Human NSCLC cells were cultured in RPMI1640 (NCI-H460, NCI-H1650, and H1299) or in DMEM high glucose medium (A549) and maintained at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere (95% air and 5% CO2) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, L-Glutamine and antibiotics. H1299 cells expressing shBeclin-1, sh-Control, EGFP-LC3B, or mRFP-EGFP-LC3B were generated in our previous studies [53 (link)]. All cell lines were obtained from Dr. Donatella Del Bufalo and routinely tested for mycoplasma infection by 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, USA) staining. A-485 was synthetized as previously described [25 (link)], dissolved in DMSO, and stored at −20 °C. For all experiments, cells were treated with 0.1% DMSO, as a control. Chloroquine diphosphate (CQ, Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in water and N-Acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC, Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in the medium and used freshly.

Autophagy Regulation in CHO and HeLa Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This study used two stable CHO-K1 cell lines, CHO/CTRL and CHO/SP1 (generated by transfecting the CHO-K1 cells with pcDNA3.1-CTRL and pcDNA3.1-SP1, respectively) and two stable HeLa cell lines HeLa/CTRL and HeLa/SP1 (generated by transfecting the HeLa cells with pcDNA3.1-CTRL and pcDNA3.1-SP1, respectively). The cells were grown in Iscove’s modified Dulbecco’s medium (IMDM; Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Young In Frontier, Seoul, Korea) and 1% penicillin and streptomycin (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). G418 (Geneticin; Duchefa Biochemie, Haarlem, Netherlands) was added to the IMDM to achieve a final concentration to 500 μg/mL. The cells were maintained in 25-cm2 T-flasks and were incubated at 37°C in an atmosphere of 5% CO2 to produce monolayer cultures. Starvation was induced by incubating the cells with EBSS (Life Technologies). For autophagy inhibition, 5 mM of 3-Methyladenine (3-MA; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) or 20 μΜ of chloroquine diphosphate (CQ; Sigma) were treated in the absence or presence of EBSS.

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.
