Oyster gonad tissues were minced to 1 mm3 and stored at -80°C prior to nuclei extraction. Following histological confirmation, the nuclei from male and female gonadal cells at stage Ⅰ were isolated and resuspended in 2 mL of phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.01% bovine serum albumin.

First, 5 × 105 cells (D17 and U2OS) per well were seeded in a 6-well plate. After 24 h of standard incubation, the media were removed, and the tested compounds were introduced to the cells at increasing concentrations: 5, 10, 20, and 50 μg/mL for Dox and Dox in Au-GSH-Dox and 100, 200, 400, and 1000 μg/mL for Au-GSH. No substances were added to the medium of the control group. The cells were incubated with the tested substances for 24 h, then harvested by trypsinization and centrifuged at 1800 rpm for 3 min. After this, 10 μL of the cell suspension was mixed with 10 μL of 0.4% Trypan Blue and cell counts were evaluated with a Countess II FL Automatic Cell Counter (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Dead cells were stained blue, and cell mortality was expressed as the percentage of dead cells (from the total cell number).

At 1–4 days after irradiation, the medium was removed, and the cells were washed with PBS (2.0 mL) three times. Cells were detached by incubating in trypsin–EDTA (0.20 mL) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 5 min, and then, the reaction was stopped by applying medium (0.20 mL). The cell suspension was pipetted thoroughly, and the viable cells were counted by 0.4% trypan blue (Thermo Fisher Scientific) staining using the Countess-II FL automatic cell counter (Thermo Fisher Scientific).

Isolation of Human PBMC Subsets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To prepare peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), diluted sodium heparinized whole blood, approx. 30-40 mL was layered on Ficoll-Paque Density Gradient Medium (ThermoFisher Scienti c) and centrifuged for 40 min at 400 x g with low acceleration and no brake. PBMCs were collected from the interphase and thereafter washed with PBS. The cells were then resuspended in PBS containing 2 mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), and 0,5% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were counted using a Countess II FL Automatic Cell Counter (ThermoFisher).
To isolate the T reg and T conv cell fractions, an EasySep Human CD4 + CD127 low CD25 + Regulatory T Cell Isolation Kit (STEMCELL Technologies) was used according to manufacturer´s instructions on PBMCs resulting in two cell fractions; T reg cells de ned as CD4 + CD127 low CD25 + and T conv cells de ned as CD4 + CD127 + CD25 -T cells.
Following isolation, all cells were resuspended in complete RPMI (Fisher Scienti c) cell medium with 10% FBS (Fisher Scienti c) and 2% Penicillin Streptomycin solution (Fisher Scienti c).

Amoebicidal Activity Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The amoebicidal activity experiments were carried out using an inverted light-microscope Leica DM IL (Wetzlar, Germany). Initially, the trophozoites were counted using a Countess II FL automatic cell counter (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madrid, Spain) to prepare a working concentration of 5.10 4 trophozoites/well and 10 5 cells/well, respectively, for Acanthamoeba spp. and Naegleria fowleri strains), and 50 µL per well was seeded in triplicate in a 96-well plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madrid, Spain).
After that, a serial dilution of CLORICAN in the same culture medium was added to the plate (50 µL per well). As a negative control, the trophozoites were incubated with the medium alone. Plates were incubated with slight agitation for 96 h at 26 • C for Acanthamoeba spp. and 48 h at 37 • C for Naegleria. Subsequently, the plates were observed during the incubation time with an inverted light-microscope (15 min, 1 h, 24 h, 48 h and 96 h). The numbers of viable and nonviable trophozoite were counted using a Countess II FL automatic cell counter (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madrid, Spain) at 96 h for Acanthamoeba spp. and 48 h for Naegleria fowleri using an inverted microscope and confirmed with trypan blue (0.4%) staining using the Countess II FL (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Madrid, Spain)

UM-HMC-3A cells were resuspended and counted using a Countess II FL automatic cell counter (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The combination of ALDHbright plus CD44high was used to identify mucoepidermoid carcinoma cancer stem cells as previously reported[27 (link)]. The Aldefluor kit (StemCell Technologies, Durham, NC, USA) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions to identify cells with high ALDH1 enzymatic activity. UM-HMC-3A cells were suspended with activated Aldefluor substrate (BODIPY amino acetate) or negative control (dimethylamino benzaldehyde, a specific ALDH inhibitor) for up to 45 minutes at 37°C. Then, cells were washed and suspended with anti-CD44/APC conjugated antibody (BD Biosciences, Mountain View, CA, USA) and incubated for 25 min in shaking rotor at 4°C. All samples were analyzed using a flow cytometer Accuri C6 (BD Biosciences, USA) equipped with two excitation lasers: a solid blue state (488 nm) and a diode red (640nm). All assays were performed in sextuplicate. All CSC flow cytometry experiments for the various drugs (Erlotinib, SAHA and CUDC-101) were performed concurrently.

Enzalutamide and APOBEC3B Inhibitor Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
10,000 LNCaP/AR cells, 20,000 CWR22Pc cells and MDA-PCa-2b cells stably expressing shRNA or Cas9/sgRNAs were seeded in each well of a 24-well plate, and either treated with enzalutamide (10 μM for LNCaP/AR, 1 μM for CWR22Pc, 5 μM for MDA-PCa-2b) or vehicle (DMSO). Countess II FL automatic cell counter (Invitrogen) was used to count the cell numbers and the relative cell proliferation was calculated by normalizing the cell numbers under enzalutamide treatment to cell numbers under vehicle condition. For APOBEC3B inhibitor assay, cells were treated Veh (DMSO), Enz (10 μM enzalutamide), or a combination of Enz and two A3B inhibitors (1 μM phloretin, 10 μM icariside I) for 6 days. Each cell line was seeded independently into three wells, then treated and counted independently, which represents biological triplicates. For all in vitro experiments described in this section, three biological triplicates were used and mean ± SEM were reported. The experiment was repeated twice and yielded similar conclusions. No technical replicates were used unless specifically noted in the figure legend. For blinding purpose, the cell numbers were automatically measured by Countess II FL automatic cell counter to ensure prior knowledge of the treatment groups had no impact on results. No data points were excluded.

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.
