Genetic Manipulation and 4NQO-Induced Carcinogenesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

K14Cre, K14CreER, and Ribotag mouse strains were purchased from The Jackson Laboratory (Bar Harbor, ME, USA). Mettl1flox and Mettl1cKI mice were kindly provided by Dr. Shuibin Lin from The First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat‐sen University. Mice were treated with 50 μg/mL 4‐nitroquinoline N‐oxide (4NQO) (Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in drinking water as previously described [26 (link)]. Four‐week‐old K14CreER;Mettl1wt/wt (Mettl1cKO‐Ctrl) and K14CreER;Mettl1fl/fl (Mettl1cKO) mice were injected with tamoxifen (Sigma‐Aldrich) at a dose of 4.44 mg/g body weight for 5 consecutive days and then treated with 4NQO in their drinking water for 16 weeks followed by another 12 weeks with normal drinking water. For the Mettl1 overexpression study, we crossed male and female K14Cre;Mettl1cKI/wt mice to obtain K14Cre;Mettl1wt/wt (Mettl1cKI‐Ctl) and K14Cre;Mettl1cKI/cKI (Mettl1cKI) mice. For the mouse rescue assay, SC79 (0.04 mg/g), an AKT activator [27 (link)], was intraperitoneally injected for 4 weeks after 4NQO treatment and fed for 20 weeks in Mettl1cKO‐Ctrl and Mettl1cKO mice. Mettl1cKI‐Ctrl and Mettl1cKI mice were treated with BKM120 (MedChemExpress, Shanghai, China), a PI3K inhibitor [28 (link)], by oral gavage (35 mg/kg) for 4 weeks after 4NQO treatment and feeding for 20 weeks.

5000 cells were plated in 96 well plates and changed to medium (growth media or serum-free media/50ng/ml EGF) containing inhibitors at different concentrations. The following inhibitors were used: BKM-120 and BYL719 (MedChemExpress, LLC), GDC0068 (Selleck), Trametinib (Selleck), Erlotinib (Selleck). After 72 hours, the relative numbers of remaining cells were measured with CellTiter-Glo (Promega, G7572).

Targeted Delivery of BKM120 in Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As previously described33 (link), the pan-PI3K inhibitor BKM120 (MedChemExpress) was dissolved in DMSO to 100 mg ml−1. A 10% (v/v) solution was then sequentially diluted in 40% PEG300, 5% Tween-80 and 45% PBS. DMSO (10%) was used as vehicle control. The course of treatment was daily gavage for 14 days. Tumour-bearing mice were first anaesthetized lightly and 100 µl of the solution was delivered to the mouse stomach through a feeding needle (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The study was blinded by one experimentalist performing gavage and the other one measuring the tumour sizes every 2–3 days without knowing the treatment or control. The results were analysed at day 15 after the initial treatment.

Primary cell line CF-00034-5 was prepared in a 384-well plate for cellular proliferation assay in an identical manner as above. After overnight incubation, the cultures were treated with inhibitors BKM120 (HY-70063, MedChemExpress LLC), BYL719 (S2814, Selleck Chemical), and AUY922 (HY-10215, MedChemExpress). All of the pharmaceuticals were administered at final concentrations of 0.3, 0.949, 3, 9.49, and 30 µM. Cellular proliferation was measured by Cell Titer Glo as described above. IC50 values were determined using GraphPad software and combination indexes were calculated using CalcuSyn software (Biosoft).

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.
