Cell Viability Assay with CCK-8

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The viability of cells was determined by Cell Counting Kit, CCK-8 (Dojindo, Japan). Briefly, cells in the exponential growth phase were harvested; suspension of 5 × 103 single cells were seeded in each well of 96-well plates and incubated at 37°C overnight. The cultures were added respectively with DMSO as vehicle control and the compound N69B of different concentrations, and grown for 24, 48 or 72 h. The cells were added with CCK-8 and incubated with for 1–2 h.
The relative number of viable cells was determined by measuring the absorbance with Multi-function microplate reader (PerkinElmer, EnSpire, America) at a wavelength of 450 nm. Triplicates were run in three independent tests.

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential and ATP Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
JC-1 mitochondrial membrane potential measurement kits (Beyotime, China) were used to measure mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). Briefly, TM3 cells (2 × 105) were resuspended in 0.5 mL JC-1 working solution and incubated at 37 °C for 20 min. The cells were washed with buffer twice and then analyzed by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences, USA). A luciferase-based enhanced ATP assay kit (Beyotime, China) was used to determine ATP levels. Briefly, the cells were washed with cold PBS in 6-well plates and lysed immediately in 200 μL lysis buffer on ice. The lysate was centrifuged at 12,000 g for 5 min. 20 μL of the supernatant was added into a 96-well plate containing 100 μL ATP detection working solution. The luminescence was detected by a multi-function microplate reader (Perkinelmer, USA). The protein concentration of each group and an ATP standard curve were used to calibrate the ATP levels in the cells. The cellular ATP levels were presented as the percentage of the level observed in the control group.

A JC-1 MMP measurement kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to measure MMP (ΔΨm). Briefly, the indicated cells (2×105) were resuspended in 0.5 mL of JC-1 working solution and incubated for 20 min. The cells were washed and analyzed by flow cytometry (Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ).
A luciferase-based enhanced ATP assay kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to determine ATP levels. Briefly, the indicated cells were lysed and centrifuged at 12,000× g for 5 min. The supernatant was added to a 96-well plate containing ATP detection working solution. Luminescence was detected by a multifunction microplate reader (Perkin Elmer, USA). The protein concentration of each group and an ATP standard curve were used to calibrate the ATP levels in the cells.

2,7-Dichlorofuorescin Diacetate (DCFH-DA) (Nanjing Jiancheng Bioengineering Institute, China) and MitoSOX Red (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) were used to measure intracellular ROS and mitochondrial superoxide production, respectively. TM3 cells exposed to cadmium for 24 h were counted and incubated in 10 μM DCFH-DA and 2.5 μM MitoSOX at 37 °C for 30 min in the dark. The cells were analyzed by a multi-function microplate reader (Perkinelmer, USA).

Evaluating H2O2 Impact on RPE Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effects of H2O2 on the viability of hRPE and ARPE-19 cells were explored by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8, Catalog No. 96992, Sigma-Aldrich) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, approximately 4000 hRPE or ARPE-19 cells were seeded in 96-well plates and allowed to adhere for 12 h. Next, gradient concentrations of H2O2 (or supplement with 0, 5, or 10 mM lutein) were added and incubated with the cells for another 48 h before WST-8 addition to each well. After incubation for another 1 h, absorbance was measured using a multifunction microplate reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA). hRPE or ARPE-19 cells cultured without any treatment were used as control.

IL-1β and IL-18 quantification in ox-LDL-induced ARPE-19 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After pretreatment with 1 μM A740003 for 2 hours, ARPE-19 cells were induced with ox-LDL for 24 hours. Then, supernatants of all groups were collected and centrifuged to detect the concentrations of IL-1β (RayBiotech, Norcross, GA, USA) and IL-18 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, CA, USA) by using human ELISA kits according to the manufacturers' protocols. The concentrations of IL-1β and IL-18 were calculated according to optical density measured at 450 nm by subtracting the optical density measured at 540 or 570 nm using a multifunction microplate reader (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA, USA).

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.
