Cell invasion was evaluated with the CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Invasion Assay kit (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA). After siRNA knockdown, the cells were cultured in 10−9 M E2-containing medium for 36 h and starved in serum free medium for overnight. Then, 3 × 105 cells in serum-free medium were seeded on a basement membrane-coated insert with 8 μM pores, and 500 μl of medium containing 10% of charcoal-stripped FBS and E2 (10−9 M) were added to the lower chamber. After a 24-h incubation, cells that had penetrated the insert pore were extracted and absorbance at OD560nm was measured.

HCT116 and HT29 cell migration was analyzed using the in vitro wound healing assay. Cells were grown to confluence in 48-well plates and changed to serum-free medium for additional 24 h. Cell monolayers were scraped with a micropipette tip and treated with 10 uM IWR-1. The wound area was photographed under phase-contrast microscopy before and 24 h after the treatment and the percentage of wound closure was determined as: [(initial area - final area)/initial area] × 100 [64 (link)].
Invasion assays were conducted using the CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Invasion Assay Kit (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA). Briefly, 300 μL of HCT116 and HT29 cells (1 × 105cells/ml) in serum-free medium was plated into the CytoSelect basement membrane chamber, respectively, and 500 μL of 10% FBS-containing RPMI was added to the lower well of the invasion plate; both upper and lower chambers contained the 10 uM IWR-1. The chambers were then incubated for 48 h at 37°C in a 5% CO2 atmosphere, non-migratory cells were removed, and migrated cells were stained, dissociated from the membrane, and their absorbance was measured at 560 nm using the microplate reader (model 680; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) [65 (link)].

Cell invasion assays were performed as described previously [31 (link)]. In brief, cells transfected with miRNA mimic or siRNA were seeded at 5 × 105 cells/well in the upper chamber of a CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Invasion Assay kit (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA). The number of invading cells was counted in three randomly selected views under a microscope.

Cell invasion was assessed using a CytoSelect 24-well Cell Invasion Assay kit (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, at 36 hours post-transfection, 1 × 105 cells in 300 μL serum-free medium were added to the upper chamber precoated with basement membrane matrix solution. Subsequently, 0.5 mL of 10% FBS-containing medium were added to the lower chamber as a chemoattractant. The cells were incubated for 36 hours at 37 °C, then the non-invading cells were removed with cotton swabs. The cells, which migrated to the bottom of the membrane, were fixed and stained with staining solution for 10 minutes. The inserts with stained cells were air-dried, then incubated in the extraction solution for 10 minutes and absorbance was measured at a TECAN spectrophotometer (Tecan, Zürich, Switzerland) at 560 nm.

For the cell invasion assays, after 48 h of transfection, 5 × 104 CRC cells were plated at the top of the Matrigel-coated invasion chambers (CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Invasion Assay Kit; Cell Biolabs, U.S.A.) with a serum-free DMEM in six-well plates; 10% FBS DMEM was added to the lower chamber and cultured for 24 h. For cell migration assays, after 48 h of transfection, 5 × 104 cells were plated into the transwell chamber, and cultured with complete medium for 24 h. Finally, all cells were fixed with ethanol and stained with Crystal Violet.

Quantifying Cell Invasion Potential

Cell Invasion was assessed using a CytoSelect 24-well Cell Invasion Assay Kit (Cell Biolabs, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) with an 8 µm pore size polycarbonate membrane, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, after starvation for 24 h in serum-free media, 3.0 × 105 cells that were re-suspended in serum-free media were seeded in the upper chamber. The lower chamber was filled with 500 µL RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS. The plate was incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 for 24 h to induce the invasion towards the lower chamber. After removing non-invasive cells from the upper side of the chamber, invaded cells on the reverse side were stained using the provided staining solution. The stained membranes were incubated for 10 minutes with extraction buffer and the lysate was quantified by measuring the absorbance at 560 nm using an IMARK microplate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.).

4 × 105 WT and Smad3−/− ESCs were seeded in six-well tissue culture plates, respectively, in 2i and LIF ESC culture media. After 2 days, the ESC media were changed to differentiation media, in which 2i and LIF were removed and 1 μM RA (Sigma) was added, for another day to promote quick ESC differentiation. When ESCs were completely differentiated into monolayer cells, autoclaved yellow pipette tips were used to generate scratches. After scratching, the detached cells were removed by washing twice with DPBS buffer, and then cultured in differentiation media for another 24 h under normal condition. Images were taken by a Zeiss microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany) and analyzed, using Image J software (NIH, Washington, DC, USA), at 0 and 24 h. Triplicate independent assays were performed. The cell invasive assay was performed using the CytoSelect 24-Well Cell Invasion Assay Kit (Cat # CBA-110-COL, Cell Biolabs, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In vitro Matrigel invasion assays were performed using CytoSelect™ 24-Well Cell Invasion Assay kit (Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s manual. Migrating or invading cells on the bottom surface of the membrane were stained with crystal violet and quantified at OD 560 nm after extraction using the VersaMax microplate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA).

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.
