Cell Treatment and Sample Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All cell treatments were done in standard 12-well plates. HCT-116 cells were seeded at 170k cells per well and K562, Mv4;11, MOLM-13 cells at a density of 250k cells per well. After 1 day, the cells were treated with compounds for the indicated period of time. The adherent cells were washed thrice with ice cold PBS after which they were scraped from the wells and centrifuged at 8.5k × g for 15 minutes at 4°C. The suspension cells were collected by centrifugation (12k × g for 5 minutes), and washed by resuspending them in cold PBS and collectinon by centrifugation (12k × g for 5 minutes) three times. The PBS was removed and the cell pellets were stored at −80°C and either used for LC/MS analysis or Western blotting.
The compounds ABT-751 (MedKoo Biosciences, Inc.), Nocodazole (MedChem Express), and GSK-923295 (MedChem Express) were purchased.
The cells for RNA extraction and qPCR were not washed but directly collected in 1 mL TRI Reagent (TR 118) and stored at −80°C.

Preparation of Inhibitor Stock Solutions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Inhibitors of CENPE (GSK923295), BCL-2/BCL-XL (navitoclax), and MPS-1 (BAY1217389) were obtained from MedChem Express (Shanghai, China) and were reconstituted in sterile dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich Co., Ltd., St. Louis, MO, USA) to a stock concentration of 5 or 10 mM. Several aliquots were prepared and stored at −20 °C to avoid repeated cycles of freezing and thawing and, consequently, the loss of compounds’ activity. For each independent experiment, a work solution was prepared in fresh culture medium to prepare the desired concentrations.

Xenopus and HeLaM Cell Experiments

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Xenopus experiments, STLC (Sigma-Aldrich; 50 mM stock in DMSO) was diluted to 1 mM in PBS and injected into the blastocoel of MO-treated embryos 21.5 h after fertilization (16°C). The needle volume was set to 18 nl, and each embryo was injected twice, into each side of the blastocoel. Control embryos were injected with the same volumes of DMSO diluted 1:50 in PBS. Embryos were incubated at RT for 2 h before fixation.
For HeLaM drug treatments, cells were transfected with scrambled or LIC1 and 2 siRNAs and incubated for 70–72 h. Drug treatments were performed in DMEM + 10% FCS at 37°C followed by fixation and immunofluorescence analysis. Eg5 was inhibited with 2 µM STLC for 2 h. CENP-E was inhibited with 100 nM GSK-923295 (10 mM stock in DMSO; Medchem Express; Wood et al., 2010 (link)) for 90 min.

Culture media for hTERT-RPE1 RodΔ/Δ were additionally supplemented with 1-mM sodium pyruvate (Gibco). Ampho-293 cells (human embryonic kidney, female) were grown in DMEM with 10% FBS and penicillin/streptomycin (Sigma). hTERT RPE1 cells expressing TetON Sh-PRC1 cells were cultured in DMEM with tetracycline-free FSB (Gibco). CenpE was inhibited by 20-nM GSK-923295 (MedChemExpress) added to the growth medium 0.5–2.5 h prior to initiation of live cell recordings of fixation.

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.
