Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HONE1, HK1, CNE1, CNE2, SUNE1, C666-1, and NPC43 NPC cell lines, and immortalized nasopharyngeal epithelial cell lines NP69 and NP460 were cultured as previously described [4 (link),18 (link)]. Cell lines were authenticated by and obtained from the Hong Kong NPC AoE Cell Line Repository. HK11.19 is a HONE1/chromosome 11 microcell hybrid cell line (MCH) that was established by the transfer of an additional intact human chromosome 11 into HONE1 and expressed physiological levels of THY1 (in the recipient HONE1 cells, THY1 expression is downregulated by promoter hymermethylation, and human THY1 maps to chromosome 11q22.3) [4 (link),19 (link)]. Recombinant human PDGF-BB was obtained from PeproTech (PeproTech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA, #100-14B-10). KX2-391 (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA, #S2700), bosutinib (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA, #S1014), and saracatinib (Selleckchem, Houston, TX, USA, #1006) were prepared in DMSO at a concentration of 10 mM for an in vitro assay. For the in vivo assay, KX2-391 was first dissolved in DMSO to a concentration of 85 mg/mL, then formulated with PEG-300 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MI, USA, #202371) and PBS before injection following the manufacturer’s instructions (the injection solution contains 4% DMSO, 30% PEG-300, and 66% PBS).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To generate spontaneous colon carcinoma tumor, C57BL/6 mice were treated with three cycles of Azoxymethane (AOM)/Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) as previously described (6 (link)). To establish subcutaneous tumor models, CT26 cells (2×105 cells/mouse) were injected into the right flanks of BALB/c mice. For experimental lung metastasis models, colon carcinoma CT26, mesothelioma AB1 (2×105 cells/mouse) and mammary carcinoma 4T1 (2×104 cells/mouse) were injected into BALB/c mice. Tumor-bearing mice were treated with vehicle PEG300 (Sigma-Aldrich) and NC06 (dissolved in PEG300), respectively, every two days for 3–5 times by Intraperitoneal injection. Tumor size was measured in two dimensions with a digital micrometer caliper at the indicated time points. Tumor size was calculated by the formula: (tumor length × tumor width2)/2. To quantify lung tumor nodules, lungs were inflated with 15% India ink solution and fixed in Fekete’s Solution (58% Ethanol, 8.7% formaldehyde, and 4.3% glacial acid) as previously described (25 ).

67NR cells were injected into the mammary fat pads of mice at day 0 as described [48 (link)]. The mice were treated 3x/week (up to six treatments) from day 7 with vehicle (97% polyethylene glycol 300 (PEG300, Merck) in DMSO (V/V), per oral (p.o), 0.15 mL, n=11), ATX-101 (6 mg/kg net peptide, intraperitoneal (i.p), 0.2 mL, n=11)(APIM Therapeutics, Trondheim, Norway), AEE788 (25 mg/kg, p.o, 0.15 mL, n=16) or APIM-peptide/AEE788 combination (n=16). Tumors were measured (3x/week, electronic Vernier Caliper) and volumes calculated using the formula for a spheroid: 43×a2×b×π (2a=tumor width, 2b=tumor height). A subgroup of these mice were harvested 24 hours after the third treatment (n=6 in each treatment group). The tumors from these mice were used to study the kinome using the multiplexed-inhibitory bead (MIB)-assay. The remaining mice were used to follow tumor growth and overall survival (vehicle: n=5, ATX-101: n=5, AEE788: n=10, combination: n=10). Mice were euthanized using carbon dioxide (2L/min) and tumors harvested when they reached their humane end point (judged by tumor burden and health status). Treatments were stopped when tumors reached 900 mm3 or at day 19.

Nivolumab (anti‐PD‐1) was provided by Bristol‐Myers Squibb (10 mg/mL solution for infusion), diluted in .9% saline and administered by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection 2 times per week (10 mg/kg). Tumours were measured 3 times per week with a calipre and volume was calculated using the formula: length × width2 × π/6. Mice were euthanised after 30 days of treatment or before, whenever tumours reached a volume of 2000 mm3, or in case of any intolerable discomfort. Tumours were harvested and processed into formalin‐fixed, paraffin‐embedded (FFPE) blocks for immunohistochemistry (IHC) or multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) stainings.

Crizotinib was formulated in 5% DMSO, 30% PEG300 (Merck) and 65% double distilled water. ADK-VR2 cell line was injected subcutaneously at the dose of 106 cells in NSG female mice (37-week-old) to assess tumor growth. The animals were randomized into control and treated group. Five mice were enrolled in each test group in order to have an 80% chance of showing, with a 5% significance, a 65% of success in the experimental group. Control group was not treated (n=5), treated mice received crizotinib 50 mg/kg daily per os by gavage starting from 12 days after cell injection (5 mice were enrolled but a censored mouse at 6 week from cell injection was not included in tumor growth analysis; n=4). Animals were checked weekly, and tumors were measured with calipers. Tumor volume was calculated as described in the previous section and mice were sacrificed as previously described. Blinding to assess the outcome of in vivo experiments was not done. To minimize potential confounders, we used labelled cages. Labels had a different colour for each group.

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.
