Four prostate cancer cell lines (VCaP, LNCaP, PC-3 and PC-3M) and two breast cancer cell lines (SKBR3 and MDAMB-231) were used in our analysis. VCaP, SKBR3, and MDAMB231 were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). VCaP cells were cultured in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagles’s Medium (DMEM, ATCC). SKBR3 cells were cultured in McCoy’s 5a Medium Modified (ATCC) and MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in Leibovitz’s L-15 medium (ATCC). LNCaP, PC-3 and PC-3M cell lines were obtained from Dr. Alison Allan’s research group at London Health Sciences, London, ON, Canada. LNCaP and PC-3M cells were cultured in RPMI-1640. PC-3 cells were maintained in F12K media (ATCC). All media were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were cultured at 37 °C and 5% CO2.

The human colorectal cancer cell lines HT-29 (grade 1) and LoVo (grade 4) as well as CCD-18Co cells representing the normal colonic epithelium were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). HT-29 cells were cultured with McCoy’s 5A (ATCC), LoVo cells with F12-K media (ATCC), CCD18-Co with Eagle’s minimum essential medium (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) with 1% sodium pyruvate and 1% nonessential amino acids (all from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). All media contained 1% l-glutamine and penicillin-streptomycin solution and 10% fetal bovine serum (Sigma-Aldrich). Cell cultures were provided in 5% CO 2 at 37 °C and 95% humidity. The medium was changed twice a week, and cells were passaged at approximately 70% confluence and trypsinized with 0.25% trypsin–EDTA solution (Sigma-Aldrich).

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.
