Rhabdomyosarcoma and myoblast cell culture with statins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line A-204 and the mouse myoblast C2C12 cell line were obtained from ATCC, and maintained in McCoy's 5A medium (Gibco) and Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Gibco) respectively. C2C12 myoblasts were stimulated to differentiate into myotubes by switching to the medium with 2% horse serum. The human colon cancer HCT116 SCO2−/− cell line was a generous gift from Dr. Paul M. Hwang at the National Institutes of Health, and cultured in McCoy's 5A medium.
Lovastatin, fluvastatin sodium, simvastatin, rosuvastatin calcium, mevalonic acid sodium, sodium dichloroacetate, coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) and oligomycin A were purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Pitavastatin and atorvastatin were purchased from Cayman Chemical. Nutlin-3 was purchased from Selleck Chemicals. The doses of statins in cell culture were consistent with previous studies in SAMS [18 (link)].

Statin and Chloroquine Antiviral Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Atorvastatin calcium salt trihydrate (ATO), cerivastatin sodium salt hydrate (CER), fluvastatin sodium hydrate (FLU), pravastatin sodium salt hydrate (PRA), rosuvastatin calcium (ROS), simvastatin (SIM), and chloroquine (CHL) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Lovastatin sodium salt (LOV) and mevastatin sodium salt (MEV) were purchased from Calbiochem. The statins ATO, FLU, PRA, ROS, MEV, LOV, and SIM were reconstituted to 20 mM in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); PRA was reconstituted to 50 mM in DMSO; CER was reconstituted to 20 mM in distilled deionized water. All statins were stored at −20 °C and diluted to working concentrations in infection medium on the same day of use. CHL was dissolved to 100 mM in distilled deionized water, stored at 4 °C, and diluted to the required concentration on the same day of use.
Mouse anti-flavivirus group antigen monoclonal antibody clone D1-4G2-4-15 (4G2 mAb) was purchased from Merck-Millipore (MAB10216) and stored at −20 °C in aliquots prior to use. The secondary antibody, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG, was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. The cytotoxicity assay kit, EZ-CYTOX, was purchased from DoGenBio, Co., Ltd. in South Korea.

Rosuvastatin Quantification Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rosuvastatin calcium, acetonitrile (LC-MS grade), water (LC-MS grade), formic acid (LC-MS grade), and methanol (LC-MS grade) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint Louis, USA). Rosuvastatin-d3 Sodium salt (purity ≥ 95%) was supplied by Toronto Research Chemicals (Toronto, Canada). Stock solution was prepared by dissolving Rosuvastatin calcium in DMSO to achieve rosuvastatin concentration of 10 mg/mL. This solution was further diluted with water for injection to achieve dosing solution with concentration of 1 mg/mL. Isoflurane was used as IsoFlo 250 mL (Zoetis, Parsippany, USA).

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.
