Hypoxia was attained in a modular incubator chamber (MIC-101; Billups-Rothenberg, USA) using a gas mixture containing; 1% O2 / 5% CO2 / 94% N2 (BOC, UK). The chamber was flooded with the hypoxic gas mixture for 2 min and then sealed and stored in an incubator for 48 h at 37 °C in 5% CO2. The normoxic control was stored in the same incubator for the same amount of time. CLK1 was inhibited with the benzothiazole TG003 (Sigma-Aldrich) at 10–50 μM; the TG003 stock was dissolved in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Screening of compounds (L41 [10 µM], TG003 [10 µM], KH-CB19 [30 µM], and harmine [10 µM]; Sigma-Aldrich) for their effect against HIV-1 was done in HeLa B2 cells. To evaluate the compounds’ (L41 [1 mM], TG003 [50 µM], KH-CB19 [50 µM], harmine [25 µM], 1H3 [250 nM], and 2E3 [250 nM]) effect on seasonal coronavirus HCoV-229E strain, Huh7 cells were used. Compounds were prepared by dissolving in dimethyl sulfoxide, aliquoted, and stored at −20°C. For screening against HIV-1, cells were seeded on a 12-well dish in IMDM complete medium and the following day induced with Dox and treated with DMSO or compounds at the same time. Cells were harvested 24 h after treatment, and lysates were examined for HIV-1 Env gp160, Gag, and Tat p16 and p14 protein levels by Western blotting. For screening against HCov-229E, Huh7 cells were seeded on a 96-well dish in DMEM containing 10% FBS (D10), and the following day, cells were infected with the virus at an multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 2 in serum-free DMEM (D0) for an hour, after which the virus was removed and cells were treated with the above compounds in DMEM supplemented with 2% FBS (D2). Sups were harvested 24 h post-infection (hpi) to quantify viral genomic RNA release in media by RT-qPCR assay.

High-Throughput Screening of Small Molecules

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Small molecules used were: harmine (Sigma 286044, 0.6–1.5 μM); TG003 (Sigma T5575, 10 μM); 17-β-estradiol (Sigma E8875, 5–20 μM); cyclopamine (Fisher S1146, 2.5–10 μM); proINDY (5 μM; (Ogawa et al. 2010 )); SAG (Sigma SML1314, 5 μM); moclobemide (Sigma M3071,10 μM); aromatase inhibitor I (EMD Millipore 182540, 50 μM). Small molecules were resuspended as 10 mM solutions in DMSO. For treatment, solutions were diluted in 1/9 MR solution. DMSO controls were DMSO added at the same volume as the small molecule in 1/9 MR. moclobemide (a monoamine oxidase inhibitor) was used as a control for harmine since its predicted off-target is monoamine oxidase (Lieberman 1994 ). Animals were treated in 5 mL solutions in 6-well culture plates with small molecules at stage 30 at given concentrations unless otherwise indicated. Drug solutions were not refreshed. Any dead animals were removed as soon as they were found. Animals were grown between 22–24°C and always alongside their DMSO control. See key reagents above for small molecule product information. The NCI Approved Oncology Drug Set VIII was received from the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health (https://dtp.cancer.gov/organization/dscb/obtaining/available_plates.htm) and all compounds were tested at 10 μM in combination with 1.25 μM harmine.

Cell aggregates were dissociated on day 12 with Accumax (Innovative Cell Technologies) and replated onto Corning® Matrigel® Growth Factor Reduced (GFR) Basement Membrane Matrix-coated dishes in DFK 5% medium. NPCs were treated with TG003 (Sigma-Aldrich, 50 μM), SRPIN340 (50 μM) or Okadaic acid (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation, 10 nM) for 3 h, then harvested, and RNA was isolated as described above. SRPIN340 was used as previously described [24 ].

Human colon carcinoma BE cells (a gift from S. Wilkinson and C. Marshall, Institute of Cancer Research, London, UK; Petsalaki et al., 2018 (link)) and cervical carcinoma HeLa cells stably expressing LAP2b fused to RFP (a gift from D. Gerlich, Institute of Molecular Biotechnology, Vienna, Austria; Steigemann et al., 2009 (link)) were grown in DMEM (Gibco) containing 10% FBS at 37°C in 5% CO2. Cells were treated with 300 nM UCN-01 (U6508; Sigma-Aldrich), 10 µM PP2 (1407; Tocris Bioscience), or 1 µM TG003 (T5575; Sigma-Aldrich) as appropriate. Negative siRNA or siRNA duplexes designed to repress human Chk1, Src, or Aurora B were transfected into BE cells 24 h before analysis using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen). For expression of GFP proteins, plasmids were transfected into cells in the absence or presence of appropriate siRNA duplexes 24 h before analysis or further drug treatment using Turbofect (Thermo Fisher Scientific). All cell lines used exhibited consistent morphology and growth properties and were negative for mycoplasma contamination.

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.
