The following RAR and RXR agonists and antagonists were used: general RAR agonist TTNPB (4-[(E)-2-(5,6,7,8-Tetrahydro-5,5,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl)-1-propenyl] benzoic acid; Sigma-Aldrich) [26 (link)]; general RXR agonist methoprene acid (2E,4E-11-Methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyl-2E,4E-dodecadienoic acid; Enzo Life Sciences) [27 (link); 28 (link)]; specific RARα antagonist (ER 50891; Tocris Bioscience) [29 (link)] and specific RARß antagonist (LE 135; Tocris Bioscience) [30 (link)].
Retinoids were prepared as 10 mM (agonists) or 2.5 mM (antagonists) stock solutions in DMSO. WERI-Rb1 cells were treated for 48 h with 5 μM TTNPB or methoprene acid and with 10 μM of the RAR antagonists LE135 and ER50891, then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 1h at 4°C and stained with DAPI. Control cells were treated for 48 h with an equivalent amount of DMSO, the solvent used for the agonists and antagonists.

3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes were maintained and differentiated for 8 days (or 16 days where stated) as previously described [6] (link). C3H10T1/2 cells were similarly treated however penicillin/streptomycin was omitted from the media. DMSO was used as vehicle control (VEH) and to dissolve all experimental compounds. FEN (Cilag AG, Schaffhausen, Switzerland), RA (Sigma–Aldrich, UK) and ROSI (Cayman Chemical, MI, USA) were used at 1 μM, 4-OXO (Santa Cruz, TX, USA) at 0.5 μM and ER50891 (Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, UK) at 10 μM and added at day 0 (or day 8 where indicated). Cells were stained for neutral lipids with Oil Red O, images taken and then the stain was eluted and quantified at 520 nm.

Generating DAPT-resistant Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A list of the characteristics, origin and growth conditions of the cell lines used in the study is available in Supplementary Methods. To obtain DAPT-resistant cell lines, MB-157 cells were cultured in the presence of the γ-secretase inhibitor (1 μM) for 40 days. Surviving cells were diluted in medium and replated at low density to isolate single-cell derived colonies. These cell cultures were grown in medium containing DAPT (1 μM) for 83 days. Two growing clones were isolated to obtain an equivalent number of DAPT-resistant cell lines (MB-157RCL7A and MB-157RCL15A). MB-157 cells stably over-expressing RARβ-targeting shRNAs were obtained by lentiviral infection of constructs based on the pGreenPuro-shRNA system (SBI, System Bioscences). The sequence of the RARβ-targeting shRNAs is available in Supplementary Methods. Lentiviral infected cells were subjected to puromycin (0.5 µg/mL) selection for the isolation of the shRARβ expressing cells.
The sensitivity of cell lines to the anti-proliferative action of ATRA was evaluated with the ATRA-score index [17 (link),18 (link)]. The following chemicals were used: ATRA (Sigma-Aldrich), AM580 (Tocris), BMS961 (Tocris), UVI2003 (a kind gift of Dr. Angel De Lera, Universidade de Vigo, Spain), ER50891 (Tocris), DAPT (Sigma), PF-03084014 (Pfeizer) and VP16 (SIGMA).

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.
