Lab Note #2 The first experiment

 

Lab note #2

Experiment date: 2020.08.28

Material: phospholipase A2 from honey bee venom (Apis mellifera), 5-Fluorouracil, colorectal cancer cell. (WIDR and HCT 15). Pipette, plate, sucker (?),

 

Before I start an experiment, I observed cells using a microscope. I could see that compared to WIDR, HCT 15 has grown a lot and more compacted. The shapes of cells were both round. Several WIDR cells were compacted together, and this made the sizes of each cell different. (I could see that compacted cells are separated from each other after I put TE buffer.)

 

1. Making stock solution

*The concentration of stock solution is determined after reading several similar studies about PLA2 and 5 FU

Concentration 5 FU-1mg/ml / PLA2-1500u/ml

(I assumed the unit of PLA2 that I bought is __, the medium of the range mentioned in the selling site)

Method:

5-FU stock solution  

1.     Measure 0.015g of 5-FU powder

2.     Using a pipette, put Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in tube filled with 0,015g of 5-FU powder (organic solvent)

3.     Mix thoroughly with a machine about 5 minutes

PLA2 stock solution

1.     Put PBS in 1mg of PLA2

2.     Mix thoroughly with a machine about 5 minutes

Finally, I stored them in refrigerator.

 

2.

The purpose of experiment was to observe (1) the impact of PLA2 on colorectal cancer cells that have EGFR mutation and those that do not have the mutation (2) the impact of 5-FU , the most common colorectal cancer drug on colorectal cancer cells that have EGFR mutation and those that do not have the mutation according to the concentration time.

The setting of the experiment is determined after reading several similar studies.

Approximate final volume: 500ul

I planned to examine the result after 72 hours later.

 

Method:

1.

RPMI 1640= glucose + buffering chemical + PH indicator+ FBS + PS

TE buffer

1.     Suck RPMI 1640.

2.     Put TE buffer and wait 7 minutes (5-10minutes)

TE buffer is for getting cells that were originally adjoined in the floor of plate.

(cells should not be with TE buffer more than 10 minutes because cell can get damage.

3.     Separate cells and TE buffer using centrifuge

4.     Suck TE butter

Leave a little amount of buffer. (Cells can be sucked together if I try to suck entire buffer)

5.     Put RPMI 1640

6.     Put 500ul of solution (RPMI 1650 + colorectal cell) in small plates.

7.     Put PLA2 and 5 FU (chart. 1)

8.     Store the completed plated in the culture medium

Being older

 Many people agree that just 'aging' doesn't mean 'being older''. In past, though I totally agreed that an increase of years people have lived isn't equal to being 'old', I couldn't define it by myself. However, now, I definitely know how old people are different from young people.  My friends in KMLA are very sensitive to what is 'wrong'. While many students in our age merely follow what the school and society says, we know how to make our voice to criticize an unreasonable thing. In a process of finding out problems and criticizing them, we improve by learning ways to convey our opinions and standards to decide what is wrong and right. I think this is what 'young people' do. They mentally develop by recognizing problems and making their own voices to fix them. They are never satisfied with what they have but try to make their situation 'best' by fixing them by their own power.  However, old people do not even try t...

Essence material

      Hye Won, who was busy adapting to a high school that she haven't gone for a year, was surprised when housemaster called her name to remind her that she didn't take her parcel. Thinking that her parents might have sent her a parcel, she went down to a lobby to take it. However, parcel was too small to say that her parents sent it since parents told her that they would send a lot of snacks in a big box. Plus, the sender's name on the box was weird - 'dung u ri deul (덩어리들)'. Since everything about the parcel was saying that it was not for her, she suspected that housemaster called a wrong name for an instant, but the recipient name on the box was definitely hers - the only name in the school. Therefore, she just decided to take it and check what it is. Maybe, she would be able to remember the parcel that she ordered a long time ago but cannot remember.      'Hello, master! It's nice to meet you :) '  A small note with this message was the first thin...

Dear FutureMe

Dear HyeWon. I want to say thank you first for taking a courage to open this letter since I know you are the person who must have been afraid of feeling sense of shame reading my expectations toward you. Don't worry, I'm not going to write anything that can put a lot on your head or hurt you. You must have gone through a lot of change during the last year. No matter what you did or accomplished, thank you for your effort. I know you are not satisfied with what you have done and feeling guilty for not doing your best on your life comparing yourself with your friends as always. But remember, life is about waiting for the right moment to act. Everyone in this world works based on their time zone. Though you feel you are far behind others, everyone is actually running their 'own' race, in their own time. Don't think that you already failed. Just continue on what you are doing and focus on yourself, not others, since you are doing everything you can do in your time zo...
