Targeting Ctdnep1-Deficient Brain Tumors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ctdnep1-deficient Tumors cells were subcutaneously injected into eight-week-old female athymic BALB/c nude mice or NSG mice. Tumors will be harvested after 6–10 weeks and quantified. 1 × 105 NPCs in a 5 μl with 2 μl matrigel were stereotactically injected into the NSG mouse cerebellum. Animals were monitored weekly and euthanized when they showed signs of brain tumor. The mouse brain tissue with tumor was embedded in paraffin and sectioned at a thickness of 5 μm for H/E and immunohistochemistry assays. Ctdnep1 cKO tumors exhibit the large cell/anaplastic morphology observed in MYC-driven Group 3 MB, which was confirmed by a neuropathologist Dr. Christina Fuller. The NSG mice with Ctdnep1-cKO NPC tumors in the cerebellum were randomized into different groups and administered Prexasertib (15 mg/kg) and/or JQ1 (50 mg/kg) or vehicle (10% DMSO in 10% HP-β-Cyclodextrin, Sigma) on alternating days via intraperitoneal injection for 14 days64 (link).

Olaparib (#S1060) and rucaparib (#S1098) were purchased from Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX. Hydroxyurea (HU; #H8627) was from Sigma-Aldrich. ADH-1 (N-cadherin inhibitor; #HY-13541) and prexasertib (CHK1 inhibitor; #HY-18174) were from MedChemExpress (Monmouth Junction, NJ). 100 mM of Olaparib, 10 mM of rucaparib, HU, ADH-1, and prexasertib were prepared as stocks in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; #S-002-M, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO). All drugs were stored in aliquots at −80 °C until use.

CRC Cell Line Culturing and Compound Characterization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human CRC cell lines HCT-116 and HT-29 were acquired from ATCC (Manassas, VA). Both cells were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Corning, Manassas, VA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Omega Scientifics, Tarzana, CA) and 1× penicillin/streptomycin (Corning, Manassas, VA). Cell lines were tested for mycoplasma contamination before each experiment. F10 compound was synthesized according to methods described previously [21] (link). 5-FU and Chk1 inhibitors PF-477736 and prexasertib were purchased from Sellechem (Houston, TX). Both the PF-477736 and prexasertib were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), whereas F10 was dissolved in sterile H2O. 5-Chloro-2′-deoxyuridine (CldU) and 5-iodo-2′-deoxyuridine (IdU) were purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO) and dissolved in growth media. The following antibodies were used in this study: Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX): FANCD2 (catalog no. sc-20022), GAPDH (catalog no. sc-32233), Chk1 (catalog no. sc-8408), and Rad51 (catalog no. 8349); Cell Signaling (Beverly, MA): pChk1-317 (catalog no. 2344) and γH2AX (catalog no. 2577).

Preparation of Drugs for In Vitro and In Vivo Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For in vitro assays, olaparib (#S1060), prexasertib (#S7178), and SRA737 (CCT245737, #S8253) were purchased from Selleck Chemicals. olaparib (100 μM) and 10 μM prexasertib and SRA737 were prepared as stocks in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; #S-002-M, Sigma-Aldrich). All drugs were stored in aliquots at −80°C until use. For in vivo studies, prexasertib mesylate hydrate (prexasertib; #1234015–57-6, InvivoChem LLC) was prepared in 20% CAPTISOL (CyDex Pharmaceuticals Inc.,), whereas olaparib (#V300, InvivoChem LLC) was formulated in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 10% DMSO and 10% (w/v) 2-hydroxy-propyl-β-cyclodextrin as described previously (18 (link), 58 (link)).

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.
