OVMANA cells were plated (5×105) after adherence media were replaced with fresh media containing either DMSO (control), URML-3881 at varying concentrations, R05126766 at 10 μM, AS703026 at 10 μM, or sorafenib at 10 μM (all drugs except URML-3881 were obtained from Selleck Chemicals). Cell lysis buffer (Cell Signaling, 9803S), supplemented with Halt protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Thermo Scientific, 1862209 and 1862495), was utilized for protein extraction. Animal tumor tissue was snap frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. It was then thawed and mechanically homogenized in cell lysis buffer. Protein concentrations were determined using the DC Protein Assay (Bio-Rad, 5000111). Western blot analysis was performed as previously described [22] (link). Primary antibodies against p-ERK (4370), ERK (9102), p-MEK (2338), MEK 1/2 (4694), p-AKT (9271), AKT (9272), pPEA-15 (2776), and PEA-15 (2780) were all obtained from Cell Signaling Technology and used at the recommended dilutions.

All inhibitors were prepaed in DMSO at 100 mM. Cells were treated with inhibitors prepared in culture media where the final concentration of DMSO was 2% v/v. Vehicle control treatments consisted of culture media containing 2% v/v DMSO. Six days after treatment, cell survival was measured in comparison to vehicle controls using the CellTiter 96® Assay as per manufacturer instructions (MTS assay, Promega Corporation, WI, USA). Data were analyzed in GraphPad Prism® version 5.00 for Windows (GraphPad Software, CA, USA) to measure the log10 of IC50 for each drug. For combination assays, drugs were added simultaneously. Heatmaps for sensitivities (-log10 of IC50) were prepared using D-chip Analyzer software [49 (link)].

Human melanoma cell lines: primary WM115 (VGP) and metastatic: WM266–4 (derived from metastatic site – right thigh skin). These cells lines feature the specific V600D mutation in the B-RAF gene, as well as express PTEN loss of function including hemizygous deletion and wild type for N-ras, c-KIT and CDK4. Cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum and antibiotics: penicillin and streptomycin. Cells were incubated at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 in air. Cells were treated with inhibitors of: 1/AKT – MK-2206 (Selleck) at 2 μM concentration, 2/ MEK – AS-703026 (Selleck) at 10 μM concentration, 3/ PI3K – LY294002 (Cell Signalling TM) at 20 μM concentration, 4/ ERK1/2 – U0126 (Cell Signalling TM) at 10 μM concentration, and 5/ mTOR – everolimus (Selleck) at: 20 nM, 2 μM, 5 μM and 10 μM concentrations. The incubation time of melanoma cells with inhibitors were 24 and 48 h. Cells were obtained from the ESTDAB Melanoma Cell Bank (Tubingen, Germany).

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.
