The BT474 cell line was maintained in Dulbecco modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. The SKBR3 cell line was maintained RPMI1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. All cell lines were cultured in humidified incubation at 37 °C with 5% CO2. Lapatinib was purchased from Santa Cruz (Dallas, TX, USA), and 17DMAG-HCL was purchased from Selleck Chemicals (Houston, TX, USA). Stock solutions were prepared with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and stored at −20 °C. Lapatinib and 17DMAG for animal experiments were purchased from LC laboratories. Lapatinib was dissolved in water with 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose, 1.8% sodium chloride, and 0.4% Tween 80. 17 DAMG was dissolved in water with 0.8% NaCl.

Targeting HSP90 in Immunized and Transplanted Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
17-AAG (LC laboratories A-6880) dissolved in DMSO and 17-DMAG (LC laboratories D-3440) dissolved in water were aliquoted and stored at −20°C. Mice were administered 17-DMAG in 0.2 mL of water (or water control) by gavage using a 22G feeding needle. Immunized mice were treated with 20 mg/kg, from day 3 post-immunization daily, until sacrificed (day 11 p.i.) for measuring antibody responses. Transplanted NRG mice were treated from day 5 post-transplantation with 20 mg/kg for 20 days, monitored daily until reaching an endpoint. Human cells were treated as indicated in Results.

Culture conditions and the cell lines have been previously described [12] (link). The B16-BL6 murine melanoma cell line was provided by Dr. Andrew Hurwitz [24] (link). Human cell lines were obtained from the ATCC, (Manassas, VA) (including MALME-M3, MM96L, A375, 453A, MM455, Roth, H59-44T, Mel-Juso, JURKAT), or from a patient at the Massashusetts General Hospital (MU89 and MU-X (derived from MU89 as previously described [6] (link), [11] (link)). Construction and culture of the J.RT3-T3.5 cell line expressing a Melan-A/MART-1 specific TCR has been described [15] (link). IFN-β-1a (Avonex) was obtained from Biogen-Idec (Cambridge, MA). The iHsp90s were obtained from the following sources: Radicicol (A.G. Scientific, San Diego, CA); Novobiocin (BioMol, Plymouth Meeting, PA); 17-DMAG (LC laboratories, Woburn, MA); 17-AEP (InVivoGen, San Diego, CA); Rifabutin, PU-H71, and 17-AAG (Sigma, St. Louis, MO); Gedunin, CCT018159, and celastrol (Tocris, Ellisville, MO); and NVP-AUY922 and BIIB021 (Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX).

Cytotoxicity Screening of Antileishmanial Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Axenic L. amazonensis promastigotes in logarithmic phase were distributed on 96-well plates (4 × 105 parasites/well) in Schneider’s complete medium and treated with GA (Invivogen, San Diego, CA, USA), 17-AAG (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA, USA) or 17-DMAG (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA, USA) in 12-step serial dilutions (1:2) at an initial concentration of 2 μM. After 72 h of treatment at 24 °C, parasites were incubated with 10% Alamar Blue® (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 1 h30 min. Optical density (OD) was then read at the wavelengths of 570 and 600 nm in a spectrophotometer (SPECTRA Max 340 PC) to determine cell viability, expressed in percentage terms, used to calculate the IC50 values. These were determined by applying sigmoidal regression to the concentration-response curves using GraphPad Prism v5.030 (link) from at least three independent experiments performed in triplicates.

MDA-MB-231 was purchased from The Bioresource Collection and Research Center in Taiwan (Hsinchu, Taiwan) and was maintained in DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). AS-B244 was obtained from Alice L. Yu in Institute of Stem Cell and Translational Cancer Research, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital at Linkou and Chang Gung University (Taoyuan, Taiwan) and was maintained in MEMα medium containing 10% FBS and 5 µg/mL insulin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). 17-DMAG was purchased from LC Laboratories (Woburn, MA, USA) and dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a stock of 50 mM.

Bleomycin-Induced Lung Fibrosis Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult male 12-week-old C57BL/6 mice (20-25 g body weight) were obtained from Charles River Laboratories (Sulzfeld, Germany). Both the university animal care committee and the Federal Authorities for Animal Research of the Regierungspraesidium Giessen (Hessen, Germany) approved the study protocol (GI20/10, 59/2012). Mice were given bleomycin (3.5 units•kg -1 in saline; Sigma-Aldrich, Munich, Germany) or saline alone via orotracheal instillation. From day 7 to day 21, mice received 17-DMAG (17dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin; LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA, USA) 10 mg•kg -1 or 25 mg•kg -1 in saline or saline alone via oral gavage every 2 days.
On day 21, mice were scanned using micro-computed tomography (SkyScan, Kontich, Belgium) followed immediately by fluorescence molecular tomography (FMT; VisEn Medical, Bedford, MA, USA) to assess matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity. In addition, physiological measurements were performed on day 21 using the FlexiVent system (SCIREQ, Montreal, Canada), bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected and lungs were fixed for histology or snap-frozen after euthanisation.

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.
