Quantifying VEGF Secretion in Cancer Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four cancer cell lines were transfected with either SiC, siLOX, or siSNAI2 in 6-well plates and grown for 48 hours; next, they were washed in PBS and incubated in a low-serum medium (DMEM, 0.5% FBS) for 24 hours. The conditioned medium was then centrifuged at 1,500 rpm for 5 minutes, and the supernatants were collected, whereas the cells were harvested in cell lysis buffer. The concentration of VEGF in the supernatants was determined by ELISA using a Quantikine Human VEGF Immunoassay kit (R&D Systems), according to the manufacturer's protocol. The color intensity was determined by measuring the absorbance in a SpectraMax M5 spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices) at a wavelength of 450 nm with correction at 540 nm. The VEGF concentration was normalized to the total protein. VEGF release was then expressed as μg of VEGF/mg of total protein.

VEGF Secretion Inhibition by CHSP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The effect of CHSP on VEGF protein secretion was analyzed by ELISA with a Quantikine Human VEGF Immunoassay kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), targeting VEGF165 in the cell culture supernatant. OVACAR-3 cells (6 × 105) were seeded in 60-mm cell culture dishes and grown for 16 h at 37 °C before treatment with various concentrations of CHSP (5–40 μg/mL) or DMSO (as vehicle) for 24 h. Culture supernatants were collected for the VEGF assay. The inhibition of VEGF protein secretion was expressed as a percentage of the control. Cell lysates were also assayed for total protein levels using a BCA protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) to adjust VEGF levels.

The effect of GA on VEGF protein secretion was analyzed by ELISA with a Quantikine Human VEGF Immunoassay kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), targeting VEGF165 in the cell culture supernatant. Cells (6×105) were seeded in 60-mm cell culture dishes and allowed to attach to the substrate and grow for 16 h at 37°C before treatment with various concentrations of GA for 24 h. Culture supernatants were collected for the VEGF assay. The inhibition of VEGF protein secretion was expressed as a percentage of the control. Cell lysates were also assayed for total protein levels using the BCA protein assay kit (Pierce, Rockford, IL, USA) to adjust VEGF levels.

The effects of the nine compounds on VEGF protein secretion were analyzed by performing an ELISA with a Quantikine Human VEGF immunoassay kit (R&D Systems, Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA), targeting VEGF165 in the cell culture supernatant. Cells (6×105) from the two cell lines were seeded in 60-mm cell culture dishes and allowed to attach to the substrate and grow for 16 h prior to treatment with 40 μM of each compound or without, which served as a control, for an additional 24 h. The culture supernatants were collected for the VEGF assay and the inhibition of VEGF protein secretion was expressed as a percentage of the control.

Secreted vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein levels were analyzed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with a Quantikine Human VEGF Immunoassay Kit from R&D Systems (Minneapolis, MN) targeting VEGF in cell culture supernates. Cells (104/well) were seeded into 96-well plates and incubated for 16 h before being treated with 0 to 160 μg/ml nobiletin in triplicates for 24 h with DMSO as solvent control. Culture supernates were collected for VEGF assay. VEGF levels were determined following the manufacturer's instructions. A total of 3 independent experiments, each in triplicates, were assayed, and the mean VEGF protein level from each duplicate was used for statistical analysis.

Quantitative VEGF Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Culture medium was assayed for VEGF concentration using the Quantikine® Human VEGF Immunoassay Kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Cell culture medium was collected and supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum (Hyclone) before storage at -20°C for maintaining the stability of VEGF. All reagents and standards were freshly prepared and added during the assay as instructed by the manufacturer. The concentration of VEGF was measured by the color intensity of solutions using a microplate reader (Bio-Tek) at 450 nm and 570 nm, respectively. Readings at 570 nm were subtracted from the readings at 450 nm to allow correction for optical imperfections. VEGF concentrations were obtained by comparing the corresponding readings with those of the standard curve using known concentrations of VEGF. Assays were repeated in duplicate.

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.
