Amino Acid Starvation and Re-Feed on Tumor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To examine the direct effects of amino acid starvation and re-feed on tumor cells, amino acid-deficient and -sufficient media were prepared. Amino acid-free (AA−) medium was prepared using Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) powder (D9800-27, US Biological Life Science), d-Glucose (4.5 g/L, the same concentration as in commercially-available DMEM) and sodium bicarbonate (3.7 g/L, the same concentration as in commercially-available DMEM), and supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Amino acid-sufficient (AA+) medium was prepared by adding appropriate amino acids to AA− medium to reach the same amino acid composition and content as commercially-available DMEM. Medium containing single amino acids (Gln or Leu) was prepared from AA− medium by adding individual amino acids at the same concentration as that present in AA+ medium. Media deficient for single amino acids (Gln or Leu) or a combination (Gln and Leu) thereof were prepared by adding amino acids to AA− medium, excluding the individual amino acids (with the same amino acid composition and content as in AA+ medium). Amino acids used in this study are shown in Supplementary Table 4.

Plaque purification of CTL2M mutant hits was performed as previously described (Kędzior and Bastidas, 2019 (link)). Confluent Vero cells in 6-well plates (Corning) were infected with 10-fold serial dilutions of C.t. seed preps. At 2 hpi, cells were covered with a DMEM-agar overlay, made from a filtered solution of DMEM powder (US Biological) and 22 μM sodium bicarbonate (Sigma) supplemented with 1% MEM non-essential amino acids (Gibco), 10% FBS (Omega Scientific), 0.025 mg/mL gentamycin (Gibco), 100 μg/mL L-Trp and 0.54% SeaKem LE agarose (Lonza). Between 10 to 20 days post-infection, individual clones were cored using a sterile p1000 tip, re-infected into a fresh monolayer of Vero cells, titered and stored in SPG buffer at −80°C.
An initial IR assay tested three to five clones for all plaque purified strains (except one hit, which yielded a single purified clone). An independent follow-up IR assay tested the two most restricted clones from the first experiment. The average of these two experiments is shown in Fig. 1D.

Cell Culture and Reagents: The HaCaT line of immortalized keratinocytes was provided by Yu-Ying He (University of Chicago), and was originally developed by the laboratory of Norbert Fusenig (Schoop et al., 1999) . HaCaTs were maintained in low calcium DMEM prepared from calcium-free DMEM powder (US Biological,#09800), spiked with 40 μM CaCl2, penicillinstreptomycin, L-glutamine and 10% fetal bovine serum depleted of calcium by Chelex-100 (Sigma) treatment. For calcium-induced differentiation experiments, calcium concentration was raised to 2.8 mM for the indicated time span. ROCK-inhibitor (Y-27632, Cayman Chemical) was used at 10 μM.

DMEM powder (4.16g, US biological) and 1.85g sodium bicarbonate were dissolved in 400 ml H2O. To the solution, 1.75 g of glucose, 5 ml of 100x sodium pyruvate (final conc. = 1mM) and 50 ml of dialyzed fetal calf serum were added. 150 µl of 6N HCl was slowly added to bring the pH to 7.4. The final volume was adjusted to 500 ml. The media was filtered through 0.2 µm filter and kept at 4 °C.

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.
