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.

DPBQ and other chemicals were obtained from the National Cancer Institute, diluted in stock DMSO solutions and used at the concentrations shown. Other chemicals used include doxorubicin (ThermoFisher, Waltham MA), etoposide (Topogen, Port Orange, FL), paclitaxel (ThermoFisher/Acros), BI-2536 (Selleck Chemical, Houston, TX), chloroquine, 17-AAG, and Nutlin-3a (Fisher). Antibodies used include β-actin (ab6276 WB 1:10,000; Abcam,Cambridge, MA), pericentrin (ab4448 IF 1:1000; Abcam), p53 (#9282, WB 1:2000; Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA), phospho-P15 p53 (#9284 WB 1:2000; Cell Signaling Technology), p21 (sc6246, WB 1:500; Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX)
The topoisomerase assay was performed using the Topo II Assay kit per the manufacturer instructions (TopoGEN, Port Orange, FL). Circular dichroism of 0.5 mg/ml salmon sperm DNA was performed using an AVIV Model 420 CD Spectrometer at room temperature. To analyze DNA binding, 100 μM ethidium bromide or DPBQ was added to the sample to evaluate changes in spectrum consistent with intercalation.

Topoisomerase II-Mediated DNA Relaxation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The assay was performed following the manufacturer’s protocol, using a standard relaxation reaction mix (20 μL) containing 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 10 mM MgCl, 200 mM potassium glutamate, 10 mM dithiothreitol, 50 μg/mL bovine serum albumin, 1 mM ATP, 0.3 μg pHOT1 plasmid DNA, 8 units of human topo II (Topogen, Columbus, OH, USA), and etoposide (10 mM) or various concentrations of Apl-1, at 37 °C for 30 min. The reaction was terminated by adding 2 μL of 10% SDS, followed by 2.5 μL proteinase K (50 μg/mL) to digest the bound protein. The system was incubated at 37 °C for 15 min. The DNA product was finally analyzed by electrophoresis on a vertical 2% agarose gel at 2 volts/cm in 0.5× TAE buffer, and photographed using the Eagle Eye II system (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, 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.
