Cells were seeded in 6-well plates and allowed to attach for 24 h. Cells were then incubated for 24 hours with indicated concentrations of AZ31 and/or SN38. Cells were then washed with PBS and lysed with RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA). After sonication and centrifugation, a total of 30 μg of protein lysate was loaded onto a NuPage gel (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA), electrophoresed, and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane using the Pierce G2 FastBlotter (Thermo Fisher, Rockford, IL). The membrane was blocked and probed overnight with primary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technologies (Danvers, MA) at a concentration 1:1000: p-ATM (catalog# 13050), ATM (catalog# 2873), p-p53 (catalog# 9284), p53 (catalog# 2527), p-CHK2 (catalog# 2665), p-RAD50 (catalog# 14223), p-H2AX (catalog# 9718) and actin (catalog# 4970).

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.
