Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Frozen CRC tissues and matched pericarcinomatous tissues were obtained from 18 patients who underwent a CRC resection at Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital during 2016–2017. Before collecting and using the specimens, all patients provided informed consent and the experiment conformed to the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki. Additionally, ethical approval was obtained from the Medical Ethics Committee of Northern Jiangsu People’s Hospital. The specimens were immediately immersed in liquid nitrogen once obtained from patients. The human CRC cell lines HCT116, SW480, and HEK293 were purchased from the Shanghai Institute for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Science. The human colon epithelial cell line (FHC) was purchased from American Type Culture Collection. HCT116 and HEK293 cells were cultured in DMEM (Corning, U.S.A.) with 1% glutamine. While SW480 was cultivated in L15 (Corning, U.S.A.) and FHC in DMEM/F12 (Corning, U.S.A.). All culture media contained 10% fetal bovine serum (Ever Green, China) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Invitrogen, U.S.A.). The cells were incubated in 5% CO2 and the temperature maintained at 37°C

Stable Expression of HA-tagged Pol η

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Full-length human Pol η (NCBI NM_006502) complementary DNA was amplified from HEK293 cells by RT-PCR using Coding DNA Sequence (CDS)-specific oligos and cloned in a modified pCDNA3 vector using BamHI and XhoI restriction sites with an in-frame C-terminal HA tag. This vector was then used for generating a stable HEK293 cell line (Pol η-HA HEK293) resistant to G418 (Corning Cat# 30-234-CR) following standard procedure (21 (link)). Stable cells were selected on 400 μg/ml G418 and maintained at a drug concentration of 50 μg/ml. Ectopic expression of Pol η was confirmed by Western blotting of whole cell extract using anti-HA Ab (Cell Signaling Technology Cat# 3724S). All oligos used for cloning are listed in Table S1.

Human embryonic kidney cells (HEK 293, purchased from ATTC, #CRL-1573) and rat insulinoma cells (INS832/13 derived by Hohmeier (Hohmeier et al. 2000 (link))) were expanded in T75 flasks (Corning Inc., Corning, NY, USA). HEK 293 cells were cultured in DMEM media (Corning Mediatech, Manassas, VA, USA) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), while INS832/13 were cultured in RPMI1640 media (Gibco, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) containing 10% FBS and 11.1 mM glucose. Subsequently, cells were plated on a standard cultureware (Corning Inc., Corning, NY, USA), on 50 mm gas permeable culture dishes (Sarstedt AG & Co, Numbrecht, Germany) or on 24-well gas permeable plates (Coy Laboratory Products, Grass Lake, MI, USA); 600,000 cells/dish) according to experimental protocols described below.

Cell Viability Assay in BJ and HEK293 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human cell lines BJ and HEK293 (purchased from the American Type Culture Collection, ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) were cultured according to ATCC recommendations. BJ is a stable cell line of normal human foreskin fibroblasts; HEK293 is a human embryonic kidney cell line. Approximately 1000 BJ and 400 HEK293 exponentially growing cells were plated per well (in 30 μL) in white polystyrene, sterile flat-bottom 384-well tissue culture–treated plates (Corning, Tewksbury, MA, USA) and incubated overnight at 37 °C in a humidified 5 % CO2 incubator. Compound or fraction stock solutions (in DMSO) were pin-transferred (V&P Scientific, San Diego, CA, USA) the following day. Plates were returned to the incubator for 72 h and equilibrated at room temperature for 20 min before addition of 25 μL Cell Titer Glo (Promega) to each well. Plates were shaken on an orbital shaker for 2 min at 500 rpm. Luminescence was read on an Envision plate reader (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA) after 15 min. EC50 values were calculated with RISE by using a four-parameter logistic equation.

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.
