HCT116 (p53−/−) and HCT116 (p21−/−) cells were grown in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (Sigma−Aldrich, Munich, German) supplemented with sodium pyruvate and 4500 mg/L glucose. Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) 1640 with 25 mm N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES) and L-glutamine was used as a medium for HCT116 (p53+/+) human colon cancer cells. One percent penicillin-streptomycin (100 U/mL) and 10% heat-inactivated foetal bovine serum (FBS) were added to all cell media. All culture cells were grown in a humidified atmosphere of 5% carbon dioxide and 95% air.
A stock of 10 mg GT (Sigma-Aldrich) was dissolved in 50 µL 70% ice-cold ethanol and, depending on the cell type, 950 µL either Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium or RPMI. The cells were treated with different drug concentrations (0–60 µg/mL). Depending on the experiment done, the 3 cell lines were plated in 100 mm, 60 mm, 6-well, or 96-well plates at a plating density of 105 for senescence and proliferation analyses or 1.2  × 105 cells/mL for proteins. At 50% confluency, the cells were treated and incubated with GT for 6, 15, 24, 48, or 72 hours. The HCT116 p53 null cells were kindly provided by Dr Carlos Galmarini, MD, PhD (INSERM, Lyon, France) and the HCT116 p53+/+ and p21−/- were provided by Dr Regine Schneider-Stock, PhD (Erlangen, Germany).

Cells were transfected in 60 mm tissue culture plates for 24 hours. Harvested cells were counted on the Z2 Coulter Counter Analyzer (Beckman Coulter). Cells were then resuspended in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (Sigma-Aldrich) without serum. The resuspended cells were then pipetted into a Corning BioCoat Matrigel Invasion Chamber (ThermoFisher), 8 μm pore size, in 24-well tissue culture-grade plates. Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (Sigma-Aldrich) supplemented with 10% FBS (Atlas Biologicals) was placed in the well of the plate as a chemo-attractant. After 24 hours, non-invading cells were removed using a cotton-tipped swab. Invasive cells, embedded into the Matrigel, was fixed using 70% ethanol then stained with a 0.5% crystal violet solution. Microscopy was performed with the Evos XL Cell Imaging System (ThermoFisher). Cells were counted in five fields of view at 10× magnification and then averaged as cells per 10× field.

Viral particles were collected in tissue culture medium that was centrifugated at 2000×g for 20 min at 4 °C to remove cell debris. Tissue culture infectious units (TCID)/ml of HIV were determined by titration using TZM-bl cells (NIH AIDS Research and Reference Reagent Program, catalog number 8129, passage number 2–6). Infected TZM-bl cells were stained using a solution containing 4 µM potassium ferrocyanide, 4 µM potassium ferricyanide, 2 µM magnesium chloride, 0.4 mg/ml X-gal55 (link),56 (link) and stained cells counted. TZM-bl cells were cultured at 37 °C 10% CO2 in TZM-bl medium (Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (Sigma) supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, 25 mM HEPES, 500 units/ml penicillin, 50 µg/ml streptomycin and 2 mM L-glutamine (Cellgro)), and regularly checked for morphology by microscope.

Sterile polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, SYLGARD 184, Dow Corning) wells (10 mm diameter, 1 mm height) were placed in a 24 well plate to ensure uniform collagen scaffold geometry and electric field distribution between each replicate. PDMS wells were treated with 1% PEI (Acros Organics) for 10 minutes, 0.1% glutaraldehyde (Fisher Scientific) for 20 minutes, and then washed twice with deionized water prior to collagen seeding to ensure collagen adhesion during treatment. Commercial rat tail collagen type I (BD Biosciences) was neutralized using a solution of 10X Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (10% total volume, Sigma Aldrich), 1 N NaOH (2% collagen volume, Sigma Aldrich), and 1X Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (Sigma Aldrich) to a final concentration of 5 mg/mL. U251 cells were detached from flasks using 0.25% trypsin/EDTA (Thermo Fisher Scientific) solution and added to the neutralized collagen solution at a concentration of 1×106 cells/mL. The collagen/cell solution was dispensed into PDMS wells and PDMS tops were used to mold the collagen flat while they polymerized in a cell culture incubator for 20 minutes. PDMS tops were removed and cell culture media was added. Collagen scaffolds were maintained in the incubator for 24 hours prior to treatment.

Isolation and Culture of Cerebral Microvessels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cerebral microvessels were isolated from the brains of male C57BL/6 mice based on a previously reported method (Yin et al., 2006). Cerebral cortices were dissected and homogenized. After centrifugation (10,000 × g for 5 minutes at 4°C), the precipitates were collected and resuspended in PBS. After the second centrifugation, the precipitates were resuspended in 18% dextroside and centrifuged again (1500 × g for 20 minutes at 4°C). To avoid contamination from neurons and glial cells in microvascular tissues, the collected precipitates were resuspended in 18% dextroside and centrifuged (10,000 × g for 1 minute at 4°C). The precipitates were resuspended in PBS and then filtered through a 70-μm membrane. The filtrate was discarded, and the final vessel pellets were collected and stored at –80°C for biochemical assays. Cells in cerebral microvessels were cultured with Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (MilliporeSigma) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (Gibco Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY, USA) to confluence. Mouse cerebral vascular endothelial cell cultures were exposed to OGD for various time points (1, 2, 4, 6, 24 and 48 hours) (Yin et al., 2013). The culture medium was replaced with glucose-free Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (MilliporeSigma), then cells were incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2. Cells were exposed to OGD for 24 hours.

Generating Peptide-Resistant Breast Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were obtained from Dr. S. Drover (Memorial University of Newfoundland, NL, Canada). NRC-03-and NRC-07-resistant MDA-MB-231 cells were generated by continuous exposure of MDA-MB-231 cells to increasing concentrations of DAA peptides NRC-03 or NRC-07 for approximately one year. Peptide-resistant cells were capable of growing in the presence of 50 μM NRC-03 or NRC-07. However, treatment with DAA peptides NRC-03 or NRC-07 at greater than 50 μM resulted in excessive toxicity, indicating that only low-level resistance was generated. Parental MDA-MB-231 cells cultured for the same amount of time as resistant cells but in the absence of peptide were used as a control for all experiments. All cells were grown in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium (Sigma-Aldrich Canada, Oakville, ON, Canada) supplemented with 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin, 2 mM L-glutamine, 5 mM HEPES (pH 7.4), and 2.5% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen, Burlington, ON, Canada). Cells were seeded, in peptide-free medium, into tissue culture plates, and were cultured for 24 h to promote cell adhesion. Stock flasks were passaged as required to maintain optimal cell growth and were routinely confirmed to be free of mycoplasma contamination.

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.
