“…HEK293 cells expressing human TRPM8 35 ( Prof. Belmonte Laboratory, Instituto de Neurociencias, San Juan, Alicante, Spain) were cultured in EMEM (ATCC, 30-2003), 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Gibco, 15140-122), 1% geneticin (Gibco, 10131-019), 10% FBS (Gibco, 16000-044), 2 mM L-glutamine (Gibco, A2916801) and 2.5 mg/ml glucose (Sigma, G8270). T25 flasks at 80% confluency were transfected with DMEM plus Glutamax (Gibco, 61965-026), 1% Penicillin/Streptomycin (Gibco, 15140-122), 19.6 μl of Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, L3000-015), 1 μg of androgen receptor siRNA (Thermo Fisher, Ambion, s1538; sense GCCCAUUGACUAUUACUUUtt; antisense AAAGUAAUAGUCAAUGGGCaa) or negative control scramble siRNA (Thermo Fisher, Ambion, 4390843) and 6.5 μg of pcDNA3eGFP plasmid DNA ( Addgene plasmid #13031).…”
