Evaluating Atorvastatin's Impact on Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human breast cancer (BC) cell lines [T47D, MCF7, BT474, SKBR3 and MDA-MB-231] were purchased from ATCC (Rockville, MD) and asynchronously grown at 37 °C and 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere. T47D cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium and the remaining cell-lines were grown in culture media as described previously [10], supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum (FBS-HyCloneTM) and with an antibiotic cocktail made of 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 mg/ml streptomycin. atorvastatin calcium salt trihydrate (Sigma Aldrich) was dissolved in DMSO prior to cell treatments. To determine sensitivity, BC cell lines were exposed to increasing concentrations of atorvastatin (1–50 μM) for 72 hrs and the effects on cell growth were assessed by using xCelligence Real Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) instrument (ACEA Bioscience, Inc).

Statin Drugs and Cholesterol Synthesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Nine statin drugs were obtained from commercial sources: Atorvastatin calcium salt trihydrate, simvastatin, pravastatin, mevastatin (PZ0001, S6196, P4498, M2537 Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA); fluvastatin, rosuvastatin, cerivastatin (F601250, R700500, C277000, Toronto Research Chemicals Inc., Toronto, ON, Canada); pitavastatin (S1759, Selleckchem, Boston, MA, USA); lovastatin (430-103-M050, Enzo life sciences, Farmingdale, NY, USA). We prepared 10 mM stock solution in DMSO for in vitro testing. For in vivo testing, pitavastatin was prepared as fresh suspension in methycellulose at 0.4 mg ml−1 (for oral gavage). fluvastatin, cerivastatin, and pitavastatin were prepared as a solution at 0.25 mg ml−1 in PBS for IP injection. GGTI-298 and FTI-277 (G5169, A1393, Sigma) were made into 10 mM stock solution in DMSO. AICAR (#S1802, Selleckchem) was made into 100 mM stock solution in PBS. Intermediate products of cholesterol synthesis were purchased from Sigma: mevalonolactone (M4667), farnesyl pyrophosphate ammonium salt (F6892), geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate ammonium salt (G6025), squalene (S3626), cholesterol solution (S5442), geranylpyrophosphate (G6772), and isopentenyl pyrophosphate triammonium salt solution (I0503).

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.
