culture medium

mode of growth

maintained in a 1:1 mixture of Ham's F12, DMEM, 10% fetal bovine serum supplemented with 100 μg/ml penicillin G (Sigma), 100 μg/ml streptomycin sulfate (Sigma), cells were plated in 150 cm2cell culture flasks and subcultured before reaching confluency using a 0.25% trypsin solution in EDTA, culture medium was changed every 2 days, cells were split 1:2 during each passage.

Well-differentiated human bronchial cell line with the characteristics of the serous cells of airway submucosal glands. The submucosal glands play a major role in mucociliary clearance because they secrete electrolytes that facilitate airway hydration.

Calu-3 cells were grown using air-interfaced condition (AIC) on polyester cell culture supports. Monolayers were evaluated for transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), permeability to the paracellular marker fluorescein sodium (flu-Na), surface P-gp expression, and functionality. Mucous secretion was also identified by alcian blue staining

put them in a medium with higher serum concentration

have characteristics of both serous and mucus cells, can be cultured as a flat sheet, and respond to secretagogues that regulate the glands in vivo. They form polarized monolayers with tight junctions and express several acinar cell markers.

Let the cells grow on the top of feeder cells. Plate irradiated 3T3 cells the day before plating Calu3 cells. They grow much better .

It is based on cellular mitochondrial dehydrogenase (MDH) activity, which measured by MTT reduction and conversion to blue formazan salt that was quantified after extraction from cells.
