EGFR mutant PC-9 and HCC827 (ΔE746-A750) and PC-9/ER, PC-9/ERC15, PC-9/ERC16, and HCC827/ER (ΔE746-A750; T790M) NSCLC cells were provided by Dr. William Pao (Vanderbilt University). erlotinib resistant cells were derived as described and characterized (27 ). AZD9291 resistant cells were derived as described and characterized (28 ). Cell lines were authenticated and sequenced for signature mutations (27 ). EGFR TKI resistant lines were maintained in the presence of 1μM erlotinib (Cell Signaling Technology) throughout the study (refreshed every 72 hours) although experiments were routinely conducted after a 72 hour drug holiday. ALW-II-41-27 and NG-25 were generously provided by Nathanael Gray (Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School). ALW-II-41-27 was determined to have >99.7% purity by LCMS analysis. 293T cells used for lentivirus production were purchased from ATCC.
All lung cancer cell lines were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium (Corning/Cellgro) supplemented with L-glutamine (2mM), 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) (Thermo Scientific, HyClone Laboratories Inc.), penicillin (100U/mL), and streptomycin (100μg/mL). 293T cells were grown in DMEM (Corning/Cellgro) supplemented with L-glutamine (2mM), and 10% FBS. All cells were grown in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 at 37°C.

Synthesis and Characterization of Photosensitizers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synthesis, isolation and analysis of HPPH and its 172 methylester derivative HPPH-ME [19 (link)], PS-531-COOH and PS-531-ME [19 (link)], erlotinib-conjugates PS-908 [10 (link)], and PS 5 to PS 43 (Figure 1) [11 (link)] have been previously reported. Each PS preparation used for tissue culture and in vivo studies has been verified by mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis for purity of >96% and to be without trace of free erlotinib. Stock solutions of the PSs with concentrations ranging from 0.3 to 1.2 mM were prepared in H2O containing 5% glucose, 0.1% Tween 80 and 0.1% ethanol and diluted in culture medium or injection solution immediately prior to use. The concentrations of PSs in the treatment media were confirmed by using medium aliquots, diluted 10-fold in methanol, removed precipitated proteins by centrifugation and determined PS concentration in the supernatant by fluorometry. Stock solution of erlotinib (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) was prepared in DMSO (10 mM) and aliquots diluted into medium for cell treatment.

Cisplatin Resistance Induction in Ovarian Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As originally demonstrated in [20 (link)], resistance to cisplatin can be increased in ovarian cancer cells by repeated sequential treatments with cisplatin followed by drug free recovery times. Our cisplatin resistance paradigm was modeled from [20 (link)]. Briefly, OVCA 433 cells were treated with cisplatin for 48 hours then allowed to recover for at least 48 hours after drug treatment. Cells completed three cycles of each concentration of cisplatin followed by drug free recovery times before being exposed to the next higher dose. The doses of cisplatin used were 3, 6 and 9 μM. Cells completing this paradigm were termed Cisplatin resistant (CPR) cells. Passage control cells (not undergoing cisplatin treatments) were carried out in parallel. EGFR was inhibited by treating cells with 1 μM Erlotinib (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA) for at least 1 hour prior to drug treatments with cisplatin. Erlotinib was maintained in the culture media for 48 hours with cisplatin treatments and then cells were allowed to recover from all drug treatment in MEME growth media during drug free intervals.

Sunitinib, erlotinib, U0126 (all purchased from Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) and FR180204 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) were prepared as a 20 mM stock solution in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and stored at −20 °C. PDGF-BB (Cell Signaling Technology) was prepared at a concentration of 100 µg/mL in 20 mM citric acid (pH 3.0) supplemented with 0.8% BSA (bovine serum albumin) and stored at 4 °C. EGF (Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared at a concentration of 100 µg/mL in 10 mM HCl and stored at 4 °C. For the determination of proliferative activity, concentrations of protein kinase inhibitors (PKIs) ranging from 0.001 to 10 μM and PDGF-BB concentrations of 0.25 and 10 ng/mL were tested. For Western blot analyses, PKI concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 10 μM, PDGF-BB concentrations of 10 and 30 ng/mL and EGF concentrations of 40 and 100 ng/mL were used.

EGFR Signaling Inhibition in Breast Cancer Cells

To inhibit the EGFR signaling pathway, 70% confluent BT-549 and MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured with serum free medium overnight followed by a 5-hour incubation in medium containing 10 μM EGFR small molecule inhibitor Erlotinib (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA). Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibition was verified by immunoblotting with rabbit anti-Phospho-EGF Receptor (Tyr1068) (Cell Signaling Technology). The PI3K pathway was analyzed using rabbit anti-p-Akt and rabbit anti-Akt antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology), and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibition by immunoblotting with a rabbit anti-p-ERK 1/2 antibody (Cell Signaling Technology) and a rabbit anti-ERK 2 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA).

For all treatments, cells were seeded and maintained in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 and 37°C for 24 h before the experimental conditions were applied. For mild hypoxia (1% O2) cells were transferred to a low-oxygen incubator prepared according to the protocol of Wright and Shay (27 (link)). In brief, cell culture dishes were placed in gas-tight containers that were flushed with a well-defined gas mixture consisting of 1% O2, 5% CO2, and 94% N2 and were placed in an incubator at 5% CO2 and 37°C for 48 h. Anoxia (<0.01% O2) was induced by using the Anaerocult® A-System (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) in gas-tight containers for 24 and 48 h. Anoxic conditions were monitored through the Anaerotest®-System (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Normoxic HNSCC cells were cultured under atmospheric oxygen (21% O2) at 5% CO2 and 37°C. Treatments with CoCl2 (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) at 150 µM for 48 h, staurosporine (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany) at 1 µM for 2, 4, and 6 h and erlotinib (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, USA) at 1 µM for 72 h was conducted at atmospheric oxygen at 5% CO2 and 37°C.

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.
