Six human breast cancer cell lines including MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, MCF-7, BT-474, HCC-1954, and SK-BR-3 were obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (Rockville, MD, USA) and grown in standard medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum, 100-IU/mL penicillin, and 100-µg/mL streptomycin. Cell lines were maintained at 37℃ in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO₂. MCF-7, MDA-MB-231, and MDA-MB-468 cells were cultured in medium additionally supplemented with 1 mM sodium pyruvate, 0.1 mM nonessential amino acids, and 10-µg/mL insulin. ABT-737, docetaxel, and benzyloxycarbonyl-Val-Ala-Asp(OMe)-fluoromethylketone (z-VAD-fmk) were purchased from Selleck Chemicals (Houston, TX, USA) and solubilized in dimethyl sulfoxide obtained from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA). Reagent of 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA).

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.
