Flowcytometric analysis of PD-L1 expression was performed as described previously(25 (link)). Briefly, cells at 70–80% confluency were trypsinized to obtain a single cell suspension. Approximately 500,000 cells were washed with 2% FBS and re-suspended in 100ul 2% FBS and incubated with mouse anti-human PD-L1 (CD274) antibody that was directly conjugated with PE (1:200 dilution, Clone MIH1, BD Pharmingen, San Diego CA) for 30 min at 4°C. Cells were then washed in 2% FBS and analyzed using a Gallios flow cytometer, (Beckman Coulter, Brea CA) and FlowJo software (v.10.1). Prior to collection cells were treated with either Bay 80-6946 (PI3 kinase inhibitor) or SGI-7079 (Axl inhibitor) (both from Selleck Chemical, Houston TX) for 24h where indicated. Immunoblot analysis was performed as described previously(8 ). Commercially available siRNAs specific for either Axl or p110 PI3 kinase (GE Dharmacon, Lafayette CO) were transfected via electroporation (Nucleofector II, Amaxa, Basel, Switzerland) by using program T-001 with transfection agent T (Lonza, Visp, Switzerland). Cells were collected 48–72h post-transfection and assayed as described above. Comparisons between treatment groups were performed using Student’s t-test, with p<0.05 denoting significance.

Culturing and Characterizing Human Melanoma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human melanoma cell lines have been previously described (Satyamoorthy et al., 2003 (link); Iliopoulos et al., 1989 (link)). Cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum and grown at 37°C in 5% CO2. The consistency of cellular genotypes and cell line identities were confirmed by DNA fingerprinting, using Coriell’s microsatellite kit. PX-866 was provided by Oncothyreon (Seattle, WA, USA); PLX4720 was supplied by Plexxikon/Roche (Berkeley, CA, USA). GDC-0941, BAY80-6946, AZD6482, LY294002 were purchased from Selleckchem (Houston, TX, USA). All compounds were stored at −20°C in DMSO as 10mM stocks.

In Vivo Evaluation of Targeted Therapies for Prostate Cancer

All studies performed in mice were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) at University of Chicago and performed in compliance with NIH guidelines. Prostate-specific PTEN/p53-deficient (Pb-Cre;PTEN fl/fl Trp53 fl/fl ) mice were screened for autochthonous prostate tumor development at 16 weeks of age by ultrasound. Following the development of solid tumors (5 mm long-axis diameter of solid tumor with ultrasound imaging), the mice were treated with either copanlisib (14mg/kg, iv, every alternate day, Selleckchem; BAY 80-6946), trametinib (3mg/kg, po, every alternate day, Selleckchem; GSK 1120212), LGK`974 (3mg/kg, po, every alternate day, Selleckchem; WNT`974) single agents or their combinations (as indicated in Figure legends). Tumor volumes were monitored using MRI and quantified using Amira software (RRID:SCR_007353), as previously described (24) . If solid tumor volume did not grow >20% (stable disease, SD) at indicated time point following treatment, relative to baseline, mice were considered treatment responsive. Percent Partial response (PR) was calculated based on a proportion of total mice that exhibited >30% decrease in solid tumor volume following treatment, relative to baseline. % Overall Response Rate (ORR) was calculated based on number of responder mice (SD + PR), relative to total mice enrolled in a specific treatment.

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.
