For TPCA-1 treatment, cells were detached using EDTA, irradiated using a
137Cs source, seeded in 25-cm
2 tissue culture flasks, and incubated at 37°C 5% CO
2. TPCA-1 (1 or 10 μM;
S2824, Selleckchem) was added to cell cultures after irradiation.
For
rapamycin treatment, cells were passaged, placed into growth medium containing 5 nM of
rapamycin (9904S, Cell Signaling Technology), and incubated at 37°C 5% CO
2 for 1 day. Cells were detached and irradiated as indicated above, placed in 25-cm
2 tissue culture flasks in growth media containing 5 nM
rapamycin, and incubated at 37°C 5% CO
2.
On day 2 after irradiation, cells were placed in serum-free, TPCA-1/
rapamycin-free growth media containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Cell-free supernatants were harvested on day 3 after irradiation and used for migration assays or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
