Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human NB4 leukemia cells used in the experiments were purchased from SXBIO Biotech, Shanghai, China). NB4 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 (KeyGEN Biotech, Nanjing, China) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37 °C under a 5% CO2 atmosphere. After informed consent, the bone marrow of two primary APL patients was acquired from DrumTower Hospital (Nanjing, China). Human primary APL cells were separated from the bone marrow by traditional Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation.38 (link) The fresh primary APL cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 (KeyGEN Biotech) with 15% FBS at 37 °C under a 5% CO2 atmosphere. The viability of NB4 cells and primary APL cells were determined by the Trypan blue exclusion method.20 (link) After culturing for 24, 48, and 96 h, cells were collected and mixed with equal volume of PBS containing 0.4% Trypan blue dye. Cell viability was calculated as the number of viable cells divided by the total number of cells with the grids on the hemacytometer. The effects of Se4+ and As3+ on cell growth were measured with the WST-1 cell proliferation assay kit according to the manufacturer's protocols (KeyGEN Biotech).39 (link) The cells were seeded at 4 × 104 cells/ml in a 96-well culture plate and then exposed to various concentrations of As3+, Se4+, or their combination for 48 h. Untreated cells served as controls.

Evaluating Arsenic Compounds on Leukemia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human NB4 leukemia cells were purchased from SXBIO Biotech (Shanghai, China). Human primary APL cells were separated from the bone marrow of four primary APL patients acquired from DrumTower Hospital (Nanjing, China) by Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation as reported in the previously published article [28 (link)]. Written informed consent was obtained from individual subjects. For this case we did not seek approval of the Ethics Committee of Drum Tower Hospital and did not obtain a waiver from the Ethics Committee because the bone marrow was part of that acquired for clinical diagnosis and destroyed after this experiment. NB4 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 (KeyGEN Biotech, China) with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C under a 5% CO2 atmosphere. The fresh primary APL cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 with 15% FBS. Trypan blue exclusion was used to determine viability of NB4 and primary APL cells after 48 h and 96 h of culture [28 (link)]. The effects of As4S4 and As3+ on cell growth were determined using the WST-1 cell proliferation assay kit (KeyGEN Biotech, China). In brief, 4×104 cells/ml were seeded into a 96-well culture plate and treated with various concentrations of As4S4, As3+, or their combination for 48 h. Untreated cells served as controls [28 (link),29 (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.
