Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary human dermal fibroblasts derived from an HGPS donor were obtained from The Progeria Research Foundation Cell and Tissue Bank and cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (Invitrogen), supplemented with 10% v/v fetal bovine serum (FBS; Invitrogen) and 1% v/v Penicillin-Streptomycin (Invitrogen). Before reaching complete confluence, cells were expanded using 0.25% Trypsin/EDTA (Gibco), followed by inactivation of the enzyme using FBS-containing medium. Primary human dermal fibroblasts derived from healthy donors were purchased from Coriell Institute for Medical Research and maintained in the same conditions.
ABT-263 (ApexBio, final concentration: 1.25 or 5 μM) or Rapamycin (Fisher Scientific, final concentration 100 nM) were added to cell culture media of fibroblasts for 2D assays and maintained for 3 days. Samples were collected for analysis after three days of recovery following ABT-263 or Rapamycin removal.

Glioblastoma Cell Culture and Treatments

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cultures of patient-derived TS13-18 and TS13-20 cells has been described previously [30 (link)]. Briefly, both cell lines were established directly from male patients with IDH1 (Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1) wild-type primary World Health Organization (WHO) grade 4 glioblastomata. While the MGMT (O6-alkylguanine DNA alkyltransferase) gene promoter in TS13-18 was unmethylated, the same promoter in TS13-20 was methylated. Glioblastoma TS cells and their differentiated counterparts were cultured as previously described [30 (link)]. Briefly, TS cells were cultured in growth media at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator. The differentiated counterparts were cultured under the same conditions but supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS; #SH30084.03; HyClone, Logan, UT, USA). Growth media consisted of DMEM/F-12 (#10-0900cv; HyClone) supplemented with 1× B27 (#17504-044; Invitrogen, San Diego, CA, USA), 20 ng/mL basic fibroblast growth factor (#E0291; Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 20 ng/mL epidermal growth factor (#E9644; Sigma–Aldrich), and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (#15140-122; Invitrogen). Gossypol (#G8761) and TMZ (#T2577) were purchased from Sigma–Aldrich and ABT-263 (#A3007) was obtained from APExBIO (Boston, MA, USA).

Combination Therapy for PDX Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumors were established from dissociated PDX and tumor harboring mice were randomized into treatment and control cohorts of 6 animals when the tumor average size reached about 100 mm3. ABT-263 (ApexBio, A3007) was dissolved in a mixture of 10% EtOH, 30% PEG-400 (Lipoid) and 60% phosal 50 PG (Sigma Aldrich) and was given orally (100 mg/kg) alone or 1.5 h after standard chemotherapy in combination experiments. Compound solution was prepared fresh before drug administration and any remaining solution was routinely stored at +4°C for no longer than 1 wk. Vincristine (Teva) was injected intravenously (i.v.) (0.5 mg/kg). Tumor size was measured 3 times a wk using a caliper and mouse weight was measured twice a wk. No mice needed to be euthanized due to severe body weight loss (>20% than baseline). All animal experiments were performed under license of the authorities of the Kt. Zürich (206/15).

SW48 colon cancer cells (ATCC – CCL-231) were maintained in RPMI-1640 (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (#TMS-013-B, Millipore) and 1% penicillin-streptomycin (#15070, Gibco). Cells were grown at 37°C in 5% CO2 and passaged at 70% confluency. For all experiments, a treatment of 250-nM ABT-263 (ApexBio cat# A3007), 10-nM TAK-228 (LC Laboratories cat.# I-3344), or the combination was used. These doses are based on physiologically relevant blood serum levels of ABT-26337 (link),38 (link) and on a WST-1 dose response curve for TAK-228, where 10 nM was shown to decrease proliferation of cells by >50% compared to control.39 (link) Cells were exposed to treatment for 24 h.

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.
