Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) 143B cells (osteosarcoma) show greater proliferation than hFOB cells (osteoblast control cells) in both high (25 mM) and low (5.6 mM) glucose media in three replicate experiments. (B) Mitochondrial membrane potential of 143B cells was significantly decreased when glucose media was changed from 25 mM to 5.6 mM comparing with hFOB cells in three biological replicate experiments.. (C) Mitochondrial membrane potential of the osteosarcoma cells was surprisingly greater in high glucose but lower in low glucose media. (D) Cell viability of 143B cells normalized to hFOB cells in 5.6 mM glucose or 10 mM galactose medium. Only the 143B osteosarcoma cells had significantly reduced viability in galactose media compared to both hFOB cells in galactose and 143B cells in glucose. (E) Cell viability of 6 osteosarcoma cell lines (including 5 primary tumor derived lines: HOS, MG-63, Saos-2, SJSA-1, U2 OS, and one pulmonary metastasis derived line: 15454-307) grown in 5.6 mM glucose or 10 mM galactose medium. Significant reductions of cell viability to variable degrees were seen in galactose conditions for all cell lines except HOS. Three biological replicate experiments per condition. All boxplots show the median of the data, the boxes mark the limits of the second and third quartiles and the whiskers the smallest and largest values no more than 1.5 times +/- the interquartile range. Points outside that range are considered “outlying” and are plotted individually. Differences between the groups were tested with ANOVA with a post-hoc Tukey test while controlling for biological replicates.
Article Snippet: Authenticated human osteosarcoma cell lines were obtained: 143B (ATCC Cat# CRL-8303, RRID:CVCL_2270), HOS (ATCC Cat# CRL-1543, RRID:CVCL_0312), MG-63 (ATCC Cat# CRL-1427, RRID:CVCL_0426), Saos-2 (ATCC Cat# HTB-85, RRID:CVCL_0548), SJSA-1 (ATCC Cat# CRL-2098, RRID:CVCL_1697), U-2 OS (ATCC Cat# HTB-96, RRID:CVCL_0042) and osteoblast cell lines hFOB 1.19 ((ATCC Cat# CRL-3602, RRID:CVCL_3708), hFOB) and NHOst (Lonza Cat #: CC-2538).
