Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human NB cell lines UKF-NB-3 and UKF-NB-4 [40 ], established from bone marrow metastases of high-risk NB, were a gift from Prof. J. Cinatl, Jr. (J. W. Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany). IMR-32 and SH-SY5Y were purchased from ECACC, Salisbury, UK. Cells were cultivated in Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium (IMDM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (all from Gibco Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Cultured cells were grown in a humid incubator at 37°C and 5% CO2. Sodium salt of valproic acid (VPA), trichostatin-A (TSA), vorinostate (SAHA), entinostat (MS-275) and valpromide (VPM) were purchased from Sigma Chemical Co. (St. Louis, MO, USA). VPA was dissolved in IMDM while other HDAC inhibitors (TSA, SAHA and MS-275) and VPA analogue (VPM) were dissolved in DMSO that was used in final concentration not exceeding 0.3%. Vincristine sulfate (VCR) and cisplatin (CDDP) were obtained from Teva Pharmaceuticals (Prague, Czech Republic) and PLIVA-Lachema (Brno, Czech Republic) respectively.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bortezomib (BZM; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) was diluted in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, stock: 1 mM) according to the manufacturer's instructions and stored at −20°C upon use. Further dilution steps were carried out directly before application, and an equal dilution of DMSO was used as solvent control. Cisplatin (CDDP; TEVA, Ulm, Germany) was supplied as a stock solution (1 mg/ml) (Center for Cytostatics Preparation, University Hospital Gießen and Marburg, Germany) and further diluted in pure water (stock: 1 mM) directly before application. X-ray irradiation (IR) was carried out using an X-RAD 320 iX (Precision X-Ray Inc., Denver, CO) X-ray tube; anode voltage: 320 kV, current: 10 mA, dose rate: 1.2 Gy/min, focus object distance: 60 cm, filter: 0.5 mm Cu and 0.5 mm Al. Further treatment conditions are indicated in the results section.

Evaluation of NAC-mediated Chemosensitization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Carboplatin (CBP) (SAGENT Pharmaceuticals, Schaumburg, IL), cisplatin (CDDP) (Teva Pharmaceuticals, Sellersville, PA) and doxorubicin (Pfizer Inc, New York, NY) were obtained from the institutional inpatient pharmacy. The following antibodies were used in this study: anti-p53 DO-1(Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-phospho- P53 (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), anti-p21 (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), anti-PARP (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), ATM (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), p-ATM (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA), p-Histone H2AX S139 (Cell signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), LDHa, LDHb (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) and β-actin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA).

Cytotoxicity Evaluation of CDDP and Doxorubicin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cisplatin (CDDP) and doxorubicin were purchased from Teva (Israel) and diluted in a complete culture medium. For chemosensitivity analysis, Neuro2a cells were seeded at 70% confluence and treated with 30 μM CDDP. The CDDP working concentration was determined through comparing the cell apoptosis level in treated cells being significantly higher with that in non-treated control WT cells. The cells treated with PBS were used as a control for relative comparison. After 24 h of treatment, cells were collected for flow cytometry, western blot analysis and caspase activity assay.
The effect of doxorubicin on cell survival was analyzed using Neuro2a cells, which were seeded in a 96-well plate at a concentration of 1 × 104 cells/well in 100 μL of culture medium and treated with 1 μM doxorubicin. MTT test was performed to evaluate cell viability before doxorubicin administration (0 h) and 24 h after as described earlier [24 (link)]. Briefly, at regular time points the cells were incubated with 0.1 mg of MTT (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) for 2 h at 37 °C and then lysed in 100 μL of lysing buffer (25 mM HCl, 2% acetic acid, 3% DMF, 5% SDS, pH 4.7). The absorbance at 570 nm was measured using plate reader Infinite F200 PRO (Life Sciences, Tecan, Grodig, Austria).

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.
