General description

Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium (DME) is a modification of Basal Medium Eagle (BME) that has been formulated with a 4-fold higher concentration of amino acids and vitamins. It includes additional supplementary components. The DME formula, first reported for culturing embryonic mouse cells, contained 1,000 mg/L of glucose. Modifying the medium with 4,500 mg/L glucose is optimal for culturing certain cell types.
The most basic formulation offered. This formulation is used by investigators who want to start with the essential components of DME, and have the flexibility to optimize the formula for their own application.

Application

Dulbecco′s Modified Eagle′s Medium has been used:
  • to culture the isolated flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) fibers to measure exogenous fatty acid (FA) utilization as part of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) measurements
  • to culture the isolated tibialis anterior (TA) muscle fibers for lactate measurements
  • to culture the human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells for osteogenic differentiation to prepare a low-glucose medium to culture human hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 cells

Quantity

Formulated to contain 8.3 grams of powder per liter of medium.

Reconstitution

Supplement with 1.0 g/L glucose, 0.584 g/L L-glutamine, 3.7 g/L sodium bicarbonate.

Cellular metabolic demands change throughout the cell cycle. Nevertheless, a characterization of how metabolic fluxes adapt to the changing demands throughout the cell cycle is lacking. Here, we developed a temporal-fluxomics approach to derive a comprehensive and quantitative view of

The propensity of cancer cells to transition between epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypic states via the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) program can regulate metastatic processes, cancer progression, and treatment resistance. Transcriptional investigations using reversible models of EMT, revealed the mesenchymal-to-epithelial reverting transition
