Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The 266-6 cells were cultured in 6-well plates for 18 hours to study the effect of OOS in the cell cycle in vitro. Then, cells were treated with 1:100, 1:200, and 1:500 (V/Vf) dilutions of OOS in complete RPMI for 48 hours. The control cells were cultured with the control medium. Then, cells were trypsinized, washed once with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and fixed with 70% ethanol for 15 minutes at 4°C. Afterwards, cells were washed with PBS 3 times and incubated with propidium iodide (PI) containing FxCycle PI/RNase Solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer's indications. Finally, cell cycle changes were analyzed by flow cytometry using the Gallios cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Brea, Calif). For cell division analysis, 266-6 cells were fluorescently labeled with carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester (CFSE) by incubating at 37°C for 30 minutes before seeding them into 6-well plates. Then, cells were treated as described above for cell cycle analysis. After 48 hours, cells were trypsinized, washed in PBS, and resuspended for flow cytometry studies by Gallios cytometer (Beckman Coulter).

To evaluate the acidic pH-powered in situ assembly multivalent system for fluorescent labeling of target cells, equal DM1I, DM2I and DM3I (15 nM) were co-incubated with 1.5 × 105 target tumor cells in binding buffer (pH 7.4 or 6.3) at 37 °C for 1 h. Subsequently, it was determined by a Gallios cytometer (Beckman Coulter, USA) by counting 10,000 events.
To evaluating the binding capacity of TA-aptNC-based in situ assembly strategy at cellular level, different probes were reasonably designed, including TA-CaptNC (the mixture of CDM1I, CDM2I and CDM3I, aptamer sequence replaced by arbitrary sequences), pH-C (the mixture of DM1C, DM2C and DM3C, split i-motif sequence substituted by pH-insensitive sequence), pH-aptDM (the corresponding monovalent probe) and TA-aptNC (the mixture of DM1I, DM2I and DM3I). These probes were respectively treated with the target cells and then determined by a Gallios cytometer (Beckman Coulter, USA).

The data were acquired with a Gallios™ Cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL, USA) in the CCiT-UB and assessed by the Flowjo v10 software (Tree Star, Inc., Ashland, OR, USA). Results are expressed as percentages of positive cells in the lymphocyte population, selected according to their forward-scatter characteristics (FSC) and side-scatter characteristics (SSC).

Evaluating Chemoresistance in Pancreatic Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human pancreatic cancer cells were cultured in a complete medium for 24 hours in 6-well plates at 3 × 105 cells/well concentration. Once the cells were attached, the old medium was replaced with fresh medium for control condition or with 1:2 diluted fibroblast CM for the chemoresistance studies and incubated for 24 hours. Afterward, cells were treated with OOS 1:50 (V/Vf), combined with 1 μM paclitaxel and 1 μM gemcitabine diluted in fresh medium or fibroblast CM for 48 hours. Then, cells were washed, trypsinized, pelleted by centrifugation, washed again with PBS, and double stained with the annexin V–fluorescein isothiocyanate apoptosis detection kit and PI following manufacturer's instructions (both purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific). Finally, apoptosis was determined by the Gallios cytometer (Beckman Coulter). Note that the HPAF-II cell line was not included in this assay because of the high levels of cell death during the process.

Multiparameter Flow Cytometry Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Multi‐dimensional flow cytometric acquisition was performed using a Gallios cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL). An effort was made to acquire a total of 1 million events per sample at rates not exceeding 3000 events/second. For DAPI staining, photomultiplier tubes were gain optimized for linear (cell cycle) detection of 2N cells 12, 13, 14. The cytometer was calibrated to predetermined photomultiplier target channels prior to each use using SpectrAlign beads (DAKO, Cat. No. KO111) and 8‐peak Rainbow Calibration Particles (Spherotech, Libertyville, IL, Cat. No. RCP‐30‐5A). Offline compensation and analyses were performed using VenturiOne software designed for multidimensional rare event problems (Applied Cytometry, Dinnington, Sheffield, U.K.). Spectral compensation matrices were calculated for each experiment using single‐stained mouse IgG capture beads (Becton Dickinson, Cat. No. 552843) for each tandem antibody and hard stained beads (Calibrite, BD) for single molecule dyes (Becton Dickinson, FITC, PE [Cat.No. 349502], APC [Cat.No. 340487]).

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.
