For control experiments two different breast cancer cell lines, MCF7 and SKBR3 (both obtained from the ATCC; American Type Culture Collection, USA), were used. The MCF7 mammary adenocarcinoma cells were cultured in (v/v) 1:1 Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM)/Ham's F12 medium (GIBCO-BRL Co, MD, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (GIBCO-BRL), 2mM L-glutamine (GIBCO-BRL) 30mM NaHCOB3B, 16 ng/ml insulin and 50 mg/ml penicilline/streptomycin (GIBCO-BRL). SKBR3 cells were used as positive control for HER2 and EGFR expression. SKBR3 cells were cultured in McCoy's (GIBCO-BRL) enriched with 10% fetal bovine serum and 2mM L-glutamine supplemented with 50 mg/ml penicilline/streptomycin. Cells were maintained in a humidified atmosphere of 5% COB2B-95% air.
Sub-cultivation for all cell lines was performed with 0.25% trypsin and 5mM EDTA. All experiments were performed during the logarithmic growth phase. 15-20 h before each experiment and cells were transferred to serum-starved medium containing only L-glutamine, NaHCOB3B and antibiotics.

SH-SY5Y cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium containing growth factor F12 (DMEM/F12) (Gibco, NY, USA) supplemented with 10% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS, Gibco), 1% penicillinestreptomycin (Gibco) and 1.2 g/L NaHCO3 at 37 ℃. One day before experiment, a total of 3✕104 cells were seeded in a 24-well plate in 500 µL medium (DMEM with 10% FBS). For the experiment, a pPrestin-MBs (concentration: 2✕108 MBs/mL; pPrestin: 7500 ng) solution was added to the medium. The cell dish was flipped upside down and was sonicated by 1-MHz focused US (cycle number: 50-10000, pulse repetition frequency: 0.5-5 Hz, duration: 1 min, acoustic pressure: 0.1-0.7 MPa) to facilitate the pPrestin transfection (Fig. 2C). Four hours after 1-MHz focused US exposure, cells were washed with DPBS (Dulbecco's Phosphate-Buffered Saline, Biological Industries, CT, USA) and cultured in fresh medium. The gene transfection rate was assessed by counting the number of green fluorescence (Venus) positive cells at 48 h after gene transfection by flow cytometry (FACScalibur, BD Biosciences, CA, USA). Cell viability was determined using the Alamar Blue indicator (AbDSerotec, Oxford, UK).

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.
