Cell viability was determined in HT-22 cells by the calcein AM cell viability assay [17 (link)]. HT-22 cells were seeded for 24 h before initiation of the experiment at a density of 5000 cells per well in 96-well plates. Insult cells with 3.0 mM glutamate induce 50–75% cell death and co-treat with IRN and M1–M4 at the concentrations of 100 nM, 1 µM, 10 µM, 50 µM and 100 µM, and 2-(1-adamantyl)-4-methylestrone (ZYC26) at the concentrations of 100 nm, 1 µM, 5 µM and 10 µM for 24 h. After exposure to various treatment paradigms, cells were rinsed with PBS, and cell viability was measured using the membrane-permeant calcein-AM dye (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA). Calcein-AM is a fluorogenic esterase substrate that is hydrolyzed to a fluorescent product in cells having esterase activity and intact membranes. Cells were incubated in a solution of 1 µM calcein-AM in PBS at 37 °C in the dark. Twenty minutes later, fluorescence was determined using a Bio-Tek (Winooski, VT, USA) FL600 microplate reader with an excitation/emission filter set of 485/530 nm. The results, obtained in relative fluorescent units, are expressed as the percentage of untreated control values.

Cell viability was determined in HT22 cells by the calcein AM cell viability assay [42 (link)]. In brief, HT22 cells were seeded 24 h before initiation of the experiment at a density of 5000 cells per well in 96-well plates and then treated with various test sample solutions with 3 mM glutamate which induced 50–75% cell death for 24 h. After exposure to various treatment paradigms, cells were rinsed with PBS, and cell viability was measured using the membrane-permeant calcein-AM dye (Molecular Probes). Cells were incubated in a solution of 1 μM calcein-AM in PBS at 37°C in dark. Twenty minutes later, fluorescence was determined using a Bio-Tek FL600 microplate reader with an excitation/emission filter set of 485/530 nm.

After treatment (gene transfection with shRNA-TFAM or exposure to EtBr), HEp-2 or HNE2 cells were cultured in six-well plates at a concentration of 5 × 105 cells/well. The cells were trypsinized and collected by centrifugation at 600 × g for 5 min and washed three times with PBS. The transfected cells were sorted by flow cytometry as described in the section on flow cytometry and cell sorting.
The cells were lysed with ATP-releasing buffer containing 100 mM Tris buffer (titrated to pH 7.8 with acetic acid), 2 mM EDTA, and 1% Triton X-100. A total of 5 μl of the lysate was taken for protein determination and another 5 μl of the lysate was added to a 96-well plate. ATP concentrations in the lysates were quantified in triplicate using an ATP determination kit (luciferase-luciferin; Life Technologies) in a BioTek FL600 microplate reader according to the manufacturer's instructions (results were adjusted according to the protein concentration).

Cells were trypsinized, collected by centrifugation at 600 × g for 5 min at 4 °C, washed with ice cold PBS, and resuspended in 500 μl of Cytosol Extraction Buffer (BioVision, San Francisco, CA, USA). After incubation on ice for 10 min, the cells were homogenized in an ice cold dounce tissue grinder and transferred to a 1.5-ml tube and centrifuged at 700 × g for 10 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was transferred to a fresh 1.5 ml tube and centrifuged at 10 000 × g for 30 min at 4 °C. The supernatant was removed and the pellet was resuspended in 500 μl Cytosol Extraction Buffer and centrifuged again at 10 000 × g for 30 min at 4 °C. The remaining pellet consisted of mitochondria that were lysed for western blot or labeling with MitoTracker Green FM (Life Technologies) for the analysis of mitochondrial mass in a BioTek FL600 microplate reader.

Investigating Metabolic Consequences of CcO Inhibition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This assay was conducted to determine the cellular consequence of CcO inhibition under a hyperexcitatory milieu (glutamate or EW), and to determine whether CcO inhibition blunts the protective effect of E2 on cells. The membrane-permeant Calcein-AM ester dye (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) was used to measure cell viability. Briefly, HT22 cells received the aforementioned EW with or without treatment with NaN3 (1 μM) and/or E2 (1 μM) during EW phases. Separately, HT22 cells were exposed to glutamate (3 mM) for 24 hours with or without NaN3 (1 μM) cotreatment. After the removal of the medium from the 96-well cell plates, the cells were rinsed once with PBS, and incubated in PBS solution containing 2.5 μM Calcein-AM. Twenty minutes later, fluorescence was determined using a BioTek FL600 microplate reader (BioTek Instruments, Winooski, VT) with an excitation/emission filter set at 495/515 nm. Wells treated with methanol served as blanks.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein release from rhBMP2-CHI and rhBMP2-CPS-CHI scaffolds were analyzed at eight different time points (0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 120, 216 hours) using specific sandwich ELISA assay (Peprotech, UK) and following manufacturer instructions. Briefly, a 96-well microplate was precoated with a rabbit anti-BMP-2 antibody overnight and blocked over 1 hour with 1% BSA in PBS 1X pH 7.4. Afterwards, 100 µL of culture medium was placed into the microplate and incubated over 2 hours. Then, biotinylated rabbit anti-BMP-2 antibody was added and incubated over an additional hour. After that, an Avidin-HRP conjugated was added to the microplate and incubated over 30 minutes. Finally, ABTS (Sigma) was added and the absorbance at 405 nm was measured using a Biotek FL-600 microplate reader. All the process was carried out at room temperature using the absorbance of a culture medium non-exposed to scaffolds as blank readout. Data obtained were converted to ng/mL by interpolation on standard curve. Total rhBMP-2 content was determined multiplying by culture medium total volume (400 µL).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
P. aeruginosa PAO1 enrichments were transferred into 96-well microtiter plates at an optical density (OD) of 0.03 at 600 nm. Wells were supplemented with TSB (1× final concentration) and the agents shown in Table 1. Eight replicates per agent and control were tested. Plates were incubated at 37 °C for 48 h. Quantitative analysis in microtiter plates was performed following the crystal violet method [35] . At selected time points (i.e., 0, 24, 48 h), plates were washed five times in deionized water (DIW) to remove planktonic cells. Wells were stained with 300 µL of 1:3 diluted crystal violet solution for 20 min at 22 °C. Excess stain was washed off five times in DIW. Following washing, 300 µL of 95% ethanol was added to each well, and de-colorization of the wells was allowed for 15 min. Light absorbance data were read at 540 nm in a BioTek FL600 micro-plate reader.

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.
