Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell line xenograft experiments were performed in female C.B-17 SCID mice age 8 weeks by injecting 5 X 106 PC9-RR, PC9-OR tumor cells within 50% matrigel. Tumors were allowed to grow until they reached a minimum volume of 150 mm3 and mice were randomized to receive treatment by oral gavage seven days per week for 71 days. Rociletinib was formulated using 5% DMSO, 15% Solutol HS15 (Sigma Inc) in 80% water and osimertinib was formulated in 1% DMSO, 30% PEG300 and 69% water. MLN8237 was formulated using 10% (2-Hydroxypropyl)-β-cyclodextrin in water. Tumor growth was assessed twice weekly by caliper measurements. A minimum of 10 tumors per treatment group were assessed for the duration of the study. For PDX xenografts, patient derived tumor cells were engrafted subcutaneously into the flank C.B-17 SCID mice. Tumors were allowed to grow until they reached a minimum volume of 200 mm3 and then randomly placed into control or treatment groups. Animals were treated daily for 30 days via oral gavage and tumor volume was calculated daily using caliper measurement. Percentage change for tumor growth was based on volumes calculated from size on day 1 at the beginning of treatment. All animal studies were conducted in accordance with the UCSF Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and all relevant ethical regulations were followed.

Griseofulvin (Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared by dissolving 1 or 2 mg in 40 μl DMSO and then making up the volume to 200 μl with 10% solutol HS 15 (Sigma-Aldrich) in saline. The mixture was vortexed thoroughly for 10 min to form an emulsion and injected intraperitoneally into the mice. All single dose injections were carried out at 06:00 h and double dose injections were carried out at 06:00 h and 18:00 h for the respective days. Control mice were injected with the solvent. α,β-arteether (E MAL (75 mg/ml); Themis Medicare Ltd) was administered intramuscularly. For experiments involving the combination of α,β-arteether and Griseofulvin, α,β-arteether was administered intramuscularly at 06:00 h on day 6, followed by two doses of Griseofulvin at 24 h interval (at 09:00 h on day 6 and 7).

Tumor Growth Inhibition by Radiation and CCR2/CCR5 Antagonist

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A general tumor protocol was established where 1 x 105 tumor cells were injected intramuscularly in the left legs of female C57BL/6J or BALB/cJ mice. Mice were treated locally with radiotherapy (RT) 7 days after tumor cell injection using a 3200 Curie-sealed 137Cesium source that operates at roughly 1.90 Gy/min. Jigs were constructed and designed to specifically treat the tumor-bearing leg with 15 Gy radiation [2 (link)]. This source and the collimators used are calibrated periodically to ensure equal distribution of radiation. Standard calipers were used to measure tumor growth as described previously [53 (link)]. Tumor-bearing mice were administered 15 mg/kg of a CCR2/CCR5 antagonist (named CVC, Tobira Therapeutics, CA) [54 (link), 55 (link)] or vehicle control (40% Hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin [Acros Organics] & solutol HS15 [Sigma] in sterile water) subcutaneously (s.c.) 1X/day starting 2 days before RT for the indicated amount of time. CD8+ T cells were depleted by treating mice with 200 ug of anti-CD8 (clone 53-6.7) i.p. every 3 days beginning 4 days post-tumor inoculation. Rat IgG was used as a control in anti-CD8 experiments and did not affect tumor growth when compared to mice that did not receive rat IgG (data not shown).

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.
