Characterization of Prostate Cancer Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human prostate cancer cell lines PC-3, DU145, 22Rv1, VCaP, and LNCaP were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). In literature PC-3 cells are described to be docetaxel-resistant [29 (link)]. All cell lines except LNCaP cells are androgen-independent and abiraterone/enzalutamide-resistant due to the absence of AR (PC-3 and DU145) or the presence of AR-V7 (22Rv1 and VCaP). Cells were incubated at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% (v/v) CO2. Cells were continuously kept in culture for a maximum of 3 months, and were routinely inspected microscopically for stable phenotype and regularly checked for contamination with mycoplasma. All cell lines were recently authenticated by a commercial service (Multiplexion, Heidelberg, Germany) using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-profiling method.
PC-3, DU145 and 22Rv1 cells were cultured in 10% FBS/RPMI medium (RPMI medium supplemented with GlutamaxTM-I (Invitrogen, Paisley, UK) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Invitrogen) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen)). LNCaP cells were cultured in 10% FBS/RPMI medium (RPMI medium supplemented with GlutamaxTM-I containing 10% FBS, 1% penicillin/streptomycin, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate (Invitrogen)). VCaP cells were cultured in 10% FBS/DMEM medium (DMEM medium supplemented with GlutamaxTM-I (Invitrogen) containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen)).

G401 (rhabdoid tumor, ATCC) and HUH7 (hepatocellular carcinoma, a gift from Dr. Xiao-Tong Song, Baylor College of Medicine) were used as GPC3+ targets. The identity of HUH7 was confirmed by the Characterized Cell Line Core Facility at MD Anderson Cancer Center. A549 (lung carcinoma, ATCC) cells were used as negative controls. 293T cells (ATCC) were used for packaging viral vectors. HUH7, A549, and 293T cell lines were grown in DMEM (Thermo Scientific), G401 in alpha-MEM (Thermo Scientific) media supplemented with 10%–20% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Thermo Scientific), and 2 mmol/L GlutaMAX-I (Invitrogen). The generation of eGFP.ffLuc-expressing HUH7, G401 and A549 cells has been previously described.8 (link) Human MSCs from healthy donors were obtained under a Baylor College of Medicine institutional review board (IRB)-approved protocol after informed consent was obtained in accordance to the Declaration of Helsinki. MSCs were cultured in αMEM (Lonza) supplemented with 20% FBS (Thermo Scientific) and 2 mmol/L GlutaMAX-I (Invitrogen; complete αMEM).

Confluent MSF cells were treated with 100 nM (final concentration) of dexamethasone (DEX) for 15 min to synchronize the cells. MSF cells were then washed three times with PBS (37 °C) and were incubated in HEPES-buffered Medium; 1× DMEM powder (SIGMA; Cat # D5030), 5 mg/ml 1, 2-13C2 (99%) D-glucose (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Cat # CLM-504-1), 0.35 mg/mL sodium bicarbonate, 0.01 M HEPES, 5% (v/v) HyClone III Serum, 1/100 Glutamax-I, 1× B-27 supplement (LifeTech Cat # 17504-044), 1× Non-Essential Amino acids, and 1/500 MycoZap™, pH 7.4 (adjusted with HCl) and osmolality 350 mOsm (adjusted with NaCl) at 37 °C under DD cycle. Twenty-four hours after the DEX treatment, MSF cells were harvested at every three-hour interval for two days for subsequent metabolic flux analysis.

HeLa and U2OS cells (UCSF tissue culture facility) were cultured in Advanced DMEM (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 2% FBS (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) and Glutamax-I (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY). Lyophilized roscovitine (Millipore, Billerica, MA) was resuspended in DMSO. HeLa cells were treated with 17 μM of nocodazole for 45 min to depolymerize microtubules. To inhibit CDK2 function, U2OS cells were incubated with 2 μM of roscovitine for 24 hr. Cells were transfected with siRNA using Oligofectamine (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) according to the manufacturer's instructions and analyzed 48 hr later. Sequences for the siRNA oligonucleotides used in this study are described in Supplementary file 2. To deplete CEP215 and CEP63 using previously published sequences, HeLa cells were grown in DMEM (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 10% FBS, and Glutamax-I.

The hippocampus and brainstem were isolated from E16.5 and E12.5–E14.5 embryos, respectively, and digested with papain (Worthington Biochemical Corporation). The dissociated cells were nucleofected with the γA3-Venus (or -tdTomato) or γB2-tdTomato plasmid using the P3 Primary Cell Electroporation Kit (Lonza, Germany). The cells were resuspended, plated on 1 mg/ml poly-L-lysine–coated glass coverslips, and cultured in Minimum Essential Medium (Invitrogen) containing 5% fetal bovine serum, B27 supplement (Invitrogen), and GlutaMax I (Invitrogen). After 48 h, the medium was replaced with Neurobasal serum-free medium (Invitrogen) supplemented with B27 and GlutaMax I.

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.
