Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The tested nitro-substituted hydroxynaphthanilides 16 were prepared and supplied by the Department of Chemical Drugs, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Veterinary and Pharmaceutical Sciences Brno, Czech Republic. The synthesis and structural characterization of these compounds have been described previously [3 (link),5 (link)]. Due to poor solubility in water, the compounds were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), while the stock solutions were prepared freshly before each experiment. The final concentration of DMSO in the assays never exceeded 0.1% (v/v). Cisplatin and camptothecin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. RPMI 1640 and DMEM culture media, phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), foetal bovine serum (FBS) and antibiotics (penicillin and streptomycin) were obtained from HyClone Laboratories, Inc. (GE Healthcare, Logan, UT, USA). Mouse monoclonal antibodies against cyclin E1 (sc-247), caspase 3 (sc-7272) and caspase 9 (sc-17784) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against cyclin B1 (ab2949) and caspase 8 (ab-25901) were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). All other reagents, unless specified elsewhere, were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich.

Total protein was extracted using Pierce lysis buffer (Pierce, Rockford, IL). Protein quantification was performed using the Bradford method (Bio-Rad Co., USA). Proteins were separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were blocked in Tris buffered saline tween (TBST) with low-fat milk and then incubated overnight with primary antibodies against PLK1 (1:1000, ab109777, Abcam, USA), BUB1B (1:1000, ab70544, Abcam, CA, USA), CCNB1 (1:1000, ab2949, Abcam, CA, USA), CDC25A (1:1000, ab989, Abcam, CA, USA), FBXO5 (1:1000, ab129905, Abcam, CA, USA), NDC50 (1:3000, SAB1410085, Sigma, CA, USA) and GAPDH (1:2000, ab9485, Abcam, CA, USA) at 4 °C.

Left lung samples (4 µm) were washed in water for 15 min following dewaxing (xylene for 5 min; xylene and ethanol (1:5) for 5 min; xylene and ethanol (1:1) for 5 min) and incubated with 3% H2O2 for 10 min all at room temperature. Following the antigen was repaired at 95°C for 20 min and the slices were blocked by 0.1% goat serum (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) at room temperature for 15 min. Sections were subsequently incubated with primary antibodies against Ki67 (ab15580, 1:100), p27Kip1 (ab7961, 1:100) and cyclin B1 (ab2949, 1:100; all provided by Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with second antibody (1% biotin-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG; ab47844; Abcam) at 37°C for 15 min. This was followed by incubation with horseradish peroxidase-labeled streptomyces ovalbumin at 37°C for 15 min and staining with diaminobenzidine (DAB) for 10–30 min at room temperature. The immunohistochemical results were analyzed using Image-Pro Plus software 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA) and semi-quantified to obtain integrated optical density (IOD) values. For each animal, 20 random visual fields of view were observed using an optical microscope (magnification, ×400) and an average IOD value calculated.

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.
