Cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 medium (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were tested for mycoplasma and Short Tandem Repeats were characterized for authentication. One SS cell-line was used (SYO-1) [21 (link)]. Three LMS cell lines were included (JA192, LMS04 and LMS05). Quisinostat (Selleckchem) and trichostatin A (Selleckchem) were used for HDAC inhibition. Both compounds were dissolved in DMSO. Cells were seeded in triplicates on a 96-well plate and compounds were added after 24 hours. Cell viability was measured after 72 hours incubation with the compounds by adding PrestoBlue Cell Viability Reagent (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturers protocol. Fluorescence was measured reading the plate at 590 nm on a fluorometer (Victor3V, 1420 multi-label counter). Viability was determined in three independent experiments in triplicate.

Renal Fibrosis Induction Models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal experiments were review and approved by the Intramural Committee on Ethical Conduct of Animal Experiments. To induce renal fibrosis, the unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) procedure was performed in the mice. Briefly, a flank incision was made and the left ureter was ligated with silk suture at two points and cut between the ligatures. After the surgery, the animals were injected peritoneally with quisinostat (100 mg/kg, Selleck, Cat# S1096) or vehicle twice a week until the day of sacrifice. The mice were sacrificed 14 days after the surgery. Alternatively, the mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD, D12492, Research Diets) for 16 weeks as previously described (Xu et al., 2015 (link)). In the third model of renal fibrosis, the mice were implanted subcutaneously a minipump (Alzet 2004) that chronically released Ang II (1 μg/kg/min) for 4 weeks.

Synergistic Anti-cancer Combination Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded in triplicate, in 96-well format and incubated for 72 hours. Cell survival was determined via the CellTitre-Blue Cell Viability assay (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA); the fluorescence was measured in a microplate reader (Victor, Perkin Elmer, San Jose, CA, USA). Synergism between Flavopiridol and Quisinostat was calculated using Compusyn software (Paramus, NJ, USA). Combination Index (CI) values below 0.9 were considered to be synergistic, between 0.9 and 1.1 additive effects and above 1.1 to be antagonistic. Flavopiridol was obtained from Selleck Chemicals (Houston, TX, USA) and Quisinostat was kindly provided by Johnson & Johnson.

Evaluating Base Editing Efficiency

To measure the base editing efficiency at endogenous sites, 1.6 × 105 HEK293T/17 cells or 8 × 104 HeLa cells were seeded in wells of 24-well plates one day before transfection. When confluency was 70%–80%, the cells were transfected with plasmids encoding BEs (ABE7.10, BE3, ABEmax and BE4max; 1.5 μg) or Cas9 (0.5 μg) and a plasmid encoding gRNA (500 ng) using Lipofectamine 2000 (3 μl for BEs and 2 μl for Cas9) as previously described (19 (link)). For the delivery of ribonucleoprotein (RNP), 10 μg of Cas9 or ABE7.10 proteins and 6 μg of synthetic gRNA (Integrated DNA Technologies) were incubated at 25°C to form the RNP complex. The RNP complex and HEK293T/17 cells (1.5 × 106) were resuspended in Neon electroporation R buffer and delivered using the Neon transfection system (Thermo Fisher Scientific) in two 20-ms pulses of 1300 V according to the manufacturer's protocol. Then, 5–10 nM of romidepsin (Selleckchem), abexinostat (Selleckchem), quisinostat (Selleckchem), 100 nM of trichostatin A (TSA, Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.5 μM of vorinostat (Sigma-Aldrich) were applied 6 h after plasmid DNA transfection or 1 h after RNP delivery at designated concentrations. gDNA was extracted 72 h after transfection using the DNeasy Blood and Tissue kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The base editing efficiency was determined as described in the next subsection.

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.
