Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded in a 96-well plate (2,000 cells per well) and incubated overnight before treatment with sequential dilutions of carboplatin (Teva Pharmaceuticals; range, 50–1,000 μmol/L) for 6  (ovarian cancer cell lines) or 7 (patient-derived ovarian cancer cells) days. Cell viability was assessed with MTS reagent that contains a tetrazolium compound [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium, inner salt; MTS] and an electron-coupling reagent (phenazine methosulfate; PMS). The optical density (absorbance at 490 nm) was measured with an Infinite M200 Pro plate reader (Tecan, Inc.). IC50 values were determined in GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, Inc.).

For organoid carboplatin sensitivity assay, 20,000 cells per 10 μL of 75% Cultrex were plated into the wells of a black walled 96-well plate. On day 2, media containing 1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 75 μmol/L of carboplatin (Teva; No. 00703424601) were added to the organoids. On day 7, an equal volume of CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay (Promega; No. G9681) was added to each well, and the luminescence was read using a Tecan plate reader. The percentage of cell viability was calculated and graphed using Microsoft Excel and GraphPad Prism.

Tarextumab and Chemotherapy in Allograft Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
NOD/SCID mice implanted with OMP-LU66 or TKO allografts were randomized and treated with a control antibody or tarextumab (OMP-59R5, 40mg/kg, Q2W) as a single agent or in combination with the chemotherapy agents carboplatin (25 mg/kg, QW, Teva) and irinotecan (25 mg/kg, QW, Pfizer). We used carboplatin and irinotecan (instead of cisplatin and etoposide) for these longer term studies as they are less toxic, better tolerated by the mice, and have been shown to have similar efficacies as cisplatin and etoposide36 (link),37 (link). To avoid the side effects of total Notch pathway inhibition in vivo38 (link),39 (link), we sought to reduce Notch signaling with the Notch2/3 antagonist tarextumab. After approximately four cycles, chemotherapy was discontinued and tarextumab dosing was continued until study completion. Mice with tumor volumes at or exceeding the 2500mm3 (link) limit permitted by the IACUC were sacrificed regardless of timepoint.

DNA Retardation Assay with Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Different concentrations of the test compounds (2.5, 10.0, 20.0, 50.0 and 100.0 μM) were incubated with 0.1 μg of plasmid DNApHOT1 (TopoGen, Buena Vista, CO, USA) at 37 °C for 30 min in 10.0 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.9). Carboplatin (TEVA, Tel Aviv, Israel) was used as a positive control of the retardation of DNA migration. The reaction products were separated in 1% agarose gel electrophoresis under a maximal voltage of 1.8 V/cm for 5 h. The gel was then stained with 0.5 μg/mL ethidium bromide. The DNA contained in the gel was visualized via UV fluorescence with a ChemiDoc MP Imaging system (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) at a wavelength of 254 nm.

Iron Compounds Preparation for Cell Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Iron compounds were first reconstituted in DMSO and then diluted with sterile and bidistilled water to obtain 100 µM stock solutions with a concentration of 4% DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich, Burlington, MA, USA). Just before the experiments, these solutions were further diluted with sterile complete medium to obtain the desired final concentrations. In the cell proliferation experiments, cisplatin (Pfizer, Madrid, Spain) and carboplatin (Teva, Madrid, Spain) were included as controls.

Three TNBC cell lines (Hs578t, MDA-MB-231, and SUM159) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). All cells were maintained in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY) with 10% fetal bovine serum (Thermos Scientific Hyclone, Rockford, IL) in a humidified 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. Chloroquine diphosphate salt (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and carboplatin (Teva Pharmaceuticals, Sellersville, PA) were dissolved in cell culture-grade water at the concentration of 10 mM. CD marker antibodies (BD Biosciences, San Jose, California), MitoSOX Red Mitochondrial Superoxide Indicator (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), Cell Proliferation Reagent WST-1 (Clontech, Mountain View, CA) were acquired. Cytochrome C, LC-3B, p62, NQO1, Rad50, PARP and β-actin antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA).

Optimal Dosing for Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy Regimen

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In this study, we chose an intraperitoneal route for administration of chemotherapy because it is less demanding to administrate in mice. Moreover, in human studies intraperitoneal delivery has at least the same response rate as the intravenous route and therefore are used more and more in clinical practice [26] (link). To determine the maximum tolerable dosage (MTD) of carboplatin (Teva, Helsingborg, Sweden 10 mg/ml) and paclitaxel (Fresenius Kabi, Halden, Norway 6 mg/ml), the following different dosages were evaluated. carboplatin 15, 20 or 30 mg/kg, paclitaxel 12, 16 or 20 mg/kg as monotherapy or combined (n = 3 mice per group, total 27 mice) twice weekly for three consecutive weeks (Q2Wx3). Body weight was monitored for 28 days. A combination consisting of carboplatin 15 mg/kg together with paclitaxel 12 mg/kg was found to be the MTD. At the end of study the mice were euthanized.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells (5,000 per well) were plated in each well of a 96-well plate and incubated overnight. Cells were then serum starved and treated with 0.7–1000 nM paclitaxel (Sigma-Aldrich), 0.01–108 μM carboplatin (Teva Pharmaceuticals, Sellersville, PA), 1–5 μM AVB-500 (Aravive), or a combination of these drugs. carboplatin and AVB-500 were dissolved in saline. paclitaxel was dissolved in DMSO for all experiments. After 72 hours, MTS (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium) solution (Promega, Madison, WI) was added to the cells (20μL/well), incubated for 2 hours, and then the absorbance was measured at 490 nm with a 96-well plate reader (Tecan infinite M200 Pro). The drug combination index (CI) (20 (link)) was calculated using CompuSyn software to assess for synergy between drugs..

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.
