    ATCC human liver epithelial cell line thle 2
    Cell viability assays were conducted using the WST-1 method to evaluate the effects of valproic acid (VPA) and bempedoic acid (BA), alone or in combination, on the viability of <t>THLE-2,</t> Hep3B, and Huh7 cells. (A) The outlines of the WST-1 assay protocol were followed in the study. The effects of (B) valproic acid (0,1, and 2mM), (C) bempedoic acid (0,10, and 25μM), and (D) their combinations on THLE-2 cells, respectively. Similarly, (E–G) show the effects on Hep3B cells and (H–J) present corresponding data for Huh7 cells. Cell viability was measured at 72 and 96 hours post-treatment, as shown at the top of each plot. Red-highlighted values indicate fold change inhibitory effects compared to the control, where values less than one indicate inhibition and values greater than one represent stimulation. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001, ns-non-significant. Analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA. Data are shown as mean ± SD.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: Validation of Cas9 activity in ACTB and GAPDH knock-in (KI) chicken DF-1 cells. (A) Gene structure of the intergenic region between DMRT1 and DMRT3 is depicted, showing exons as boxes and introns as lines, with the gRNA target site indicated. (B) T7E1 assay for KI DF-1 cells ( ACTB 3′ KI, ACTB tagging, GAPDH 3′ KI, and GAPDH tagging) followed by transfection with gRNA expressing vector. (C) Sanger sequencing analysis of KI chicken DF-1 cells ( GAPDH 3′ KI, and GAPDH tagging) transfected with DMRT gRNA are shown. gRNA sequences are shown in red, PAM sequences in yellow. The strikethrough lines indicate regions where base pairs have been deleted.

    Article Snippet: Chicken DF-1 fibroblast cells (ATCC® CRL-12203, American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA) were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM; Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; HyClone, Cytiva, Marlborough, MA, USA) and 1 × antibiotic-antimycotic solution (Gibco).

    Generation and validation of single-cell clones with Cas9-GFP knock-in at the GAPDH locus in chicken DF-1 cells. (A) Bright-field (BF) and GFP fluorescence images obtained after subculture following single-cell seeding. Each panel represents a clonal population derived from a single genome-edited cell. A total of 16 single-cell-derived clones were identified from the 96-well plates, of which 12 maintained consistent growth after subculture. Clone numbers correspond to the original 16 identified clones, and images of the 12 viable clones are shown. Scale bar, 100 µm. (B) PCR analysis of 12 single-cell-derived clones following subculture. Intron-targeted knock-in alleles were confirmed by 5′ junction PCR using junction-specific primers. The presence of residual wild-type (WT) alleles in individual clones was assessed using WT allele–specific primers. GAPDH PCR served as a genomic DNA quality control. (C) Relative Cas9 copy number was estimated by quantitative PCR (qPCR) using genomic DNA from each clone, normalized to the endogenous GAPDH reference locus (two copies in diploid cells). Bars represent the mean ± SD of technical qPCR replicates ( n = 3).
