Cytoplasmic Cytochrome c Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
LECs were plated in cell culture dishes (5×106 cells/60 cm2) and treated the next day with TSA as aforementioned. After 24 h, cytoplasmic extracts were obtained by digitonin permeabilization. Briefly, cells were trypsinized (0.125% trypsin/0.1% EDTA) for 5 min and centrifuged at 259 g for 10 min, and the pellet was resuspended in 250 μl PBS. Permeabilization of the membranes was obtained by adding 250 μl digitonin/sucrose (80 mg/ml, Fluka, Buchs, Switzerland) for 30 s. Then, samples were centrifuged for 1 min at 14000 g [12 (link)], and supernatants with equal amounts of protein (protein determination by DC protein assay; BioRad, Munich, Germany) were used in a commercial cytochrome c immunoassay kit (R&D Systems, Wiesbaden, Germany). The assay was performed according to the manufacturer’s manual. Optical density (450 nm) was measured using an ELISA reader (ELISA-Reader ASYS Expert 96, Deelux Labortechnik, Gödenstorf, Germany).

Cytochrome c Release Assay in A549 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A549 cells were seeded in 2 ml fresh medium at an initial density of 1 × 106 cells/ml and incubated up to 4 hours with or without 20 μM MPD. After the incubation, the cells were harvested by centrifugation and washed twice with PBS. The cells were suspended in 200 μl lysis buffer (195 mM mannitol; 65 mM sucrose; 2 mM HEPES, pH 7.4; 0.05 mM EGTA; 0.01 mM MgCl2; 0.5 mg/ml BSA) and lysed by the addition of 0.01% digitonin. The cytosolic fraction was obtained from 10,000 × g centrifugation for 10 minutes and was collected for cytochrome c assay in 1 × RD5P calibrator diluent (cytochrome c Immunoassay Kit; R and D Systems, MN, USA).

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.
