Three different breast cancer cell lines were included in this study to represent a variety of phenotypes: MDA-MB-231 (triple-negative, but expected to express EGFR; ATCC® HTB-26™), MDA-MB-468 (triple-negative, but over-expresses EGFR; ATCC® HTB-132™), and AU565 (over-expresses HER2, and expected to express EGFR; ATCC® CRL-2351™). All cell lines were incubated for the duration of experiments in 37 °C and 5% CO2 level. Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium low glucose (DMEM), containing L-glutamine, sodium pyruvate, and glucose was used for MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells. RPMI 1640 medium was used for AU565. All media were supplemented with 10% (v/v) fetal bovine serum, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. Cells were sub-cultured after reaching > 80% confluency and were discarded after ~40 passages.

Cytotoxicity assays were performed as previously described in Rodriguez et al.22 (link) Briefly, breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-468 (ATCC® HTB-132™) cells or young fibroblast primary cells (100 μL; 1 × 104 cells per well) were seeded in 96-well flat-bottom tissue culture treated plates and were incubated at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere for 14 h, allowing for cell adhesion. Then the media was removed and 50 μL of supplemented RPMI medium (10%) and 50 μL of peptide (200, 100, 50, 25, 12.5 and 6.25 μg mL−1) were added, and the final FBS concentration was 5%. The plates were incubated for 2, 24, and 48 h at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere (physiologic pH), and cell viability was determined using the MTT assay. For this, 10 μL of MTT solution (5 mg mL−1) was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 4 h at 37 °C. Formazan crystals were dissolved in DMSO (100 μL), and the absorbance (570 nm) was measured using a Bio-Rad 680 microplate reader (n = 3).

P0-expressing RT4 D6P2T myelinating Schwannoma cells (ATCC® CRL-2768™; [35 (link)]) and non-P0-expressing MDAMB 468 human breast cancer cells (ATCC® HTB-132™) were grown in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (Life Technologies, UK) containing penicillin, streptomycin and foetal calf serum (All BD Biosciences) at 37 °C and 5% CO2.
In line with their use by Whitney et al. [27 (link)], transgenic B6.Cg-Tg(Thy1-YFP)-16Jrs/J (THY-1 YFP) mice were obtained from JAX (the Jackson Laboratory) and were used for ex vivo and in vivo nerve staining and in vivo biodistribution studies (8–15 weeks old). THY-1 YFP mice express spectral variants of GFP (yellow fluorescent protein—YFP; ex 488, em 520) at high levels in motor and sensory neurons. The fluorescent signal in the nerves was used as an internal control for the staining (pattern) of the developed imaging agents. Balb/c nude mice were used as non-fluorescent control.

MDA-468 cells (ATCC® HTB-132™) were stably transfected with a luciferase reporter of the canonical Wnt signaling (Addgene, #24308). MDA-468-luciferase cells were plated in 96 well plate (5000 cells/well) in DMEM medium plus 10% FBS for 24 hours. Then, 150 μL fresh DMEM plus 10% FBS and 50 μL L-Wnt-3a-cell-conditioned medium were added and incubated for another 18 hours. The medium was then removed, and cells were washed with PBS once before 200 μL cell lysis buffer was added and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature. 50 μL cell lysates, 50 μL luciferase substrate A and 50 μL luciferase substrate B from the luciferase assay kit were mixed and the light signals were immediately read with a luminometer. The light intensity was calibrated to a standard curve to calculate the amount of Wnt3A proteins.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human breast carcinoma cell MDA-MB-468 (obtained from the ATCC: ATCC® HTB-132™) were seeded in a 96-well plate (6.4 × 103 cell/well) and incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 overnight to allow cell attachment to the well. Cells were treated with 800 ug/mL of endotoxin-free SPEA superantigen, 200 ug/mL SPEA-based peptides, or tumor-targeted superantigen-based peptides. Then, 3.2 × 104 PBMCs were added to wells with tumor cells and SAg derivatives, and incubated for 48 h at 37 °C incubator with 5% CO2. The cell lysate was removed and used for cytokine assessment. Cells were fixed with 3.8% Formaldehyde solution for 10 min and then stained with DAPI. The number of viable tumor cells was measured by ArrayScan™ XTI (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) where an automated quantitation of DAPI positive nuclei was performed using the target activation module, and the apoptotic nuclei were distinguished and excluded by their collapsed size, higher chromatin intensities, and nuclear fragmentation [84 (link)]. The PBMCs were also excluded by size. Cell count is presented as a percentage of tumor + PBMCs (TP) will count.

Characterization of Breast Cancer Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A panel of human breast cancer cell lines were selected for this study to represent a variety of characteristics and receptor expression profiles: (i) MDA-MB-231 (MDA231; triple negative, but expected to express EGFR; ATCC ® HTB-26™); (ii) MDA-MB-231, KRas-CRM (MDA231K; same as MDA-MB-231, certified for KRas mutation; ATCC ® CRM-HTB-26™);
(iii) MDA-MB-468 (MDA468; triple negative, but over-expresses EGFR; ATCC ® HTB-132™);
(iv) AU565 (over-expresses HER2, and expected to express EGFR; ATCC ® CRL-2351™); (v) MCF7 (estrogen and progesterone-positive, and expected to express HER2 and EGFR; ATCC ® HTB-22™), and; (vi) MDA-MB-435 (MDA-435): Long known as an estrogen-independent breast cancer cell line expressing HER-2 [25, 26] . MDA-435 cells have been source of controversy since it bears both epithelial and melanocytic markers [27, 28] . All cell lines except AU565 were cultured in DMEM low glucose medium, while AU565 was cultured in RPMI-1640 (both mediums supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin). All cell lines were maintained at 37C and 5% CO 2 and were sub-cultured after reaching 80-90% confluency. Cells were discarded after 40 passages, and frozen cells (stored in liquid nitrogen) were thawed as replacement.
