Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To gauge the effects of small-molecule inhibitors and calcium channel blockers on proliferation of the cells, a 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay kit (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was performed as surrogate. In our study, MEK inhibitor trametinib, AKT inhibitors capivasertib and MK-2206, and STAT3 inhibitor niclosamide (all from Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, USA) were employed. DMSO was used as a solvent. Additionally, the effects of MgCl2, NiCl2, and verapamil (Tocris bioscience, Bristol, UK; all dissolved in DMEM/F12) were investigated. The cells (5 × 103/well) were seeded in 96-well half-area microplates at equal densities and allowed to adhere overnight in a complete culture medium. On the following day, the culture medium was replaced by a medium supplemented with inhibitors, MgCl2 or NiCl2 at the indicated doses. After an incubation period of 32 h, BrdU was added at a final concentration of 10 µM into the culture media. Another 16 h later, labeling was stopped, and BrdU uptake was measured according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cells were seeded at 1000 cells/well in round‐bottomed ultra‐low attachment (ULA) 96‐well‐plates (VWR, #4441020) in 200 μL of the appropriate medium and grown in a CO2‐incubator at 37°C. Medium was changed every 2‐3 days. Images were acquired on the indicated days with an Olympus IX83 microscope, using a SP 10× objective and CellSens Dimension software. Spheroid area was determined in ImageJ software using freehand selection to mark spheroid outline, followed by area quantification in ImageJ. Necrotic core quantification (in three independent biological replicates) was performed using ImageJ software. Bright field images were analyzed using a macros function where images were converted to 8‐bit format, adjusted to Threshold (0.50) to define the necrotic core in each spheroid. Area in pixels2 was measured using “Analyze Particles” function with size of particles bigger than 2000 pixels2, and converted to mm2. In each experiment 4‐6 biological replicates were used. Where indicated, media were supplemented with SB 431542 (#1614, Tocris Bioscience), human TGFβ1 (#100‐21‐2UG, PeproTech), Capivasertib (AZD5363, #S8019, Selleckchem), or MK‐2206 (#S1078, Selleckchem).

To gauge the effects of the EGF receptor antagonist afatinib and pan-AKT inhibitor capivasertib (both from Selleck Chemicals, Houston, TX, USA) on DNA synthesis, a 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay kit (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was employed. For this purpose, the cells (HROG cells: 1 × 103/well; metastases cells: 3 × 103/well) were seeded in 96-well half area microplates at equal densities and allowed to adhere overnight in complete culture medium. On the following day, the culture medium was substituted with a medium supplemented with small molecule inhibitors (afatinib or capivasertib) at the indicated doses. After an incubation period of 32 h, BrdU labeling was initiated by adding labeling solution at a final concentration of 10 µM. Another 16 h later, labeling was stopped, and BrdU uptake was measured according to the manufacturer’s instructions using a GloMax-Multi Detection System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA).

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.
