Plasmepsin II-III copy number accounts for bimodal piperaquine resistance among Cambodian Plasmodium falciparum

Drug susceptibility was measured using the SYBR Green I method as previously described44 [/articles/s41467-018-04104-z#ref-CR44]. In brief, tightly synchronized 0–6 h rings were grown for 72 h in the presence of different concentrations of drugs in 384-clear-bottom well plates at 1% hematocrit, 1% starting parasitemia and 40 μl of 0.5% Albumax culture media. Growth at 72 h was measured by SYBR Green I (Lonza, Visp, Switzerland) staining of parasite DNA. A 24-point dilution of PPQ (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and a 12-point dilution series of the rest of the drugs (DHA, ART, AS, MEF, and LUM; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) were carried out in triplicate and repeated with at least three biological replicates. Drug stocks were resuspended in dimethyl sulfoxide except for CQ prepared in 0.1% Triton X-100 in water and PPQ prepared in 0.1% Triton X-100 and 0.5% lactic acid in water to ensure complete dissolution, as lactic acid enhanced PPQ solubility45 [/articles/s41467-018-04104-z#ref-CR45]. Drugs dispensed by a HP D300 Digital Dispenser (Hewlett Packard Palo Alto, CA), with the Triton X-100 enhancing dispensing of aqueous drug stocks. Relative fluorescence units was measured at an excitation of 494 nm and emission of 530 nm on a SpectraMax M5 (Molecular Devices Sunnyvale, CA) and analyzed using GraphPad Prism version 7 (GraphPad Software La Jolla, CA). EC50 values were determined with the curve-fitting algorithm log(inhibitor) vs. response–Variable slope except for PPQ. PPQs bimodal dose–response would not allow for any curve-fitting hence susceptibility was measured by calculating the area under the second response curve (AUC). AUC was calculated by fitting a six-dimensional least-square polynomial equation to each sample’s dose–response curve and integrating the fitted equation over the region corresponding to the second response curve. These equations were fit to the data using the polyfit module in NumPy, a fundamental package for scientific computing using Python. We chose to use a six-dimensional least-square polynomial equation because it captures the dynamics of the second response curve better than equations with fewer dimensions. Using equations with dimensions > 6 do not result in major differences in calculated AUC values. In fact, AUC values calculated using the boundaries identified by our equation fitting method (0.10 μM – 30 μM) gave roughly the same result. The boundaries of the second response curve were determined by identifying the drug concentration corresponding to the average local minima before and after the second response curve across all drug-assayed samples

Proliferation Markers Are Associated with MET Expression in Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Predict Tivantinib Sensitivity In Vitro

cells were treated with 5 concentrations of each compound (10-fold dilution from 0.001 to 10 mmol/L in duplicates) using the HP D300 digital dispenser (Tecan). Cell viability was measured 48 hours after drug treatment by colorimetric MTS assay following the supplier's recommendations (Promega). Each experiment was repeated at least twice for each cell line, and results were normalized on untreated cells. Curve fitting of dose–response data was performed using GraphPad Prism 6 Software, and the two following classical parameters representative of drug sensitivity were derived: (i) the GI50 corresponding to the concentration of drug that inhibits 50% of cell viability and (ii) the AUC corresponding to the area under the dose–response curve that provides an overall measure of cumulative response. When the GI50 was not reached, the values were set to the highest concentration tested (10 mmol/L)

High-Order Drug Combinations Are Required to Effectively Kill Colorectal Cancer Cells

For pairwise and triple combinations, compound doses were combined at a fixed ratio of 1:1 and 1:1:1, respectively (17). DMSO concentrations were normalized per well. In addition, vehicle (DMSO) and positive controls (staurosporine) were transferred. All treatments were performed in triplicates. One of the replicates received 50 nL of 2 mmol/L CellEvent Caspase-3/7 Green Detection Reagent (Thermo) using a HP D300 dispenser (Tecan). Cells were treated for 72 to 96 hours. Caspase-3/7 activity was imaged every 24 hours. At the end of the treatment, cells were fixed, and their DNA was stained and imaged (18, 19). High-order experiments combining more than 3 drugs were also setup with fixed ratios but only testing 4 dose points. To validate synergies of MDM2 combinations, matrices were tested to assess effects at different ratios of the single agents
