Compounds 18 were evaluated for their in vitro growth inhibitory activity against five human tumor cell lines, including the A549 non-small cell lung cancer (ACC107, Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen, Braunschweig, Germany), the U373 glioblastoma (ECACC 08061901, European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures, Salisbury, UK), the Hs683 oligodendroglioma (ATCC HTB-138, American Type Culture Collection, Manassas, VA, USA), the MCF7 breast cancer (ATCC HTB22) and the SKMEL28 melanoma (ATCC HTB72) cell lines, and against the B16F10 murine melanoma (ATCC CRL 6475) cell line. The inhibitory growth activity of the compounds under study was determined by means of the MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide] colorimetric assay [34 (link),35 (link)]. The cancer cells were cultured during three days in the presence of the compounds and the data were reported as mean IC50 values calculated on the sextuplicates of the experiment conducted once for each compound and for each cell line.

MCF7, breast adenocarcinoma cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum (Biomedicals, Wien, Austria), 100 U·mL−1 penicillin and 0.1 mg·mL−1 streptomycin (Sigma‐Aldrich, MERCK KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany). Cell lines representing B‐cell malignancies, SU‐DHL‐4 (diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma), WSU‐NHL (diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma) and MEC‐1 (chronic lymphocytic leukemia in prolymphocytoid transformation), were obtained from the Leibnitz Institute DSMZ‐German Collection of Microorganisms and Cell Cultures. These cells were cultured in Iscove's modified Dulbecco's medium from Sigma‐Aldrich supplemented with fetal bovine serum (MP Biomedicals, Wien, Austria). All cells were cultured in a humidified atmosphere at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The TP53 mutation status in cell lines from B‐cell malignancies was verified by yeast functional analysis (FASAY) coupled to sequencing 36.

Cell Line Maintenance and Authentication

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PANC-1 pancreatic tumor, MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast cancer, and rat-derived C6 glioblastoma cell lines were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). Upon receipt, cells were expanded for a few passages to enable the generation of new frozen stocks. Cells were resuscitated as needed and used for fewer than 6 months after resuscitation (no more than 10 passages). ATCC performs thorough cell line authentication utilizing Short Tandem Repeat (STR) profiling.
PANC-1 and C6 cells were maintained in DMEM with L-glutamine supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. MDA-MB-231 cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin and MCF-7 cells were maintained in EMEM with L-glutamine supplemented with 10% FBS and 0.01 mg·ml−1 human recombinant insulin. Cells were maintained in a controlled environment (37°C under humidified 5% CO2 in air), and the medium was replaced every 2–3 days. Prior to experiments, cells were seeded on 100 × 20 mm tissue culture plates and grown to ~70% confluency unless stated otherwise.

MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 breast tumour cells (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were cultured in phenol-red free RPMI 1640 and DMEM respectively supplemented with 10% (v/v) heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FCS), 2 mM L-glutamine, 1 mM nonessential amino acids, 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 15 mM HEPES solution, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin as previously described51 (link)52 (link). The highly metastatic MDA-MB-231-HM.LNm5 cell line was generated through a two-step process whereby a cell population initially selected by 6 cycles of transplanting spontaneous MDA-MB-231 pulmonary metastases to the mammary fat pad44 (link) (designated MDA-MB-231-HM and kindly provided by ZM Shao and ZL Ou (Breast Cancer Institute, Fudan University, Shanghai, China) were inoculated into the mammary fat pad of a female BALB/c-SCID mouse, following which the axillary lymph node metastases were isolated. All experiments involving mice had approval from the Peter MacCallum Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee and were carried out in accordance with the Australian code for the care and use of animals for scientific purposes (8th edition, 2013). MDA-MB-231-HM.LNm5 cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 supplemented as above.

Total protein extracts were prepared from FTSECs or MCF-7 breast cancer cells (ATCC) using M-PER Mammalian protein extraction reagent (ThermoScientific) according to manufacturer’s instruction. Western blots were performed according to a standard protocol17 (link) and probed with a mouse monoclonal PAX8 antibody (Cell signaling) and a horse-radish peroxidase conjugated anti-rabbit (Cell signaling) secondary antibody and developed with Clarity Western ECL substrate (BioRad). The blot was also probed with an antibody to β-actin (Santa Cruz biotechnology) as loading control. ImageLab Software (Bio-Rad) was used to quantify the band intensities on digitized images of the blots.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
U-251 glioblastoma (GBM), MCF-7 breast, and A375 melanoma cancer cell lines were supplied by American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA). Cell lines were cultured in their recommended culture medium32 containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin–streptomycin at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator. For isolation of EVs from CCM, U251, MCF7, and A375 cells were grown in T75 flasks to 90% cell confluence, followed by washing the cells twice with PBS. Culture medium with 10% EV-depleted FBS was added to cells for 24 h. CCM was centrifuged at 1, 000×g for 5 min at room temperature (RT) to discard cell debris before further processing. EV-depleted FBS was prepared by using the permeate of FBS filtered by tangential flow filtration (TFF) (MWCO: 300 kDa).

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.
