Intracellular Calcium Assay for AsPC-1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intracellular
calcium concentration
of AsPC-1 cells was measured using the FLIPR-4 calcium assay reagent
(Cat # R8142, Molecular Devices, San Jose, CA). In brief, cells were
plated in black-walled clear-bottom 96-well plates overnight at ∼80%
confluency using media and conditions described in Methods. Culture media was then removed and cells were incubated
for 1 h at 37 °C, 5% CO2 in FLIPR-4 loading buffer,
consisting of FLIPR-4 reagent diluted (as per the manufacturer’s
instructions) in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) (with
calcium and magnesium) buffered with 20 mM N-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine-N′-ethanesulfonic acid and 0.2% bovine serum albumin,
with pH adjusted to 7.4. Loading buffer also contained probenecid
(2.50 mM, Sigma-Aldrich, Cat # P8761) to prevent leakage of the calcium
reagent from the cells. Calcium response was then measured via a FlexStation
3 Multi-Mode Microplate Reader (Molecular Devices). GPCR agonists
were added, and response in relative fluorescence units was measured
over 105 s for each well, yielding data for peak response and kinetics
of response. For calcium assays and wound-healing assays, we used
the following GPCR agonists: Neurotensin (Cat # 1909, Tocris, Minneapolis,
MN); 2-Thio-UTP (Cat # 3280, Tocris); histamine (Cat # AAJ6172703,
Fischer Scientific); oxytocin (Cat # 1910, Tocris); and sulprostone
(Cat # 14765, Cayman Chemical).

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.
