Polycarbonate filters (pore size, 8 µm; Corning, Inc.) were used for the Transwell assay. Chamber inserts pre-coated with 200 mg/ml of Matrigel at 37°C for 30 min were used for cell invasion detection, whilst chamber inserts without Matrigel were used for cell migration determination. The upper chamber was plated with 200 µl RPMI-1640 media (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) containing 0.1% FBS and 1×105 A2058 cells treated with different concentrations of PMS (0, 20, 80 and 160 µg/ml) at 37°C for 48 h. The lower chamber was plated with 600 µl RPMI-1640 media (Gibco; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) with 10% FBS. After 48 h incubation at 37°C, cells in the lower chamber were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (cat. no. P0099; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) at room temperature for 30 min and then stained with 0.5 ml 0.1% crystal violet (cat. no. C0121; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) at room temperature for 15 min. migrated or invaded cells were then counted using a light microscope (five fields per chamber; magnification ×200). Each Transwell assay was repeated in five independent experiments.

Prostate cancer cell lines, DU145 (ATCC® HTB-81™) and LNCaP (ATCC® CRL-1740™), were purchased from American Tissue Culture Collection (ATCC) (Manassas, VA, USA). Both cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 media (Thermo Scientific Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 units/mL penicillin, and 0.1mg/mL streptomycin (Lonza, Walkersville, MD). All cells were propagated in standard cell culture conditions at 37°C, 5% CO2, and 95% humidity. Fresh media was added approximately every 2 days. Upon reaching confluency, cells were detached from flasks using 0.25% trypsin with 0.53 mM EDTA solution, followed by centrifugation to remove trypsin. The cell pellet was then resuspended in fresh media. The Vi-Cell XR cell counting system (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL, USA) was used to determine the cell number in suspension. The desired cell densities needed for seeding in further experiments were obtained by diluting the cell suspension with fresh media.

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.
