Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For doxorubicin-induced senescence, FRCs were treated with 250 nM of doxorubicin (Cayman Chemical) for 24 h, followed by 83.3 nM of doxorubicin for another 48 h. Cells were assayed 7 days later. EdU staining: Cultured cells were pulsed with 10 mM EdU for 6.5 h in CO2 incubator, followed by fixation in 4% PFA for 10 min and permed in PBS + 0.5% Triton X-100 for 15 min at RT. EdU staining was performed in 0.1 M Tris-HCl (ph 7.5), 1 mM CuSO4, 0.1 M ascorbic acid and 1 µM AlexaFluor488 azide (Life Technologies) for 30 min at RT. Stained cells were washed twice with PBS + 0.5%Triton X-100 and incubated with DAPI for 5 min before immunofluorescence microscopy analysis. Positive staining was quantified in ImageJ. For RT-qPCR, cells were collected at day 14 post-induction. Total RNA and cDNA were prepared using the RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN) and High Capacity cDNA RT kit (Applied Biosystems), according to manufacturers’ protocol and Taqman assays performed. Taqman assays used in these studies are listed in Supplementary Table S3.

Determining IC50 of Anti-Cancer Drugs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) is defined as the concentration of a drug necessary to inhibit the biological activity of the target or pathway by 50%. We determined the IC50 of doxorubicin and sorafenib (both from Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MA, USA) in MIHA, Hep3B, and Huh7 cells by treating cells with the indicated concentrations of doxorubicin or sorafenib (Figure 1). The IC50 of trametinib and cisplatin (both from Cayman Chemical Company) in Huh7 cells was also determined to examine their combinatorial effects with PAM. Further, 5 × 104 cells seeded in 35 mm dishes were incubated for 18 h before treatment with anti-cancer drugs. Cell viability was measured 72 h after drug treatment using an MTT assay.

Mx1-cre mice were injected intraperitoneally with 5 mg/kg polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (pIpC, Invivogen) every 48 hours for 7 doses to induce Cre-recombinase activity. UBC-Cre mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1 mg tamoxifen (10 mg/mL in sterile corn oil) daily for 5 days to induce cre-recombinase activity. AC220 (Quizartinib, AdooQ) was administered by gavage at 5-10 mg/kg/day for 21-28 days. Cytarabine (Cayman Chemical) and Doxorubicin (Cayman Chemical) were injected intraperitoneally with Cytarabine, 50 mg/kg/day for 7 days and Doxorubicin, 1.5 mg/kg/day for 3 days (details of drug preparation provided in Supplemental Methods).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The seeded non-senescent MeT-5A cells were made senescent by incubation with 100 nM of doxorubicin (Cayman chemicals; 15,007) for 48 h. The media along with the remaining doxorubicin was removed and the senescent monolayer was washed with 1 × PBS. Senescent monolayers were incubated with doxorubicin-depleted media for another 24 h and the conditioned media (CM) was collected. Non-senescent MeT-5A monolayers were also incubated with media for 24 h and the CM was collected. A 1:1 mixture of CM from senescent/non-senescent MeT-5A and Medium 199 media (HiMedia; AL014A) along with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco; 10,270) were used for conditioned media growth assay with SKOV-3 cancer cells.

CP-A WT cells were grown to 60–70% confluency in 10 cm plates. Next, 5 μg of PX458 plasmid containing TP53-targeting sgRNAs were diluted into 200 µl Opti-MEM I reduced serum medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 31985062). Then 15 µl FuGENE HD transfection reagent (for a 3:1 transfection reagent:DNA ratio) (Promega, E2312) was added to the DNA and incubated at room temperature for 15 min. The mixture was then added to a plate drop-by-drop and mixed by shaking. Cells were incubated for 48 h at 37 °C in a humidified incubator. Transfected cells, expressing GFP, were single-cell sorted on a BD FACSAria Fusion instrument (BD Biosciences). Clones were allowed to expand, then individually tested by immunoblotting for TP53 protein levels following 24 h of treatment with 3 µM doxorubicin (Cayman Chemical, 15007).

MEF cells were cultured in 96- well plates (2,500 cells per well) overnight and then treated with different apoptotic stimuli at indicated drug concentrations for 24 h. Cells were then incubated with 10% Alamar Blue reagent (Invitrogen, DAL1100) for 4 h and the fluorescence of Alamar Blue reduction was determined using BioTek HT Synergy plate reader (540 nm excitation, 594 nm emission). Relative viability of treated cells was calculated by normalizing to vehicle treated cells. For bar graphs, relative cell viability was presented as normalized with respect to WT at that dose of a drug. Cisplatin (# 4394), Thapsigargin (# T9033), Etoposide (#, E1383) and Gemcitabine (#, G6423) were purchased from Sigma. Hydrogen peroxide was purchased from Fisher scientific (# H325-100). Doxorubicin (#, 15007) was purchased from Cayman chemical company. Bortezomib was purchased from ChemieTek (#, CT-BZ001). All treatments were done in triplicate and each graph shown is a representative experiment of at least three biological replicates. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s test. p < 0.05 was considered significant.

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.
