MDA-MB-231, HCC1143, and HCC1937 breast cancer cells were purchased from the Korean Cell Line Bank (Seoul, Korea). Hep3B, Huh7, LCSC, HepG2, and PLC/PRF/5 hepatic cancer cells were a kind gift of Dr. Roberto Gedaly (College of Medicine, University of Kentucky). All other established cell lines were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Rockville, MD). All cells were cultured according to the manufacturer’s protocol in 5% CO2 in medium. Cultured cell lines were tested for Mycoplasma contamination routinely every 6 months. Specifically, H23 and H727 cells were tested twice in the course of performing the experiments described within this publication (Supplementary Fig. S4). Inhibitors of UPS pathways used in this study were purchased from commercial vendors: carfilzomib (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA), bortezomib (ChemieTek, Indianapolis, IN), MG-132 (EMD Millipore, San Diego, CA), PYR-41 (ApexBio, Houston, TX), and P5091 (ApexBio, Houston, TX). The following proteasome fluorogenic substrates were used: Suc-LLVY-AMC (Bachem, Torrance, CA; I-1395), Ac-WLA-AMC (Boston Biochem, Cambridge, MA; S-330), Ac-nLPnLD-AMC (Bachem; I-1850), Ac-RLR-AMC (Boston Biochem; S-290), Ac-ANW-AMC (Boston Biochem; S-320), and Ac-PAL-AMC (Boston Biochem; S-310). Human recombinant Interferon-γ was purchased from eBioscience (San Diego, CA).

Proteasome Activity Assay

Proteasome
activity was
determined using Ac-nLPnLD-AMC (Bachem) for caspase-like (β1)
activity, Ac-WLR-AMC (custom, Anaspec, Freemont, CA) for trypsin-like
(β2) activity, and Ac-WLA-AMC (custom, Anaspec, Freemont, CA)
for chymotrypsin-like (β5) activity. Compounds with 3-fold dilutions
from 10 μM (10 concentration points in duplicate) were plated
out into black 1536-well plates. The reaction was initiated by adding
the AMC substrates, PA28αβ, and 20S proteasome sequentially
to the plates. 1 nM Pf20S proteasome, 24 nM PA28αβ,
and 15 μM AMC substrates were incubated in the assay buffer
(50 mM Tris, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM DTT, 0.01% BSA, pH 7.4) at
37 °C for 1 or 2 h. Release of AMC fluorophore (excitation, 360
nm; emission, 450 nm) was measured using a fluorescence microplate
reader (FLUOstar, BMG Labtech). Slopes of AMC formation over the measurement
period were determined for each compound concentration to assess the
inhibitory effect (i.e., end-point assay). The same set of compounds
was also tested for inhibitory activity against human 20S constitutive
proteasome and immunoproteasome (Boston Biochem).

Ac-nLPnLD-amc, Boc-LSTR-amc and Suc-LLVY-amc peptides were purchased from Bachem AG (Bubendorf, CHE). Marizomib, chloroquine and verteporfin were from Sigma (St. Louis, MO), bortezomib was from Tebu bio (Le Perray en Yvelines, France), bafilomycin A1 and everolimus were from Invivogen (San Diego, 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.
