Isolation of mononuclear myogenic cells from adult tibialis anterior muscle was performed as described previously (Murphy et al., 2014 (link)). Tibialis anterior muscles were dissected, minced, and digested for 1 hr at 37°C in 100 μl of 5 mg/ml liberase (Sigma-Aldrich, 5401127001) and 25 μl of 10 U/µl DNAseI (Sigma-Aldrich, 4716728001) in 3 ml Ham’s F12 media (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 11765054). Samples were passed through 70 μm and 40 μm filters, centrifuged at 1800 rpm for 10 min, aspirated supernatant, and pellet resuspended in satellite cell growth media (15% horse serum [Gibco, 16050-122], 1:1000 50 mg/ml gentamicin [Thermo Fisher Scientific, 15750060] in F12 media). Myogenic mononuclear cells were isolated and sorted via GFP on Propel Labs Avalon (Bio-Rad).

Cells were grown in an incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2. SUM-159 cells received from Dr. Steven P. Ethier (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI) were grown in HAMS F-12 media (ThermoFisher 11765054), supplemented with 6 μg/mL insulin (Sigma I9278), 0.01 M HEPES (Sigma H3375), 1 μg/mL hydrocortisone (Sigma H4001), 1X antibiotic-antimycotic (anti-anti; ThermoFisher 15240062), and 5% FBS (Atlanta Biologicals S11550H). MCF-7 and T47D cells were received from ATCC and grown in DMEM media (ThermoFisher 11965092) containing 1% penicillin/streptomycin (ThermoFisher 15070063) and 10% FBS. Media containing charcoal-stripped bovine serum (Atlanta Biologicals S11650H) was used for indicated assays. For experiments with β-estradiol stimulation, cells were stripped of hormones with media containing CSS for three days prior to stimulation. All cell lines were authenticated by DNA fingerprinting using short tandem repeat (STR) profiling. Cells were routinely tested for mycoplasma using the MycoAlert Mycoplasma Detection kit (Lonza LT07).

HPV38-Derived Murine SCC Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A UV-induced SCC cell line derived from HPV38E6E7-FVB mice was created in-house (HPV38 SCC cell line) and cultured in modified Ham’s F12 media (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) as mentioned in previous research [27 (link)]. The HPV38 SCC cell line is a regressor cell line, which is unable to grow in immune-competent animals. HPV38E6E7-FVB mice were thus immunosuppressed by being placed on the TAC-infused diet for 7–8 days prior to subsequent (day 0) with SCC cells on the lower back (subcutaneously s.c. injection, 106 cells/mouse in 100 μL PBS). Mice were maintained on the TAC-infused diet (until removal if relevant as indicated in the figure legends) and tumour growth was recorded every 3–5 days by measuring the major dimension (D) and minor dimension (d) of the tumour via a digital calliper. Measurements were transformed into tumour volume using the formula: tumour volume (cm3) = [D × d2]/2. Euthanasia was performed when the tumour reached a maximum volume of 1 cm3. Histology was performed by the QIMR Berghofer Histology Facility (Brisbane, Australia).

The Flp-In-CHO cell line (Thermo Fisher) was grown in Ham’s F12 media (Thermo Fisher) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 1% Pen-Strep and 100 µg/mL Zeocin (Thermo Fisher). A sequence encoding the full-length I-Ab alpha chain (NCBI Ref seq: NM_010378.2) was cloned into the pcDNA3.1-Neo vector (Invitrogen) and transfected into Flp-In CHO cells using Lipofectamine (ThermoFisher). Two days after transfection, cells were washed once with PBS and complete Ham’s media containing 1 mg/ml G418 Geneticin (Thermofisher) was added. Resistant cells expressing the I-Ab alpha chain were selected and expanded for further co-transfection with the I-Ab beta chain library as described below.

Human CCA cells, including KKU-100 (JCRB1568), KKU-213A (JCRB1557), KKU-213C cells [21 (link)], were employed in this study based on our previous report in which these cells showed high FGFR2 protein expression [9 ]. These CCA cells were developed at the Cholangiocarcinoma Research Institute, Khon Kaen University, and deposited in the Japanese Cancer Research Resources Bank (JCRB, Ibaraki city, Osaka, Japan). The CCA cell lines were cultured in Ham's F12 media (21700075, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, MA, USA), supplemented with 10 % FBS (10100147, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, MA, USA), 10,000 units/mL penicillin-gentamicin, and 10 mM HEPES.

NP tissue was obtained from to-be-discarded surgical waste tissues (exempt from IRB review, Washington University Institutional Review Board) of patients (ages 16–75, male and female) receiving surgical treatment for degenerative conditions of the IVD; only demographic information was collected on each patient (age, race, and sex). NP cells were enzymatically isolated from tissues, as previously described (Bridgen et al., 2017 (link); Fearing et al., 2019 (link)). In brief, the NP tissue was digested for 2–4 h at 37 °C [0.4 % collagenase type II (Worthington Biochemical; Lakewood, NJ, USA), 0.2 % pronase (Roche; Basel, Switzerland), and 5 % FBS; 23 mL/g tissue]. Isolated NP cells were passed through a 70 μm filter and then expanded in monolayer culture using Ham’s F12 media (Life Technologies; Carlsbad, CA, USA) supplemented with 1 % penicillin/streptomycin and 10 % FBS under 5 % CO2 and atmospheric O2 at 37 °C. Cells were not used for experimentation past passage 4, and all experiments were conducted using at least 3 human subjects (biological replicates); assay-specific samples sizes are detailed below.

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.
