All peptides used were prepared with C-terminal amides from Cambridge Research Biochemicals (Billingham, UK) and provided at > 95% purity. Cambridge Research Biochemicals (Billingham, UK) synthesized the ester and acid forms of SDZ-224015 (compounds 4 & 5) used in follow-up studies, provided at > 95% purity. Additional compound 4 was synthesised as described below. pelitinib (10), afatinib (11), dacomitinib (12) and gefitinib (13) were obtained from Tocris (Bristol, UK). The active form of Tarloxotinib (9) was from Molport (Riga, Latvia). Compound 3 was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, Texas, USA), Compounds 2, 7 and 8 were from MedChem Express (Sweden); Compound 6 was from Bachem (Bubendorf, Switzerland).

Primary human astrocytes were a gift of B. Winner, Department of Stem Cell Biology, University Hospital Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany, and originally were obtained from ScienCell (1800) and cultured according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, cells were passaged in astrocyte medium (ScienCell, 1801) until confluency and subsequently plated onto plates precoated with 2 μg/mL poly-l-lysine (Provitro, 0413). For stimulation experiments, astrocytes were activated for 4 hours by stimulation with 20 ng/mL TNF-α (R&D, 210-TA-005) and 20 ng/mL IL-1β (R&D, 201-LB-005), 20 ng/mL IFN-γ (R&D, 485-MI-100/CF), 20 ng/mL IL-6 (R&D, 406-ML-005/CF), or 20 ng/mL GM-CSF (R&D, 415-ML-005/CF). After 4 hours, modulators were administered in addition to fresh TNF-α (10 ng/mL) and IL-1β (10 ng/mL), 20 ng/mL IFN-γ (R&D, 485-MI-100/CF), 20 ng/mL IL-6 (R&D, 406-ML-005/CF), or 20 ng/mL GM-CSF (R&D, 415-ML-005/CF) at the following concentrations: afatinib (Tocris, 6812), 10 μM; pemigatinib (Selleck Chemicals, S0088), 10 μM; and UNC2025 (Selleck Chemicals, S9662), 10 μM.

Generating PH_AKT-TagRFP-T Plasmids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate PHAKT–TagRFP-T plasmids, DNA sequences for wildtype and R25C mutant of PHAKT from PH-Akt-GFP plasmid (#51465, Addgene) and PH-Akt(R25C)-GFP plasmid (#51466, Addgene) were amplified by PCR and cloned into pmTagRFP-T-N1 (50 (link)) using XhoI and BamHI sites. PHAKT–stagRFP was generated by site-directed mutagenesis of TagRFP-T (D159V) in the PHAKT–TagRFP-T plasmid. Exo70(K632A, K635A)-CRY2-mCherry, CIB1-CAAX, and TfRc-pH were previously described (16 (link)). All cloning was done using standard molecular biology techniques. Es2 was purchased from Sigma or Cayman Chemical and stored as a 200-mM stock solution in DMSO at −30°C. Wortmannin, gefitinib, and afatinib were purchased from Tocris Bioscience and stored as 10 mM, 100 mM, and 20 mM stock solutions, respectively, in DMSO at −30°C.

Detailed description can be found in Supplemental Materials and Methods for: cell line cultures conditions; antibodies and gRNA sequences used; MS instrument settings; in vivo PET imaging Cell lines, SILAC labeling, and reagents Human breast cancer cell lines SKBR3, BT474, BT549, and MDA-MB-231; human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines H292 and HCC827; and HEK-293T were obtained from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). SUM149 cells were a gift from Prof. W.T.A. van der Graaf (Medical Oncology, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre, Nijmegen, The Netherlands). Stable isotope labeling of cell lines (SILAC) was done using RPMI or DMEM-high glucose media with normal Arg and Lys (light) or Arg 10 and Lys 8 (heavy) (Silantes). Human MUC1 shedding was measured using a standardized MUC1 human ELISA kit (EHMUC1; Thermo Scientific), mouse MUC1 was measured using a MUC1 mouse ELISA kit (E-EL-M2604; Elabscience). MUC1 has a reported serum half-life of ~7 days 47 . The following inhibitors were used: EGFR inhibitors erlotinib (LC Laboratories; Axon Medchem), gefitinib (Axon Medchem), lapatinib (LC Laboratories), afatinib (Tocris); JAK2 inhibitor BMS-911543 (Selleckchem); PI3K inhibitor BEZ235, AKT inhibitor MK2206, mTORC1/2 inhibitor everolimus, ERK inhibitor FR18024, MEK1 inhibitor AZD6244 (Axon Medchem).

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.
