Inducing EMT through TGFβ and TNFα

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To induce EMT with TGFβ and TNFα, cells were treated with 5 ng/mL of recombinant human TGF-β1 (PeproTech) and 5 ng/mL of recombinant human TNFα (PeproTech) for the indicated time period up to 10 days. During the course of these treatments the cells were split every other day. To artificially arrest cells in S-phase MCF-10A, HCC1806 and A549 cells were treated with 1 mM thymidine for 24 hours or 7 days. Cells were seeded and treated the next day; during the 7 day treatment they were split every other day. To inhibit Sp1, MCF-10A cells were plated and treated the following day with the vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or 5 µM mithramycin A (Sp1 inhibitor –Enzo Life Sciences) for 24 hours. To inhibit SRC during EMT induction, MCF-10A cells were plated and pretreated the following day with the vehicle (0.1% DMSO) or 25 nM KX2–391 (SRC inhibitor – Selleckchem) for 1 hour before adding TGFβ and TNFα for an additional 24 hours.

HONE1, HK1, CNE1, CNE2, SUNE1, C666-1, and NPC43 NPC cell lines, and immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cell lines NP69 and NP460 were cultured as previously described [4 (link),18 (link)]. Cell lines were authenticated by and obtained from the Hong Kong NPC AoE Cell Line Repository. HK11.19 is a HONE1/chromosome 11 microcell hybrid cell line (MCH) that was established by the transfer of an additional intact human chromosome 11 into HONE1 and expressed physiological levels of THY1 (in the recipient HONE1 cells, THY1 expression is downregulated by promoter hymermethylation, and human THY1 maps to chromosome 11q22.3) [4 (link),19 (link)]. Recombinant human PDGF-BB was obtained from PeproTech (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA, #100-14B-10). KX2-391 (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA, #S2700), bosutinib (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA, #S1014), and saracatinib (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA, #1006) were prepared in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM for an in vitro assay. For the in vivo assay, KX2-391 was first dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 85 mg/mL, then formulated with PEG-300 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MI, USA, #202371) and PBS before injection following the manufacturer’s instructions (the injection solution contains 4% DMSO, 30% PEG-300, and 66% PBS).

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.
