Cell counting kit 8 solution

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China, United States

The Cell Counting Kit-8 solution is a colorimetric assay for the determination of cell viability and cytotoxicity. The kit utilizes the water-soluble tetrazolium salt WST-8, which is reduced by dehydrogenases in living cells to produce a yellow-colored formazan dye. The amount of the formazan dye generated is directly proportional to the number of living cells.

At 24 h post-transfection, cells were harvested and seeded at 5×103 per well onto a 96-well plate. Cell proliferation was determined at day 1, 2, 3 and 4. According to the manufacturer's protocol, 10 µl Cell Counting Kit (CCK)-8 solution (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) was used for each coloring reaction. After a further incubation at 37°C for 2 h, the absorbance at 450 nm was quantified using a plate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). Each experiment was performed in triplicate independently.

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were purchased from the Cell Bank of the Type Culture Collection of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai Institute of Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, cultivated in endothelial cell medium. and divided into control, H2O2, and H2O2+ PDGF groups. The cells were pre-treated with PDGF (5 ng/mL) for 2 hours before stimulation with 200 μM of H2O2. The H2O2 concentration was based on our previous research report (Wang et al., 2018). Cell viability was assessed by Cell Counting Kit-8 solution (Beyotime) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Pericytes (Shanghai Zhong Qiao Xin Zhou Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China) were added to 96-well plates, and the serum was depleted for 24 hours. The cells were then incubated with the indicated concentration of PDGF for 48 hours. Next, 10 μL of Cell Counting Kit-8 solution was added to each well, followed by incubation for 1 hour. The absorbance was measured at a wavelength of 450 nm using a microplate reader (Molecular Devices). Each experiment was performed in triplicate.

RIMVECs were seeded in a 96-well cell culture plate at a concentration of 1 × 105 cells/well in 100 μL DMEM per well. When the cells reached 80% confluency, they were treated with MCC950 at different concentrations (0, 0.05, 0.5, 5, 10, and 50 μM), according to a previous report (30 (link)) and incubated for 12 h. Cell viability was measured using Cell Counting Kit-8 solution (Beyotime Biotechnology), as explained in the paragraph of cell viability. As regards the viability under different treatments, cells were seeded in a 6-well plate at a concentration of 1 × 105 cells/well in 200 μL DMEM per well. When the cells reached 80% confluency, they were divided into the following groups: control group (no treatment), model group (10 μg/mL LPS 24 h followed by 1 mM ATP 4 h), treatment groups (10 μg/mL LPS simultaneous to quercetin 10 μM 24 h followed by 1 mM ATP 4 h), and MCC950 group (5 μM MCC950 1 h according to the manufacturer’s instructions and then 10 μg/mL LPS 24 h followed by 1 mM ATP 4 h). The protein expression of NLRP3, caspase-1, ASC, GSDMD, ZO-1, claudin-1, claudin-2, IL-1β, IL-18, and IL-6 was evaluated by western blot as explained in the related paragraph.

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.
