Salmonella-Based β-Lactamase Translocation Assay

The β-lactamase translocation assay was performed as previously described (18 (link)). Briefly, HeLa cells, seeded in black-walled 96-well plates (BD Biosciences), were infected with Salmonella containing pWSK29-Spec (7 (link)) encoding TEM1-tagged effectors (Table S2) at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 100. Infected cells were centrifuged at 500 g for 5 min and incubated for 60 min at 37°C and 5% CO2. The culture medium was replaced with 100 μl of 3 mM probenecid (Sigma-Aldrich), 20 mM Hepes in HBSS (Gibco), and 20 μl CCF2-AM LiveBLAzer-FRET B/G Loading Kit (Invitrogen) and incubated at room temperature, in the dark until 3 h postinfection. The cells were washed before the fluorescence was measured using a FLUOstar Optima plate reader (BMG Labtech) with an excitation wavelength of 410 nm and emission wavelengths of 450 and 520 nm. Response ratios were calculated by first subtracting the average background fluorescence for both 450 and 520 nm wavelengths from the fluorescence reading for each sample. The ratio of fluorescence at 450 nm to fluorescence at 520 nm for each sample was then divided by the uninfected ratio of fluorescence at these wavelengths.

Bcr-TMP Cytotoxicity Evaluation

Cell viability was determined by MTT assays. After incubating the cells for 24 h with Bcr-TMP, MTT solution (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA, USA) was added and incubated for 4 h. The insoluble formazan product was then dissolved in DMSO and the absorbance was measured at 570 nm with a microplate photometer (MPP 4008, Mikrotek, Overath, Germany). Proliferation assays of ACC cells were carried out as follows. Approximately 4000 cells were seeded per well in black-walled 96-well plates (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and then treated with desired concentrations of Bcr-TMP or DMSO as control; 72 h later the cells were assayed with Alamar blue reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Apoptosis assays were carried out using approximately 8000 ACC cells per well of a white-walled 96-well plate (BD) and subsequently treated for 24 h with DMSO or Bcr-TMP. Apoptosis was then assayed with the Caspase-Glo 3/7 reagent (Promega, Madison, WI, USA).

Optical Imaging of Fluorescent Probes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Optical imaging was performed on a PerkinElmer IVIS Lumina II. For open filter measurements, an exposure time of 30 seconds was used with large binning and f/stop=1. For selective emission filter measurements, the exposure time was 60 seconds. The Lumina has 4 emission filters with wavelengths 515-575, 575-650, 695-770 and 810-875 nm. The heater plate was set to room temperature to minimize evaporation. Black walled 96-well plates (BD Biosciences) were filled with 200 μL of probe at the indicated activities and concentrations. For pH imaging, the pH of the solution was adjusted using 0.1 M acetate (pH 4-5.5), MES (pH 5.5-6.5), phosphate (pH 6.5-8), Trizma (pH 8-9), borate (pH 9-10) or carbonate (pH 10-11) buffers. For switching experiments, the pH was adjusted using 1M HCl or NaOH. For phantom experiments, a 1-cm3 acrylic phantom (Data Spectrum Corporation) was filled with 18F-FDG and imaged under the same conditions. Image quantification was performed using Living Image software (PerkinElmer) by drawing regions of interest (ROIs) around each well and determining the radiance. A radioactive decay constant was applied to all data except for pH switching experiments to account for the time between plating and imaging.

HUVECs were transfected 48 h before the assay. Cells were transferred to black-walled 96-well plates (Falcon) 4 h before the assay and incubated with EBM or 200nM Staurosporine (Sigma Aldrich) for 4 h. Caspase 3/7 activity was assayed according to the manufacturer´s protocol for ApoOne® Homogenous Caspase 3/7 Assay (Promega). Fluorescence was measured with Glomax Multi plate reader (Promega).

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.
