Synergistic Anti-Cancer Effects of Dihydroberberine and Sunitinib

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Exponentially growing NCI‐H460 cells were seeded in 12‐well plates (300 cells/well) and treated with 25 μmol/l dihydroberberine, 2 μmol/l sunitinib, or 25 μmol/l dihydroberberine plus 2 μmol/l sunitinib for 48 hrs. Subsequently, the media was changed, and the cells were cultured in drug‐free media for an additional 10–15 days, until colonies were obviously visible and countable. Then, the colonies were fixed with methanol and stained with crystal violet. Images were photographed under the chemiluminescent and fluorescent imaging system (Champchemi Professional, SG2010084, Sage creation, Beijing, China) and an inverted fluorescence microscope (DM505, Nikon Co., Ltd., Otawara, Tochigi, Japan).

Cells were stained with Mitotracker and then xed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and then blocked with 10% BSA for 30 min at room temperature. After this procedure, the cells were incubated with primary antibodies (1:200) at 37°C for 4 h. Then, cells were incubated with an CoraLite488-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:50) at room temperature for 1 h. The nucleus was stained with DAPI.
Fluorescent signals were detected using an inverted uorescence microscope (DM505, Nikon Co., Ltd., Otawara, Tochigi, Japan).

Investigating Cell Migration Dynamics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After reaching 80% confluence, Bel-7402 and SMMC-7721 cell monolayers were scratched using pipette tips (10–100 μL) and treated with different stimuli (LPS: 5 μg/mL, ATP: 2 mM, 5 μg/mL LPS + 2 mM ATP) in the presence of 3% fetal bovine serum for 48 h. The migration distance of cells in each group was determined using image analysis software (NIS-Elements Viewer 4.2.0; Nikon Corporation) and calculated as the migration rate. Images of cells were captured at 0 h and 24 h after stimulation treatment using an inverted fluorescence microscope (DM505, Nikon Corp). By comparing the images taken at 0 h and 24 h and analysing the migration distances using the image analysis software, the effects of the different stimuli on cell migration can be assessed.

Cantharidin Cytotoxicity in Breast Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells were seeded and then treated with different concentrations of cantharidin for 48 h. MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells were seeded and incubated with miR-607 NC, miR-607 mimic and miR-607 inhibitor for 24 h. The medium was then replaced with drug-free medium, and the plates were cultured for an additional 10–15 days until the colonies were clearly visible and countable. Colonies were fixed with methanol and stained with crystal violet. Images were obtained using an imaging system (Champchemi Professional, SG2010084, Sage creation, Beijing, China) and an inverted fluorescence microscope (DM505, Nikon Co., Ltd., Otawara, Tochigi, Japan).

Visualizing Nitric Oxide in Kas Roots

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The accumulation of NO in Kas roots was visualized using a NO probe, DAF-FM DA (4-amino-5-methylamino-2,7-difluorofluorescein diacetate). First, after washing with 4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid (HEPES)-KOH (pH 7.4), the root apex was immersed in 200 μL DAF-FM DA (10 μM) for 30 min in dark. Excess fluorescence was removed by washing with HEPES-KOH (pH 7.4) three times, then visualized using an Eclipse 80i upright microscope with the following filters: EX 460-500, DM 505, and BA 510-560 (Nikon, Minato, Tokyo, Japan). The intensity of the fluorescence was calculated using Photoshop 7.0 (Adobe Systems Inc., San Jose, CA, USA).

Azobenzene Microscopy Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The samples were illuminated with a 100 W mercury lamp and visualized by an epifluorescence microscope (Eclipse Ti, Nikon) using an oil-coupled Plan Apo 60× N.A.1.4 objective (Nikon). UV cut-off filter blocks (TRITC: EX 540/25, DM565, BA605/55; GFP-B: EX460-500, DM505, BA510-560; Nikon) were used in the optical path of the microscope. Images were captured using a cooled-CMOS camera (NEO sCMOS, Andor) connected to a PC. Two ND filters (ND4, 25% transmittance for TRITC and ND1, 100% transmittance for GFP-B) were inserted into the illumination light path of the fluorescence microscope to reduce photobleaching of the samples. In order to isomerize the azobenzene units, the flow cell was irradiated with the light passed through a UV-1A filter block (UV-1A: EX 365-410, DM400, BA400; Nikon).

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.
