Inc.), sodium pyruvate and penicillin-streptomycin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Cells were transfected with miR-10b-5p or NC mimic in 35-mm dishes (50,000 cells/dish). Subsequently, 1.6 and 0.6% agar solutions were prepared using agar powder (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Corporation) diluted with PBS. Prewarmed 2X MEM and melted 1.6% agar solution were mixed (1:1 ratio) and transferred into six-well plates to form the bottom agar layer. Then, a total of 24 h post-transfection, the cells were trypsinized and resuspended in a prewarmed 2X MEM. The cell suspension and melted 0.6% agar solution were mixed (1:1 ratio) and placed on the bottom agar layer (3,000 cells/well). The cells were incubated with culture medium for 14 days in a humidified incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2. Then, cells were stained with 0.01% crystal violet for 1 h at room temperature, and the colonies (>50 cells) were manually counted.

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.
