Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The explanted retinas were cultured in R16 medium with supplements for 2 days without treatment to adapt to the in vitro conditions. From P7 onwards, they were treated with different inhibitors: 0.1 μM SAHA (HY-10221; MedChemExpress, Sollentuna, Sweden), 1 μM Olaparib (HY-10162; MedChemExpress, Sollentuna, Sweden), and 20 μM Calpastatin (SCP0063; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for monotherapies and 0.1 μM SAHA and 20 μM CAST or 1 μM Olaparib and 20 μM CAST for combined therapies. There were at least five retinal explants from different animals in each group. During the culturing period, the R16 medium was changed every 2 days and the cultures were terminated at PN11 by fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) or by direct freezing in liquid nitrogen (unfixed preparations). Afterwards, the retinas were embedded in O.C.TTM compound (4583; SAKURA, Alphen aan den Rijn, the Netherlands) and stored at −20 °C. The retina blocks were sectioned sagittally with 12 µm thickness using a microtome (Thermo Fisher Scientific, CryoStar NX50 OVP, Runcorn, UK) and collected on Superfrost Plus glass slides (R. Langenbrinck, Emmendingen, Germany). The glass slides were stored at −20 °C for further experiments.

Combination Treatment Effects on Cell Survival

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Target cells were plated in a six-well culture plate at 1 × 105 cells per well. The next day, the cells were treated with olaparib, mifepristone (Sigma-Aldrich), or both for the times indicated in the figure legends. Cell survival was determined by measuring propidium iodide (PI)–stained cells by flow cytometry as described previously (66 ). The DNA content of tumor cells was detected by PI staining and flow cytometry as described previously (67 ). For apoptosis assays, cells were incubated with the drugs for the times indicated in the figure legends and evaluated with a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit (556547, BD Biosciences). All flow cytometry experiments were conducted on a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed with FlowJo software (Tree Star Inc.).
For immunofluorescence, cells or organoids were seeded onto a coverslip, treated as described in the figure legends, fixed, and stained with primary antibodies (table S6) overnight at 4°C. Samples were then incubated with a secondary antibody labeled with FITC (Invitrogen) at room temperature for 1 hour. After F-actin staining with phalloidin, samples were mounted with Vectashield mounting medium containing 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Vector Laboratories). Images were acquired with an Axio Imager A2 microscope.

Investigating Olaparib and ROS Modulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Olaparib (O9201) and KU-55933 (K5050) were purchased from LC Laboratories (Woburn, MA, USA), dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich) to 10 mM or 20 mM, respectively, and stored at -80°C. 5 μM Olaparib was used for in-vitro treatment unless otherwise indicated. Diphenyleneiodonium (DPI) and VAS-2870 were dissolved in DMSO, stored in -20°C, and used at 10 μM and 5 μM, respectively. Inhibitors were added to cells 1 hour before irradiation at desired concentrations. N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC; Sigma-Aldrich, A9165) and MitoTEMPO (Sigma-Aldrich, SML0737) were dissolved in ddH2O and stored at -20°C. These compounds were aliquoted to avoid thaw-freeze cycles, with protection from light. ROS probes CM-H2DCFDA (DCF) and MitoSOX (Life Technologies) were dissolved in DMSO before each use to achieve concentrations of 10 mM and 5 mM, respectively. X-rays were produced by a Siemens Stabilipan 2 X-ray generator, which was operated at 250 kVp and 12 mA with a 2 mm Al filter, at a dose rate of 1.6 Gy/minute. Fresh human tumor samples were maintained in RPMI medium and treated within 2 hours of retrieval from patients with 10 μM Olaparib or 10 Gy X-rays as a control, followed by incubation for 24 hours, embedding in OCT (Sigma Aldrich), and snap freezing in liquid nitrogen for later analysis.

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.
