Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A549 and CH12F3 cells were grown in RPMI medium (Euroclone, Milan, Italy), HeLa clones in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Invitrogen, Monza, Italy) while JHH-6 were cultured in William’s medium E (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). CH12F3 containing two (+ / + /Δ) and zero copies of APE1 (Δ/Δ/Δ) have been described previously [27 (link)]. All cells were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Euroclone), 1% penicillin–streptomycin solution (100 U/mL penicillin, 100 mg/mL streptomycin), 2 mM L-glutamine (Euroclone) and cultured in a humidified incubator at 5% CO2 at 37 °C. Cells were tested as free of mycoplasma contamination (N-GARDE Mycoplasma PCR Reagent, Euroclone).
For APE1 endonuclease activity inhibition, A549 cells were treated with 20 µM APE1 endonuclease inhibitor #3 [28 (link)] while 100 µM of E3330 [29 (link)] was used for redox activity inhibition.

Silencing of hAPE1 in cancer cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
JHH-6 hepatocarcinoma cells23 (link) were grown in William’s medium E (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Huh7 differentiated hepatocytes derived from cellular carcinoma,24 (link) HepG2 differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma cells,25 (link) and HCT-116 cells were grown in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (EuroClone, Milan, Italy). A549 cells were grown in RPMI medium (Euroclone, Milan, Italy). All media were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Euroclone), 2 mM L-glutamine (Euroclone), 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 mg/mL streptomycin. Cells were negative for mycoplasma. The tests were performed with N-GARDE Mycoplasma PCR Reagent (Euroclone).
Cells were seeded in the number of 1.0×106 in a 10 cm dish. The following day, transfection was performed using 100 pmol of custom hAPE1 siRNA or with nontargeting siRNA pool (siSCR) as a control (GE Healthcare Dharmacon, Lafayette, CO, USA). The DharmaFECT transfection reagent (GE Healthcare Dharmacon) was employed for transfection following the manufacturer’s protocols. Two days after transfection, cells were collected, and whole cell extracts and RNA were prepared. RNA extraction was carried out using miRNeasy kit (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA) following the manufacturer’s protocols.

Cell Culture Protocols for Cancer Research

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa, HCT-116 (ATCC, Manassas, VA), and MCF-7 cell lines (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (Invitrogen, Monza, Italy) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Euroclone, Milan, Italy), 100 U ml−1 penicillin, 10 μg ml−1 streptomycin sulphate. OCI/AML-2 and OCI/AML-3 cell lines (a kind gift by Emanuela Colombo) were grown in alpha-MEM (Euroclone) supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum, 100 U ml−1 penicillin and 10 μg ml−1 streptomycin sulfate. HeLa cell clones expressing an ectopic APE1–FLAG-tagged form13 (link) were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 U ml−1 penicillin, 10 μg ml−1 streptomycin sulfate, 3 μg ml−1 blasticidin, 100 μg ml−1 zeocine, and 400 μg ml−1 geneticin (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). For inducible APE1-shRNA experiments, doxycycline (1 μg ml−1; Sigma-Aldrich) was added to the cell culture medium, and cells were grown for 10 days, as previously described13 (link), 14 (link). All cell lines were tested and free of mycoplasma contamination (N-GARDE Mycoplasma PCR Reagent, Euroclone).

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.
