A549 cell (100 μL, 5 × 104/mL) were seeded in a 96-well plate, cultured overnight and then treated with different concentrations (200, 400 and 600 μg/mL) of BRBS for 24, 48 and 72 h. Cisplatin (20 μg/mL) was used as a positive control. After centrifugation at 1200 rpm for 7 min, supernatant was discarded and 100 μL of MTT [3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide] (Sigma) solution (0.5 mg/mL in PBS) was added to each well. After 4 h, 150 μL DMSO was added into each well to dissolve the formed formazan crystals. The optical density at 490 nm was measured by a 96-well microplate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA).

1200 rpm for 7 minutes, the medium was removed and 200 μg/mL DMSO was added to
each well to dissolve the formed formazan crystals. The OD490 values were
measured by a 96-well microplate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, CA, USA). To
evaluate the effects of CTPG on splenocytes, the cells were isolated from
C57BL/6 mice and plated into 96-well plates at a density of

H2S level was measured using a previously described method
[26 (link),27 (link)]. Briefly, trigeminal ganglion tissues were homogenized in 250 μl of ice-cold 100 mM potassiumphosphate buffer (pH = 7.4) containing trichloroacetic acid (10% w/v). Zinc acetate (1% w/v, 250 μl) was injected to trap the generated H2S. A solution of N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine sulfate (20 μM; 133 μl) in 7.2 M HCl and FeCl3 (30 μM; 133 μl) in 1.2 M HCl was added. Absorbance at 670 nm of the resulting mixture (250 μl) was determined after 10 min using a 96-well microplate reader (Bio-Rad). The H2S concentration of each sample was calculated against a calibration curve of NaSH (0–250 μM) and results were expressed as nmol/mg proteins.

α-Glucosidase Inhibition Assay Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The α-glucosidase inhibition test was carried out in 96-well microplate using a modified procedure of Bilal et al.35 . The reaction mixture contained 50 μL of sodium phosphate buffer (100 mM, pH 6.8), 10 μL of α-glucosidase and 20 μL of plant (85.73 µg/ml)/fungal extract (69.72 µg/ml) as test sample; samples were thoroughly mixed in a 96-well microplate and were incubated at 37 °C for 30 minutes. However, in case of control, inhibitor was not added. The reaction was initiated by adding 20 μl of pNPG of varying concentration of 0.25–8 mg/mL, prepared in sodium phosphate buffer (100 mM, pH 6.8) as a substrate and incubated for another 15 minutes at 37 °C. The reaction was terminated by adding 50 μl of sodium carbonate. The absorbance was recorded at 405 nm by a 96-well micro plate reader (Bio-Rad, India). Acarbose (55.29 µg/ml) was used as a reference standard inhibitor.
The percentage of inhibition of both enzymes was calculated using the following equation: PercentageofenzymeInhibition=(AcontrolAsample/Acontrol)×100 where Acontrol is the activity of enzyme without the inhibitor and Asample is the enzyme activity with the test sample solution as inhibitor at different concentrations. The amount of the inhibitor required for inhibiting 50% of the enzyme activity under the standard assay conditions was used to determine IC50 value.

Cell proliferation was measured by WST-1 assay (DaeilLab, Seoul, Korea). In brief, cells were seeded at 3×103 viable cells/well onto 96-well microtiter plates in a final volume of 100 μL/well. Cells were incubated with WST-1 at 37°C for 2 hours and optical density (OD) values at 450 nm were recorded at days 0, 3, and 5 using a 96-well microplate reader (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA). The experiment was performed in triplicate.
In order to examine clonogenicity, cells were seeded into 60-mm dishes (0.02-0.1×104 cells/well) and cultured for 3 weeks. Colonies formed in each well were fixed with H2O containing 10% methanol and 10% acetic acid, stained with 0.5% crystal violet, and then counted visually. A three-dimensional clonogenic growth assay was performed using a soft agar culture system. Briefly, cells were mixed in 0.3% agar containing 10% FBS and layered on top of the base layer of 0.6% agar in a 60-mm dish (3×103 cells/dish). After a four-week incubation in a humidified CO2 incubator, colonies were counted visually after staining with 0.5% crystal violet. Each cell group was cultured in triplicate, and colonies greater than 1.5 mm in diameter were scored visually.

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.
