Experiments were performed on the MCF-10A cell line purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA, USA). Cells were cultured in 2D in DMEM/F12 (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) containing 5% horse serum (New Zealand origin, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), 20 ng/mL EGF (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 0.5 μg/mL hydrocortisone, 100 ng/mL cholera toxin, 10 μg/mL insulin, 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin (all Sigma-Aldrich). Acini from MCF-10A were cultured as previously described [30 (link)]. In brief, single cells were seeded onto a Geltrex (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) bed and cultivated for nine days in EGF-supplemented assay medium (DMEM/F12 Glutamax, 2% horse serum, 5 ng/mL EGF (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), 0.5 μg/mL hydrocortisone, 1 ng/mL cholera toxin, 10 μg/mL insulin, 100 U/mL penicillin/streptomycin), changing the medium every three days. At day nine, EGF was eliminated from the assay medium for further cultivation, changing the medium every three days [30 (link)], while acini cultivation did not exceed 21 days.

All cell lines from ICLC or ATCC were characterized by DNA (SRT) profiling. Cells were immediately expanded and frozen such that they could be revived every 3 to 4 months.
Cells were cultured in a humidified incubator in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C. Before any experiment, cells were detached by mild trypsinization, washed, plated in complete medium and allowed to recover for 24 h.
Cells were treated with DHA (Sellekchem) or BI 2536 (Selleckchem) dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture medium immediately before use. Control media contained the same amount of DMSO-vehicle (<0.1%).

The MCF10A human breast epithelial cells were the gift of Dr. Ben Ho Park, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The MCF10A cell line [14] (link) is commercially available from ATCC (Manassas, VA). MCF10A cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 5% heat-inactivated horse serum, 20 ng/ml epidermal growth factor, 0.5 µg/ml hydrocortisone, 100 ng/ml cholera toxin, and 10 µg/ml insulin. Cells were plated in 3D culture essentially as described in [13] (link). Briefly, MCF10A cells were plated onto growth factor reduced Matrigel™ in 8-well chamber slides (5000 cells per well). The day the cells were plated was designated “day 0.” The cultures were fed on days 4, 8, 12, and 16 after plating. For the mixed cell experiment, used to determine if cells can move into adjacent acini, MCF10A cells engineered to express either H2B-mCherry or H2B-GFP were combined and plated in a 1∶1 ratio. The GFP in fixed cultures was detected with a rabbit anti-GFP antibody purchased from Novus Biologicals (Littleton, CO).

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.
