Measuring Chemo-Resistance with CCK-8 Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell viability was measured using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) cell assay kits (Bestbio, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer's protocol. When MCS was established, cells were cultured in fresh media with DDP (in the final concentration of 30 nM or 90 nM) (Qilu Pharmaceutical, Jinan, Shandong, China) or paclitaxel (in the final concentration of 10 nM or 20 nM) (Qilu Pharmaceutical, Jinan, Shandong, China) for 48h. Cell viabilities were calculated based upon the OD values at 450nm. To measure the effect of NSC95397 (Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) on chemo-resistance, we pre-treated cells with 32 nM NSC95397 for 48h before cultured in media with DDP or paclitaxel.

The reduction of 4-methylthio-2-oxobutanoic acid (MTOB) (Sigma-Aldrich) and NSC95397 (Sigma-Aldrich) by CtBP1 was analyzed spectrophotometrically by monitoring the disappearance of NADH absorbance at 340 nm using the Spectramax Plus absorbance cuvette reader. Assays were conducted in reaction mixtures (100 μL) containing PBS, 2 μM CtBP1, and 100 μM NADH after a 2-minute incubation at 30 °C.
The enzymatic assay of lactate dehydrogenase was carried out with 5 nM of lactate dehydrogenase (SigmaAldrich) and incubated with 5 μM pyruvate or varying concentrations of NSC93397 in PBS with 100 μM NADH for 1 min at 30 °C. The consumption of NADH was then monitored spectrophotometrically at 340 nm.

Exosome-Mediated Immune Modulation in ALI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The same amounts of exosomes isolated from healthy control-sourced and ALI-sourced monocytes were added into a 12-well plate to coculture with U937 cells. After incubation at 37°C for 24 h, the adherent cells were collected for RNA and protein isolation. Similarly, the same amounts of two sourced exosomes were also injected into 6-week-old C57BL/6 mice (n = 20 for the control exosome group, and n = 60 for the ALI-sourced exosome group). Four hours after the injection, mice in the ALI-sourced exosome group were further randomly divided into three groups. The first group of mice was injected with PBS, the second group was injected with NSC95397 (5 mg/kg) (N1786; Sigma-Aldrich), and the third group was injected with MTOB (5 mg/kg) (82890; Sigma-Aldrich). The treated mice were left for 24 h, followed by blood and lung tissue collection to evaluate their inflammatory response.

We conducted detailed studies of chemical toxicity on hiPSCs, hMSCs, and their differentiated progenies at various stages of differentiation (Figure S1). Cells were treated with different chemicals in 96-well plates and cell viability was measured with the CCK-8 assay (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. No. 96992). For all chemical toxicity assays, 6,000 hMSCs in 100 μL medium were seeded per well in a 96-well plate, and treated for 48 hours at 37°C/5% CO2 before cell viability readout on a VersaMax microplate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). A total of 14 different concentrations ranged from 0.0029 to 223 μM were used for each chemical in triplicates. The four chemicals, AC-93253, idarubicin, NSC 95397, and cantharidin, were purchased from Sigma, and dissolved in 100% DMSO. For chemical toxicity test on hMSCs, the final DMSO concentration in the media was 0.5%. For hiPSCs and hepatic differentiation Phase I cells, the final DMSO concentration was 0.1%. For hepatic differentiation Phase II and Phase III chemical toxicity tests, the final DMSO concentration for NSC 95397 was 0.3%, while 0.1% for the other 3 chemicals. Each chemical toxicity tests were repeated at least three times. The cell viabilities were plotted versus concentrations for each chemical. GraphPad Prism 6 was used to fit the data to a 3-parameter dose-inhibition curve to obtain the IC50 values.

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.
