Fibroblast Isolation from Colorectal Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fibroblasts were derived from colorectal cancer patients. NFs were isolated from normal colon segment with a distance of approximately 20 cm from the tumor and TAFs were isolated from the tumor of the same patient with moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma and lymph node metastasis. Tissue pieces were washed rigorously with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), antibiotic-antimycotic (10×) (Lonza), gentamycin (10×) (Lonza) and cut into pieces for incubation overnight at 37 °C in DMEM (Euroclone, Milano, IT), antibiotic-antimycotic (1×), gentamycin (1×) in the presence of collagenase type II 150 U/ml (Gibco). After incubation, the solution was centrifuged briefly to remove undigested tissue pieces and plated on gelatin (1 g/l) pre-treated dishes in αMEM (Euroclone) supplemented with 10% defined FBS (GE-Healthcare), non-essential amino acids (Euroclone), L-alanine-l-glutamine (Euroclone), penicillin/streptomycin (5×) (Euroclone), antibiotic-antimycotic (5×), and gentamycin (5×).

Isolation of Colon Fibroblasts from Tumor and Normal Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Normal colon naive fibroblasts and tumour-associated fibroblasts (TAFs) were derived from the same patient diagnosed with colon adenocarcinoma. The naive fibroblasts were isolated from the normal colon segment approximately 20 cm from the tumour close to the edge of the isolated colon segment that was histologically free of neoplasia. The isolated tissues were washed rigorously in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), an antibiotic-antimycotic (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland), gentamycin (Lonza) and cut into pieces for incubation overnight at 37 °C in αMEM (Euroclone, Milano, IT) with antibiotic-antimycotic and gentamycin in the presence of collagenase type II 150 U/ml (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA). The next day, the undigested tissue pieces were removed by centrifugation, and the supernatant was plated on gelatine (1 g/l) pre-treated dishes in αMEM (Euroclone) supplemented with 10% defined FBS (GE-Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA), non-essential amino acids (Euroclone), L-alanine-L-glutamine (Euroclone), penicillin/streptomycin (Euroclone), antibiotic-antimycotic, and gentamycin.

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.
