N ethyl n nitrosourea enu

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a laboratory tool in research and experimentation. It serves as a mutagenic agent, capable of inducing genetic mutations in cells and organisms. ENU's core function is to facilitate the study of genetic processes and the impact of genetic modifications, without providing any interpretation or recommendations for its intended use.

ENU-Induced Carcinogenesis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The n-ethyl-n-nitrosourea (ENU) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). It was stored at −20 °C until needed for the experiment. The chemical carcinogen was prepared freshly on each of the administration day by dissolving the required quantity according to the average bodyweight of the mice in the treatment group in the required volume of normal saline. The dissolved powder was mixed thoroughly by vortex to dissolve the solute properly. Eighty (80) mg/kg bodyweight of the dissolved powder was injected to each of the mice in the treatment group via intraperitoneal route using an insulin syringe with a 26-gauge needle. The mice were injected twice with the same dose at one-week interval [35 (link)]. The mice were closely monitored for any signs of toxicity and/or mortality. Feed and water were made available for the mice ad libitum.

Mutagenesis Screen for EGFR Inhibitor Resistance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) was purchased from Sigma Aldrich and mutagenesis studies were carried as previously described (25 (link)). Briefly, 1×106 cells/ml of L858R and L858R/T790M Ba/F3 cells were treated with 50μg/ml of ENU for 24 hours before the cells were washed in RPMI media and allowed to expand. 1×104 cells per well were plated in 96 wells and 5 plates were plated per condition. These cells were treated continuously with either DMSO, 1μM gefitinib, 1μM osimertinib, 10μM JBJ-04-125-02 alone or with gefitinib/JBJ or osimertinib/JBJ drug combinations with media and drug change once a week. Cell growth was monitored and number of resistant colonies were counted and expanded.

ENU-induced Mouse Cancer Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In carcinogen‐induced mouse model, N‐ethyl‐N‐nitrosourea (ENU) (759‐73‐9, Sigma–Aldrich) or PBS was administrated intraperitoneally (0.5 µmol per g of body weight) to Ripk3+/+and Ripk3−/‐ mice at postnatal day 14 (P14). After 30 days of injection, mice were injected with LB‐100 (S7537, Selleck) or SMAP (S8774, Selleck) intraperitoneally at 2 mg kg−1 on alternate days for 30 days.

ENU Mutagenesis in Zebrafish

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tuebingen male fish were treated with N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU; Sigma) following an optimized protocol using clove oil (Sigma) as a sedative (Rohner et al., 2011 (link)). The surviving mutagenized founders were crossed to frntt31786 homozygous females. Progeny were screened at 2–3 months of age to identify frnt phenotypes. Mutants were maintained by out crossing to Tuebingen wild-type strain and incrossing.

Obinutuzumab-based Combination Chemotherapy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Obinutuzumab was provided by F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd. Doxorubicin, vincristine, bendamustine (Selleck Chemicals LLC), 4-hydroperoxy-cyclophosphamide (4-OOH-CY), an active metabolite of cyclophosphamide (Cayman Chemical), and prednisolone (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) were used as the combined chemotherapeutic agents. Each of these agents was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (Sigma-Aldrich). N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) and Z-VAD-FMK were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and Promega Corporation, respectively. SU-DHL-4 cells, a human germinal center B cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma cell line, were obtained from the ATCC at 2017, and were maintained in RPMI1640 (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 10% FBS (Sigma-Aldrich), 10 mmol/L HEPES (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.45% D-glucose (Sigma-Aldrich), and 1 mmol/L sodium pyruvate (Thermo Fisher Scientific). All cells were cultured at 37 C under 5% CO 2 , tested Mycoplasma contamination, and passed less than 20 times.

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.
