Dna pk inhibitor

Manufactured by Bio-Techne

DNA-PK inhibitor is a laboratory reagent designed to inhibit the activity of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK), a key enzyme involved in the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway of DNA repair. This inhibitor can be used in research applications to study the role of DNA-PK in cellular processes such as DNA damage response and genome stability.

The following conditions were used for the TLR assays: DNA-PK inhibitor (NU7441, Tocris Bioscience) at 3 µM for 72 hours; proteasome inhibitor MG132 (Merck Biosciences/Calbiochem) at 0.1 µM for 48 hours and ATM inhibitor (KU55933, Tocris Bioscience) at 10 µM for 72 hours. For camptothecin, IR or laser micro-irradiation experiments the following inhibitors were added 1 hour before DDR treatments: MG132 at 20 µM, ATM inhibitor (see above) at 10 µM, ATR inhibitor (ATR-45, The Ohio State University, OSUCCC Medical Chemistry) at 1 µM, DNA-PK inhibitor (see above) at 3 µM.

Quantitative Assay of DNA-PKcs Activity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Residual DNA DSBs were quantified using foci assays as described previously (19) with detection of histone gH2AX (clone JBW301; Millipore) and 53PB1 (#NB-100-304; Novus Biologicals) in at least 50 nuclei per single experiment using an Axio Imager Z.1 microscope (Zeiss). Acute DSBs per Gy are approximately 35 to 40 foci per cell and increase linearly with the irradiation dose (20) . Thus, to ascertain microscopic assessment/quantification of distinct and individual foci cells were irradiated with a dose of 2 Gy.
In vitro DNA-PKcs kinase assay DNA-PKcs kinase activity was quantified with a SignaTECT DNA-Dependent Protein Kinase Assay System (Promega) using purified DNA-PKcs (30 units, #V5811; Promega) and Surv-EGFP [survivin wild type (wt) inserted into pEGFP-N1] immunoprecipitated at 1 hour after 4 Gy irradiation. One mmol/L DNA-PK inhibitor (KU 0060648; Tocris) treated preparations were used as a negative control. (g-32 P) ATP (Perkin Elmer) was quantified by a Fujifilm BAS-1500 Imager (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) and evaluated by using TINA Image Analysis Environment software (OSMIA Project, EU IST Program).

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.
