SMOWT was purchased from Sino Biological (https://www.sinobiological.com/) and SmoM2 (W535L)‐pcw107‐V5 plasmids were purchased from Addgene (http://www.addgene.org/). The SMO expression frame was subcloned into pCDH‐CMV‐MCS‐FE1a‐Puro vector (System Biosciences) with a Flag‐tag at the C‐terminal of SMO. The constructed plasmids were used to package lentivirus in 293T cells according to Kutner's protocol.34 Anti‐Flag antibody (#F3165) and anti‐β‐actin antibody (#A5441) were from Sigma Aldrich. MTT kit (#C0009S) was purchased from Beyotime (https://beyotime.com/). SAG (SMO agonist) (#S7779) (0.1 µM), GDC‐0449 (#S1082) (1 µM), NVP‐LDE225 (#S2151) (1 µM), CX4945 (#S0707), and MK2206 (#S1078) were purchased from Selleck (https://www.selleck.cn/).

Tumor Cell Proliferation Assays

To measure effects of inhibitors in combination with radiation, tumor cells were plated in 96-well plates at a density of 0.2 × 106 cells per well and cultured in the presence of DMSO, 50 nM YM155, or 10 ug/ml S12. After 24hrs, cells were subjected to 0, 0.25, or 0.5 Gy radiation using a Gammacell 40 Exactor (Low-dose cesium 137 irradiator, Best Theratronics Ltd., Ottawa, Ontario, Canada). Cells were cultured for an additional 24 hr, and [methyl-3H]thymidine assays were performed as described above.
To measure effects of inhibitors in combination with the SHH antagonist NVP-LDE225 (Selleck Chemicals, S2151), tumor cells were plated in 96 well plates at 0.2 × 106 cells/well and cultured with increasing doses of LDE225 or a single dose of Survivin antagonist (10μg/ml S12, 20nM YM255) alone or in combination with LDE225 as indicated. Cells were cultured for 48hrs and [methyl-3H]thymidine assays were performed as described above.

Antibody Specifications and Peptide Details for Methylated Gli1 Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The antibodies used in this study were Gli1 (#3538, Cell Signaling Technology, for western blotting and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, and#sc-20687, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, for immunohistochemistry), actin (#A2066, Sigma-Aldrich), Flag (#F3165, Sigma-Aldrich), Flag M2 magnetic beads (#M8823, Sigma-Aldrich), PRMT1 (#2449, Cell Signaling Technology), and tubulin (#T5168, Sigma-Aldrich). GDC-0449, NVP-LDE225, and RAD-001 were purchased from Selleck Chemicals LLC, GANT58 and GANT61 from Tocris Bioscience, and AMI-1 from Sigma-Aldrich. The SYBR Green real-time PCR kit was obtained from Bio-Rad and TGF-β from Peprotech (#100-21). The antibody against R597-methylated Gli1 was developed using the following synthetic peptide with asymmetric dimethylation at R597 as antigen: RARYASA-[R597(aMe2)]-GGGTS (C-terminal amidation and N-terminal KLH conjugation). Other peptides used in the study included the following:

Cold Gli1 peptide without R597 methylation [Gli1-R597]: RARYASA-[R597]-GGGTS;

Hot Gli1 peptide with R597 monomethylation [Gli1-R597(Me)]: RARYASA-[R597(Me)] -GGGTS;

Hot Gli1 peptide with R597 asymmetric dimethylation [Gli1-R597(aMe2)]: RARYASA-[R597(aMe2)]-GGGTS;

Hot Gli1 peptide with R597 symmetric dimethylation [Gli1-R597(sMe2)]: RARYASA-[R597(sMe2)]-GGGTS.

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.
