Evaluating Drug Resistance in Cell Cultures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For resistance determination, 40,000 cells were seeded per well in a clear bottom-flat 24-well plate (Greiner) including medium control as blank and were grown overnight. The cells were exposed to increasing concentrations from 0.2 to 500 μM SM including vehicle control for 5 days. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) inhibitors ezatiostat (TLK199, Cayman Chemical) and ethacrynic acid (Sigma) were added to medium in final concentrations of 400 nM and 600 nM, respectively. Stock solutions of both inhibitors were prepared in DMSO with 10 mg/mL. After pre-dilution in 100 % EtOH, GST activator ethoxyquin (Sigma) was used with 24 μM final concentration as a pre-treatment for 24 hours. For testing resistance against H2O2, concentrations between 0.24 and 80,000 μ M were used including medium control for 5 days. Therefore, 30 % H2O2 (Sigma) was pre-diluted in sterile ddH2O. After exposition over 5 days, cells were washed with medium and XTT staining solution (Sigma) was prepared by mixing 5 mL XTT labeling reagent with 0.1 mL electron-coupling reagent per plate. 400 μ L medium with 200 μ L of XTT staining solution were added per well and incubated for 6 h. Extinction was measured at 450 nm with reference at 630 nm. All conditions were tested in biological triplicates.

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.
