In vitro drug sensitivity to therapeutic agents was assessed with CCK-8 as previously described (20 (link)). Cells were exposed to different concentration gradients of chemotherapeutic agents [including vincristine (VCR; 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 µg/l; Selleck Chemicals), daunorubicin (DNR; 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 µg/l; Selleck Chemicals), cyclophosphamide (CPM; 50, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1,000 µg/ml; Selleck Chemicals), dexamethasone (DXM; 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 nmol/l; Selleck Chemicals) or imatinib (10, 20 and 30 µmol/l; Sigma-Aldrich; Merch KGaA) at 37°C for 48 h, and CCK-8 was used to determine the cell viability. Optical density (OD) values were measured at 450 nm using a SpectraMax M5 microplate reader (Molecular Devices, LLC). The cytotoxicity was calculated using the following formula: Cytotoxicity (%)=(1-mean OD of treated/mean OD of control) ×100.

Oxaliplatin (L-OHP) and vincristine (VCR) were purchased from Selleck Chemicals (Houston, TX, USA). Fetal bovine serum (FBS), RPMI-1640 culture medium, penicillin, and streptomycin were purchased from Gibco (Carlsbad, CA, USA). shFOXM1 (target sequence, 5'- CTCTTCTCCCTCAGATATA-3'), shDVL2 (target sequence, 5'-GGAAGAAATTTCAGATGAC-3'), shSnail (target sequence, 5'- GCCTTCAACTGCAAATACT-3'), and shRNA negative control (shNC) were gained from Genechem (Shanghai, China). cDNAs encoding FOXM1 or Snail was respectively cloned into pcDNA3.1 or pcDNA3.1-HA. pcDNA3.1-Flag-DVL2 was derived from pCMV5-3XFlag-DVL2 which was a gift from Jeff Wrana (Addgene plasmid # 24802) [78 (link)]. Lipofectamine 3000 transfection reagent was purchased from Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA, USA). BCA protein assay kit, Radioimmunoprecipitation (RIPA) lysis buffer, Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Protein Extraction kit, and protein A+G agarose beads were obtained from Beyotime Biotechnology (Nantong, China). Primary antibodies against FOXM1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, Snail and P-gp were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, USA). Primary antibodies against DVL2, HA, Flag, GAPDH and Lamin B1 were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). The horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibody was purchased from ZSGB-bio (Peking, China).

Cytarabine (Ara-C) (Selleckchem, Cat # S1648), Methotrexate (MTX) (Selleckchem, Cat # S1210), Vincristine (VCR) (Selleckchem, Cat # S1241), MG132 (Selleckchem, cat # S2619), Caffeine (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat # C0750), and 79-6 (Calbiochem, Cat # 197345) were diluted and stored per manufacturer recommendations. For in vitro experiments drug stocks were diluted in base media and for in vivo experiments stocks were diluted in saline immediately prior to use. In vitro concentrations of Ara-C [1 μM], MTX [50 μM], VCR [25 μM], MG-132 [1-5 μM], Caffeine [2.5-10 mM], and 79-6 [125 μM] were used to approximate clinically relevant doses in ALL or published in vitro concentrations [27 (link), 57 (link)- 63 (link)].

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.
