Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synchronization of HeLa cells was either done by a single 2 mM thymidine (Sigma-Aldrich, T1895) arrest for 24 h (Figs 1, 2a,b, 3d, 4a,c, 5c–e,g and 6 and Supplementary Figs 1c, 2b, 3C–E, 4C–D, 5A) or a double-thymidine arrest (22 h arrest followed after 9 h by a 17 h arrest (Figs 2d, 3a–c and 5a,f and Supplementary Figs 3a, 4a and 5b). After washout drugs were added: 1 μM Nocodazole (M1404, Sigma-Aldrich), 0.1 μM BI2536 (S1109, Selleck), 10 μM QVD (SML0063, Sigma-Aldrich), 0.5 μM reversine (BML-SC104, Enzo Life Sciences), 2.5 μM (in Fig. 7) or 1 μM (in all other Figures) ABT-737 (S1002, Selleck) were added. Dimethyl sulfoxide (D5879, Sigma-Aldrich) was used as solvent control. G2 time points were harvested after 8 h and the first mitotic time point (‘M') 11 h after release from thymidine arrest. All mitotic time points were harvested by shake-off. Doxycycline (D9891, Sigma-Aldrich) was used in the indicated concentrations. Staurosporine (S-9300, LC Laboratories) was used on asynchronous cells for 4 h at 1 μM.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The mouse myoblast cell line C2C12 was maintained in a growth state in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) (Gibco by Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 1 g l−1 glucose, 1% l-glutamine and 1% penicillin/streptomycin supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS). NIH3T3 cells were maintained in DMEM containing 4.5 g l−1 glucose, 1% l-glutamine and 1% penicillin/streptomycin supplemented with 20% FBS. Cells were grown in a 5% CO2 cell culture incubator at 37°C. Differentiation stimuli were induced by exchanging media with 2% HS instead of 20% FBS.
C2C12 myoblasts were arrested in S phase by thymidine (Sigma-Aldrich, T1895) and in G2 phase by Cdk1 inhibitor (RO-3306, Sigma-Aldrich, SML0569) for 48 h. A single treatment of thymidine was applied, while additional RO-3306 was added at intervals of 8–12 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human cervical cancer cells (HeLa), BJ human fibroblasts and human osteosarcoma cells (U2OS) were purchased from ATCC repository. Hela 1.3 cells are a gift from Titia de Lange27 (link). BJ EHLT (hTERT immortalized, SV40 LT antigen transformed) were obtained by retroviral transduction of BJ cells with hTERT (Addgene plasmid #1773) and Large T SV40 antigen (Addgene plasmid # 21826). Cells were maintained in Dulbecco Modified Eagle Medium supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, and antibiotics. In synchronization experiments, cells were seeded at 40% confluence and exposed to 2 mM thymidine (T-1895, SIGMA) for 16 h (I block), followed by 8 h release in fresh medium, and again exposed to 2 mM thymidine for additional 16 h (II block). Then cells were released in fresh medium and collected by trypsinization at different time points for further analysis. RNAi was performed by transfecting cells 2 days before synchronization at 20% confluence with 5 nM siRNA (scrambled sequence, two different sequences against PARP1, WRN and TRF1: PARP1 siRNA Origene SR300098B/C, TRF1 siRNA Origene SR322000B/C, SCR siRNA Origene SR30004, WRN siRNA ORIGENE SR322215B/C and POLYPLUS INTERFERIN #409-10 as Transfection reagent).

For immunoprecipitation, MCF7 cells and 293T cells were treated with thymidine (2 mm, #T1895; Sigma‐Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 18 h and released into fresh medium for 10 h and then blocked with 2 mm thymidine again for 18 h. After that, the cells were released into fresh medium for 2 h and treated with nocodazole (0.1 μg·mL−1, #M1404; Sigma‐Aldrich) for 10 h. Then the mitotic cells were collected for immunoprecipitation.
For analysis of flow cytometry and western blot, SUM159PT cells, MCF7 cells, and 293T cells were treated with nocodazole (0.1 μg·mL−1, #M1404; Sigma‐Aldrich) for 10 h and released into nocodazole‐free medium; then the cells were collected at the indicated time for further analysis.

Synchronizing HCT-116-RAD21-AID Cells for Experimentation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HCT-116-RAD21-AID cells were obtained from Natsume et al.39 (link). The cells were cultured in McCoy’s 5A medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/ml penicillin, and 100 μg/ml streptomycin at 37°C with 5% CO2. Cells were selected with 100 μg/ml G418 and 100 μg/ml HygroGold prior to experiments.
To avoid heterogeneity due to cell cycle, HCT-116-RAD21-AID cells were synchronized at the G1/S transition. First, to arrest cells in the S-phase, cells were grown in medium supplemented with 2 mM thymidine (Sigma-Aldrich T1895) for 12 hours. Cells were then resuspended in medium and allowed to grow for 12 hours to exit S-phase. To arrest at the G1/S transition, we grew cells in medium supplemented 400 μM mimosine (Sigma-Aldrich M025) for 12 hours. Lastly, we replaced medium with either 400 μM mimosine + 500 μM indole-3-acetic acid (auxin; Sigma-Aldrich I5148)-supplemented medium to degrade RAD21 or 400 μM mimosine-supplemented medium alone as an untreated control; cells were incubated with or without auxin for 6 hours then harvested for experiments. Synchronization was confirmed by IF (Extended Data Fig. 2a).

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.
