Paclitaxel
It is a potent anti-cancer agent that functions by inhibiting cell division through the stabilization of microtubules.
Paclitaxel has been approved for the treatment of a variety of solid tumors, including ovarian, breast, lung, and Kaposi's sarcoma.
Researchers can leverage the PubCompare.ai platform to discover optimized Paclitaxel research protocols from literature, pre-prints, and patents, and identiry the most reproducible and accuarate protocols for their studies, improving the quality and efficiency of their Paclitaxel-related research.

Cell proliferation and cytotoxicity experiments were performed using modified 16-well plates (E-plate, Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany). Microelectrodes were attached at the bottom of the wells for impedance-based detection of attachment, spreading and proliferation of the cells. Initially, 100 µL of cell-free growth medium (10% FBS) was added to the wells. After leaving the devices at room temperature for 30 min, the background impedance for each well was measured. Cells were harvested from exponential phase cultures by a standardized detachment procedure using 0.05% Trypsin-EDTA (Invitrogen NV/SA, Merelbeke, Belgium) and counted automatically with a Scepter 2.0 device (Merck Millipore SA/NV, Overijse, Belgium), Fifty µL of the cell suspension was seeded into the wells (20, 40, 80, 100, 200, 400 and 800 cells/well for proliferation, 1000 cells/well for cytotoxicity experiments). The cell concentrations of 20, 100, 200 and 400 cells/well were considered for correlation with the SRB method described below. After leaving the plates at room temperature for 30 min to allow cell attachment, in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines, they were locked in the RTCA DP device in the incubator and the impedance value of each well was automatically monitored by the xCELLigence system and expressed as a Cell Index value (CI). Water was added to the space surrounding the wells of the E-plate to avoid interference from evaporation. For proliferation assays, the cells were incubated during ten days in growth medium (10% FBS) and CI was monitored every 15 min during the first six hours, and every hour for the rest of the period. Two replicates of each cell concentration were used in each test. For cytotoxicity experiments, CI of each well was automatically monitored with the xCELLigence system every 15 min during the overnight recovery period. Twenty-four hours after cell seeding, cells were treated during a period of 72 hours with paclitaxel (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 nM) dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). PBS alone was added to control wells. Each concentration was tested in duplicate within the same experiment. CI was monitored every 15 min during the experiment. Three days after the start of treatment with paclitaxel, CI measurement was ended.
In the case of methotrexate and oligomycin, 1250 cells were plated in 20–120 µl of media per well, treated with a dilution series of drug, and imaged for 72 hours.
In the case of linsitinib, cells were treated with a dilution series of linsitinib either with or without 10µM batimastat using a D300 Digital Dispenser and imaged in an IncuCyte ZOOM live cell imager (Essen Bioscience) for an additional 72 hours.
In the case of paclitaxel, cells were treated with a dilution series of paclitaxel and 200 nM of NucView 488 caspase 3 substrate (Biotium) using a D300 Digital Dispenser (Hewlett-Packard) and imaged after drug in an IncuCyte ZOOM live cell imager (Essen Bioscience) for an additional 72 hours. For immunofluorescence experiments, cells were grown for 24 hours and then treated with a dilution series of paclitaxel using a D300 Digital Dispenser (Hewlett-Packard) and incubated for 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours. Cells were fixed for 30 min in 3% formaldehyde, permeabilized for 30 min in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with 0.3% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich), washed twice in PBS with 0.1% Tween 20 (Sigma-Aldrich; PBS-T), and blocked for 60 min with Odyssey blocking buffer. Anti-active Caspase-3 antibody (BD Biosciences) was diluted 1:1000 in Odyssey blocking buffer and incubated for 16 h at 4°C. Cells were washed three times in PBS-T for 5 min and incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody for 60 min at room. Cells were washed two times in PBS-T, once with PBS, and stained for 30 min with whole cell stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Hoechst (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and washed three times in PBS.

2F2B mouse endothelial cells (ATCC, Manassas, Va., USA) were incubated for 2 days in media, upregulated with 10 nM nicotine or 10 μM angiotensin II to express αvβ3 integrin. The cells may then be exposed to integrin-targeted versus nontargeted paclitaxel-GNB nanoparticle treatments with varying drug loads (0.5 to 5 mole %). The cells were also exposed to equivalent amounts of free drug for 30 minutes as a control. Unbound nanoparticles or unabsorbed drug was washed from wells, and cultures were grown for 6 days, and attached viable cell numbers were counted. The number of cells was significantly decreased when treated with paclitaxel-PC prodrug nanoparticles (PC-PTXL), versus equivalent amounts of free Taxol, αvβ3 integrin-targeted nanoparticles alone, or saline (
Example 2
The anti-Ror2 antibody of the present invention was conjugated to a model toxin (e.g., paclitaxel) to produce a conditionally active antibody-drug conjugate (Ror2-CAB-ADC).
Tumors were induced in mice by injection of MDA-MB-436 tumor cells to produce xenografted mice. The Ror2-CAB-ADC was then injected into the xenografted mice at a dose of 0.3 or 1 mg/kg once a week for 2 weeks. The controls used in this study included PBS buffer as vehicle and the toxin alone (paclitaxel). The study showed that the Ror2-CAB-ADC provided a significantly greater reduction in the size of the tumor, in comparison with the controls (
