Doxorubicin-Induced Cytotoxicity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay was performed using an LDH Cytotoxicity Detection Kit (Takara Bio, Shiga, Japan). Doxorubicin (Wako) at 0.1, 1, 2, 5, or 10 μM was added for 24 h. After adding Doxorubicin for 24 h, the supernatants were then collected, and a mixture of diaphorase/NAD+ was added to each well. After incubation in the dark room for 30 min at room temperature, the absorbance was recorded on a microplate reader (DS Pharma Biomedical, Osaka, Japan) at a wavelength of 490 nm with a reference wavelength of 600 nm. The experiments were performed in triplicate. The LDH release was determined as the percentage of LDH release compared with that of the vehicle control.

TNBC Cell Line Manipulation and Analyses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Triple-negative breast cancer cells, BT549 wild type (WT) cells were purchased from the ATCC by the Laboratory of Experimental Pathology, University of Tsukuba. BT549 TMEPAI-knocked-out (KO) cells were established previously using the CRISPR-Cas9 technique.
Cells were cultured and maintained using culture medium described previously.16 (link) Experiments were done when the cells reached 70% confluency under cell starvation in 1% Fetal Bovine Serum (Gibco) in a 10-cm tissue-culture dish (Corning). Cells were then treated with recombinant human TGF-β (Wako) 2 ng/mL for 24 hours, followed by TGF-β 2 ng/mL and doxorubicin (Wako) 12.9 nM for another 24 hours. The dose of doxorubicin was based on our previous experiment that showed the IC50 of doxorubicin in BT549 cells was 12.9 nM.16 (link) Afterward, cells were harvested and counted. Cell viability was calculated using the trypan blue exclusion method. Then, these cells were lysed and isolated for RNA and protein for further analysis. All the treatments were done in four separate experiments in duplicate.

Characterization of Fission Yeast Ess1 Mutant

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Schizosaccharomyces pombe SPBC2D10.03c/Ess1 was identified to be the counterpart of human C1orf123 by Pombase and NCBI BLASTp. The null mutant was obtained from Bioneer (ver 2.0) haploid gene deletion library (Bionee, Daejeon, South Korea) and a strain without nutritional markers was created by crossing with prototrophic wild-type (WT) 972 strain. PCR with locus specific primers were performed to confirm the gene deletion. Previously published procedures to culture and test drug hypersensitivity in fission yeast were followed (Tay et al., 2013 (link); Nguyen et al., 2016 (link)). Briefly, cells were grown in YEA (3% glucose, 0.5% yeast extract, 75 mg/ml L-adenine) to log-phase, ten-fold serial-diluted and spotted onto media agar plates incorporated with drugs: hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyurea (HU) (Sigma-Aldrich) and doxorubicin (Wako Pure Chemical Industries Ltd, Japan). Cell growth was documented 3 and 6 days after spotting.

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.
