Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Levels of glutathione (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) were assess using a GSH-Glo™ Glutathione Assay (Promega, Madison, WI). The protocol (384-well format) was modified from the manufacturer’s protocol (96-well format, Promega V6911). In brief, 2.5 µl of unclarified lung lavage samples (in duplicate) were treated with 2.5 µl GSH-Glo reagent with or without TCEP (final concentration = 1 mM). Following a 30 min incubation at room temperature, luciferin detection reagent (5 µl) was added, and luminescence signals were recorded on a plate reader (PerkinElmer EnVision 2104, 700 nm, 0.5 s exposure) 15 min later. For reactive oxygen species (ROS), samples were tested using a ROS-Glo Assay (Promega). Lung lavage samples were prepared as described above for GSH-Glo assays. Following a 60 min incubation at room temperature, luciferin detection reagent (5 µl) was added, and luminescence signals were recorded on a plate reader (PerkinElmer EnVision 2104, 700 nm, 0.5 s exposure) 20 min later.

AlphaScreen Assay for Brd4 Inhibitor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Assays were performed with minor modifications from the manufacturer’s protocol (Perkin Elmer, USA). All reagents were diluted in AlphaScreen™ buffer (50 mM HEPES, 150 mM NaCl, 0.01% v/v Tween-20, 0.1% w/v BSA, pH = 7.4). After addition of Alpha beads to master solutions, all subsequent steps were performed under low light conditions. A 2x solution of components with final concentrations of His-Brd4(1) at 0.020 μM, Ni-coated Acceptor Bead at 10 μg/ml, and biotinylated-(+)-JQ1 at 0.010 μM were added in 10 μL to 384-well plates (AlphaPlate-384, PerkinElmer) using an EL406 liquid handler (Biotek, USA). Plates were spun down at 1000 rpm. A 10-point 1: 3 serial dilution of compounds in DMSO was prepared at 200x the final concentration. 100 nL of compound from these stock plates were added by pin transfer using a Janus Workstation (PerkinElmer). A 2x solution of streptavidin-coated donor beads with a final concentration of 10 μg/ml was added in a 10 μL volume. The plates were spun down again at 1000 rpm and sealed with foil to prevent light exposure and evaporation. The plates were then incubated at room temperature for 1 h and read on an Envision 2104 (PerkinElmer) using the manufacturer’s protocol. IC50 values were calculated using a 4-parameter logistic curve in Prism 6 (GraphPad Software, USA) after normalization to DMSOtreated negative control wells (0.2% DMSO, v/v).

Plates are spun down at 150×g, 100 nL of compound in DMSO from stock plates are added by pin transfer using a Janus Workstation (PerkinElmer, USA). The streptavidin-coated donor beads (10 μg/mL final) are added as with previous the solution in a 2×, 10 μL volume. Following this addition, plates are sealed with foil to prevent light exposure and evaporation. The plates are spun down again at 150×g. Plates are incubated at room temperature for 1 hour and then read on an Envision 2104 (PerkinElmer, USA) using the manufacturer's protocol. The data are analyzed using PRISM Graphpad v6 to obtain IC50 values.

Cytotoxicity Evaluation of Compounds on Primary Human Hepatocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Potential cytotoxicity of all compounds in each cell system was determined in pilot experiments in order to identify the highest compound concentration that did not induce significant toxicity, as judged by cell growth and morphological observation under light microscopy. The cytotoxicity of compounds on cryopreserved PHHs was further determined by using a CellTiter-Glo luminescent cell viability assay, which is based on measurement of cellular ATP content (Promega, Madison, WI). Briefly, PHHs (BioIVT) were seeded into collagen-coated 96-well plates at a density of 3 × 104 cells per well and then incubated overnight under standard conditions to allow cell attachment. The culture medium was then removed, and the cells were exposed to the indicated concentrations of the compounds for 72 h. Cell lysate was then prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and luminescence was read on a microplate reader (Envision 2104; Perkin-Elmer). Luminescence data were converted to growth fraction by comparison to the luminescence readout for the untreated control, and 50% inhibitory concentrations were determined from the graphical data (Fig. S4).

High-Throughput Viability Assay for Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells were plated at 10,000 cells per well in a clear bottom black 96-well plate (Greiner Cat. No. 655090) and a white 96-well plate (Greiner Cat. No. 655083) then they were placed in an incubator. After 24 hr, the plates were removed from the incubator and treated with drugs using the HP D300 Digital Dispenser. After the targeted drug treatment times, 100 µL of Cell-Titer-Glo (Promega Corp.) was added to the wells in the white 96-well plate and shaken at 500 rpm for 5 min. The plate was then read by the Perkin Elmer Envision 2104 using an enhanced luminescence protocol to count the number of raw luminescent units per well. For the black clear bottom 96-well plates, the plate was spun at 300 g for 5 min and all the cell media was removed. Methanol was then added at 200 µL per well and let sit at room temperature for 15 min. The methanol was removed from the wells and 200 µL of PBS with Hoechst 33342 nucleic acid stain at a final concentration of 1 µG/mL was then added to the wells. The plates were then imaged with the GE Healthcare IN Cell Analyzer 2000 that is equipped with a CCD camera. The IN Cell Analyzer software was used to count the number of cells detected in each well to calculate the viability. Three replicates were used for the combination experiments and two replicates for the dose experiments.

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.
