A549 or HeLa cells were seeded in 96-well plates the previous day and infected with modified VACV viruses as specified in the text at an MOI of 1 (fluorescence readout) or 0.1 (viral titer). For drug treatment, compounds were added at specified concentrations prior to virus addition. Inhibitor compounds: Triptolide, Quercetin (Tocris Bioscience), KRIBB11 (EMD Millipore), KRIBB3, Pifithrin-μ, Myricetin (Sigma Aldrich), and Heat Shock Protein Inhibitor I/KNK437 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) For fluorophore assays, cells were fixed at 18 hpi with 4% formaldehyde. Plates were read on a Tecan infinite M1000 for Venus (excitation: 515 nm and emission: 528 nm) and mCherry (excitation: 587 nm and emission: 610 nm). For plaque assays, virus was collected 24 hpi and titered by plaque assay.

Stability and Use of Catechol Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All chemicals in pure form were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich with the exception of L-sulforaphane and luteolin from Cayman Chemical, quercetin from Tocris Bioscience, and 4-vinylcatechol from Toronto Research Chemicals. Because 4-vinylcatechol (also known as 3,4-dihydroxystyrene) contains a vinyl group (see Fig 1) it polymerizes in the presence of oxygen, similarly to other styrenes. To prevent polymerization, the supplier (Toronto Research Chemicals), provides this compound under inert atmosphere together with 1% w/w butylated hydroxytoluene. In control experiments, we determined that this proportion of butylated hydroxytoluene had no affect on results. Once a vial of 4-vinylcatechol is opened to room air and suspended in water, the integrity of the stock compound begins to deteriorate, and we found it best to open a new vial for each experiment. Dilute 4-vinylcatechol (30 μM, as used in cell culture experiments) is much more stable because the low concentration disfavors polymerization. In general, catechol and alkyl catechols were prepared as 3mM stock solutions in purified water as vehicle, filter sterilized, and diluted to the final concentration indicated for each experment.

Cell culture and drug preparation. The doxorubicin-resistant human ovarian cancer cell line, NCI/ADR-RES, was provided by Dr Hwa Jeong Lee (Ewha Womans University, Seoul, Korea). The NCI/ADR-RES cells were cultured in RPMI 1640 (WelGENE, Inc., Daegu, Korea) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham , MA, USA) and 1% antibiotics-antimycotic solution (WelGENE, Inc.) in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO 2 at 37˚C. The RCM extract was prepared by Hanpoong Pharmaceutical Company (Jeonju, Korea). The RCM was dissolved in 30% ethanol. Ellagic acid and quercetin were purchased from Tocris Biosciences (Boston, MA, USA) and Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA), respectively. Ellagic acid was dissolved in distilled water at 25 mM, and quercetin was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; Sigma-Aldrich) at 30 mg/ml.

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.
