The harvested cells were lysed in ice-cold reporter lysis buffer. The lysate was centrifuged at 12,000×g for 10 min. Fluorescence intensity of GFP in 100 µl supernatant was measured using a VICTOR X5 2030 Multilabel Plate Reader (PerkinElmer) at an excitation wavelength of 488 nm and emission wavelength of 535 nm. The autofluorescence of the uninfected lysate was detected as background and subtracted from measurements of the EGFP-STIV-infected lysates.

KLHL14 Depletion Impacts Cell Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess proliferation, we performed MTS colorimetric assays in KLHL14-depleted and control-transfected NCI-H2052 and NCI-H2452 cells, stimulated or not with TGF-β. Briefly, 2 × 103 cells/well were plated into 96-well microplates and starved for 24 h prior to TGF-β exposure. CellTiter® AQueous One Solution (Promega Corporation Madison, WI, USA) was used following supplier's guidelines. Cell growth was determined by the amount of formazan produced, analyzed by measuring the absorbance at 492 nm in a PerkinElmer VICTOR X5 2030 Multilabel plate reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA). The analysis was carried out at least in triplicates and the experiments performed 3 times.
For colony formation assay, 1 × 103 NTC or KLHL14-depleted cells/well were seeded onto 6-well plates in complete media, allowed to attach and incubated until colonies were formed. Approximately 6–8 days after, colonies were subsequently washed with PBS, fixed with absolute methanol, and stained at room temperature for 30 min with crystal violet solution prepared at 0.5% in 25% methanol and 75% distilled water. Colonies were then additionally washed with PBS, dry and counted manually for statistical analysis.

Evaluating Cell Viability with Resazurin

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We determined cell viability by the resazurin reagent. For this purpose, CO 88BV59-1 and normal B cells (1×105) were added to each well in 96-well culture plates treated with vincristine (0.05–50 μM) and crocin (0.2–200 μM) up to 72 h. Next, 20 μl of the resazurin reagent was added to each well, and the plates were incubated for 4 h. The fluorescence intensity of the product resorufin, proportional to the number of viable cells per well, was measured via a fluorescence Victor X5 2030 Multilabel Plate Reader (Perkin Elmer, Shelton, Connecticut) with excitation at 530 nm and emission at 590 nm.16 (link)

Caspase 3/7 and 8 activities in livers were measured using the Caspase-Glo assay kit (Promega) as previously described.29 (link) Briefly, livers were homogenized in 25 mM of HEPES buffer, pH7.5 containing 5 mM of MgCl2, 1 mM of EGTA, 1 mM of PMSF, and 1 μg/mL of each pepstatin, leupeptin, and aprotinin. Activities were measured by adding peptide substrates containing DEVD or LEHD sequences cleaved by caspase 3 and caspase 8, respectively, to cytosolic proteins in a white-walled 96-well plate. Luminescence was measured in a plate-reading luminometer (Perkin Elmer Victor X5 2030 multilabel plate reader).

Cell Viability Assay for Drug Screening

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
4,000 cells/well (2,000 cells/well for A204/DasR) were seeded into a 96-well plate (Greiner Bio-One, Kremsmunster, Austria) and incubated for 24 hr at 37°C, 5% CO2. After that, medium (5% FBS) containing drugs or vehicle controls was added to the cells and incubated for an additional 72 hr. Cell viability was measured using CellTiter-Glo (Promega), using a Victor X5 2030 Multilabel plate reader (Perkin Elmer). Cisplatin was obtained from Cayman Chemical Company, doxorubicin from LC Labs, and rapamycin from Calbiochem (San Diego, CA, USA). Additional growth assays were carried out using a ViCell Cell Viability Analyzer (Beckman Coulter). Briefly, 125,000 cells were seeded on 60-mm dishes in media containing 10% FCS. Cells were treated for 3–5 days with different drug concentrations in media containing no serum. Following treatment, viability was assessed using the trypan blue exclusion method. Each condition has been measured in triplicate.

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.
