Drug Sensitivity Assay for Patient-Derived Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spheroids derived from the human patient’s core-needle biopsy sample or CTCs were cultured for drug tests. Anti-cancer drugs, including epirubicin, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), fulvestrant, gemcitabine, paclitaxel, palbociclib, vinorelbine, carboplatin, eribulin, and doxorubicin, were purchased from MedChemExpress, and treated at a dose of 0.1, 0.3, 1 or 3 Cmax. All drugs were dissolved in DMSO, which were further diluted in media containing 10% FBS (final [DMSO] ≤ 0.25% (v/v)). Cell viability was measured using RealTime-Glo TM Cell Viability Assay, following the manufacturer’s protocol (Promega). Relative cell viability was calculated by comparing the absolute luminescence intensity before (at time 0) and after (24, 48, and 72 h) drug treatment and was used to determine the effectiveness of the chemotherapeutic drug.

In cell viability assay, 4000 cells per well were planted in 96-well plates and cells were exposed to different concentrations of agents in the following day. After 48-hour treatment, cell survival was assessed with the Cell Counting kit-8 in according to the recommended guideline (KeyGEN Biotech, Nanjing, China). Combination index (CI) values were calculated using CompuSyn software (ComboSyn, Inc., NJ, USA).
Palbociclib, Ribociclib, Abemaciclib, enzalutamide, Fulvestrant and Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) were obtained from MedChem Express, and Palbociclib was diluted in sterile water, DHT was dissolved in ethanol and others above were diluted in DMSO.

Estrogen-Modulated Liver Cell Culture

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
L02 cells (normal human liver cells) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). L02 cells were cultured in high-glucose DMEM, phenol red free DMEM (PRF DMEM) medium (HyClone) containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) or estrogen charcoal-stripped FBS (CS FBS), and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (100 μg ml−1) at a constant temperature (37 °C) in a humidified incubator (5% CO2). To ensure that the experimental results were not influenced by exogenous estrogen levels, PRF DMEM medium and CS FBS were used in our experiments that were conducted in preparation of CS FBS and was followed based on a prior work (de Faria et al. 2016 (link); Simoncini et al. 2005 (link)). Fulvestrant (ICI 182780, MedChemExpress, 100 nM) was used for estrogen receptor inhibition. L02 cells were exposed to lentivirus (LV)-HNF1b (Genechem Co., Ltd., Shanghai) or LV-shPPARγ (TianYuCheng Co., Ltd., Xi’an) for 12 h and then selected with puromycin (BioFroxx, Germany) for 12 h to establish a cell line with stable overexpression of HNF1b. L02 cells were treated with 1 or 10 μM BPA for 48 h.

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.
