ASC tumor cells were transplanted into age-matched C57BL/6 mice in order to generate tumors. Treatment with afatinib (12.5 mg/kg; MedChemExpress) or erlotinib (12.5 mg/kg; MedChemExpress) in 0.5% hydroxyl propyl methyl cellulose and 0.1% Tween 80 in H2O by oral gavage was started 10 days after tumor cell injection. For the analysis of tumor burden at 4 weeks after injection (Fig. 4A-B), mice were treated with afatinib 3 days per week. In the survival analysis, mice were treated five times per week and euthanized when their weight dropped more than 20% or their health weakened. Mice were euthanized by cervical dislocation and tumors were collected for IHC analysis.

Cells were seeded on six-well plates at the density of 200.000 cells/well. When cells reached 80% confluency they were washed with PBS and synchronized with basal media containing 0.5% FBS. After 16 hr 50 ng/ml of recombinant human (rh)TGFA (Sigma-Aldrich) and/or Afatinib (5 µM, MedChem Express, Monmouth Junction, NJ) was added to the wells.

Cell Culture and Synchronization Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Unless indicated, chemicals were from Sigma-Aldrich. Cell lines were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection. MCF10A cells were grown in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM)/F12 supplemented with antibiotics, insulin (10 μg/ml), cholera toxin (0.1 μg/ml), hydrocortisone (0.5 μg/ml), heat-inactivated horse serum (5%, v/v), and EGF (10 ng/ml). The 184A1 cells were grown in mammary epithelial cell growth medium (MEGM) (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) mixed 1:1 with DMEM/F12, supplemented with insulin, EGF, and hydrocortisone. MDA-MB-231, HCC70, and 4T1 cell lines were cultured in RPMI with 10% serum. HEK293T and HeLa cells were cultured in DMEM containing fetal bovine serum (10%). All cell lines were incubated at 37°C and 5% CO2. For time series experiments, cells were starved overnight in DMEM/F12 or MEGM without additives (starvation medium), and EGF was added to a final concentration of 10 ng/ml. All inhibitors (from MedChem Express; afatinib, PD0325901, everolimus, BEZ235, AKT-VIII, and BAY 11-7085) were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide. For cell cycle synchronization, HEK293T cells were arrested in different phases as follows: serum withdrawal for 17 hours followed by addition of serum for 1 hour (G0/G1), 2 mM thymidine (G1/S, 18 hours), or nocodazole (100 ng/ml) (G2/M, 18 hours).

Afatinib was purchased from Medchem express (Monmouth Junction, NJ). Breast cancer cell lines BT474, MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection. BT474 and MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in DMEM medium and MCF-7 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium and both mediums were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), 100 unit/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). All cells were maintained at 37°C in a humidified incubator containing 5% CO2.

Fresh Li-Heparin-anticoagulated blood samples were kindly provided by the blood bank of the University of Tübingen. The study is approved by the ethics committee of the University of Tübingen (184/2003 V). The blood was centrifuged at 120 g for 20 min at 21 °C and the platelets and leukocytes-containing supernatant was disposed. Erythrocytes were incubated in vitro at a hematocrit of 0.4% in Ringer solution containing (in mM) 125 NaCl, 5 KCl, 1 MgSO 4 , 32 N-2-hydroxyethylpiperazine-N-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES; pH 7.4), 5 glucose, 1 CaCl 2 , at 37°C for 48 hours. Where indicated, erythrocytes were exposed for 48 hours to afatinib (MedChem Express, Princeton, USA). In order to estimate the impact of Ca 2+ entry on afatinib induced phosphatidylserine exposure, ROS and ceramide formation, erythrocytes were exposed to afatinib in the absence and presence of extracellular Ca 2+ . To explore the participation of Akt/ PKB signaling pathway, erythrocytes were exposed for 48 hours to a combination of afatinib and Akt1/2 kinase inhibitor A6730 (58nM) (Sigma Aldrich Germany),

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.
