Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
U2OS, a typical OSA cell line, was purchased from the cell resources center of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Beijing, China). Five patient-derived cell lines (PDCs) were separated from the clinical specimens obtained from five patients with OSA during surgery as part of normal medical care. The lentivirus particles of pri-miR-596 or Survivin with a mutation of miR-596 targeted sequences located in 3′-UTR were constructed and purchased (Vigene Corporation, Jinan City, Shandong Province, China). The wild-type sequence or sequence with mutated miR-596-binding site of Survivin’s 3ʹUTR (1921–2100) was obtained by chemical synthesis and cloned into pGL4.26 plasmids to construct luciferase reporters by Vigene Corporation. The luciferase containing wild-type sequence of Survivin’s 3ʹUTR with miR-596-binding site was named as Luc, whereas the luciferase containing sequence of Survivin’s 3ʹUTR with mutated miR-596-binding site was named as LucMut. The inhibitor of the miR-596 was purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). The antitumor agents doxorubicin (Selleck, TX, USA), cisplatin (Selleck), methotrexate (Selleck), or anlotinib (Selleck) were dissolved in DMSO and conserved in an −80°C condition.

Mitochondrial complex I inhibitor Piericidin A (Cayman, 15379) was used at the concentration of 0.1 µM. Brequinar (Cayman, 24445) was used at the concentration of 1 µm and 10 µM. Glucose-free media containing galactose was prepared by supplementing 25 mM galactose (Sigma, G5388) into glucose-free DMEM (#11966025, ThermoFisher) with 10% dialyzed FBS (#26400044, ThermoFisher). Cells were always treated with small molecules or special media 2 h prior to infection. Samples were harvested at 48 hpi.

SK-MEL-28 and 501-mel cells were a gift from Dr. Alfonso Bellacosa at Fox Chase Cancer Center (FCCC). SK-MEL-28 and 501-mel cells were authenticated by the FCCC cell culture core according to ATCC test recommendations. The SK-MEL-28VR1 cell line was identified through progressive vemurafenib selection as previously described [1 (link)]. All cell lines were reanimated less than 6 months before experimentation. Cell lines were cultured in RPMI1640/10%FBS (GenDepot) supplemented with 2mM glutamine (Life Technologies; 25030081) and were maintained at 37C in 5% CO2. Methotrexate, dabrafenib, and encorafenib were obtained from Selleckchem.

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.
