Realtime glo mt assay

Manufactured by Promega
Sourced in Germany, United Kingdom, Italy

The RealTime-Glo MT Cell Viability Assay is a luminescent assay that measures the metabolic activity of cells in real-time. It uses a cell-permeant pro-luciferin substrate and a proprietary thermostable luciferase enzyme to provide a quantitative readout of cell metabolism.

Evaluating Cell Proliferation with RealTime-Glo MT Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RealTime-Glo MT assay (Promega GmbH, Walldorf, Germany) was performed to examine the impact of CSE on the proliferation of metabolically active cells. The 16HBE cells were first seeded in different densities (5 × 103, 104 and 2 × 104 cells/well) in the 96-well white-walled and transparent bottom plate (Greiner Bio-One GmbH, Frickenhausen, Germany) to achieve an optimal cell density in which the signal remains linear throughout the experiment. Next, the cells were seeded at 104 and incubated with 2X RealTime-Glo reagent. The luminescence at assay start (0 h) was then measured with a microplate reader (BioTek HT, BioTek Instrument GmbH, Bad Friedrichshall, Germany). In the next rounds, following incubating of the cells with the reagent the cells were stimulated with medium control or different concentrations of CSE (5–20%) and incubated in at 37 °C with 7.5% CO2. The luminescence was measured at 1 h, 3 h, 7 h, and 19 h post-treatment in the plate. The luminescent signal was plotted versus cell number using a linear curve fit in GraphPad prism version 9.3.1.

Evaluating Pioglitazone and UK 5099 Effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the experiments described below, pioglitazone stocks (25 mM in 100% DMSO) were prepared by diluting to 1000X final concentrations and further diluted to 1–25 μM working concentrations in assay media. These concentrations are similar to the plasma pioglitazone concentrations achieved in T2DM individuals receiving 45 mg·day−1 [48 ] and are lower than that observed in rodent plasma after a single oral dose of 10 mg·kg−1 PIO [34 (link)]. Vehicle treatment (VEH) consisted of 100% DMSO, identically diluted in assay media. The pyruvate transport inhibitor UK 5099 (UK) was prepared in an identical manner to PIO and diluted in assay media to 0.05–50 μM. Cell viability was assessed following 24-h treatment with various concentrations of each drug using the RealTime-Glo MT assay (Promega).

Compatibility of Integra Bilayer with hASCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Integra bilayer was incubated in petri dish supplemented with culture medium (see below) for 24 h at 37°C in order to test its compatibility with hASCs. Petri dish was then observed by an inverted phase-contrast microscope Zeiss Axiovert 200 (Arese, MI, Italy) connected to an AxioCam ICm1camera (Zeiss); photographs were acquired by the Axiovision Rel 4.8 software (Zeiss).
Cell viability was determined by the RealTime-Glo™ MT assay (Promega, Milano, Italy) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, 200 µl of hASCs suspension (containing about 1 × 103 cells) were seeded, together with the scaffold and the assay reagent, into 24-well assay plates and cultivated for 6 days at 37°C in 5% of CO2. Every 24 h luminescent signal has been recorded using the Infinite F200 plate reader (Tecan Group, Männedorf, Switzerland). The experiments were performed in triplicate and normalized compared with cell viability in absence of the scaffold. For all the experiments we have used hASCs at the passage 5.

Determining Apoptotic Effects of BCL-2 Antagonists

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ABT-737 was the selective BCL-2/BCL-XL antagonist (Active Biochem Ltd.), A-1210477 was the MCL-1-selective antagonist (MedChemExpress) were solubilized in DMSO at different concentrations (0.1, 1.0, 5.0 and 10.0 µM). HL60, MOLM13, MV4-11 and OCI-AML3 cell lines were treated for 72 h at 37°C with A-1210477 and/or ABT-737. DMSO was used as a control at a concentration of 0.001%. A Real-Time-Glo™ MT assay (Promega Corporation) was used to assess the cell viability according to the manufacturer's protocol. The present study also used a fluorescence microscope to visualize the cell luminescence.

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.
