Patients were treated according to the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for electrochemotherapy.16 Briefly, electrochemotherapy of cutaneous melanoma nodules was performed using either intravenous bleomycin (Bleomedac, Medac, Wedel, Germany) in a dose of 15,000 IU/m2 (link) or intratumoral Cisplatin (Cisplatin, Medac) injection in a concentration of 2 mg/ml and dose is applied according to ESOPE protocol.16 Standard pulse parameters for electrochemotherapy (voltage to distance ratio 1300 V/cm, 8 pulses, 100 μs, 5000 Hz) were used.16 Electric pulses were generated by Cliniporator pulse generator (IGEA, s.r.l., Carpi, Italy) and delivered by parallel stainless steel plate electrodes with 6 or 8 mm distance in between. Electric pulses were applied to the tumors nodules in a way so as to cover the whole tumor area, including the safety margin.

4-Methylumbelliferyl heptanoate (MUH) assays were performed as previously described22 (link). The cells were treated with cisplatin (Hexal, up to 20 µM), carboplatin (Medac, up to 250 µM), vemurafenib (LC Laboratories, up to 20 µM), trametinib (Selleck Chemicals, up to 250 nM), 5-fluorouracil (R&D Systems, up to 25 µM), paclitaxel (Merck, up to 500 nM) or temozolomide (TMZ; Merck, up to 50 µM) for 72 h.

Rb-targeting shRNA Production Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Erufosine was kindly provided by Prof. Eibl, MPI-Goettingen, Germany [30] (link) and a solution in 0.9% NaCl was used for all experiments. The cytostatics 5-fluorouracil (Sigma), cytosine arabinoside (Ara C, cytarabine, Sigma), doxorubicin (clinical grade) and cisplatin (Medac) were used as reference drugs. For generating a 21 bp long short hairpin RNA, a target site within the Rb-mRNA was selected in silico[31] (link) and the sequence was created with the HiPerformence Design Algorithm of Qiagen (Fig. 1a). Since there were reports, that shRNAs with a longer target site lead to more pronounced knockdown efficiency [32] (link), a 27 nucleotides long shRNA (shRNA Rb-27, Fig. 1a) was constructed in addition [33] (link). A non-specific21 bp long shRNA was used as a nonsense control (NSO, Fig. 1a). The plasmid pSUPER was kindly provided by Reuven Agami. The self-inactivating vector pLL 3.7 puro-eGFP originated from the laboratory of Luk van Parijs.

Dose-dependent Drug Sensitivity of Tumor Slices

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Twenty four hours after tumor resection, the cultured slices were treated with different drugs. First, slice cultures of six specimens were treated with cisplatin (1, 10 µM) or paclitaxel (1, 10, and 100 nM) (medac GmbH, Germany) for 72 h to investigate dose-response and individual susceptibility. Ten micromolar of cisplatin and 100 nM of paclitaxel were selected for further studies. Tumor specimen from 12 patients were treated with 3 µg/ml of Nivolumab (opdivo; Bristol Myers-Squibb, USA), the same concentration currently used in murine as well as clinical settings. Drug containing medium was prepared at the day of treatment and changed every other day. Control conditions were cultivated as indicated above without cytotoxic supplement and when possible with IgG4 (cat.No. bgal-mab114, invivogen, France) as an isotype control to Nivolumab.

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.
