Different concentrations of farletuzumab-FuGi, farletuzumab-cFuGi (25 to 250 ng), or furin assay buffer (negative control) were preincubated with 25 ng of furin (50 μL, 0.5 ng/μL in furin assay buffer) in a total reaction volume of 100 μL for 10 min at room temperature. The reaction was started by adding 40 μL furin protease substrate (final concentration of the furin protease substrate in a 100 μL reaction was 2 μM). The fluorescence intensity of the reaction mixture was monitored at excitation wavelength of 380 nm and detection of emission at wavelength 460 nm using 96-well microplate reader (BioTek Instruments Inc., USA). For inhibitor control, 10 μL of chloromethylketone (0.5 μM) was added to 25 ng of furin and for positive control (only furin), no antibody and inhibitor were added. The protease activity of positive control well was considering as 100% activity and the decrease in furin activity was compared to that. For kinetic study, fluorescence was measured immediately after adding the protease substrate and data was recorded every 1 min for 15 min at Ex/Em = 380 nm/460 nm.

A total of 48 rats (n=6 per group at each time point) received an overdose of Fatal-plus (100mg/kg sodium pentobarbital) and the brains rapidly dissected at 1, 3, 7 or 14 days post-injury. After removal of the brain, the ipsilateral hippocampus and cortex were rapidly dissected on a chilled ice plate, immediately snap frozen with liquid nitrogen and tissues stored at −80°C. Samples were homogenized using a lysis buffer (0.1 M NaCl, 0.01 M Tris-Cl (pH 7.6), 0.001 M EDTA) with protease inhibitor cocktail (Pierce, Rockford, IL, Cat. No. 1861281). The homogenized whole cell lysates were centrifuged at 12,000xg at 4°C for 30 minutes and the supernatants collected. The protein concentration for each lysate was determined using a BCA assay (Thermo Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) and a 96 well microplate reader (Biotek, Winooski, VT).

Cells were treated with 20 or 40 µM curcumin for 24 or 48 h. The effects of curcumin on cell viability were determined using the Cell Counting kit-8 (CCK-8; Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Inc., Kumamoto, Japan) assay. Briefly, following incubation with the 20 or 40 µM curcumin for 24 or 48 h, the cells were incubated with 5 g/l CCK-8 solution for 2 h. Subsequently, the cells were placed in a 96-well microplate reader (BioTek, Winooski, VT, USA) for analysis and the optical density (OD) was detected at 450 nm. Cell viability was evaluated using the following formula: Cell viability (%) = [1 − (OD of the samples/OD of the control)] × 100%.

Evaluating Cell Viability with MTS Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CP70 and SKOV3 cell viabilities were detected using the MTS cell proliferation assay (Promega). Briefly, CP70 and SKOV3 (1000 cells each) were seeded in 96-well plates containing 100 μL media/well overnight. Then, they were exposed to nano-NI or niclosamide for 72 h. The MTS solution was prepared from the CellTiter 96R aqueous MTS reagent powder and kept at −20°C for long-term storage, and at 4°C away from light before use. Next, 20 μL of the MTS solution was added to each well, where the viable cells generated soluble formazan. After an incubation period of 45 to 60 min, the fluorescence absorbance at 490 nm was measured using a 96-well microplate reader (BioTek). Each reaction was assayed at least thrice. The results are expressed as the ratio of the absorbance of each sample to that of the untreated samples with media alone. The proliferation assays were performed in triplicate. All in vitro studies were conducted in triplicate in two independent experiments in the different cell lines.

Enzyme Activity Assays in Microplates

Enzyme activities were determined in a 96-well microplate reader (BioTek Instruments) from protein extracts. GS activity was measured monitoring the formation of γ-glutamilhydroxamate (γ-GHM) in a semibiosynthetic assay (Setién et al., 2013 (link)). GDH, PEPC, ICDH, and NAD-ME activities were measured monitoring the evolution of NAD(P)H monitored at 340 nm. GDH activity was determined in aminating sense (Setién et al., 2013 (link)). For ryegrass, wheat, and clover, novel data of carbon enzymes activities (PEPC, ICDH, and NAD-ME) were determined as previously described by Vega-Mas et al. (2015) (link) or Sarasketa et al. (2016) (link).

Assessing Bladder Cancer Cell Viability

Cell viability was assessed by using 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. 3000 cells in 100 µl of medium per well were seeded in 96-well plates. Cells were cultured for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h, and then incubated with 0.5 mg/ml of MTT at 37°C for 4 h. Medium was replaced with 150 µl DMSO per well to dissolve the precipitates. Colorimetric analysis using a 96-well micro-plate reader (Bio Tek) was performed at wavelength of 490 nm. An effect curve was drawn and the IC50 value of gemcitabine to bladder cancer cells was calculated depending on cell proliferation and drug concentration.

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.
