Dissolve 1 mg MKT-077 in 0.2315 mL DMSO to obtain 10 mM of MKT-077 .
Note: It is recommended to store the stock solution at -20 °C -80 °C away from light and avoid repetitive freeze-thaw cycles.
1.2 Preparation of MKT-077 working solution
Dilute the stock solution in serum-free cell culture medium or PBS to obtain 5-10 μM of MKT-077 working solution.
Note: Please adjust the concentration of MKT-077 working solution according to the actual situation.
Cell staining
2.1 Cell preparation.
For suspension cells: Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
For adherent cells: Discard the cell culture medium, and add trypsin to dissociate cells to make a single-cell suspension. Centrifuge at 1000 g at 4°C for 3-5 minutes and then discard the supernatant. Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.2 Add 1 mL of MKT-077 working solution, and then incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2.3 Centrifuge at 400 g at 4°C for 3-4 minutes and then discard the supernatant.
2.4 Wash twice with PBS, 5 minutes each time.
2.5 Resuspend cells with serum-free cell culture medium or PBS, and then detect by fluorescence microscope or flow cytometer.

Protokoll
Cells are incubated with 1 µM MKT-077 and 100 nM Mitotracker Green FM in culture medium for 30 minutes at 37°C in the dark, washed with PBS, switched into phenol-red free medium before visualizing fluorescence under a microscope. Pictures are acquired and processed with software. For flow cytometric measurement, MKT-077-treated cells are resuspended in 0.1% bovine serum albumin/PBS and analyzed by flow cytometry. Data from 20,000 cells are analyzed using FCS Express software[1].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
The 1×107 TT cells in 200 µL Hank's balanced salt solution are inoculated subcutaneously into the rear flanks of 6-week-old female athymic nude (nu/nu) mice. Once palpable, tumors are measured using calipers at intervals indicated in the text. When tumor volume reaches 100 mm3, mice are sorted into groups of 8 to achieve equal distribution of tumor size in all treatment groups. Group 1 receives only the vehicle (1:9 mixture of DMSO/saline) and group 2 receives MKT-077 (10 mg/kg body weight/dose). A 200 µL of ether solution is administered by intraperitoneal injection every 2 days (total 10 doses). At the end of the experiments, animals are euthanized by CO2 asphyxiation[1].
