Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma cell lines Panc‐1 and MiaPaCa‐2 were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Chicago, IL) and cultured in a complete growth medium. The cultured cells were maintained in a 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C. The Panc‐1 and MiaPaCa‐2 cell lines were authenticated by checking their gene expressions and were tested for the absence of mycoplasma contamination.
For the pancreatic cancer cell sphere culture, MiaPaCa‐2 cells in RPMI 1640 medium with 0.25% Matrigel were plated into a prepared 96‐well plate with 2% agarose in RPMI 1640 medium (5 cells per well) and cultured for 7‐14 days.
All animal experiments were conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Animal Care and Ethics Committee of Northeast Forestry University. Male immune‐deficient (NPG) mice (4 weeks old) were received from the Beijing Vitalstar Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Beijing, China) and fed in a sterile environment with food and water ad libitum. For xenografts, 2 million cells suspended in 100 μL of PBS were subcutaneously injected into the lower flank of the NPG mice. The cell‐transplanted mice received TM (500 μmol/L; 323446 Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) or chloroquine diphosphate salt (CQ; 100 μmol/L; C6628 Sigma) individual treatments, or TM (500 μmol/L) combined with CQ (100 μmol/L).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Chloroquine (C), an anti-inflammatory substance, is the most commonly used autophagy completion inhibitory drug to ascertain autophagic flux because of its suitability in vivo [31 (link)]. HT29 cells were treated with chloroquine (10 μM; C6628 Sigma-Aldrich, Budapest, Hungary; diluted in DMSO) for 1 h before treatments with DNA. All treatments were performed in triplicate. Between plates, two samples received the same treatment to avoid possible manual errors in the treatments between plates.
The treatment plan for HT29 cells is shown in Table 1.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neuronal cultures were maintained until DIV 21. At DIV21-22, neurons were treated with Mock/MDMs or HIV/MDMs. Cells were treated with the same supernatants from the same donor (ND527) unless otherwise stated. For experiments with different sets from different donors, we titrated every supernatant set to 50% neurotoxicity to ensure that we were eliciting the same toxic insult. To mimic excitotoxicity, cells were treated with NMDA (Tocris, Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom, 0114) or vehicle (H2O). The dilutions used for each set of HIV/MDM supernatants was determined by titrating to 50% neurotoxicity as quantified by immunohistochemistry for MAP2. Chloroquine (CQN; 1 or 2 μM; C6628, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or vehicle (DMSO; 276855, Millipore Sigma, Burlington, MA, USA) treatment was performed 4 h prior to treatment with Mock/MDMs, HIV/MDMs, or NMDA (5, 10, 15 and 20 μM). Treatment with MG132 (1 or 5 μM; 10012628, Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA), MK-801 (1 μM; 0924, Tocris Bioscience, Bristol, United Kingdom) and their respective vehicles (DMSO and H2O) was performed 1 h prior to treatment.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cockroach allergen–induced asthma mouse model was established with the protocol as illustrated in Figure 1A. Briefly, mice were sensitized by intra-tracheal (i.t.) inhalation of 20 µg of cockroach extract (CRE, B46, GREER Laboratories) per mouse in 50 μl of Phosphate-Buffered Saline (PBS) under light anesthesia with isoflurane and challenged with the same amount of CRE. Control mice were treated with PBS. Mice were sacrificed, and samples [lung tissues, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and blood] were collected on the next day after the last allergen challenge (30 (link)). In particular, BALF was harvested by two consecutive flushes of the lung with 1.0 ml of ice-cold PBS. Blood was taken to screen for serum antibodies against cockroach allergen. In some cases, mice were pre-treated with autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CLQ; C6628, 60 mg/kg, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) or saline vehicle control by intraperitoneal administration 1 h before every single allergen challenge.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three drugs, 3-methyladenine (3-MA) (M9281, Sigma), chloroquine (CQ) (C6628, Sigma) and rapamycin (Rapa) (S1842, Beyotime), were used in this experiment to explore the effects of autophagy on the replication of BTV. The cytotoxicity of these drugs at optimal concentrations (10 mM 3-MA; 20 μM CQ; 100 nM Rapa) was tested using a WST-1 cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay kit (C0035, Beyotime) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Next, BSR cells were pretreated with optimal concentrations of Rapa, 3-MA for 2-4 h and were not pretreated with CQ prior to BTV infection. Subsequently, the cells were infected with BTV1 as above and further incubated in fresh media in the absence or presence of these drugs at the same concentrations as for the pretreatments. Corresponding DMSO or ddH2O were used as vehicle controls. At the indicated times, the virus from the supernatants and cells were collected and the viral protein expression were detected as above.

SW620 cells stably transfected with SOX2 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) or negative shRNA (5 × 106 cells in 0.1 mL PBS) were subcutaneously injected into the right dorsal flanks of 4-week-old female Balb/c nude mice (n = 3/group), respectively. Twenty-two days later, mice bearing tumors were administered intraperitoneal injection of PBS, Chloroquine (Sigma-Aldrich, C6628, CQ, 20 mg/kg), irinotecan (Sigma-Aldrich, I1406, 20 mg/kg), or combination of irinotecan and CQ every 3 days. Tumor size was measured with a digital caliper every 3 days. Tumor volume was calculated from digital caliper measurements of tumor dimensions in mm using the formula for a prolate ellipsoid: (L × W2)/2, where L is the longer of the 2 measurements. At the endpoint, tumors were harvested and weighed. The excised tissues were either fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin or snap frozen in liquid nitrogen. Tumor sections from paraffin-embedded blocks were used for histologic examination. All animal experiments were conducted as per the protocol approved by the Animal Care and Use Committee of the Southern Medical University.
