HH-N25 was synthesized through an established protocol in our lab,39 (link) while paclitaxel was procured from Selleckchem (Houston, TX, USA). TOPI and TOPII, supercoiled pRYG DNA, supercoiled pHOT1 DNA, camptothecin, and etoposide were purchased from TopoGEN. All other reagents and chemicals including DMEM (Gibco-Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY, USA), Matrigel (BD Biosciences, USA), Cremophor EL (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), FBS (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA), dimethylacetamide (DMA; Sigma), estradiol cyclopentyl propionate (Estol-depot injection, Astar, Taipei City, Taiwan), and phosphoric acid (Wako, Japan) were procured from reputable manufacturers.

Topoisomerase I Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Top1 activity (TopoGEN Inc.) was measured by relaxation of supercoiled pHOT-1 DNA, following the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, 1 μl of test solution, 2 μl of 10× Top1 “reaction” buffer (TopoGEN Inc.), and 125 ng of supercoiled pHOT-1 DNA (TopoGEN Inc.) were combined in molecular biology–grade dH2O at a final assay volume of 20 μl and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. After incubation, 4 μl of 5× loading stop buffer (TopoGEN Inc.) was added and mixed by vortex. The reaction products were separated on a 1% TBE/agarose gel (no EtBr) and stained with EtBr, and the bands were imaged. Enzyme activity was quantified by measuring the intensity of the relaxed pHOT-1 bands by densitometry using ImageJ (fig. S13).

Nitric Oxide Regulation of Topoisomerase I

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Camptothecin was a gift of the Drug Synthesis and Chemistry Branch, Developmental Therapeutic Program of NCI, NIH. Human topo I, antibody to Human topo I, Supercoiled pHOT1 DNA, and SDS/KCl precipitation assay kits were obtained from Topogen (Port Orange, FL). The nitric oxide donor, propylamine propylamine nonoate (PPNO), was obtained from Cayman Chemicals (Ann Arbor, MI). A stock solution of PPNO was prepared in 0.2 N NaOH and was stored at -80°C. Pifithrin-α, cysteine, sodium nitrite, ammonium sulfamate, mercuric chloride, sulfanilamide and N-1-naphthylethylenediamine dihydrochloride were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Chemical Company (St. Louis, MO). Primary antibodies for the analysis of bcl2, Bax, p53, and p21 were from Santa Cruz Biochemicals (Dallas, TX). A nitric oxide assay kit was purchased from Thermo Scientific (Waltham, MA). Anti-s-nitroso-cys (SNO-Cys) was purchased from Alpha Diagnostic International, San Antonio, TX, USA)

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.
