Afatinib Attenuates OGD-Induced Astrocyte Activation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Afatinib was purchased from LC laboratories, MA, U.S.A. Afatinib (10 mM) was prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide as stock solution. The effect of Afatinib was investigated by treating Afatinib concomitantly with OGD exposure. Ten nM Afatinib was chosen according to the concentration of Afatinib which significantly attenuated OGD-induced activation of EGFR and subsequent singalling pathways in treated astrocytes.

Composition and Characterization of HAD-B1 Herbal Extract

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Afatinib was purchased from LC laboratories (Woburn, MA, USA). HAD-B1 is a
blended herbal extract composed of Panax notoginseng Radix,
Cordyceps militaris, Panax ginseng C. A.
Mey, and Boswellia carteri Birdwood (Table 1). It was manufactured by
Daehan Biopharm (Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea) and provided by the EWCC (Daejeon
Korean Medicine Hospital, Daejeon University, Korea) in August 2019. In this
study, HAD-B1 suspended in dimethyl sulfoxide was centrifuged, and only the
supernatant was used.
A previous study identified 6 critical components of HAD-B1 by using high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).24 (link) Each HAD-B1 tablet
contained 0.320 mg of cordycepin, 1.110 mg of notoginsenoside R1, 0.610 mg of
ginsenoside Rg1, 1.270 mg of ginsenoside Rb1, 0.031 mg of α-boswellic acid, and
0.058 mg of β-boswellic acid.

Cell Lines and Inhibitor Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell lines, inhibitors and growth factors. The cell lines used in the present study included ALK translocated NSCLC lines H3122 and H2228, and their counterparts modified to overexpress GFP or HER2 (H3122) or to knock down GFP or HER2 (H2228). The original cell lines were a kind gift from Dr Pasi Jänne (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, MA, USA). The cell lines were grown in RPMI-1640 medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA and Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 100 IU/ml penicillin and streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Cells were incubated at 37˚C with 5% CO 2 in the atmosphere. Following inhibitors were used: TAE684 (a gift from Dr Nathanael Gray, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute), crizotinib, afatinib (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA, USA) and labatinib (Alexis Biochemicals, Lausen, Switzerland). Neuregulin-1 (NRG1) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) were also used (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Inhibitors were diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and stored at -20˚C while growth factors were diluted in sterile, distilled water and stored at -80˚C.

H1975 cells harboring EGFR L858R and T790M mutation were purchased from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Manassas, VA, USA). PC9 cells (EGFR exon 19del) were obtained from Dr. Joan Massague (Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New York, NY) and H3255 cells (EGFR L858R) were obtained from NCI (National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD). PC9, H3255, H1975, and AR (afatinib resistant) cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 growth medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in a 37°C humidified 5% CO2 incubator. afatinib and linsitinib was purchased from LC laboratories (Massachusetts, USA).

Evaluating ERBB2-Mutant Cell Response to TKIs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NCI-H1781 (H1781) cells, harboring ERBB2-G776>VC, were purchased from ATCC (Manassas, VA). Cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 medium (Mediatech, Manassas, VA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and grown at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. These cells were overlaid in 96-well plates, allowed to attach overnight and then treated with or without two TKIs (Erlotinib and afatinib) for 72 hours. Cell viability was determined by CellTiter 96 Aqueous One solution proliferation kit (Promega, Madison, WI) according to the manufacture's protocol. Experiments were performed in triplicate. Inhibitory proliferation curves and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) were generated using the GraphPad Prism 6 software (GraphPad Software, La Jolla, CA). We used IC50 values obtained in identical conditions and previously published [11 ] for NCI-H3255 (H3255, EGFR-L858R) and NCI-H1975 (H1975, EGFR-L858R+T790M) to contrast H1781 to an EGFR/ERBB2 TKI-sensitive and TKI-resistant cell line, respectively. Erlotinib and afatinib were purchased from LC Laboratories (Woburn, MA). All reagents were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and stored at −80°C.

All cells were maintained in RPMI 1640 growth medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermo Fisher Scientific), penicillin, and streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in humidified 5% CO2 at 37°C. EGFR TKIs gefitinib (Ryss Lab, Inc., Union City, CA, USA), afatinib (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA, USA), Src TKI dasatinib (LC Laboratories), and integrin inhibitor cilengitide (ci) (AdooQ Bioscience, Irvine, CA, USA) were obtained from commercial sources. The integrin inhibitor c8 was kindly provided by Dr William F DeGrado.9 Stock solutions (10 mM) of all chemicals were prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). Both cell lines used in the current study can be obtained commercially and they were classified as the most low risk by the institutional review board of National Health Research Institute. The ethics approval was not required for the use of these cell lines.

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.
