VK2/E6E7 were seeded in 96-well plates. Once 90–95% confluent were obtained, the cells were treated as described above and incubated at 37 °C under a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 for 24 h. Then, 100 μL of MTT solution (5 mg/mL) (Servicebio Technology Co., China) was added to each well, and the cells were incubated at 37 °C under a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2 for 4 h. The supernatant was discarded and 100 μL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Servicebio Technology Co., China) was added to each well. Crystals were dissolved by shaking for 15 mins and absorbance was measured at 570 nm using a microplate reader (Bio-Tek, USA). Viability was calculated using the following formula: Cell survival rate = (model group OD value-blank pore OD value)/(normal control group OD value-blank pore OD value) × 100%.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
KGN, a human GC line, Obtained from ATCC, was cultured in DMEM/F12 medium (Gibco, Grand Island, NE, United States) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco) and 100 μg/mL antibiotics (a mixture of penicillin and streptomycin; Welgene) at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator.
The cells were treated with 10 μM of PFT-α (Selleck, USA) or equal dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Servicebio, Wuhan, China) for 12 h and then the cells were digested with enzyme and collected for Western blotting. The cells were subjected to starvation for the indicated periods using EBSS (Procell, Wuhan, China) and detected via autophagy flux using 10 μM of chloroquine (CQ, MedChemExpress, Shanghai, China). Furthermore, the cells were treated with 50 of μg/mL cycloheximide (CHX, Selleck, State of Texas, USA) and collected every 30 min to determine the stability of the p53 protein.

Autophagy Monitoring Using Lentiviral Vectors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The recombinant lentivirus vector mRFP-GFP-LC3B was produced by GENECHEM (Shanghai, China). GFP and mRFP fluorescent puncta indicate autophagosomes that has not fused with lysosomes. However, when the autophagosome fuses with the lysosome, the GFP signal is sensitive to the acidic environment in the lysosome and is quenched; therefore, the mRFP punctum that do not emit GFP correspond to an autolysosome.
Rapamycin (Rapa), 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and bafilomycin A1 (Baf A1) were purchased from Selleck, and LY294002 was purchased from MCE (MedChemExpress, Shanghai, China). The following antibodies in the immunoblotting and immunofluorescence were used: anti-LC3B, anti-Atg5, anti-p-Akt, anti-Akt, anti-PI3K, anti-p-mTOR, anti-mTOR, anti-gD and anti-ICP5 were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology. The antibody for SQSTM1/p62 was obtained from Proteintech, and anti-β-actin, 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium (MTT) and DMSO were purchased from Servicebio, Wuhan, China.

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.
