Characterization of KRAS/EGFR Mutant NSCLC Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human KRAS mutant and EGFR mutant NSLCLC cell lines were obtained from the Center for Molecular Therapeutics at the MGH Cancer Center which performs routine SNP and STR authentication (21 (link)); cell lines were passaged for less than 6 months following receipt. A427-R and DV-90-R resistant cell lines were generated by exposing parental cell lines to 1 μM AZD6244/GDC-0941 for three days followed by drug washout for 3 days. Cells were treated for 5-10 cycles, followed by maintenance in the continuous presence of drug. The N1, N2 (treatment naïve) and R1, R2, R3 (AZD6244/BEZ235 resistant) lines are tumor-derived cell lines from Kras p53L/L mice. For cell culture studies, AZD6244 (Otava), GDC-0941 (Chemietek), ABT-263 (Active Biochem), ABT-199 (Active Biochem), NVP-BEZ235 (kindly provided by Novartis) were dissolved in DMSO to a final concentration of 10 mmol/l and stored at −20°C. Antibodies utilized for western blotting are listed in Supplementary Materials and Methods.

Optimized Nanoparticle Drug Delivery

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

In vitro experimental calculations indicated that approximately ~30 mg of drug, both Doxorubicin and navitoclax, are deliverable per g of GalNPs (see Appendix Table S3). GalNPs were weighted in 8 ml Wheaton glass vials (Sigma, Z256161) at 4 mg/ml in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and stirred with a magnetic stir bar for 1 h. Mice were i.v. injected as indicated, with 200 μl of a nanoparticle solution containing 4 mg/ml (equivalent to 1 mg/kg of deliverable drug). Doxorubicin (Sigma, #D1515) was dissolved in 7% saline/DMEM solution at 1 mg/kg and administered by daily i.v. (tail vein) injection as indicated. Navitoclax, also known as ABT263 (Active Biochem, #A‐100), was administered by daily oral gavage, for 13 days, at 25 mg/kg, dissolved in 15% DMSO/PEG400. Palbociclib (Pfizer Inc.) was dissolved in 50 mM sodium lactate at 12.5 mg/ml and administered by daily oral gavage at the indicated doses. Palbociclib treatment started 1 day before GalNPs or free drugs administration.

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.
