NRG1 Fusion Testing and GSK2849330 Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NRG1 fusion testing (MDA-MB-175-VII, HCC-95) was performed by RT-PCR and targeted RNA sequencing (MSK-Solid Fusion Assay). RTK phosphorylation was assessed using a phospho-RTK array (profiles the activation state of 49 RTKs) (15 (link)). To generate growth curves for cells treated with GSK2849330 or control IgG, MDA-MB-175-VII (500 cells/well), HCC-95 (200 cells/well), NCI-H292 (200 cells/well) and MCF7 (300 cells/well) were plated in 96-well plates (Nunc 136102) in triplicate. Cells were treated with 10 μg/mL GSK2849330 or control IgG. Cell proliferation was measured (CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay, Promega). For shRNA infection, 250,000 cells were plated (6-well plates) and infected (24h later) with viral supernatant. Infected cells were selected with 5 μg/mL puromycin. For caspase 3/7 activation, 25,000 puromycin-selected cells were plated (white clear bottom 96-well plates) and caspase 3/7 enzymatic activity measured (APO-ONE homogenous caspase 3/7 activity assay kit, Promega). 0V-10-0050 was treated (vehicle, IgG control at 25 mg/kg, or GSK2849330 at 25 mg/kg BIW) on day 35 post-implantation at an average tumor size of approximately 163 mm3. Tumor size was measured twice weekly in two dimensions and used for calculations of both T-C and T/C values.

Caspase-3/7 Activity Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Caspase-3/7 activity in the cell lysates collected for Western blot analysis was used to determine the Apo-ONE homogenous caspase-3/7 activity assay kit (Promega Corporation) (36 (link)). In brief, 30–40 μg in 50 μL lysis buffer was incubated with caspase-3/7 substrate (R110-Z-DEVD dissolved in caspase-3/7 assay buffer) for 4 hours at 37°C with constant shaking in a light protected container. Amount of R110 released was determined using a SPECTRA max-M2 plate reader at a 485 nm excitation and 520 nm emission wavelengths. Average relative fluorescence units values from duplicate wells were plotted as a bar graph.

Cell Viability and Caspase Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For viability assays, cells were plated in clear-bottom, white 96-well plates at a density of 7,500 cells per well and incubated with compounds for 96 h. The relative number of viable cells was determined using alamarBlue viability dye and fluorescence was measured using a Molecular Devices SpectraMax M2 multimodal plate reader (Ex: 485 nm, Em: 530 nm)18 (link). Data was analyzed by non-linear regression and curves fitted using Graphpad Prism software to generate IC50 values. For caspase 3/7 activity, cells were plated at a density of 20,000 cells/well directly into inhibitors in white, clear-bottom 96-well plates, grown for 48 h and then caspase 3/7 enzymatic activity determined using Apo-One Homogenous caspase 3/7 activity assay kit (Promega) following the manufacturer’s instructions. All data is expressed relative to control values and is an average of 2–5 independent experiments where each condition was assayed in triplicate determinations.

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.
