GBM cancer stem cell line 0308 was provided by Howard Fine (Department of Neurology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York, New York, USA) (37 (link), 77 (link)). TS667 from a patient with primary GBM was derived in-house (78 (link)), as was MGG8 from a patient with primary GBM (79 (link)). 0308 and TS667 cells were cultured in Neurobasal media (Life Technologies) supplemented with 0.5× B27 without vitamin A (Thermo Fisher), 0.5× N2 supplement (Thermo Fischer), 2 mM L-glutamine (Thermo Fisher), 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Thermo Fisher), 50 μg/ml EGF (Peprotec), and 50 μg/ml basic FGF (Peprotec). MGG8 cells were cultured in Neurobasal media (Life Technologies) supplemented with 1× B27 without vitamin A, 1× N2 supplement, 3 mM GlutaMAX (Gibco), 5 mg/ml heparin (Stem Cell Technologies), 20 ng/ml EGF (Peprotec), and 20 μg/ml basic FGF (Peprotec).
