The human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, LS180 and Caco-2, were purchased from European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC) collections (KAC, Hyogo, Japan). LS180 cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) containing 1,500 mg/L glucose (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical, Osaka, Japan) and Caco-2 cells were cultured in DMEM with 4,500 mg/L glucose. In both the cases, the medium was supplemented with heat-inactivated 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Cosmo Bio, Tokyo, Japan). The cultures were maintained at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2.
The acidic cell culture medium (pH 6.5) was obtained by the addition of 35–37% HCl solution to DMEM containing 1,500 mg/L glucose supplemented with heat-inactivated 10% FBS by measuring pH with a FiveEasy Plus FEP20 pH Meter (METTLER TOLEDO, Tokyo, Japan). LS180 cells were grown for a sufficient time in normal medium and were subsequently maintained in the acidic cell culture medium (pH 6.5) for a few days as described previously with some modifications [26 (link)–28 (link)].

Established human colon cancer cell lines (LS180, HCT116, and HT29) were purchased from European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC) and immediately stored in liquid nitrogen. Cells used for specific investigations were recovered from cryopreserved aliquots and cultured for a maximum of 10 passages.

COLO-205, SW48, SW480, LS180, LS174-T, HT-29, T84 and LoVo cells were purchased from the European Collection of Cell Cultures (ECACC). Cells in culture were maintained as a subconfluent monolayer in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's medium supplied with non-essential amino acids (LS180 and LS174-T), Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium-F12 nutrient mixture (T84), McCoy 5-A medium (HT-29), L15 Leivobitz medium (SW48 and SW480), Nutrient Mixture F12 HAM (LoVo) and RPMI 1640 (COLO-205) purchased from Sigma. Each cell line was grown under identical conditions, and cell culture medium supplements were provided according to the manufacturer's instructions. To ectopically overexpress c-Src kinase protein, subconfluent SW480 and T84 cells were transfected with 0.4 μg of pBABE-puro expression plasmid carrying cDNA from a c-Src gene. Stable clones of the T84 cell line were selected in F12/DMEM medium supplied with 0.5 μg of puromycin for 3 weeks. In the same way, stable clones of the SW480 cell line were selected in L15 Leivobitz medium supplied with 0.5 μg of puromycin. As a control, subconfluent SW480 and T84 cells were transfected with 0.4 μg of DNA containing an empty pBABE-puro expression plasmid. Positive clones were selected for protein expression measured by Western blotting. The entire set of transfected clones was used as a stable pool for transfection.

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.
