Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All breast cancer cell lines used were sourced from ATCC, except the docetaxel resistant lines which were kind gift of Dr Sikic (Standford University). Cell lines were maintained and cultured in DMEM (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, and 1% PSN. MCF-7 cells were stimulated with 1.29 ng/ml phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (Sigma-Aldrich) and 5 ng/ml recombinant TGF-β1 (R&D Systems) for 60 hours38 (link). For inhibitor experiments, 10 µM, 1 µM and 0.1 µM erlotinib (Roche), 3 mM pargyline (Sigma-Aldrich), 500 µM phenelzine (Sigma-Aldrich), 1 µM BIM (Calbiochem), and 1 µM C27 (SYNthesis Med Chem) were used. All inhibitors were pre-incubated for 24 hours before stimulating cells. Forward transfection reactions were performed with 40 nM human siRNA (sc-60970) and mock siRNA (sc-36869) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). Vector transfections were performed with 15 µg of either vector only plasmid (pTracer-CMV/BSD, Thermo Scientific), LSD1-WT, or LSD1-Mut (Serine-111 to Alanine) using the NEONTM Transfection System kit (MPK5000; Invitrogen).

Methamphetamine-Induced Neurodegeneration in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The male and female mice began in vivo treatments at approximately 8 weeks of age. The subjects were administered saline (10 mL/kg; General Laboratory Products) or (+)-methamphetamine hydrochloride (meth, 5 mg/kg; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 14, 21, or 28 consecutive days in the home cage. To test whether monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition prevents degeneration, the irreversible MAO-A/B inhibitor phenelzine (20 mg/kg; Sigma-Aldrich) was administered as a 30-min pretreatment prior to each meth injection. Meth and phenelzine were dissolved in sterile saline, and all of the injections were intraperitoneal. The dose of meth and 28-day duration were based on our prior studies demonstrating meth-induced degeneration of SNc and LC neurons in male mice [36 (link),37 (link),42 (link)]. The dose of phenelzine (20 mg/kg) was chosen based on it being a behaviorally relevant dose in mice [106 (link)].

Antidepressant Effects in Mice Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice received 21 days of four different types of antidepressants as described previously (Sakata et al. 2013b (link)). Briefly, mice received a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection per day with saline or with one of the four different classes of antidepressant: fluoxetine (10 mg/kg, Mallinckrodt, Inc., Hazelwood, MO), phenelzine (10 mg/kg, Sigma, St. Louis, MO), duloxetine (20 mg/kg, Eli Lilly, Indianapolis, IN), and imipramine (10 mg/kg, Sigma). Animals were sacrificed 3 h after the last injection. The method of drug administration (i.p.), the dosage, and the sacrifice timing were decided based on previous studies (Dwivedi et al. 2006 (link), Khundakar & Zetterstrom 2006 (link), Molteni et al. 2009 (link), Mannari et al. 2008 (link), Tsankova et al. 2006 (link), Nibuya et al. 1995 (link)).

NMR and Mass Spectrometry Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A Bruker model AMX 500 NMR and 400 NMR spectrometers operating on a standard pulse system were used to acquire 1H and 13C NMR and 2D spectra. The instruments ran at 500 and 400 MHz for 1H while they ran at 125 and 100 MHz for 13C. CDCl3, DMSO-d6, and acetone-d6 were used as NMR solvents, and TMS was used as an internal standard. ESI-MS data were recorded on Thermo Orbitrap Fusion (Thermo Scientific). Samples were analyzed in the negative mode of ionization. Samples were directly infused at 3 uL/min. Mass was analyzed in Orbitrap (mass error on the instrument <2 ppm). ESI-MS data were obtained on a Micromass Q-Tof micromass spectrometer. FTMS-ESI was analyzed on Thermo Orbitrap Fusion (Thermo Scientific). The sample was analyzed in the negative mode of ionization. Mass was analyzed in Orbitrap (mass error on the instrument <2 ppm). TLC was performed on precoated silica gel GF254 plates and Column Chromatography was performed on silica gel (200–300 mesh) and Sorbadex-LH20 (Sorbent Technologies, Atlanta, GA, USA). The recombinant human monoamine oxidase-A and monoamine oxidase-B enzymes were obtained from BD Biosciences (Bedford, MA, USA). Kynuramine, clorgyline, phenelzine, deprenyl, and DMSO were procured from Sigma Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO, USA).

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.
