Cytotoxicity of the tested compounds was measured as described previously [26 (link)]. In brief, MPNST cells were seeded in 96-well-plates at 5000 cells per well and treated with the ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitor AZD8055 (AstraZeneca, Cambridge, UK), the allosteric AKT inhibitor MK-2206 (Selleckchem, Munich, Germany), the allosteric MEK1 and MEK2 inhibitor AZD6244 (AstraZeneca, Cambridge, UK), the combination of MK-2206 and AZD8055, or the combination of all three compounds for 72 h. Cytotoxicity was measured by XTT (2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenylamino) carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide) assay (Roche, Penzberg, Germany) in quadruplicates.

Inhibiting mTOR Pathways in HTR8 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rapamycin (Tocris-Bioscience; 53123-88-9) was used to inhibit the mTORC1 pathway, and the ATP competitor AZD8055 (AstraZeneca; 2525) was used for inhibition of the mTORC1 and mTORC2 pathways. Cells were treated with 100 nM Rapamycin or 10 μM AZD8055, diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (Sigma-Aldrich: D-2650), for 24 h before infection. These concentrations proved to be nontoxic to HTR8 cells (see Fig. S4 in the supplemental material). Afterward, cells were infected at an MOI of 3 with each viral strain; supernatants were collected (24 hpi) for virus yield determination by focus-forming assay. In addition, viral protein expression was detected using the anti-NS3 mouse MAb 1ED8 and β-tubulin (GeneTex; GTX-101279) as load control. An anti-mouse antibody conjugated to HRP (Jackson Immuno-Research; 15-035-003) was used as a secondary antibody.

All cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). MCF-7 and MDA-MB-468 (ATCC catalog number: HTB-22 and HTB-132 respectively) breast cancer cell lines were maintained in a 1:1 mixture of DME: F12 medium supplemented with 4 mM glutamine, 100 units/mL each of penicillin and streptomycin, and 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) and incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2. The MDA-MB-468 inducible expression cells were maintained in the same medium with addition of 50 µg/ml hygromycin and 0.2 µg/mL Puromycin. The HEK-293 cells (ATCC catalog number: CRL-1573) were maintained in DMEM medium with glutamine, antibiotics and 10% FBS. The cell lines resulted negative for mycoplasma contamination. AZD8055 was obtained from AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals, rapamycin was purchased from EMD Bioscience. RAD001, KU006, WY354, PP242, MLN0128 were purchased from Tocris. Doxycycline was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Puromycin and hygromycin stock solution were purchased from Invitrogen. Drugs were dissolved in DMSO to yield 10 mM stock and stored at −20°C.

Evaluating mTOR Inhibitors' Impact on Breast Cancer Cell Growth

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded overnight at 40,000 cells/well (24-well plate) in their respective growth media. Cells were grown for seven days with 1 nM to 1,000 nM of the mTOR inhibitors AZD8055 or RAD001 (gifts from AstraZeneca) or appropriate vehicle control (dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)). Cell growth was evaluated by trypsin dispersion of cell monolayers and cell number was measured using a Coulter Counter. All TamR, MCF-7, MCF7-X, T47D-tamR and T47D-fasR experiments were performed at least in triplicate. In combination studies, fulvestrant was routinely used at 100 nM, a concentration shown previously to be growth inhibitory in TamR and MCF7-X models
[2 (link),3 (link)]. The growth impact of AZD8055 (0 to 100 nM) alongside oestrogen deprivation (using X cell medium as described above) or 10-7 M 4-OH tamoxifen was also evaluated in MCF-7 cells.

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.
