The cytotoxicity of the developed Dox compositions was evaluated in vitro using the MTT test. HT-1080 cells (105 cells per well) were seeded into sterile 96-well culture plates and incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 using a Binder CO2 incubator (Binder, Tuttlingen, Germany) for 24–26 h. Then, the test substances were added at Dox concentrations of 25, 10, 5, 1, 0.1, and 0 µM and the cells were incubated for 24 h and 48 h.
After that, 20 µL of MTT (5 mg/mL) was carefully added to each well and incubated at 37 °C for 4 h. The medium was then carefully removed and 150 µL of MTT solvent was added. The cells were covered with foil and shaken on an orbital shaker for 15 min. The absorbance was recorded at 550 nm using Multiscan FC (ThermoSpectronic, Waltham, ML, USA) and normalized to the untreated control (without Dox).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human bladder cancer T24 cell line was obtained from China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC, No : GDC078). T24 cells were cultured in MEM medium (Gibco) with 10% FBS, 100 units/ml penicillin and 100 units/ml streptomycin, then maintained in 37°C with 5% CO2 incubator (Binder, Germany). Preparing GA stock solution at a concentration of 500 µg/ml: precisely weighed 2.00 mg GA in a EP tube, added 4 ml FBS free MEM medium, mixed with a vortex to ensure complete dissolution, and then stored at -20°C. The GA stock solution needs to be diluted before use. Specifically, the GA stock solution was taken out and dissolved in the dark at 37°C, and then it was diluted to the appointed concentration with FBS-free MEM medium to obtain the working solution. Attention should be paid here to avoid light in the use of GA.

Human PC cell line DU145 along with the human embryonic kidneys (HEK293T) which were purchased from the National Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology cell bank (NIGEB Tehran, Iran) were considered for in vitro examinations. We used Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI1640, Invitrogen, USA) and Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Gibco, USA) for culturing DU145 and HEK293T cells, respectively. Each media was supplemented with 100,000 U/L of penicillin, 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Fluka, Switzerland), and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Biowest, France). Cells incubation was carried out in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37 °C (Binder, USA).

Early Peptide Toxicity Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine early signs of peptide toxicity, the library was tested against the MRC5-SV2 cell line of human, embryonic lung fibroblasts (Sigma-Aldrich). Peptides were serially diluted in 96-well plates as described earlier at concentrations ranging from 64 μM to 0.25 μM for the first screening, and from 32 μM to 0.016 μM for the independent repeat. Tamoxifen (Sigma-Aldrich) was included as a reference compound. After preparation of the test plates, cell suspension (190 μL) of 1.5 × 10^5 cells/mL in complete minimum essential medium (Gibco) was added to the peptides. Plates were incubated for 72 h at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator (Binder). Afterwards, 50 μL of a 0.01% (wt/vol) resazurin (Sigma-Aldrich) solution was added to the wells to detect cell viability. After 4 h of incubation, fluorescence was read using a microplate reader (Telix) at λexcitation = 550 nm and λemission = 590 and the IC50 values were calculated.

Oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD): when grown to confluence, pBVECs were cultured in FBS-, Sodium Pyruvate- and Glucose-free F12/DMEM culture medium (Gibco) in a 0.2% O2 and 5% CO2 incubator (Binder) at 37˚C for 20 hours.

For pathway study, cells were pre-treated with PD98059 (10 μmol/ml), Rapamycin (0.1 μmol/ml) and LY249002 (10 μmol/ml) for 1 hour to inhibit ERK, mTOR, and AKT respectively. And then, cell apoptosis and necrosis in the model of OGD+LON were detected.

The antiproliferative effect of Fe3O4 MNPs on various cancer cell lines and a normal Chang liver cell line was quantified using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) kit (Sigma-Aldrich) according to the standard method.28 (link) Briefly, cells were allowed to grow in a 75 cm2 cell culture flask (TPP Techno Plastic Products, Trasadingen, Switzerland) until 95% confluent. The cells were then seeded into each well of a 96-well microculture plate (TPP Techno Plastic Products) at a concentration of 1×105 cells/mL and treated with Fe3O4 MNPs at various concentrations. After incubation for 72 hours at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator (Binder GmbH), 25 μL of a 5.5 mg/mL MTT solution was added to each well, covered with aluminum foil, and incubated for a further 3 hours in the dark. Immediately afterwards, the medium was aspirated and the remaining purple formazan was lysed with MTT solution. The assay was performed in triplicate. The optical density was then measured at 570 nm using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay universal microplate reader (Bio Tek Instruments, Inc., VT, USA). The inhibitory concentration 50 (IC50) value was determined from the absorbance versus concentration curve. Dimethyl sulfoxide 0.1% was used as the negative control.

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.
