Enhancing Chemotherapy Sensitivity in Ovarian Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human ovarian cancer SKOV3, SW626, HO8910, A2780 and 3AO cell lines and CDDP-resistant SKOV3/CDDP cell lines were taken from the cell bank of the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University and Henan Provincial People's Hospital and cultured by RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Cells were cultured in an incubator (Sanyo, Japan) at 37°C, 5% CO2 and 90% relative humidity. Then, the cells were digested with 0.4% trypsin for passage. CDDP (1 μg/mL) was added in the medium of SKOV3/CDDP cell lines to maintain the chemoresistance of cells. SKOV3/CDDP cells were divided into the following four groups: (1) CDDP group (only treated with CDDP); (2) CDDP + tunicamycin group (treated with 1 mg/L tunicamycin, then with CDDP); (3) CDDP + BEZ235 (Selleck Chemicals, the United States) group (treated with CDDP, then with 5 μmol/L BEZ235); (4) CDDP + BEZ235 + tunicamycin group (treated with 1 mg/L tunicamycin, then with CDDP and 5 μmol/L BEZ235). Each index was measured at the 24th hour after drugs were added in each group. SKOV3 cells were used as the blank control group.

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.
