Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All in vitro sensitivity and synergy experiments were performed on an extensively characterized panel of eight patient-derived KMT2A-rearranged infant ALL cell lines (PER cell lines) [13 (link), 14 (link)], two commercially available KMT2A-rearranged infant ALL cell lines (ALL-PO and KOPN-8), and cells from four KMT2A-rearranged infant ALL patient-derived xenografts (MLL-5, MLL-7, MLL-14, and LR-iALL2) [15 (link), 16 (link)]. Assessment of in vitro sensitivity to azacitidine, decitabine, zebularine (Selleck Chemicals) and venetoclax (Active Biochem) and their synergy with each of the nine conventional chemotherapy agents used to treat infants with ALL, and synergy of each of the hypomethylating agents with venetoclax was performed as previously described [13 (link)]. In vitro drug combination studies were analyzed using SynergyFinder 2.0 [17 (link)]. Western blots were performed to detect DNMT1 levels following incubation with azacitidine and decitabine. Apoptosis and necrosis assays were performed using the RealTime-Glo™ Annexin V Apoptosis and Necrosis kit (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Supplementary Methods).

Synthetic Lethal Validation via Combinatorial Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Gene pairs associated with a synthetic lethal phenotype in the library screen were validated using combinatorial viability screening of sgRNA perturbations with 5 small molecule inhibitors: navitoclax (ABT-263, Active Biochem A-1001), A1331852 (Active Biochem A-6048); venetoclax (ABT-199, Active Biochem A-1231); WEHI539 (MedChem Express, HY-15607A); and the MCL1 inhibitor S63845 (a gift from Guo Wei, Golub lab). Meljuso cells were transduced in 12-well plates, as described above, with lentivirus containing a single sgRNA targeting one of the anti-apoptotic genes (BCL2L1, BCL2L2, MCL1) or a control sgRNA either targeting CD81 or containing a run of 6 thymidines. Two days after transduction, cells were selected using puromycin at 1 μg/mL for five days. After puromycin selection, 3,000 cells were seeded into 96-well plates. Across each row of the 96-well plate, a different small molecule was added at 11 log2-dilutions ranging from 1 μM to approximately 1 nM in duplicate for each of the cell lines. The last well in the row did not receive small molecule. After 3 days in the presence of the small molecule, viability of the cell population was assayed by CellTiterGlo (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Venetoclax-Resistant Leukemia Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Riva WT and VR were grown in RPMI (Gibco/Invitrogen, Merelbeke, Belgium) supplemented with 2 mM glutamax, 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, 100 IU/mL penicillin and 100 µg/mL streptomycin (100× Pen/Strep, Gibco/Invitrogen, Merelbeke, Belgium) at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Resistance to Venetoclax was achieved by culturing Riva cells in increasing concentrations of Venetoclax over more than three months. This selection started with low nanomolar concentrations of Venetoclax (1–10 nM) and concentrations were stepwise increased up to 300 nM when more than 30% of cells survived the selection. Survival of cells was monitored using AnnexinV-FITC staining and flow cytometry twice a week. Venetoclax was purchased from Active Biochem (Kowloon, Hong Kong). Cells were seeded 24 h before being used in experiments at a density of 250,000/mL. BIRD-2 peptide (sequence: RKKRRQRRRGGNVYTEIKCNSLLPLAAIVRV) was purchased from LifeTein (South Plainfield, NJ, USA) with a purity of >85%. BDA-366 was purchased from BioVision (Milpitas, CA, USA). Both S63845 and A-1155463 were purchased from Selleckchem (Munich, Germany).

Cell viability assays were performed on Eµ-Myc lymphoma cell lines to assess sensitivity to BH3 mimetic drug treatment. Cells were plated into 96-well flat-bottom plates at a density of 3 × 104 cells per well and treated for 24 h with the MCL-1 inhibitor S63845 (Active Biochem, #A-6044) or the BCL-2 inhibitor venetoclax (Active Biochem, #A-1231) at the indicated concentrations. Cell viability was determined by staining with 1 µg/mL propidium iodide (PI, Sigma–Aldrich, #P4864) followed by flow cytometric analysis using the LSR-II Analyzer (BD Biosciences). Flow cytometry data were analysed using FlowJo v10 software (BD Biosciences).

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.
