Nutlin 3a

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States, Germany

Nutlin-3a is a chemical compound developed by Merck Group. It is a potent and selective inhibitor of the interaction between the p53 tumor suppressor protein and the MDM2 (murine double minute 2) oncoprotein. Nutlin-3a is primarily used as a research tool in cellular and biochemical studies to investigate the p53-MDM2 pathway and its role in various cellular processes.

Nutlin-3a Induces p53-Dependent p21 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IMR90 cells from PD 25–35 were grown in DMEM media with 10% FBS under 3% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide. Nutlin-3a (Sigma, SML0580–5MG) was dissolved in DMSO to a 5mM stock solution and added to IMR90 cells to a final concentration of 5uM. Treatment of IMR90 cells with Nutlin-3a resulted in increased p53 protein levels and induction of p21 expression as has been previously described (Vassilev et al., 2004 (link)) (Figure S1A). Treatment with Nutlin-3a also led to strong accumulation of p53 in the nucleus, and consistent with previous reports (Choi et al., 2019 (link)), this includes locations proximal to nuclear speckles as identified by the speckle-marking antibody, ab11826 (Figure S1B; (Ilık et al., 2020 )). Additionally, ChIP-qPCR shows that p53 binds to its consensus sites at the p21 enhancer and promoter throughout 2, 6, and 9 hours of Nutlin-3a treatment (Figures S1C and S1D), demonstrating persistent interaction of p53 with its p21 binding sites throughout the time points examined.

Cells grown on poly-L-lysine (Sigma-Aldrich) coated coverslips were treated with mEHT for 60 min at 42 °C between two plane-parallel electric condenser plates using a Lab-EHY 100 device (Oncotherm Kft, Budaors, Hungary). After the treatment, coverslip cultures were put into fresh culture medium until further processing. When mEHT was combined with nutlin-3a (Sigma-Aldrich), cells were treated with mEHT for 60 min at 42 °C and then placed in complete medium containing 10 µM nutlin-3a. Twenty-four hours post-treatment, resazurin (Sigma-Aldrich) viability assay was performed. Experiments were repeated at least three times.

The HSV DNA replication inhibitor acyclovir (Sigma) was used to supplement the postinfection low-serum medium to a final concentration of 200 μM. Nutlin-3a (Sigma) was used to supplement low-serum medium to the concentrations indicated in Fig. S3. Control treatments contained only medium (untreated) or a volume of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) equivalent to that of the highest concentration of Nutlin-3a used. HFFs were pretreated with the concentrations of Nutlin-3a indicated in Fig. S3 for 1 h. Infections were carried out normally, without the addition of Nutlin-3a. Following removal of the inoculum after absorption, the low-serum medium added back contained the concentration of Nutlin-3a used in the pretreatment step. Cells were incubated in low-serum medium supplemented with etoposide (Sigma) at a final concentration of 20 μM for the periods of time indicated in Fig. 2D and Fig. 3D.

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.
