Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were injected with the BSVTK MDA-MB-231 population (as described above), and the primary tumors were resected when they reached 100 mm3 before the treatment. For the etanercept experiment (two independent experiments), the control group received saline as vehicle; the treated group received etanercept (Enbrel) (10 mg/kg), three times weekly until the end of the experiment. For the birinapant experiment (one experiment), the treated group received birinapant (#S7015, Selleck Chemicals) at the dose of 30 mg/kg, three times weekly until the end of the experiment. The mice were euthanized when the control groups died from metastatic disease. Metastases were analyzed by imaging and flow cytometry, as described below.

1 × 104 U937 CUX1−/− or wild-type cells were dispensed into 96 well plates in triplicate. Cytarabine (Apexbio) was dissolved in water. Drug or vehicle were added to cells to achieve the desired concentrations as indicated. Cells were incubated for 48 h before cell viability was determined using CellTiter 96 AQueous One reagent (Promega). For birinapant treatment of murine cKit+ cells, 2 × 104 cells were plated in 96 well plates containing RPMI supplemented with 10% FBS, glutamine, antibiotics and cytokines (mouse IL-3, 10 ng/ml; mouse IL-6, 10 ng/ml; and mouse SCF, 25 ng/ml; Peprotech) in triplicate from three mice per genotype. birinapant (Selleckchem) or DMSO vehicle was added to achieve desired concentrations and a final well volume of 200 µl before incubating for a further 48 h. Proliferation assays using murine cKit+ cells infected with Cflar shRNA vectors were performed similarly using 2 × 104 cells plated in 96 well plates in triplicate from two mice per genotype with doxycycline (Sigma) or drug vehicle added to 0.1 µg/ml. Apoptosis was determined by Annexin-V and DAPI staining. Necrostatin-1 (20 µM, Sigma) or zVAD (10 µM, Selleckchem) was added at the same time as birinapant or doxycycline where indicated in the text.

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.
