Efficacy of Combination Therapy in PDX Models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Once the PDX tumors grew to a volume of 100−300 mm3, mice were divided into groups randomly and treated with different drugs. Based on the mice's weight, TG003 (30 mg/kg) and Olaparib (50 mg/kg) were administered via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection every 2 days. Olaparib was administered 30 min prior to TG003. Cisplatin (5 mg/kg) was administered via i.p. injection twice a week. The endpoint for tumor transplantation was determined when a tumor reached 1.5 cm in any dimension. To determine the therapeutic efficacy of the drugs in the PDX models, tumor volumes were monitored using calipers every 2−3 days and calculated using the equation (L × W2)/2, where L stands for length and W for width. Four weeks after treatment, mice were euthanized, and the tumors and some organs were harvested for future analysis.
For in vivo treatment, Olaparib was suspended in 4% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; #D806648; Macklin) + 30% PEG300 (#HY‐Y0873; MedChemExpress) in H2O. TG003 was suspended in 5% DMSO + 40% PEG300 + 5% Tween80 (#T6336; Macklin) in H2O. Cisplatin was dissolved directly in H2O. Olaparib and TG003 were stored with parafilm at −20°C and cisplatin was stored at 4°C in dark storage.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The tissue culture samples were collected and prepared as described in a previous study [11 (link)]; the tissues were cut into small blocks, washed twice with F-12/DMEM (Invitrogen, USA), centrifuged (1500 rpm, 5 min), and then cultured in F-12/DMED (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco; Australia) and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (Invitrogen). Tissue explants were then placed into a CO2 incubator (37 °C, 5% CO2, approximately 0.1 g explants) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and cultured with 2 mL culture medium. IL-6 (PEPROTECH, USA) was diluted in 0.1% BSA (Sigma–Aldrich, USA) and PBS (Sigma–Aldrich); Corylifol A (MedChemExpress, USA) was diluted with 10% DMSO (Sigma–Aldrich), 40% PEG300 (MedChemExpress), 5% Tween-80 (Sigma–Aldrich) and 45% saline (Sigma–Aldrich).

Hypertonic Dedifferentiation of Adipocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To induce hypertonic shock, adipocytes were treated with a medium containing 2% polyethylene glycol 300 (PEG 300) diluted in culture medium. Specifically, adipocytes were exposed to the hypertonic dedifferentiation medium, composed of DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (all obtained from Thermo Fisher) and 2% PEG-300 (MedChemExpress, product no. HY-Y0873), and maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The medium was changed every 3 days, being careful to avoid shaking the dish to allow the hypertonic medium to diffuse slowly in the culture dish.

Mice anaesthetized with 1.25% avertin (20 ml/kg) were fixed on a stereotaxic tube, the cannula (62,204, RWD, China) was embedded 1 mm deep in the right ACC brain region, and then the mice were placed in cages alone for 2 weeks to recover. Ten minutes before EA, 300 nl of CB1R antagonist AM251 was diluted to a concentration of 2.5 mg/mL (4.50 mM) using 100 μl Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + 400 μl PEG300 + 50 μl Tween-80 (MedChemExpress, United States) injected into the ACC region at a rate of 30 nl/min through a microinjection pump (RWD, China) connecting the cannula. The control group was injected with the same amount of artificial cerebrospinal fluid by the same method. The behavioural test was performed 30 min after EA.

Topical LY3023414 Dose Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the topical dose of LY3023414 (Cat. No.: HY-12513, MedChem Express, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA), four different concentrations, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, and 5.0%, of LY3023414, dissolved in polyethylene glycol (PEG-300, Cat. No. 202371, Sigma Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), were applied topically to the anus of mice (N=3 per group) for two consecutive weeks, five days a week. 1% LY3023414 was the lowest concentration that resulted in a decrease in pAKT and pS6 expression, markers of the PI3K and mTOR activity respectively, as assessed by immunohistochemical staining (data not shown). Subsequently, all mice receiving topical LY3023414 were treated five days a week, Monday-Friday, topically at the anus with 20 μL of 1% LY3023414 in PEG-300.

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.
