Shear Stress Conditioning of Aortic Endothelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) were obtained commercially (GIBCO, C0065C or PromoCell, C-12271) and cultured according to the manufacturer’s standard protocol. HAECs were seeded at various density to meet the purposes of different studies, and maintained in EC medium containing growth supplements (EBM-2, Lonza, CC-3516, CC-4176 or PromoCell, C-22011) with 2% FBS. HAECs between passage 6 and 7 were used for experiments. For shear experiments, confluent HAECs in 100 mm dishes were exposed to steady laminar shear (LS, 15 dyn/cm2), or oscillatory shear (OS,  ±5 dyn/cm2) conditions for 2 days using a cone-and-plate shear device as previously described [20 (link), 21 (link)]. For shear experiments with gain of function or loss of function components, the commercially available Ibidi pump system (Ibidi, Germany) was used to reduce reagent use, and set up according to manufacturer instructions. LS (15 dyn/cm2) or OS (±5 dyn/cm2) was applied for 2 days to 80% confluent HAECs cultured overnight on microchannel slides (µ-Slide I0.4 Luer, Ibidi, Germany) coated with 40 μg/ml collagen (Collagen Type I, BD Biosciences 35–4236).

Vascular cell adhesion on PCL films

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs; C-12200 PromoCell GmbH, Heidelberg, DEU) and primary human umbilical artery smooth muscle cells (HUASMCs; C-12500 PromoCell GmbH, Heidelberg, DEU), were used to assess vascular cell adhesion onto the PCL film samples. HUVECs were cultured in endothelial cell growth medium (C-22011 PromoCell GmbH, Heidelberg, DEU ) supplemented with 1% (v/v) penicillin-streptomycin, 2% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 0.4% (v/v) endothelial cell growth supplement, 0.1 ng/ml EGF, 1 ng/ml bFGF, 90 μg/ml heparin, and 1 μg/ml hydrocortisone. HUASMCs were cultured in smooth muscle cell growth medium (C-22062 PromoCell GmbH, Heidelberg, DEU) supplemented with 1% (v/v) antibiotic-antimycotic, 5% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 0.5 ng/ml EGF, 2 ng/ml bFGF, and 5 μg/ml insulin. All cells were incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2 and grown to 80% confluency before use with experiments. Only passages between 3 and 6 were used for both cell lines.

Primary HUVECs (Promocell, C-12203) were cultured in endothelial cell growth medium 2 (EGM2) with a supplemental mix (Promocell, C-22011) and were used at passages 3–8. EA.hy926 (ATCC, CRL-2922), HEK-293T (Clontech, 632180), and NIH-3T3 (ATCC, CRL-1658) cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). All cells were maintained in a humidified atmosphere at 37°C and 5% CO2.

Quantifying Tumor Cytokines in Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure cytokines in tumor lysate, peritumor connective tissue and adipose tissue were carefully removed from tumors. Then tumors were quickly homogenized using the TissueLyser II (Qiagen) to ensure uniformity. Lysate was prepared using 1× PBS supplemented with a protease inhibitor cocktail (1:100, B14001; Sangon). following centrifugation, the supernatants were used for quantifying the concentration of MIF and active TGF-β1 with MIF ELISA kit (JL11079; Jianglaibio, China) and TGF-β1 ELISA kit (JL12223; Jianglaibio, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
To measure cytokines in cell supernatants, isolated CAFs and CD146+ cells were cultured in fibroblast growth medium 2 (C-23020, PromoCell) supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin (15070063, Gibco™) and in EC growth medium 2 (C-22011, PromoCell) supplemented with 1% penicillin/streptomycin (15070063, Gibco™), respectively. After 48 h, the supernatants of CAFs and CD146+ cells were collected and subjected for ELISA analysis using MIF ELISA kit (JL11079; Jianglaibio, China) and active TGF-β1 ELISA kit (JL12223; Jianglaibio, China) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Culturing and Activating Endothelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HUVECs were cultured on fibronectin (FN)-coated dishes, using Endothelial Basal Medium, supplemented with singlequots (Promocell, C-22011) and 100 U/mL penicillin and streptomycin (P/S) at 37ᵒC in 5% CO2 to create Endothelial Cell Growth Medium 2 (EGM-2). HUVECs were used between passage 4 and 7 and were never grown to grow above 70% confluency until a monolayer was required for an experiment. BOECs were cultured on 0.1% gelatin-coated dishes. For BOECs, 1:5 fetal calf serum (FCS) (Bodinco, Alkmaar, The Netherlands) was added to EGM-2, creating EGM-18 medium. To mimic inflammation in HUVECs or BOECs, TNFα (Peprotech, 300-01A) was added 10 ng/mL overnight to induce inflammatory protein expression in ECs. HEK-293T were purchased from ATCC (CRL-3216) and were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) (Gibco, 41965-039) containing 10% fetal calf serum, 100 U/mL P/S. Primary human neutrophils were collected from peripheral blood extracted from healthy voluntary donors, employed at Sanquin in The Netherlands, that signed informed consent according to the rules maintained by the Sanquin Medical Ethical Committee, which are based on rules and legislation in place within The Netherlands.

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.
