Abstract This protocol describes the thawing, culturing, and cryopreservation of the human lung fibroblast cell line IMR90. The attached methods document is a formal version of the information included here. The attached worksheet is a fillable PDF that can be used to maintain cell passage records using this protocol. Please note: Deviation from the three-day passage cycle and cell plating density described here typically results in greater culture and experimental variability.Disclaimer: The contents of this article have been reviewed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and approved for publication and do not necessarily represent Agency policy.

Curcuma purpurascensBl., belonging to the Zingiberaceae family, is known astemu tisin Yogyakarta, Indonesia. In this study, the hydrodistilled dried ground rhizome oil was investigated for its chemical content and antiproliferative activity against selected human carcinoma cell lines (MCF7, Ca Ski, A549, HT29, and HCT116) and a normal human lung fibroblast cell line (MRC5). Results from GC-MS and GC-FID analysis of the rhizome oil oftemu tisshowed turmerone as the major component, followed by germacrone,ar-turmerone, germacrene-B, and curlone. The rhizome oil oftemu tisexhibited strong cytotoxicity against HT29 cells (IC50value of 4.9 ± 0.4 μg/mL), weak cytotoxicity against A549, Ca Ski, and HCT116 cells (with IC50values of 46.3 ± 0.7, 32.5 ± 1.1, and 35.0 ± 0.3 μg/mL, resp.), and no inhibitory effect against MCF7 cells. It exhibited mild cytotoxicity against a noncancerous human lung fibroblast cell line (MRC5), with an IC50value of 25.2 ± 2.7 μg/mL. This is the first report on the chemical composition of this rhizome’s oil and its selective antiproliferative effect on HT29. The obtained data provided a basis for further investigation of the mode of cell death.

Abstract This exposure model is meant to serve as an in vitro representation of trans-epithelial effects of airway diesel and particulate matter exposures on fibroblasts in the stroma. The epithelial cells in the airway epithelium are represented by 16HBE cells and the fibroblasts are represented by either the IMR90 cell line or primary fibroblasts.Disclaimer: The contents of this article have been reviewed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and approved for publication and do not necessarily represent Agency policy.

Abstract Trans-epithelial Electrical Resistance (TEER) can be used as a measure of cell monolayer confluence, health, and integrity. An Epithelial Voltohmmeter (EVOM) is used to take TEER measurements. This method details how to take TEER readings using an EVOM with chopstick electrode.Please note that chopstick electrodes are only designed for use with 12 mm inserts.Disclaimer: The contents of this article have been reviewed by the US Environmental Protection Agency and approved for publication and do not necessarily represent Agency policy.
