Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PHH were seeded into 96-well plates and cultured for 1d. P450-Glo CYP3A4 Assay from Promega (Madison, WI, USA) was used for a non-lytic reaction according to the manufacturer’s protocol (n = 3) to assess CYP3A4 activity in PHH. Cells were stimulated with the CYP3A4 inducer dexamethasone [29 (link)] for 6-48h. Stimulation with the solvent ethanol (ETOH, 2% (v/v)) was performed as negative control. After incubation, PHH were exposed to 3μM Luciferin-IPA, here 2% (v/v) Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added as an inhibitory control. Luminescence was detected after 1h of incubation by using the FLUOstar Omega from BMG LABTECH (Ortenberg, Germany). Mean relative luminescence signals were determined and net signals were calculated by subtracting the background luminescence signal (no cell control).

Three freeze/thaw spheroids, frozen
in cryovials as a suspension with CPA solution containing MEM base
media supplemented with 10% (v/v) FBS, 10% (v/v) DMSO, and with or
without 20 mg mL–1 of the polyampholyte, were transferred
into a white opaque 96-well plate. Spheroids were washed either 3-,
5- or 7-days post-thaw with 1× phosphate-buffered saline (PBS;
Merck, Gillingham, UK). The PBS was replaced with a culture medium
containing a luminogenic CYP substrate, CYP3A4/Luciferin-IPA (3 μM,
50 μL, 1 h) provided by a Promega P450-Glo CYP3A4 assay. The
CYP substrate was also added to empty wells as a background measurement.
The culture medium containing the CYP substrate (25 μL) was
transferred to an opaque white 96-well plate and a luciferin detection
reagent (25 μL) was added for 20 min at RT. Luminescence was
measured on a Tecan Spark plate reader (Tecan, Switzerland). The CYP
activity of non-frozen spheroids was also measured for comparison.

Cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity was analyzed using P450-Glo™ CYP3A4 Assay (Promega). Briefly, a pro-luciferin substrate was added to the cell culture medium and incubated for 1 h at 37 °C. Aliquots of supernatants were collected and incubated with the luminogenic detection reagent before luminescence reading using TECAN® plate reader. All samples were run in triplicate.

Cryopreserved human hepatocytes were thawed and plated onto collagen-coated 96 wells at a cell density of 0.7 × 105 cells/ml in 0.1 mL/well. After 12 hours, the culture medium was changed with serum-free medium and transfection of miRNA mimics and inhibitors was conducted. After the 48 h treatment period, CYP3A4 enzyme activity in cryopreserved human hepatocyteswas determined using the P450-Glo™ CYP3A4 assay (Promega, USA), which contained the substrate luciferin isopropyl acetal (luciferin-IPA) and luciferin detection reagent, following the manufacturer’s protocol.

Secreted albumin was quantified in the culture supernatant with the Human Albumin Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Kit (Bethyl laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions, at an absorbance of A450 nm (TriStar Multimode Reader LB942) with a reference of A620 nm.
Cytochrome P450 oxidase 3A4 (CYP3A4) activity was determined with the P450-Glo CYP3A4 Assay (Promega, Mannheim, Germany), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, CYP3A4 substrate Luciferin-PFBE (50 µM) was added on cell-laden 3D constructs and incubated at 37 °C, 5% CO2. After 4 h, CYP3A4-mediated conversion of Luciferin-PFBE substrate to luciferin, which is secreted from the printed HepaRG cells, was determined. The supernatant was incubated with Luciferin detection reagent and the luminescence was measured (TriStar Multimode Reader LB942). Luminescence values were normalized to lysis controls. For cell lysis, cell-laden 3D constructs were incubated in culture medium supplemented with 10% Triton-X-100.

For qRT-PCR analysis, RNA was collected from hepatocytes using Purelink RNA kit (Invitrogen) and then converted to cDNA using iScript cDNA synthesis kit (Biorad) following manufacturer’s instructions. The respective cDNA was then used for qRT-PCR reaction using ViiA7 Real time PCR system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The list of primers used is provided in Supplementary Table 2. All expression levels were normalized to GAPDH expression and results were represented relative to collagen sandwich cultures.
The activity of CYP1A1, CYP1A2, and CYP2B2 in rat hepatocytes was determined using ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) methoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (MROD), and pentoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (PROD) assay, respectively, as shown before[26 (link)] at day 6 of culture. The rat hepatocytes were induced for 48 hours using 2 μM 3-methylcholanthrene. For human hepatocytes CYP3A4 activity was measured using P450-Glo™ CYP3A4 Assay (Promega) following manufacturer’s instructions at day 7 of culture. Human hepatocytes were induced for 48 hours with 25 μM rifampicin before measurements. The results were corrected using cell counts to compensate for cell number differences in different wells.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Inhibition of CYP3A4 by pantoprazole was quantified with the P450-Glo™ CYP3A4 Assay (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI, USA) using a membrane preparation containing recombinant human CYP3A4 according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This assay is based on the conversion of the luminogenic CYP3A4 substrate luciferin-IPA to luciferin by CYP3A4 and was conducted as described previously [20 (link)]. Eight concentrations of pantoprazole (0.05–100 µM) were investigated in triplicate, and the experiment was conducted in quadruplicate. Data were analysed and half maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were calculated with GraphPad Prism Version 10.0 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CA, USA) using the four-parameter fit (sigmoidal concentration–response curves with variable slope).

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.
