Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cisplatin and cisplatin + B 1-6-12 groups received cisplatin (Pfizer, USA) diluted in normal saline to the final concentration of 0.5 mg/mL for intraperitoneal injection. The dose of cisplatin was 2 mg/kg twice a week for 5 continuous weeks (20 mg/kg cumulative dose). This dose regimen has been shown to induce peripheral neuropathy in rats [2, (link)28] . The control group received normal saline injection with the volume and schedule equivalent to the cisplatin groups. B1, B6 and B12 (all from Sigma) (100:100:1 by weight) were dissolved in normal saline and given by gavage during the cisplatin treatment once daily for 5 weeks. This ratio of B 1-6-12 was selected based on the previous studies [3, (link)13] (link). Low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose B 1-6-12 groups received 100, 300 and 600 mg/kg/day, respectively.

All animal experiments are in accordance with the appropriate institutional guidelines for animal research, and animal experiments are approved by Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine (approval no. SYXK2016-0009). 50 mg APS powder was added to 100 ml normal saline to generate APS solution. 8- to 10-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 3 groups: control group, n = 5: mice were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline; cisplatin-treated group, n = 5: mice were intraperitoneally injected with 30 mg/kg cisplatin (Hospira, Australia, Pty Ltd); and cisplatin- and APS-treated group, n = 5: mice were intraperitoneally injected with 30 mg/kg APS (MedChem Express) once a day for 10 consecutive days and injected with cisplatin at day 7. Mice were sacrificed after drug injection 72 h via pentobarbital sodium, and their blood and kidney samples were collected for further experiments. The serum creatinine level was determined using an automatic analyzer.

Cohorts of 10 implanted mice per treatment arm were monitored for tumor growth. Once visible, tumors were measured using metric calipers (Scienceware, cat: 134160001) twice weekly. Mice were sacrificed when tumors reached 15–20 mm on the longest dimension, considered a humane endpoint by the Animal Care Committee. Once tumors reached approximately 300–750 mm3, mice were randomized into control and chemotherapy arms. For single treatment experiments, mouse cohorts were injected once intraperitoneally with 6 mg/kg of cisplatin (1mg/mL, Hospira, DIN:02126613), 9 mg/kg of paclitaxel (2mg/mL, Hospira, DIN:02296624) or 100 mg/kg of 5-fluorouracil (15mg/mL, Hospira, DIN:021827420) while the control group was injected with saline. For combined treatment experiments, the chemotherapy group was treated once with 5.4mg/kg of cisplatin (1mg/mL, Hospira, DIN:02126613) and 9 mg/kg of paclitaxel (2mg/mL, Hospira, DIN:02296624), based on mouse toxicity experiments. Mice were sacrificed 24 hours after the initial treatment (labeled as small tumors) and at the end of the experiment (large tumors). A median of two mice (1–3) per arm were sacrificed for comparisons. Tumors were harvested and saved in OCT and FFPE blocks for molecular/pathological characterization.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three experimental paired sets of two BC cell lines used: a cisplatin-sensitive control cell line T24 (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA) and a CR cell line T24R2 generated by the treatment of T24 cells with serial dilutions of cisplatin from 0.039 to 40.0 µg/mL [6 (link)10 (link)]. T24R2 cells were resistant to treatment with cisplatin (Pfizer, Seoul, Korea) at concentration up to 2 µg/mL [11 ] and proven significantly more resistant to cisplatin treatment than other cell lines in our previous studies [6 (link)9 (link)10 (link)11 12 (link)]. To measure cell chemosensitivity, exponentially growing cells were incubated with different concentrations of cisplatin (0.1-100 µg/mL) for four days, as previously described [6 (link)9 (link)10 (link)11 ]. All assays were performed in triplicate. Preliminary experiments confirmed that cisplatin at these concentrations had no direct cytotoxic effect during first 24 hours of treatment. The half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) for T24R2 and T24 cell lines were determined treated with 20 µg/mL and 1.25 µg/mL of cisplatin, respectively (not shown in data) [6 (link)10 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The animals were randomly divided into four groups, each containing 10 animals. The control group of rats (C group) received saline 1 ml/day intraperitoneally for 9 days. The cisplatin group (CIS group) received cisplatin (Pfizer PTY. Limited, Bentley, Australia) intraperitoneally in a single dose of 8 mg/kg on the fifth day of experiment. The aminoguanidine group (AG group) was used as a positive control group and received aminoguanidine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri, USA) dissolved in physiological saline solution, intraperitoneally, in a dose of 100 mg/kg/24h for 9 days. The cisplatin-aminoguanidine group (CISAG group) of rats received aminoguanidine intraperitoneally in a dose of 100 mg/kg/24h for 9 days and cisplatin intraperitoneally on the fifth day of treatment in a dose of 8 mg/kg.
Ten days after the beginning of the experiment all animals were anaesthetized using 80 mg/kg ketamine (Ketamidor 10%, Richter Pharma AG, Wels, Austria) and sacrificed. Immediately, blood samples were taken from the aorta and the kidneys were subsequently removed.

Cell lines (A2780/A2780cis) and culturing are as previously described.13 (link) Where stated, A2780cis cells were cultured in the absence of Cisplatin. Cisplatin (Hospira, Maidenhead, UK) was donated by the Aseptic Compounding Unit, St. James’s Hospital, Dublin, Ireland. Paclitaxel powder (Sigma, Wicklow, Ireland) was prepared in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO). For IC50 analysis, 5000 cells/well in a 96-well plate were treated with concentration ranges of 0.01–800 μM and 9 mg/ml sodium chloride (Cisplatin) and 0.0375–625 nM (Paclitaxel), using vehicle controls of 1 mg/ml mannitol (Cisplatin) and DMSO (Paclitaxel). After 48 h, cell viability was assessed using the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8, Sigma). IC50 values were calculated using GraphPad Prism (La Jolla, CA, USA).

Cells were seeded into 96 well plates (4000 cells/well) and incubated for 4 hours before treatment with methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA), mitomycin-C (MMC) (Sigma-Aldrich), cisplatin (Hospira) or UVB (Vilber Lourmat, Bio Spectra V5, 312 nm, cells exposed in 100 μL medium, additional 100 μL added after UVB exposure). The drugs were added on day 0, and cells were analyzed 24, 48 and 72 h after UVB treatment and 24, 72 and 96 h after MMC, MMS and cisplatin treatment. MTT (3-(4.5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2.5 diphenyl-tetrazolium bromide) was added to the cells and OD was measured at 565 nm, and the average from at least 6 wells was used to calculate cell survival.

The time of initiation of cisplatin infusion was measured in hours and defined as t0h (Fig. 1). At t0h, the dogs received 18 mg/m2 of cisplatin (Hospira, Leamington Spa, UK). Dogs were weighed on the day preceding the injection and body surface area (m2) calculated using the formula: Dosem2=k.W23100 where constant k = 10.1 and W is the weight of the dog in kilograms [19 ].
The appropriate volume of stock cisplatin solution (1 mg/mL) for each dog was diluted in 0.9% saline to produce a standard volume of 40 mL. The diluted cisplatin solution was administered through the second lumen of the jugular catheter using automatic dispensing syringe at a flow rate of 2.0 mL/min.

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.
