Cytotoxicity Assay for ADCs
HeLa Cell Lysate Calcium Measurement
preparation, HeLa-cyt-AEQ cells were grown in 100 mm culture dishes
(Falcon, Cat. 353003). At confluence, cells were washed twice in PBS
and scraped in 250 μL of a buffer containing (in mM): 150 Tris,
0.8 phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), and 0.1 ethylenediaminetetraacetic
acid (EDTA), pH 7.2. After three cycles of freeze-thawing, cells were
centrifuged (12,000g, 5 min at 4 °C), the pellet
was discarded while the supernatant was aliquoted and stored at −80
°C.
For AEQ reconstitution, 100 μL aliquots of HeLa-cyt-AEQ
lysate were supplemented with 140 mM β-mercaptoethanol (Sigma,
Cat. M6250) and 5 μM native coelenterazine (GoldBio, St. Luis,
MO, Cat. CZ5) and allowed to reconstitute O.N. (15–24 h) on
ice. For Ca2+ measurements, serial dilutions were prepared
in 150 mM Tris, supplemented with 10 mM EDTA, pH 7.2.
For calcium
measurements, 500 μL of cell lysate was aliquoted
into the acquisition chamber. The latter was mounted on the top of
SiPM using optical grease to assure optimal matching of the refractive
index. After 30 s of acquisition, 1 mL of 150 mM Tris supplemented
with 50 mM CaCl2 was injected in the acquisition chamber.
After AEQ discharge, the trace was recorded until return to baseline
(about 4 min).
Hoechst 33342 Staining and Gaussia Luciferase Measurement
in a 1:10,000 diluted Hoescht 33342 (Thermo Fisher) in cell media
for 20 min, 37 °C with 5% CO2. Images were obtained
using an EVOS Cell Imaging System (Thermo Fisher). For Gaussia luciferase
measurements, native coelenterazine (GoldBio) was dissolved in acidified
methanol (1 mg/mL) and was further diluted 1:100 in GLuc buffer: 0.1%
disodium phosphate, 5% glycerol, 150 mM sodium bromide, 1 mM EDTA,
25 mM Tris–HCL pH 8, and 2 mM ascorbic acid. Luciferase activity
was measured intracellularly; to this end, media was removed, and
cells were lysed in GLuc buffer supplement with 0.1% Triton X-100
for 5 min at room temperature. The cell lysate was added to Gluc buffer
with coelenterazine at a ratio of 1:5. Measurements were done in a
96- or 384-well white plate using a Spectramax M5 plate reader (Molecular
Devices).
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.
