RD and K562 cells were transfected with either siRNAs or LNA-modified oligonucleotides as previously described. 24 h after transfection, an equal number of transfected live cells were plated into a 12-well plate. At the same time, the indicated concentrations of either Vincristine (Selleckchem), Taxol (Paclitaxel - Selleckchem) or Nocodazole (Sigma) were added to the medium.
SK-N-BE cells were transfected with either si-SCR or si-Circ as previously described.
24 h after transfection cells were plated in 96-well plates (3x104 cells/well), and the following day treated with the indicated concentrations of either Taxol or Vincristine.
24 h after the addition of the drugs, viable RD and SK-N-BE cells were stained with crystal violet solution (0.5%) and then the absorbance was read at 600 nm, using a Glomax-Multi+ Detection System machine (Promega). Instead, dead/live K562 cells were counted with the addition of 0.4% Trypan Blue stain (ThermoFisher Scientific) at a CytoSmart cell counter (Corning). Survival was expressed as percentage of cells alive normalized to DMSO-treated cells (vehicle control), and untreated cells were used to control each condition.

Cells were seeded at a density of 105 cells/well in 96-well plates for 16 h to facilitate adhesion, before the addition of vincristine (Sigma, Oakville, ON, Canada) at various concentrations. After 48 h, the fluorometric reagent Cell Titer Blue (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) was added and fluorescence (560Ex/590Em) measured on a spectrophotometer (PE Enspire, Waltham, MA, USA) after 4 h. In some experiments involving microglia co-culture conditioning, MB cells were treated with ruxolitinib, bazedoxifene, or SC144 (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA) during the wean-off three day period, prior to replating cells in 96-well plates for combination treatment of the same agent with vincristine. All assays were conducted as three replicates per treatment condition.

To demonstrate the application of the vascularized MPS for studies of drug effects, microfluidic devices and 2D cell cultures of endothelial and tumor cells were exposed to three test compounds. FDA-approved anti-cancer drugs Fluorouracil (5-FU, S1209; concentrations tested: 1, 10, 100, 300, 1000 μM), Vincristine (S1241; concentrations tested: 1, 10, 100, 300, 1000 nM), and Sorafenib (S7397; concentrations tested: 0.1, 1, 10, 30, 100 μM), were purchased from Selleckchem (Houston, TX). All test compounds were dissolved in 100% cell culture grade dimethyl sulfate (DMSO, Fisher Scientific) to 200 mM for 5-FU and Vincristine and 20 mM for Sorafenib (i.e., 200× of the top test concentration). Final concentration of DMSO vehicle was 0.5% v/v in all conditions. Drug or vehicle treatments were introduced to the microfluidic devices through cell culture medium channels and reservoirs on day 6 post-loading. The interstitial flow was maintained by transferring cell culture medium from the outlet reservoir to the inlet reservoir daily to re-establish the interstitial pressure. Cell culture medium with drugs and/or vehicle was replaced with fresh EGM-2 on day 8 and the devices were monitored for another 2 days until day 10.

PTX, norcantharidin and cisplatin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Vincristine and Cariporide (NHE1 inhibitor) were purchased from Selleck Chemicals. MG132 (proteasome inhibitor) was purchased from MedChemExpress Chemicals. Hepatocellular carcinoma HepG2 and Human bladder cancer UMUC-3 cell lines were routinely maintained in DMEM medium (Gibco BRL, Grand Island, NY, USA).

HepG2 and UMUC-3 cells were continuously treated with 40nM and 80nM PTX respectively for 7 days. The residual cells were then partially released into medium with half of the initial concentration of PTX.

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.
