Pancreatic Cancer Cell Culture and Treatment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa and MIA PaCa-2 cells were obtained from ATCC and cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Wisent Bioproducts, St-Bruno, QC, Canada), 10 mM HEPES (Wisent Bioproducts), and 2 mM GlutaMAXTM (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Mississauga, ON, Canada) at 37 °C under a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere. The generation of MIA PaCa-2 cells stably expressing a non-targeting shRNA (shNT) or shRNA targeting TFEB (shTFEB) was identical to the method we described for PANC1 [33 (link)]. Non-tumoral human pancreatic duct epithelial (HPDE) cells were kindly provided by Ming-Sound Tsao (University of Toronto, ON, Canada) and cultured in keratinocyte Serum-Free Growth Medium (SFM) (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.) as described [33 (link), 57 (link), 58 (link)]. Cells were incubated with gemcitabine (LC Laboratories, Woburn, MA, USA), doxorubicin (LC Laboratories), or 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; Sigma-Aldrich Canada Corp., Oakville, ON, Canada) for the indicated periods. The following inhibitors were purchased from the listed suppliers: the mTOR inhibitor Torin1 and GSK3 inhibitor CHIR99021 (Selleck Chemicals LLC., Houston, TX, USA), MEK inhibitor trametinib, and the KRASG12C inhibitor ARS-1620 (MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA), and Bafilomycin A1 (LC Laboratories).

Combination Drug Synergy Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ARS-1620 and BI-3406 was purchased from MedChemExpress. AMG-510, Erlotinib, Afatinib, AZD-4547, Linsitinib, Imatinib, Cabozantinib, Ceritinib, GDC-0941 and RXDX-106 were purchased from Selleckchem. Drugs were reconstituted in DMSO to 10 mM stock concentrations and stored at −80oC. The combination index (CI) was calculated using CompuSyn software (20 (link)). The coefficient of drug interaction (CDI) was calculated using the following formula; CDI = AB/(A × B) (21 (link)).

Cell Line Maintenance and Compound Acquisition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The pancreatic cancer cell line MIA PaCa-2 was purchased from the Bioresource Collection and Research Center (Hsinchu, Taiwan). The lung cancer cell lines LU65 and NCI-H23 were obtained from the RIKEN Cell Bank (Ibaraki, Japan) and American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA), respectively. MIA PaCa-2 cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate. NCI-H23 and LU65 cells were maintained in Roswell Park Memorial Institute 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS. In all culture media, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin were added to prevent bacterial contamination. All cell culture reagents were purchased from Gibco, Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). The cell lines were incubated in a humidified incubator at 37 °C under 5% CO2 and 95% air atmosphere. All cells were verified through short-tandem repeat (STR) profiling and tested negative for mycoplasma contamination.
Sotorasib, ARS-1620, Q-VD-OPh (QVD), cobimetinib, N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), and encorafenib were purchased from MedChemExpress (Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA).

KRAS siRNA and shRNA Knockdown Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
siRNA oligonucleotides targeting KRAS were: KRAS 1, CUAUGGUCCUAGUAGGAAAtt (Thermo Fisher, 4390824, s7939), and KRAS 2, GCCUUGACGAUACAGCUAAtt (Thermo Fisher, 4390824, s7940). The target sequence for the validated shRNA construct used to target KRAS was CAGTTGAGACCTTCTAATTGG. To determine the levels of activated proteins, immunoblot analyses were done using phosphospecific antibodies to AMPKα (T172; 40H9), Beclin-1 (S93; D9A5G), DRP1 (S616) and RSK (T395/S363). Antibodies recognized total LC3B, KRAS (234–4.2), AMPKα (Δ63Γ4) Beclin-1 (2A4), PINK1 (D8G3), VDAC (D73D12), DRP1 (D8H5), RSK (32D7), ATG5, ATG7 (EP1759Y), β-actin (AC-15), vinculin (hVIN-1) or GAPDH (GAPDH-71.1) to control for total protein expression. All antibodies were obtained from Cell Signaling Technologies except ATG7 (Abcam), KRAS (Calbiochem), β-actin (Sigma) and vinculin (Sigma). Immunochemical labeling of mitochondria was performed using TOMM20 (Santa Cruz). Chemical reagents used were bafilomycin A1, oligomycin A, rotenone, antimycin, FCCP, CCCP, doxycycline, MTT and chloroquine diphosphate (Sigma); calcein AM and AlamarBlue (Invitrogen); hydroxychloroquine (SelleckChem); binimetinib (SelleckChem); ARS-1620 (Medchem Express); Spautin-1, SBI-0206965 and MRT68921 (Xcessbio); SCH772984 (provided by Merck) and BVD-523 (provided by Biomed Valley Discoveries).

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.
