Cell proliferation was determined by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-tetra-zolium bromide (MTT) assay according to the instructions of the MTT cell proliferation assay kit (Beyotime Biotechnology). The optical density was measured at 570 nm on a microplate reader (Bio-Rad 550; Bio-Rad, CA, USA). The activity of Caspase 3 was determined using the Caspase 3 activity kit (Beyotime Biotechnology). Cell lysates were prepared after their respective treatment. The cells were then scraped, centrifuged, resuspended and lysed in lysis buffer according to the manufacturer's protocol. Assays were performed in 96-well microtiter plates by incubating 10 μl protein of cell lysate per sample in 80 μl reaction buffer (1% NP-40, 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 137 mM Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and 10% glycerol) containing 10 μl 2 mM Caspase3 substrate (Ac-DEVD-pNA). Lysates were incubated at 37°C for 4 hrs. Absorbance of the samples was then measured using by a microplate reader (Bio-Rad 550; Bio-Rad) at 405 nm, according to the manufacturer's protocol.

The MTT Cell proliferation Assay Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to detect cell proliferation capacity. Generally, cells with different transfections were grown in 96-well plates (2000 cells/well) for the desired time (24, 48 and 72 h). Four hours before the end time point of culture, 10 μL MTT solution was added into each well, incubating for another 4 h at 37°C. Afterwards, 100 μL formazan solving liquid was added into each well until the formazan was fully dissolved. The absorbance at 490 nm was recorded using the iMark microplate reader (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). All experiments were repeated in triplicate.

RD cells were seeded in a 24-well plate and then transfected with 60 nM siRNA. After 24 h, the cells were infected with 0.01 MOI of strain EV71-2006-52-9. At one day postinfection, the cells were trypsinized and resuspended in DMEM. The resuspended cells (100 μl) were transferred to a 96-well plate and grown for another 24 h. To assess the viability of the RD cells transfected with siRNA, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays were performed strictly according to the manufacturer’s instructions of the MTT Cell Proliferation Assay Kit (Beyotime, China). Morphological changes in the RD cells transfected with siRNA were evaluated with inverted microscopy at 48 h postinfection. All assays were performed in triplicate in three independent 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.
