Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ELISA kits were used to detect the activity of caspase-3 using the caspase-3 colorimetric assay kit (KeyGEN BioTECH) . MCF-7/ ADR cells were seeded into six-well plates at 5 Â 10 5 cells/well. After overnight incubation, they were pretreated with 0, 20, 30 lM DIM for 2 h before exposed to 10 Gy of c-irradiation. Cells were harvested at 48 h after irradiation and washed with ice-cold PBS, then lysed with ice-cold RIPA lysis buffer (KeyGEN BioTECH) with 1 mmol/L PMSF. Protein concentrations were calculated by BCA assay kits (Thermo Fisher SCIENTIFIC, Beijing, China). Caspase-3 activity was measured with the corresponding detection kit according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Measuring Caspase-3 Activity in Bladder Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the caspase-3 activity of the two bladder carcinoma cells, the caspase-3 colorimetric assay kit (Keygen) was used following the protocol. The cells were seeded in the 25 cm2 flask, then propagated in PRMI 1640 medium with PKC-α inhibitors, or transfected by the siRNAs against PKC-α and Dicer. And we use the Lysis Buffer in the kit to collect the cells with inhibitors at 0, 8, 16 and 24 hrs; and the cells with transfection was collected after 24 hrs. And protein contents were estimated employing Bradford reagent, equal amount protein were stained with caspase-3 Substrate in 37°C for 4 hrs. Spectrophotometer was used to analyse the caspase-3 activity at 405 nm.

Quantifying Chondrocyte Apoptosis Pathways

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit (Beyotime, C1062L) and the Caspase-3 Colorimetric Assay Kit (Keygen Biotech, Nanjing, China) were utilized to determine cell apoptosis. For the Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit, the treated chondrocyte was suspended in the binding buffer containing Annexin V and incubated for 20 min. Afterwards, the chondrocyte was incubated with PI for 15 min. The percentage of chondrocyte apoptosis was examined by a FACScan flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, USA). In addition, caspase-3 activity was detected using the Caspase-3 Colorimetric Assay Kit (Biovision, K106-25). The absorbance of each sample was measured by a microplate reader (Tecan, F50) at 450 nm.

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.
