General description

Earle′s balanced salts solution (EBSS) is a saline solution with physiological pH that stimulates autophagy. It augments Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-induced dendritic cells (DCs) by upregulating cluster of differentiation (CD86), human leukocyte antigen-DR isotype (HLA-DR), and interleukin (IL-6).

Application

Earle′s balanced salts has been used to incubate filter-grown monolayers of Caco-2 cells to induce starvation, along with HEPES buffer to detect NADPH oxidase activity in trypsinized cells. It has also been used to treat CEM RES cells and perform amino acid depletion experiment.

Other Notes

Phenol red has been shown to interfere with the growth of some cells at cloning densities. Use this medium when working with stem cells or when growing cells at low densities.

A defective tight junction (TJ) barrier is a key pathogenic factor for inflammatory bowel disease. Previously, we have shown that autophagy, a cell survival mechanism, enhances intestinal epithelial TJ barrier function. Autophagy-related protein-6 (ATG6/beclin 1), a key protein in the

Inhibitors of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), the rate-limiting enzyme in NAD+ biosynthesis from nicotinamide, exhibit anticancer effects in preclinical models. However, continuous exposure to NAMPT inhibitors, such as FK866, can induce acquired resistance. We developed FK866-resistant CCRF-CEM (T cell acute lymphoblastic

Transcriptomic genome-wide analyses demonstrate massive variation of alternative splicing in many physiological and pathological situations. One major challenge is now to establish the biological contribution of alternative splicing variation in physiological- or pathological-associated cellular phenotypes. Toward this end, we developed

Presynaptic CaV 2.2 (N-type) channels are fundamental for transmitter release across the nervous system. The gene encoding CaV 2.2 channels, Cacna1b, contains alternatively spliced exons that result in functionally distinct splice variants (e18a, e24a, e31a, and 37a/37b). Alternative splicing of
