3D culture of MCF-10A cells was performed as described (Debnath et al., 2003 (link)). Briefly, 104 cells were seeded onto one chamber of a 4-well chamber slide pre-coated with Matrigel (BD Biosciences). After 31 days, cells were fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde (Fisher) and permeabilized using 0.5% Triton X-100, and sequentially incubated with anti-Laminin-5 (D4B5, EMD Millipore), Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen), anti-GFP (ab13970, Abcam), Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated goat anti-chicken IgG (Invitrogen), and nuclear stain 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Sigma). Images were acquired using the Leica TCS SP5-II Confocal Upright and the PerkinElmer UltraVIEW ERS confocal microscopes at the Molecular Cytology Core Facility at MSKCC and analyzed by MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices). To measure ROS levels, 3D culture of MCF-10A cells after 6-8 days were incubated with Hank's Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS, Invitrogen) containing 5 μM dihydroethidium (DHE, Invitrogen) and 3 μg/ml Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen) at 37°C for 30 minutes in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator, washed once with HBSS, then immediately imaged.

Mice were killed 2, 4 or 8 weeks after the injection. Anesthetized mice were transcardially perfused with PBS followed by 4% PFA. Brains were dissected and post-fixed in 4% PFA overnight at 4 °C. 50-μm coronal sections were obtained with a vibratome (Leica Microsystems). Antigen retrieval was performed as follows: sections were incubated for 30 min at 80 °C in 50 mM sodium acetate solution. Then the slices were washed three times in a PBTriton 0.1% solution. Sections were incubated with chicken anti-GFP (Abcam; 1:500) primary antibody overnight at 4 °C and then rinsed in PBTriton 0.1%. Alexa Fluor 488–conjugated goat anti-chicken IgG (1:500; Life Technologies) was used overnight at 4 °C as the secondary antibody.

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.
