Camptothecin

Manufactured by MedChemExpress
Sourced in United States

Camptothecin is a chemical compound derived from the Camptotheca acuminata tree. It is a naturally occurring alkaloid with potent anti-cancer properties. Camptothecin acts as a topoisomerase I inhibitor, which is a key enzyme involved in DNA replication and transcription. This compound has been extensively studied and used as a lead molecule for the development of various anti-cancer drugs.

Apoptosis induction in cell lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded in 6-well plates at a density of 1.0 × 105 cells/well, serum-starved for 24 h, and treated with 10 % of FBS, L-PRP, or P-PRP for 7 days. The cells were then incubated with 10 μM camptothecin (MedChem Express, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) for 6 h to induce apoptosis. Cell viability and apoptosis was analyzed by staining with Annexin V and PI [37 (link)]. Briefly, cultured cells were detached, centrifuged, resuspended in phosphate buffered saline (PBS; Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and stained with an Annexin V-FITC/PI staining kit (Cell Signaling Technology, Denvers, MA, USA). Data was acquired and analyzed by flow cytometry and guavaSoft (Guava easyCyte 8HT flow cytometry system, Millipore, MA, USA).

Media of different pHs were added to the cells. After 24 h of incubation, the cells were incubated with 10 μM camptothecin (MedChem Express) for 6 h to induce apoptosis. Cell viability was then analysed using a LIVE/DEAD Fixable Green Dead Cell Stain Kit (Molecular Probe) or an Annexin V/PI apoptotic analysis kit (Cell Signalling Technology) according to the manufacturers' instructions.

The human leukemia (HEL 92.1.7, K562) and epithelial-like HEK293T (CRL-3216) cell lines were obtained from ATCC (US) and tested negative for mycoplasma. These cell lines were cultured and maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with HyClone 5% fetal bovine serum (GE Healthcare, US).
For drug treatment, cells were treated with Camptothecin (MedChemExpress, CN), T5224 (APExBIO, CN) and R406 (Beyotime Biotechnology, CN) for indicated times and used for cell proliferation analysis. Generation of K562-fli1 cells was previously described [21 (link)]. For FLI1 induction, cells were treated with 5μM of doxycycline (Solarbio, CN).

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.
