[25 (link)] were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO). A Cell Counting Kit 8 (CCK8) was purchased from Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc. (Kumamoto, Japan), and the Alexa Fluor 488 annexin V/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit was obtained Invitrogen (Carlsbad, CA). Rabbit polyclonal antibodies directed against PAFR, cleaved-caspase3, cleaved-PARP, phospho/total- EGFR, phospho/total- β-arrestin2, phospho/total- P70S6K, phospho/total- AKT, phospho/total- 4EBP1, and phospho/total- ERK were used in this study. All of these antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology Co. Mouse monoclonal antibodies directed against actin were also used (Sigma, Missouri, USA).

EP powder was purchased from Waken Btech, Co., Ltd. (Kyoto, Japan), and the solution was prepared by diluting the powder in 0.1% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan). To prepare inactive EP (negative control), 1 mM EP solution was incubated at 37°C with a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA) for 24 h. Catalase (CAT; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Industries), and superoxide dismutase (SOD; Nippon Kayaku Co., Tokyo, Japan) were dissolved in distilled water to a final concentration of 10,000 U/ml, aliquoted, and stored at 4°C. WEB2086 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was prepared by dissolving 1 mg in 220 μl of DMSO then 1.98 ml of PBS (−) was added to reach a final concentration of 10 mM (and a DMSO concentration of 10%). Sodium azide (NaN3) was obtained from FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical Industries and dissolved in medium to prepare the desired final concentration. 0.143 mg of MnTMPyP (Calbiochem, Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) was dissolved in medium to a final concentration of 10 μM for all experiments, and the remaining solution was aliquoted and stored at −20°C. Effective concentrations and incubation times for inhibitors, ROS scavengers, et cetera, were decided in consideration of toxicity using cell viability assay.

Ovarian Cancer Cell Line Maintenance and Transfection

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ovarian cancer cell lines CAOV3 and SKOV3 (obtained from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Science, Shanghai, China) were maintained at 37°C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere in RPMI-1640 medium with 10% fetal calf serum (Gibco, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), 100 IU/ml penicillin G, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Cells were serum starved by incubation in serum-free medium for 12–24 hours before the start of the experiments. Lipofectamine 2000 Transfection Reagent and Opti-MEM-1 Medium (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) were used for plasmid and siRNA transfection. The vector encoding cPLA2 and cPLA2-targeted siRNA were synthesized by Shanghai GenePharma Co. AG1478 (EGFR inhibitor) [20 (link)] and WEB2086 (PAFR inhibitor) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St Louis, MO). PD98059 (ERK inhibitor) and LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor) were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Boston, MA). Rabbit polyclonal antibodies that were used in this study were directed against phospho/total-EGFR, phospho/total-PLCβ, phospho/total-cPLA2, phospho/total-Akt, and phospho/total-ERK. All the antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology Co. The mouse monoclonal antibodies that were used in this study were directed against actin (Sigma, Missouri, USA).

The OCC lines OVCA433, RMUG-L, 3AO, OMC685, TOV112D, and DOV13 were kindly provided by Bin Ye (Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, Laboratory of Gynecologic Oncology and Epidemiology, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA). These cell lines, along with SKOV3 and ES-2 cells (purchased from the Cell Bank of the Chinese Academy of Science, Shanghai, China), were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere in Roswell Park Memorial Institute-1640 (RPMI-1640) medium with 10% foetal calf serum (Gibco, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) (serum-free medium was used when measuring the concentration of PAF in the medium), 100 IU/ml penicillin G, and 100 mg/ml streptomycin sulfate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). MSCs (purchased from Cyagen Biosciences, Guangzhou, China) were cultured at 37 °C in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere in adult bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) complete medium. PAF, ginkgolide B (GB), and WEB2086 (PAFR antagonist) were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Human and mouse PAF enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were purchased from Groundwork Biotechnology Diagnosticate (San Diego, CA).

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.
