α-Amanitin was purchased from Sigma (A2263-1 mg) and dissolved in 1 ml ddH2O. For injection, a 1:20 solution was freshly prepared in ddH2O, and 2 nl (0.2 ng) was injected into embryos at one-cell stage. Triptolide (PG490- 1 mg, Selleckchem) was diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to obtain a 2.5 mM stock. For drug treatment, the stock was further diluted to 10 mM in embryo medium. Manually dechorionated embryos were reared in the Triptolide solution from the 128-cell stage until 4.3 hpf. PFI-3 (catalog no. S7315-5 mg, Selleckchem) was dissolved in DMSO to a 5 mM stock solution. For drug treatment, dilutions of PFI-3 stock in ddH2O (1–100 mM) were freshly prepared, thoroughly vortexed, and 1–2 nl was injected into one-cell stage embryos.

Triptolide and C646 were purchased from Selleck chemicals. HSF1 expression plasmid (HSF1-GFPN3) was obtained from Addgene. Mec-1 cells were purchased from DSMZ. Mec-2 and WAC3-CD5+ cells were obtained from Dr. H. Shi (GRU Cancer Center, GA). All cells were cultured as described previously and authenticated by surface staining and flow cytometry for CD19, CD20 and CD79a [53 (link)]. Stable knockdown of HSF1 was carried out in Mec-1 and WaC3-CD5+ cells using lentiviral non-targeted or two independent HSF1 shRNA constructs (Sigma Aldrich, MO). De-identified and de-linked primary CLL samples were obtained from the Biorepository Core Facility of Kansas University Medical Center, after informed consent using an institutional review board-approved protocol (HSC-5929). CD19+ B cells from newly diagnosed, relapsed or treatment refractory CLL patients were isolated from the samples utilizing a magnetic CD19-positive selection kit (Stem Cell Technologies, Vancouver, BC), as described previously [54 (link)]. The purity of the isolated CD19+ B-cell fraction was assessed using CD19-PE conjugated antibodies (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and flow cytometry. Positively selected cells were re-suspended in 20% FBS containing RPMI prior to performing the studies described.

Notch Inhibitor Screening in Cells and Zebrafish

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Natural compounds (#L1400) and FDA-approved chemicals (#L1300), including triptolide and DAPT for the Notch inhibitor screening test, were purchased from Selleckchem, (Houston, TX, USA). DMSO was purchased from Corning (USA, Manassas, VA, USA). Pyridone 6 (P6) was purchased from R&D Systems (a Bio-Techne Brand, Minneapolis, MN, USA). In cell-based experiments, P6, DAPT, P6 + DAPT, TP, or DMSO were treated for a selective concentration of 50 nM, 100 nM, 200 nM, 500 nM. The concentrations of each signal inhibitor and TP were determined through referencing their use in various cells [39 (link),40 (link),41 (link)] and zebrafish [74 (link),75 (link)]. The concentration ranges typically used in cell-based experiments to test anticancer agents was applied [76 (link)]. They were incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2, for 24 h. To reduce error, chemicals were diluted with Opti-MEM (Welgene, Republic of Korea) before suspension. In zebrafish experiments, 24 hpf embryos were placed in 90ϕ Petri dishes filled with 10 mL of E3 buffer (with 0.001 M methylene blue). Embryos were treated with DMSO for the negative control or a 500 nM concentration of P6, DAPT, P6 + DAPT, or triptolide. They were incubated for 72 h in an incubator at 28.5 °C.

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.
