Tracking Metastatic Potential of DAB2IP-Knockdown PC3 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Early study has shown that DAB2IP gene knockdown in PC3 cell, a poorly-metastatic line, increases its metastatic potential (also called as DAB2IP-knockdown PC3 cells or KD cells)24 . These stable cell lines expressing dual reporter genes (GFP and luciferase) were maintained in RPMI1640 medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) containing 5% PBS as previous described24 . Migration assays were performed in Transwell dishes (Corning Costar, Cambridge, MA, USA) as described earlier73 (link). For tracking the cell migration in vivo, both PC3 and KD were labeled with Qtracker® labeling kit (Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) by following manufacture's instruction as illustrated earlier74 (link). For histological study, Vybrant DiD cell labeling dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to track cancer cells according to the product information for observation under microscope75 (link).

Various antibodies were purchased from the following suppliers: HIV-1 Tat (#ab43014) from Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; against phospho-DRP1 (#3455), Alix (#2171), GRP94 (#2104), and p-eNOS (#9571) from Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers MA, USA; against CD81 (#sc-23962), CD63 (#sc-5275), and TSG101 (#sc-7964) from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA; β-actin (#A5441) from Sigma-Aldrich; total DRP-1 (#611112), total eNOS (#610296) from BD Transduction Laboratory, San Jose, CA, USA. Vybrant DiD cell-labeling dye for exosome staining was purchased from Molecular Probes (Eugene, OR, USA). Dihydroethidium (DHE) (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to detect cytosolic superoxide and MitoSOX Red (Molecular Probes) for the detection of mitochondrial superoxide. To label mitochondria, MitoTracker Red and MitoTracker Green were used (Molecular Probes). Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), PX866, Dynasore, and Cytochalasin D were from Cayman Chemical (Ann Arbor, MI), Ionomycin was from Sigma-Aldrich, and recombinant human IL-2 (rIL-2) was from Miltenyi Biotec (Auburn, CA, USA). GW4896 was from Selleckchem (Houston, TX).

Fluorescent Labeling of Exosomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Vybrant DiD cell-labeling dye (Molecular Probes) was used for exosome labeling. Initially, 300 μg of freshly isolated exosomes was resuspended in 1 mL of PBS, and then, 5 μL of the DiD-dye was added according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Exosomes with dye were incubated for 15 min at 37 °C; then, 1 mL of 1% BSA in PBS was added, mixed, and kept for 2 min at 37 °C and centrifuged at 32,500 rpm (100,000×g) for 70 min at 4 °C (OptimaTM TLX Ultracentrifuge, Beckman Coulter). The DiD-tagged exosome pellet was re-suspended in 80 μL of PBS. The concentration of exosomes was measured by Nanodrop (Thermo Fisher Scientific), aliquoted with a small volume of 20 μL, and kept at -80°C until used.

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.
