Measurement of Choline Incorporation

Cells in 6-well plates (1.0 × 106 cells/well) were incubated for 24 h then treated with JAS239 or MN58b. After 1 h, cells were spiked for 1 h with 0.5 μCi/mL [methyl-14C]-choline (PerkinElmer) and fixed with trichloroacetic acid. Aqueous cellular extracts were separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and the 14C-PC production measured by autoradiography on a Fujifilm FLA-7000 using previously described methods [4 (link), 23 (link)].

[32P]inorganic phosphate (32Pi; 9,000 Ci/mmol), [9,10-3H]palmitic acid (43 Ci/mmole), [1–14C]oleic acid (54.6 mCi/mmol), and [3H]acetic acid (100 mCi/mmol) and [methyl-14C]choline (50 mCi/mmol) were obtained from Perkin Elmer (Boston, MA). Lipid standards were purchased from Avanti Polar Lipids. Silica gel G and silica gel 60 thin-layer chromatography plates (EMD), Ham's F12 and DMEM medium (Cellgro or Gibco), fetal bovine serum (HyClone) and tissue culture dishes were obtained from ThermoFisher Scientific. All other reagents, unless otherwise specified, were purchased from Aldrich/Sigma.

ChoK Inhibition Assay for Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For each cell line (F98, 9L and 9L-EGFRviii), 5×105 cells/well were seeded in a 6-well plate and incubated for 24 h at 37°C. The exponentially growing cells were pulsed for 1 h with 0.5 μCi/mL of [methyl-14C]-choline (Perkin Elmer, Shelton, CT) per well at 37°C followed by the addition of varying concentrations of MN58b, which was synthesized in house as previously described (13 ). After 2 h treatment, the medium was removed and cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS and fixed in 16% ice-cold trichloroacetic acid (Fisher Scientific, Fair Lawn, NJ). ChoK inhibition was probed at 2 h because this time point has been found previously to be a time prior to significant loss in cell viability, thus providing a more accurate measurement of ChoK activity (13 ). Each sample was washed 3x in diethyl ether, lyophilized, and resuspended in water for thin layer chromatography (TLC) separation using a solvent system of NaCl/CH3OH/NH4OH; 50:70:0.5. The TLC plates were analyzed by autoradiography using a Fujifilm FLA-7000 (Tokyo, Japan) to detect radioactivity.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
