gibco) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and penicillin–streptomycin (100 μg/ml and 100 μg/ml).
Cortical neurons were obtained from postnatal day 0 (P0) pups of Kunming mice, as described previously (Wang et al., 2020 (link)). Briefly, the cortex was dissected from newborn mice, digested to single cell with 0.25% trypsin (Gibco) for 12 min at 37°C. Then cells were plated at a density of 80,000 per circular glass coverslips (12 mm diameter) coated with poly-L-lysine (Sigma). Cells seeding medium contains MEM (Gibco), 2% (v/v) B27 (Gibco), 0.5% (w/v) glucose, 100 mg/L transferrin (Sigma), 5% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (Gibco), and 2 mM Ara-C (Sigma). During the process of neuron culture, the growth medium was needs to replace in DIV1 (the day 1 in vitro), DIV4, and DIV9. Each time 500 μl medium was taken out and 600 μl was added in. Different concentrations (0 μM, 10 μM, or 50 μM) of Zn2+ were added in culture medium from DIV1.
HEK293T cells and neurons were all grown at 37°C, 5% CO2 in a cell incubator (Thermo).
All animal procedures were carried out in accordance with the animal use rules of South-Central Minzu University and the requisite approvals of the animal use committee.

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.
