Breast cancer cell lines BT-474, MCF7, Hs-578-T, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-453, and MDA-MB-468 (Cobioer, Nanjing, China) were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Sunncell, Wuhan, China) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and certain cell growth factor. BT-549, HCC1937, and T47D cell lines were cultured in Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI)-1640 medium (Sunncell, Wuhan, China) with 10% or 20% FBS.
For the following function experiments, T47D, MCF7, MDA-MB-453, HCC1937, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468 cells were treated with 100 or 500 nM GDC-0941 (PI3K selective inhibitor, MedChemExpress, New Jersey, USA) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 24 h. In addition, MDA-MB-231 and HCC1937 cells were treated with 100 nM OSU-T315 (ILK inhibitor, SolelyBio, Beijing, China), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IgG, or TNF-α antibody (ab6671, Abcam, Cambridge, UK).
In addition, MCF7 and MDA-MB-453 cells were transfected with ILK, and MDA-MB-231 and HCC1937 cells were transfected with shILK.

Cell Cytotoxicity Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All the cell lines used in this study were either purchased from Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences (A549, HepG2, MCF-7, PC-3 and LO2) or from Nanjing Cobioer Biosciences Co., Ltd. (Karpas299). Cells were incubated with 5% CO2 at 37 °C for 24 h. Subsequently the compounds and the reference were dissolved into the culture medium. Then, the cells were treated with different concentrations of test compounds and further incubated. After drug treatment, 20 μL of MTT solution at 5 mg mL−1 was added and incubated for 4 h. 100 μL of DMSO was added into each well to dissolve the purple formazan formed. The absorbance was determined at 630 nm using a plate reader. The IC50 was calculated using GraphPad Prism version 6.0 software (San Diego, USA) from the non-linear curve.

Paclitaxel-Resistant MCF-7 Cell Line

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human BC cell line MCF-7 was obtained from COBIOER (Nanjing, China) and incubated in a paclitaxel for over 6 months, and we gradually increased the paclitaxel concentration[4 (link)]. Thereafter, MCF-7/PR cell line was established. The DMEM medium (Gibco, Waltham, CA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco) containing 100 mg/mL streptomycin (Sigma-Aldrich, St-Louis, MO, USA) and 100 U/mL penicillin (Sigma-Aldrich) was used to incubate cells. Cell incubation was under a humid condition containing 5% CO2 at 37°C.

Human normal breast epithelial cell line MCF 10A (CBP60419) and breast cancer cell lines AU565 (CBP60353), MCF-7 (CBP60380), MDA-MB-157 (CBP60381) and MDA-MB-231 (CBP60382) were all purchased from Cobioer (Nanjing, China). Plasmids including si-NC, si-LINC00461, inhibitor NC, miR-144-3p inhibitor, mimic NC, miR-144-3p mimic, oe-NC, oe-KPNA2 were ordered from GenePharma (Shanghai, China), and the siRNAs were sequenced as below: si-LINC00461: 5′-CTGCAAAGAAGCATAAAATGA-3′; si-NC: 5′-TTCTCCGAACGTG TCACGT-3′.
Before transfection, cells were grown in 6-well plates (3 × 105 cells/well) until the density reached 50%. 250 μL of serum-free Opti-MEM (51985042, Gibco, Gaitherburg, MD, USA) was used to dilute the target plasmids (4 μg) and Lipofectamin 2000 reagent (10 μL; 11668-019, Invitrogen, NY, California, USA), respectively. Thereafter, the dilutions were mixed, and then dripped into cells after 20 min. All cells were maintained in 5% CO2 at 37 °C for 6 h, and cultured for additional 36–48 h with fresh mediums.

Normal MCF‐10A cells and BC cell lines (MCF‐7, MDA‐MB‐231, BT‐549, and T47D) were purchased from COBIOER. BC cell lines were cultured in the RPMI‐1640 medium (COBIOER) plus 1% penicillin–streptomycin (COBIOER) and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, COBIOER). MCF‐10A cells were grown in MEBM BulletKit. All medium was maintained at 37°Cwith 5% CO2.

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.
