Evaluating MPSSS-Induced Cytotoxicity on Lymphatic Endothelial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to evaluate MPSSS-induced cytotoxicity. The SVEC4-10 cell line was used as lymphatic endothelial cells in this study. CT-26 CAFs and SVEC4-10 cells were seeded into 96-well plates at a density of 3,000 cells/well, and incubated with MPSSS at different concentrations for 24 h. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) (MedChemExpress, USA) of different concentrations (0-10 µg/ml) were also used to treat CAFs as positive control. Then, 10 µL of the CCK-8 reagent was added to each well and incubated for 2 h. The absorption at 450 nm was measured with a microplate reader. To detect the effect of MPSSS-treated CAF supernatants on the proliferation of SVEC4-10 cells, SVEC4-10 cells were cultured in 96-well plates at a density of 3,000 cells/well, and treated with media contained 30% CAF supernatants. CAFs were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 5 × 105 cells/well. Different treatments were added after the cells adhered to the plates. After 24 h of stimulation, supernatant was collected and centrifuged. CAFs treated with 30 µg/ml MPSSS or inhibitors were used as the experimental group, and PBS was used as the negative control.

Spheroids derived from the human patient’s core-needle biopsy sample or CTCs were cultured for drug tests. Anti-cancer drugs, including epirubicin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), fulvestrant, gemcitabine, paclitaxel, palbociclib, vinorelbine, carboplatin, eribulin, and doxorubicin, were purchased from MedChemExpress, and treated at a dose of 0.1, 0.3, 1 or 3 Cmax. All drugs were dissolved in DMSO, which were further diluted in media containing 10% FBS (final [DMSO] ≤ 0.25% (v/v)). Cell viability was measured using RealTime-Glo TM Cell Viability Assay, following the manufacturer’s protocol (Promega). Relative cell viability was calculated by comparing the absolute luminescence intensity before (at time 0) and after (24, 48, and 72 h) drug treatment and was used to determine the effectiveness of the chemotherapeutic drug.

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.
