Cell lines (SK-LMS-1, SK-UT-1, HTB-93, HT-1080, SK-MEL-2, AS-Pc-1, MiaPaCa-2, MNNG, RDES, and RD HPAC) were all purchased from ATCC. SYO-1 and FUJI were kindly provided by Dr. Akira Kawai (National Cancer Centre Hospital, Tokyo, Japan) and Dr. Kazuo Nagashima (Hokkaido University School of Medicine, Sapporo, Japan), LUPI was a gift from Dr. John Pfeiffer (Washington University in St. Louis). RH28 were a gift from Lee J. Helman (USC Children's Hospital, Los Angeles, California). All cell lines were cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2, in Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM, Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, Thermo Fisher). For experiments, Modified Eagle Medium (MEM; Life Technologies), supplemented with 10% FBS, was used. All LTAT cell lines were cultured in DMEM or MEM with 1 μg/mL ADI-PEG20 (Polaris) until ASS1 expression was detected, and were then continuously cultured in ADI-PEG20–supplemented media. All cell lines other than LUPI, RD, SYO-1, FUJI, RDES, and RH28 are from ATCC and cultured less than 6 months. The SYO-1 and FUJI cell lines were authenticated by confirming the expression of the pathognomic SYT-SSX fusion gene by RT-PCR, LUPI, and RD were authenticated by confirming the expression of the pathognomic EWS-FLI fusion gene by RT-PCR. All cell lines were determined to be Mycoplasma free using the LookOut Mycoplasma PCR Detection kit (Sigma-Aldrich).

Three ULMS-derived cell lines were used for this study. SKN was purchased from the Japanese Cancer Research Resources Bank, and SK-UT-1 and SK-LMS-1 were purchased from the ATCC. According to the depmap portal (https://depmap.org/portal/), all cell lines contain different missense mutations in TP53. Moreover, SK-UT-1 contains frameshift mutations in RB1 and PTEN, whereas SKN contains a missense mutation in PTEN. SKN cells were maintained in Ham's F12 medium (Sigma-Aldrich) containing 10% FBS (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and antibiotics. SK-UT-1 and SK-LMS-1 cells were maintained in MEM (Nacalai Tesque) containing 10% FBS, 1 mmol/L sodium pyruvate (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and antibiotics. The cell lines tested negative to Mycoplasma contamination and were used between five and 40 passages for the experiments.

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.
