Adult NOD.Cg-PrkdcscidIl2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ (NSG) mice (6–8 weeks old) were pretreated with 280 cGy total body irradiation, then 5 × 105 viable OCI-AML3 cells (in 300 μl PBS) or 1 × 106 patient BM cells (in 300 μl PBS) were injected into tail veins of the recipient NSG mice for transplantation. After transplantation, the recipients mice were administered with (for OCI-AML3 cells stably expressing inducible shHOXBLINC to induce HoxBlinc KD) or without (for AML cells with dCas9-mediated HoxBlinc inactivation) doxycycline in the drinking water (Sigma D-9891, 1 mg/ml, 1% sucrose, newly prepared every other day) until being sacrificed, and daily monitored for symptoms (ruffled coat, hunched back, weakness, and reduced motility) and survival time. For each set of xenotransplantation, recipient mice of all groups were killed and analyzed on the same day when any group of recipients exhibited a moribund condition. Human CD45 chimerism in the BM, spleen cells, and PB WBC were analyzed by flow cytometry, histological assay, IHC for hCD45 were also performed as described above.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This study was approved by the UCSF Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (AN174769), and all experiments complied with relevant ethical regulations. Xenograft experiments were performed by implanting 3 million CH-157MN cells into the flank of 5–6-week-old female NU/NU mice (Harlan Sprague Dawley Inc.). To induce Merlin expression in meningiomas in vivo, mice harboring CH-157MN cells encoding pLV.APEX2-Merlin were treated with doxycycline 200 μg/ml (n=3) (#D9891, Sigma) or vehicle (n=3) 14 days post implantation. After 7 days of treatment, 2 Gy of ionizing radiation per day was delivered using a Precision X-RAD 320 Cabinet Irradiation, with normal operating settings, on each of 2 successive days. Tumors were collected 24 hours after the second dose of ionizing radiation for immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry. For preclinical pharmacologic experiments, animals in the treatment arm (n=7) were gavaged with 100 μg/g abemaciclib in 0.5% methylcellulose vehicle daily starting 12 days after injection, until protocol-defined endpoints. Animals in the vehicle arm (n=13) were gavaged at the same frequency for the same duration with 0.5% methylcellulose. For Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, events were recorded when tumors reached the protocol-defined size of 2000 mm3.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Induction of transgene expression were conducted in 3-month-old adult fish for 7 days with 60 μg/ml doxycycline (D9891; Sigma). In preliminary experiments, we found no histological change of liver histology after one day of doxycycline induction but histological transformation of liver cells (hyperplasia) was observed from 3 days post-induction (data not shown). At the end of doxycycline treatment, >10 fish in each group were used for imaging analyses. All the zebrafish were anesthetized in 0.08% tricaine (E10521; Sigma) and immobilized in 3% methylcellulose (M0521; Sigma) before imaging. Each fish was photographed individually from the left lateral side with an Olympus microscope.

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.
