For TPCA-1 treatment, cells were detached using EDTA, irradiated using a 137Cs source, seeded in 25-cm2 tissue culture flasks, and incubated at 37°C 5% CO2. 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% CO2 for 1 day. Cells were detached and irradiated as indicated above, placed in 25-cm2 tissue culture flasks in growth media containing 5 nM rapamycin, and incubated at 37°C 5% CO2.
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).

Apoptosis Assessment of RPTC Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells with a confluence of up to 80% were extracted from the cell incubator, namely RPTC HNF‐1 NC cells and RPTC HNF‐1 KD cells. The cells were digested by trypsin (1004GR025, BioFroxx, Germany) and collected. The cells were evenly spread to the 24‐well plate according to the density of 8 × 104/well and then cultured for 24 hours in the cell incubator (Model: 3111; Thermo Scientific, USA) at 37℃ and 5% CO2. The next day, the cells were grouped as follows: NC or KD cells treated with or without 20 μmol/L cisplatin, NC or KD cells treated with cisplatin and TPCA‐1 (S2824; Selleck Chemicals), and NC or KD cells treated with TPCA‐1 only. Cells were rinsed with PBS for 2‐3 times and fixed at room temperature by 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 hour. After washed with PBS, cells were blocked with 3% H2O2 solution (323381; Sigma) at room temperature away from light for 10 minutes. Cells were permeabilized with Triton X‐100 (T8200; Solarbio) at concentration of 0.05% (v/v) for 2 minutes on ice and incubated with TUNEL reaction buffer (P48307791‐131; Roche) at 37℃ for 1 hour away from light. The cell nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342 (10 μg/mL) for 2 minutes at room temperature. The cells were observed under a Nikon Inverted Microscope Eclipse Ti‐E (Nikon, Japan).

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.
