Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HSC-T6 cells [25 (link)] were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY, USA) with 1% heat-inactivated foetal bovine serum (HyClone, Logan, UT, USA), penicillin (100 U/mL), streptomycin (100 μg/mL), non-essential amino acids (0.1 mM), and L-glutamine (2 mM) in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2. To generate long-term, low-dose, DEHP-exposed HSCs, HSC-T6 cells were exposed to 50 and 100 µM DEHP (Alfa Aesar, USA), and the medium containing DEHP was renewed every 2–3 days. After 3.5 months, long-term, low-dose, DEHP-exposed HSCs were obtained. Cell morphology was recorded by using an Olympus CKX41 microscope (Tokyo, Japan). To study the effect of long-term exposure to low-dose DEHP on PDGF-BB-induced cell proliferation, cells were seeded in 6-well plates (2.5 × 105), and then were treated with 10 ng/mL PDGF-BB (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) for different amounts of time. The cells were then subjected to the following proliferation and Western blot analyses.

PDGF-BB Stimulation of Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMCs) were supported by American Type Culture Collection. The cells were grown in a six‐well plate in dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM; Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) and 1% penicillin‐streptomycin at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells at passages 2–3 were used for following experiments.
For the PDGF‐BB induction group, HASMCs were first serum deprived for 24 h and then induced with 25 ng/mL PDGF‐BB (R&D Systems) for 24 h.36 Experiments were repeated three times independently.

Rat aortic VSMCs (rVSMCs) were purchased from Cell Applications Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA) and cultured in smooth muscle cell basal medium (SmBM, Cell Applications) with 5% FCS and the appropriate supplementation. Cells at passages 3–5 were seeded onto 10 cm culture dishes (5 × 103 cells/cm2) and incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 for 72 h. After a wash with PBS, the rVSMCs were incubated for 24 h in serum- and supplement-free SmBM to arrest cell growth. Subsequently, the medium was changed to fresh α-MEM with 1%FCS and PDGF-BB (20 ng/ml; R&D systems, MN, USA) or to the MSC-CdM with 1%FCS and PDGF-BB. The cells were harvested 24 h after the stimulation, and the cell counts were measured as described previously [18] (link). The cell number ratio was defined as cell number divided by the number at baseline. The cells harvested on day 3 after the stimulation were used for western blotting and real time RT-PCR analyses.

Renal HRMC Culture and Treatments

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary renal HRMCs were purchased from ScienCell (San Diego, CA). HRMCs from the third to sixth passages were maintained in MC Medium (MsCM; ScienCell) according to the manufacturer's instructions. For experiments, the cells were grown to confluence, growth‐arrested in reduced serum (0.5% FBS) for 24 hours and split into different experimental groups.
For treatment with different concentrations of glucose, the cells were incubated in MsCM containing either 5 mmol/L glucose (normal glucose) or 30 mmol/L glucose (high glucose, HG) for 48 hours at 37°C. Cells incubated under identical experimental conditions with 5 mmol/L glucose and 25 mmol/L mannitol instead of 30 mmol/L glucose were used as osmotic controls. For treatment with PDGF‐BB, the cells were incubated in MsCM containing 20 ng/mL PDGF‐BB (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN) for 48 hours at 37°C.

Generation of iSTCs was performed according to our previous study with a slight modification33 (link) as summarized in Figure S3B. In brief, hiPSCs were plated on iMatrix-511 coated dishes in hiPSC medium supplemented with ROCK inhibitor Y-27632 (10 μM) before differentiation. We used DMEM/F12 (Gibco) containing 1x StemFit for Differentiation (AS401) (Ajinomoto Co., Inc) and 1% Glutamax as a base medium. For mesoderm induction stage, hiPSCs were cultured in the base medium supplemented with CHIR99021 (8 μM, Tocris Bioscience) and BMP4 (25 ng/mL). Medium was changed every day until day 3 of induction. On day 4, medium was changed to stromal cell induction medium consisting of the base medium supplemented with Activin A (2 ng/mL, PeproTech Inc.) and PDGF-BB (10 ng/mL, R&D Systems). From day 8, the medium was changed to stromal cell maturation medium consisting of the base medium supplemented with PDGF-BB (10 ng/mL). After the stromal cell induction stage, the medium was changed every 2 days.

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.
