Renal adenocarcinoma cell line Renca was purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). Tumor cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 (Microgem), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Microgem). The Renca-Luc variant was obtained by infecting Renca cells with a lentiviral vector carrying the coding sequence of synthetic firefly luciferase gene luc2 and using blasticidin (5 µg mL−1; Gibco) as a selection antibiotic. The Renca-iRFP670 is the fluorescent Renca variant stably expressing the iRFP670 fluorescent protein. The UV-2237 fibrosarcoma cell line26 (link) was maintained in DMEM (EuroClone) supplemented with 10% FBS. Stocks of the cell lines were stored frozen in liquid nitrogen and used within four weeks after thawing. Cells were routinely tested by PCR for Mycoplasma contamination.
The Lewis Lung carcinoma cell line (LLC) was obtained from the Developmental Therapeutics Program (DTP) – Division of Cancer Treatment and Diagnosis (DCTD) Tumor Repository, NCI, US. LLC was stocked frozen as in vivo-derived tumor fragments and maintained subcutaneously in C57/BL6 mice before testing.

Simplexide was isolated from Plakortis simplex at the Department of Pharmacy, University of Naples Federico II. Target-specific primers for CXCL8, IL6, TNFα, and GAPDH were designed using the Beacon Designer 3.0 (Biorad Laboratories, Milan, Italy) and produced and purified by Custom Primers (Life Technologies, Milan, Italy).

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.
