Turner 20 20 luminometer

Manufactured by Promega

The Turner 20/20 luminometer is a compact and versatile instrument designed for luminescence-based assays. It measures light output from samples, providing a quantitative analysis of luminescent signals. The luminometer's core function is to detect and measure luminescent reactions, enabling researchers to analyze various biochemical processes in their studies.

A GSH-Glo Glutathione assay kit (Promega) was used to measure the total glutathione (GSH) content in the LVs following the vendor’s instructions. Briefly, 10 mg of LV heart tissue was homogenized in 1× PBS containing 2 mM EDTA, centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected. A total of 50 μl of GSH-Glo Reagent was mixed with 50 μl of tissue extract (10 μg) and incubated for 30 min at RT. Next, 100 μl of luciferin detection reagent was added and incubated for an additional 15 min at RT. The signal was measured using a Turner 20/20 luminometer (Promega).

Measuring KRAB Domain Transcriptional Regulation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The transcriptional regulatory activity of KRAB domains was determined using the 5xGAL4-UAS-TK-Luc-luciferase reporter system, as described previously(Gebelein et al., 1998 (link); Gebelein and Urrutia, 2001 (link); Urrutia, 2003 (link); Xiao et al., 2011 (link)). Briefly, CHO cells containing a stably integrated 5xGAL4-UAS-TK-Luc luciferase reporter gene were maintained under hygromycin selection and co-transfected with various 5xGAL4-DBD-KRAB constructs and reporter plasmid using LipofectAMINE™ (Life Technologies, Inc.). As a control for basal transcriptional activity, the CHO cells were co-transfected with the pcDNA3.1/HisC vectors. At 24 h after transfection, luciferase assays were performed using a Turner 20/20 luminometer and the dual luciferase assay system according to manufacturer's suggestions (Promega). The Rous sarcoma virus-Renilla reporter was added to each transfection as an indicator of transfection efficiency. The relative luciferase activity was expressed as a ratio between the luciferase activity in 5xGAL4-DBD transfected cells vs. the luciferase activity in cells transfected with various 5xGAL4-DBD-KRAB constructs. All studies were performed in triplicate in at least three independent experiments with similar results.

Glutathione and Lipid Peroxidation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total glutathione (GSH) content in the LVs was measured by luminescence based GSH‐Glo Glutathione assay kit (Promega), and generated luminescence, corresponding to glutathione level, was detected by Turner 20/20 luminometer (Promega). Lipid peroxidation assay kit (Sigma) was used to measure malondialdehyde (MDA) level, an indicator of lipid‐peroxidation, in the LVs.

Assaying Wnt Pathway Activation in Ovarian Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells from ovarian cancer cell lines were seeded 40,000 per 50 μL in 96 well plates. Following 24 h, cells were transfected with 200 ng of TCF/LEF luciferase reporter (TOPFlash) (plasmid courtesy of Dr. Randall Moon, Upstate Biotechnology, Lake Placid, NY). Cells were transfected using Lipofectamine TM 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) in Opti-MEM (Gibco/Invitrogen) per the manufacturer's instructions. After 6 h, cells were treated with 1 μM niclosamide, analog 11, or analog 32 and assayed for luciferase activity with or without Wnt3a ligand 24 h post-treatment. Luciferase activity was measured using a Turner 20/20 luminometer (Promega, Madison, WI) and was normalized to the total protein concentration as reported previously [23 (link)]. The luciferase activity was normalized to untreated control and represented as the mean ± SE for a minimum of 3 replicates. Recombinant Human Wnt-3a Protein (100 ng/ml) R&D Systems Inc. Minneapolis, MN (Catalog #5036-WN-010) was used to stimulate β-catenin driven Wnt signaling.

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.
