The tested toothpastes and topical formulations and their composition as specified by the manufacturer are presented in Table 1. Modified Dulbecco’s phosphate-buffered saline (PBS, without CaCl2 and MgCl2), orthophosphoric acid (H3PO4 85 wt.% in H2O), hydrochloric acid (HCl 37 wt.% in H2O), and hydrofluoric acid (HF 40 wt.% in H2O) were purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). All the solutions were prepared with ultrapure water as well as washing procedures (18.2 MΩ × cm, 25 °C, Arium pro, Sartorius, Göttingen, Germany).

The mouse colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line MC38 and the human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line Caco-2 were maintained in D10 medium which was prepared by using Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (41966029, Thermo Fisher Scientific) supplemented with 10% (v/v) Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS, 10270-106, Gibco/Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 1% (v/v) Penicillin–Streptomycin (P4333, Sigma-Aldrich).
For the experiments, cells were incubated with Ce6-PVP [15 µM] in a cell culture incubator at standard conditions (37 °C, 5% CO2) for 20 min. Cells were then washed repeatedly with Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline Modified (D8537, Sigma-Aldrich) and again kept in D10 medium until read-out.
An optical photometer (Infinite 200 Pro, Tecan Group) was used to perform an emission scan (420–840 nm) with excitation at a wavelength of 405 nm. The photometer read-out was performed in PBS in a 96-well plate. For confocal microscopy, cells were grown in glass chamber slides (80826, ibidi) and kept in colorless (phenol-red free) DMEM/HamF12 medium (D6434, Sigma) with 10% FBS during the measurement to allow for a prolonged measurement time.

Murine Tumor Organoid Generation and Photosensitizer Uptake

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Murine tumor organoids were generated based on the APCmin/+ model and isolated as described previously23 (link) with minor modifications. In brief, tumors were isolated and incubated with 2 mM EDTA on ice. Tumor cells were then detached from the mesenchyme by incubation with a digestion buffer (TrypLE (1x), 2,5% FCS, Pen/Strep Amphotericin Mix 1x, Type IV Collagenase (0.025 g/50 ml), and Type II dispase (0.00625 g/50 ml) for 2 h at 37 °C. Afterwards, the sample was shaken briefly and the supernatant was passed through a 70 µm strainer and collected into a 50 ml tube. Then, centrifugation was performed at 200 g followed by an additional washing step both at 4 °C for 5 min. Tumor cells were then plated into matrigel and cultured in basal culture medium (BCM) consisting of DMEM/F12, HEPES (10 nM), GlutaMax (2 mM), and Pen/Strep Amphotericin Mix (1x). BCM was completed to complete culture medium (CCM) by adding B27 supplement (1x), Acetylcysteine (1 mM), and EGF (50 ng/ml).
For the experiments, organoids were incubated with Ce6-PVP [15 µM] in a cell culture incubator at standard conditions (37 °C, 5% CO2) for 30 min. Organoids were then washed repeatedly with Dulbecco’s Phosphate Buffered Saline Modified (D8537, Sigma-Aldrich) and kept in colorless (phenol-red free) DMEM/HamF12 medium (D6434, Sigma) with 10% FBS during the measurement to allow for a prolonged measurement time.

N-Vinylacetamide (NVA) monomers were obtained from Showa Denko Co. (Tokyo, Japan). Styrene and t-butyl methacrylate (BMA) were purchased from Wako Pure Chemical Industries Co., Ltd. (Osaka, Japan). Coumarin 6 and PNA were obtained from Tokyo Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) and Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO), respectively. All chemicals were reagent-grade commercial products and were used without further purification, except for Styrene that was purified by distillation.
HT-29 cells, which are a human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line, were purchased from Dainippon–Sumitomo Pharma Biomedical Co. Ltd. (Osaka, Japan). McCoy's 5A Medium, Modified (with sodium bicarbonate, without L-Glutamine), penicillin-streptomycin (10,000 U/mL penicillin and 10 mg/mL streptomycin), nonessential amino acids (10 mM), trypsin-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) (0.25% trypsin and 1 mM EDTA), and fetal bovine serum (FBS) were obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA). L-Glutamine (200 mM) was obtained from Wako Pure Chemical Industries Co., Ltd. Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS with CaCl2 and MaCl2, PBS (+)) and Dulbecco's Phosphate Buffered Saline, Modified (PBS without the divalent ions PBS (−)) were obtained from 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.
