Growth inhibition 50 (GI50) was determined by a fluorescence assay using 7-hydroxy-3H-phenoxazin-3-one 10-oxide (CellTiter-Blue, Promega) according to the manufacturer's protocol. Cell viability was determined by employing a fluorescence-based assay that relies in live-cell protease activity (CellTiter-Fluor, Promega) following the manufacturer's protocol. All fluorescence measurements were performed in a Synergy4 microplate reader (BioTek).
Caspase assays. Caspase-3 and -7 activity was assessed using the Apo-ONE caspase 3/7 assay (Promega) following the manufacturer's instructions with measurement of fluoresence emission in a Synergy4 microplate reader (BioTek). Caspase activity was normalized by the cell number determined by CellTiter-Fluor (Promega).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Luciferase reporter assay to evaluate PXR activation by indirubin was performed using Human pregnane X receptor activation assay system following the manufacturer’s instructions (Puracyp Inc., Carlsbad, CA). Briefly, cells were seeded into 96-well plate and incubated overnight at 37 °C in 5% CO2. Cells were then treated with DMSO (0.1%) or indirubin (100 nM). Rifampicin (100 nM) was used as positive control for PXR activation. Forty-eight hours post treatment, PXR activation was determined using ONE-GloTM Luciferase Assay SystemTM and Celltiter-FluorTM (both from Promega, Madison, WI). Relative luminescence units (RLU) and relative fluorescence units (RFU) of each well were measured using EnSight Multimode Plate Reader (PerkinElmer Inc., Waltham, MA). PXR activation was then calculated by dividing normalized luciferase activity (RLU/RFU) of indirubin-treated condition by that of DMSO-treated control condition and was shown as fold activation relative to the vehicle control.

Comparative Cytotoxicity and Proliferation Assays

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
U373 cells and T98 cells were seeded at a density of 500 cells in 96-well plates and incubated for 24 hours. Each experiment was performed in triplicate. For the cell proliferation assays (WST-1 (Roche, Basel, Schweiz), CellTiter-GLO, CellTiter-Fluor (Promega), and Alamar Blue (Invitrogen)) as well as the cytotoxicity assays (CytoTox-GLO, CytoTox-One (Promega)) treatment effect was measured after 5 or 6 days of incubation. These time points were selected based on pilot time course experiments showing clear treatment effects at these points with control untreated cells still growing in the exponential growth phase. All assays were performed according to the manufacturers' instructions. Absorption, luciferase, or fluorescent signals were measured using the Infinite 200 reader (Tecan, Männedorf, Switzerland).
Results from the cytotoxicity assays are expressed as percentage of induced cytotoxicity compared to the nontreated control; error bars indicate standard deviation. Results from the viability assays are expressed as percentage of the nontreated control and error bars indicate standard deviation.

Cytotoxicity and mRNA Transfection Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa and HEK293T/17 cell lines (ATCC, Manassas, VA) were cultured in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with 10% heat-inactivated FBS (Hyclone Laboratories Inc., Logan, UT) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin (Thermo Fisher, Federal Way, WA). All cultures were grown in 37°C incubators supplemented with 5% CO2 and maintained following suppliers’ instructions. Cells were plated in white, clear-bottom 96-well plates at 4,000 cells per well and allowed to adhere overnight. Then, cells were administered LNPs encapsulating firefly luciferase mRNA. Cell viability results (CellTiter-Fluor, Promega), and luciferase expression data (ONE-Glo Luciferase Assay, Promega) were collected 24 hours post-treatment with a microplate reader. Luminescent readout (in relative luminescence units, RLU) was normalized by cell counts commensurate with fluorescence (relative fluorescence units, RFU). RFU values were also compared between treated and untreated wells to determine cell viability.

Host cell and intracellular T. cruzi amastigote numbers were assessed as described with minor modifications [34 (link)]. Briefly, NHDF were plated at 1.5 x 103 per well in 384 well plates and infected with MOI 1.25 for 2 hours before incubation in phenol-free media at the indicated glucose concentration. At 18 hpi, the indicated concentration of 2-DG was added, and at 66 hpi media was removed and host cell number and parasite number were assessed using 10 μL of CellTiter-Fluor (Promega) and 10 μL of Beta-Glo (Promega) per well, respectively.

Inhibition of P. berghei parasite load in hepatocytes was evaluated as previously described (Derbyshire et al., 2012 (link)). Briefly, 15,000 HepG2 or 8,000 HuH7 cells/well were seeded into 384-well plates in the presence or absence of compounds (0–100 μM) before infection with 3,000 P. berghei ANKA sporozoites. After 45 hrs, liver cell viability was assessed using CellTiter-Fluor (Promega) and parasite load was determined using Bright-Glo (Promega). The relative fluorescence and luminescence signal intensity of each well was normalized to the negative control (1% DMSO). Dose-response analysis was performed with GraphPad Prism.

Example 3

Cellular assay: Test cells (for example, primary human fibroblasts) are seeded at 1×103 per well in 96-well tissue culture-treated dishes. Forty-eight hours later, cells are treated with either test compound, reference compound, or vehicle at a concentration of 1 mM. Cells are incubated at 37 C, 5% CO2 for twenty-four hours. Viability is assessed using CellTiter-Fluor™ (Promega, Madison, Wis.). Cells are then lysed and NAD(H) content is measured using the NAD/NADH-Glo™ assay (Promega, Madison, Wis.). NAD content is normalized to the number of viable cells and expressed relative to untreated control cells.

In vivo NAD and NAAD assay: Animals were dosed with 500 mg/kg of test compound or reference compound in vehicle. Results for Compound 2 are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, which show that Compound 2 was orally available and boosted NAD and NAAD in murine liver and skeletal muscle, respectively, at the 8 hour time point.

HFF were seeded at 1500 cells/well in 384 well black bottom plates (Corning). At 24h post plating, cells were infected with β-galactosidase expressing T. cruzi Tulahuen strain (moi 5) for 2hr, washed twice, and left in DMEM (2% FCS, 2 mM glutamine, 1 mM pyruvate). At 18hpi cells were treated with 0.3–10 μM of ELQ271. At 72 hpi HFF viability was measured in a fluorescence-based readout (CellTiter-Fluor, Promega) and T. cruzi was measured by luminescence-based readout (Beta-Glo reagent, Promega) using an Envision Plate Reader (PerkinElmer) as described [32 (link)]. The relative infection (RLU/RFU) was calculated and normalized to untreated control fitted by non-linear regression to high (= 100%) and low (= 0%) values using GraphPad Prism software.

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.
