Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The human prostate epithelial cell line RWPE-1 was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC Number CRL-11609). RWPE-1 cells were maintained in keratinocyte serum-free medium (KSFM; GIBCO Laboratories, Grand Island, NY) supplemented with 50 mg/L bovine pituitary extract, 5% l-glutamine and 5 μg/L EGF. RWPE-1 cells were maintained in a humidified incubator (5% CO2) at 37°C.
Cells were treated with various concentrations of CTRP3 as indicated and analyzed as described below. In the control experiments, 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) containing 0.1% gelatin and 40% glycerol was added to the culture.
To detect the effects of a PKC inhibitor, staurosporine (Santa Cruz, CA, USA), on CTRP3-induced proliferation, anti-apoptosis and change of cell cycle, RWPE-1 cells were pretreated with 0.25μmol/L of staurosporine before and during the stimulation with 10 μg/mL CTRP3.

HeLa cells (1 × 104 cells) were seeded on 96-well plates and incubated for 1 day before exposure (24 h) to the indicated concentrations of staurosporine and actinomycin D (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). PARP inhibitor and caspase inhibitor were added for 30 min before staurosporine and actinomycin D exposure. Cell numbers were determined using cell counting reagent SF (Nacalai Tesque) according to the manufacturer's instructions, by measuring absorbance at 450 nm (SpectraMax M5 Microplate Reader; Molecular devices).

Photoencapsulation of Spheroids and Fibers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spheroids were harvested and centrifuged to remove residual single cells. Spheroids (6,000 spheroids mL−1) and fiber segments (variable density) were simultaneously photoencapsulated in GelMA. Studies were cultured in complete MCF10A media for 2 or 4 days, replenishing media every other day. For matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibition studies, gels were cultured in complete MCF10A media containing marimastat (50 mM). For EMT studies, gels were cultured in complete MCF10A media containing rhTGF-β1 (Invitrogen). For apoptosis studies, gels were cultured in complete MCF10A media containing staurosporine (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and left on a rocker plate at 0.33 Hz for 6 hrs to enhance diffusive transport.

Apoptosis Signaling in Human Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unless stated otherwise, standard laboratory procedures were used for manipulating DNA, RNA, oligonucleotides and proteins (32 ). Oligonucleotides listed in Supplementary Data were synthesized by Eurofins MWG. Human HeLa, HEK293, MRC5 and fibroblast cells and mouse NIH 3T3 cells were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum (Invitrogen). Apoptosis was induced by treatment of HeLa cells with 1 μM staurosporine (Sigma) for 4 h and caspase activity was inhibited with 60 μM of z-DEVD-FMK (Santa Cruz) added 1 h before staurosporine administration. Expression plasmids (jetPRIME, Ozyme), siRNAs and in vitro transcribed mt tRNAs (Lipofectamine 2000, Invitrogen) were transfected into HeLa cells by using the indicated transfection reagents as recommended by the suppliers.

Apoptosis Induction and Detection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells were treated with DMSO or idasanutlin for 48 h, or with Staurosporine (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), a well-known inducer of apoptosis, for 16 h. Following this treatment, the cells were trypsinized and collected together with growth media and PBS, which was used for washes, to avoid any loss of detached apoptotic cells. The cells were centrifuged, washed with PBS, centrifuged again, suspended with annexin-binding buffer (BioLegend) and stained with 5 µg/mL of FITC-conjugated annexin V (BioLegend) and 2.5 µg/mL 7-Aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD, BioLegend) for 15 min at room temperature. The samples were analyzed using BD FACSVerse flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson) with appropriate color compensation.

Quantification of Cell Damage and Survival

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We evaluated cell damage and cell survival 48 h after the infection of SeV vectors. For quantification of cell damage, we collected the supernatant and measured the signal counts of adenylate kinase (ToxiLight bioassay kit; Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) that originated from damaged cells. For quantification of cell survival, we used the commercially available WST‐8 kit (Cell Counting Reagents; Nacalai tesque) and measured the absorbance at 450 nm. We used the condition of 48‐hour incubation with 1 μM staurosporine (SantaCruz Biotechnology) and 1‐h incubation with 1% Triton‐X (Nacalai tesque).

Cell Cycle and Death Analysis of Transfected K1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
K1 cells were transfected as described above. For cell cycle experiments, 6 hours after transfection, cells were synchronized by serum starvation (1%FBS, DMEM: F12 for 12h) and then stimulated (10% FBS, DMEM: F12 for 6 hr), fixed and permeabilized. The fraction of cells in each phase of cell cycle (G1, S, and G2/M) was determined by DNA content analysis using propidium iodide staining (PI—50μg/mL) followed by flow cytometry. For cell death analysis, 24 hours after transfection cells were incubated in fresh medium for two additional hours in the absence or presence of staurosporine (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) at selected final concentrations (5nM and 50nM). Stages of cell death were determined by flow cytometry, based on the combined cell staining with PI (2μg/mL) (Sigma, USA) and Annexin V (0.75μg/mL) (BioLegend, San Diego, CA; USA). Acquisition parameters were defined with the software BD Cell Quest; cells were acquired in the flow cytometer (FACScalibur–Becton Dickinson); acquired data was analysed using FlowJo (Tree Star Inc, USA) software.

Isolation and culture of primary murine keratinocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary keratinocytes were isolated from newborn pups expressing Keratin 5 promoter-driven Cre recombinase and Ptch1flox/flox alleles, using standard techniques and as previously described (Peterson et al., 2015 (link)). Cells were grown in complete Cnt-57 keratinocyte media for 3–4 days at 37° C/5% CO2, then either maintained in complete media or switched to basal starve media (CnT-BM1.500) for an additional 2 days to induce Hh activation. Subsequently, cells were treated with either 2 µg/mL vismo for 2 days or 1 µM staurosporine (Santa Cruz) for 4.5 hours, both diluted into starve media. ASZ cells (Aszterbaum et al., 1999 (link)) were cultured in 154-CF media with 4% fetal bovine serum (6.7 parts chelexed:1 part unchelexed). These cells were starved in 154-CF media lacking serum, and treated with vismo or staurosporine, similar to primary keratinocytes. Sex of cells was not determined, as this is not a known determining factor for Hh signaling in vitro. ASZ cells were authenticated based on epithelial morphology and robust Hh pathway activity upon serum starvation, as previously reported (Aszterbaum et al., 1999 (link)).

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.
