Cell death was measured by flow cytometry after annexin V-FITC/ propidium iodide staining, according to manufacturer’s instructions (eBioscience, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Cell lines with a high expression of the multidrug efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) according to the cellMiner database [15 (link)] were co-treated with a Pgp inhibitor to avoid the bias of drug efflux during the assessment of toxicity. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) quantification was performed with 10 µM H2DCF-DA (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or 1 µM MitoSOX™ Red (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). In total, 1 µM tariquidar and 50 µM MK571 (Selleckchem) were added to the medium to inhibit fluorescent compound efflux by ABC transporters. The mitochondrial membrane potential was measured after incubation of cells in phenol red-free medium with 5 µM JC1 (Invitrogen) and 1 µM tariquidar. Cytochrome c release was measured by flow cytometry using the Cytochrome c Release Apoptosis Assay Kit (Millipore).

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.
