The HeLa, HepG2, and HEK293T cell lines were obtained from RIKEN Cell Bank and grown in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The following antibodies were used for Western blotting and immunostaining: anti-RAD51 (dilution 1:500–1000 H-92; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), anti-BRCA2 (dilution 1:250 OP-95; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany), anti-lamin B1 (dilution 1:1000 PM064; MBL, Nagoya, Japan), anti-FLAG (dilution 1:1000 M2; Merck), anti-α-Tubulin (dilution 1:1000 M175-3; MBL), anti-GFP (dilution 1:1000 598; MBL), and anti-Cyclin A antibody (dilution 1:1000 B8; Santa Cruz Biotechnology).
The FLAG-HA- or FLAG-HA-EGFP-fused BRCA2 C-terminus (3260–3418 aa) and FLAG-HA-fused CTRBD (3260–3331 aa) were stably expressed using the pOZ-N plasmid [28 (link)]. The shRNA-mediated knockdown of BRCA2 was achieved by expressing the target sequence 5′-TACAATGTACACATGTAACAC-3′ in the pLKO.1 vector (donated by David Root; Addgene plasmid no. 10878) and scramble shRNA (donated by David Sabatini; Addgene plasmid no. 1864) [29 (link),30 (link)]. The plasmid DNA was transfected into HEK293T cells using FuGENE HD (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cells (4 × 105) were plated, treated with PARPi and ATRi for 12 or 24 h, washed in cold PBS, and cytospun onto a glass slide at 79 × g for 5 min. Cells were treated with 0.5% Triton and fixed in cold methanol, followed by blocking in PBS with 0.1% Triton, 2% bovine serum albumin and 10% milk. Cells were incubated with primary anti-γH2AX antibody (1:500, Millipore), anti-BRCA2 (1:1000, Millipore), anti-Rad51 antibody (1:200, Santa Cruz), and anti-RPA (1:200, Thermo Fisher Scientific) overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber after incubation with primary anti-γH2AX antibody (1:500, Millipore) for 2 h at room temperature for double staining. Following washing with TBST (Boston Bioproduct), cells were incubated with secondary antibodies Alexa-488 anti-mouse (1:250; Jackson ImmunoResearch) and Cy3 anti-rabbit (1:250; Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 1 h at room temperature, and slides were mounted with VectaShield (DAPI included, Vector Laboratories). Staining was imaged at ×60 with a Nikon 90i microscope and quantified using the software ImageJ.

Cells were lysed in mammalian protein extraction reagent (Pierce). After quantification using a BCA protein assay kit (Pierce), total proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE under denaturing conditions and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore).

Cells were seeded on coverslips and treated with THZ1 and ionizing radiation, or with DMSO, THZ1, olaparib or combination of THZ1 and olaparib, then harvested for immunofluorescent staining. Cells were fixed in solution containing 3% paraformaldehyde and 2% sucrose for 10 min at room temperature, and subsequently permeabilized with 0.5% Triton solution for 5 min at 4°C. Permeabilized cells were incubated with anti-γH2AX antibody (Cat No: ab81299, Abcam), anti-BRCA1 (Cat No: sc-6954, Santa Cruz), anti-BRCA2 (Cat No: OP95, Millipore), or anti-RAD51 (Cat No: ab213, Abcam) in PBST buffer (PBS plus 0.1% Tween-20, 0.02% NaN3) overnight at 4°C. Cells were then washed three times with PBST, then incubated with secondary antibody for 1 hour at room temperature. After four washes with PBST, coverslips were mounted onto glass slides using Vectashield mounting medium containing DAPI (Vector Laboratories) and visualized using an Axiovert 200M inverted microscope (Zeiss).

Excised tumors, kidney and livers were sampled just after sacrifice and representative areas were a) formalin-fixed (24 hours) (Millipore) and paraffin-embedded and (b) snap-frozen in OCT and stored at 80ºC as previously described [32 (link)]. Tissue sections 2μM thick were stained with hematoxilin & eosin and prepared for IHC. Two experienced pathologists (MCGM and EDA) observed the samples under a Leica microscope (Leica Microsystems). IHC was performed as previously described [32 (link)] using the following primary antibodies: anti-pH2AX (Millipore); anti-cleaved PARP (cell signaling); anti-Ki67 (Millipore) and anti-BRCA2 (Millipore). TUNEL assays (Roche) were performed to detect DNA fragmentation and late apoptosis. To quantify the extent of necrosis and the IHC findings, the Dotslide analysis program (Olympus) and the Ariol Image analysis system (Olympus) were used respectively.

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.
