Approximately 1.0 × 104 transfected SCC-4 and CAL-27 cells were cultured in 96-well plates, and then underwent 1-h incubation with CCK-8 reagent (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). The absorbance at 450 nm was recorded using an Infinite M200 multimode microplate reader (Tecan, Shanghai, China).
After approximately 48-h transfection, the 5-ethynyl-2’-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay kit provided by Ribo (Guangzhou, China) was utilized to examine the proliferation of SCC-4 and CAL-27 cells. Specifically, cells were grown in culture medium containing EdU (Invitrogen) solution (1:1,000). At the proliferative stage, the cells were labeled with EdU for 2 h, followed by rinsing with PBS (0.5 g/ml) thrice. Subsequently, the cells were stained by 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) from Invitrogen for 10 min at indoor temperature in the dark and underwent PBS rinsing more than twice. Ultimately, assessment of the stained cells was implemented via the FACSCalibur DxP flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Shanghai, China).

Approximately, 1.0×103 transfected U87 MG and U251 cells were cultured in 96-well plates. Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8; 10 µl) reagent (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) was added and incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The absorbance at 450 nm was recorded using an Infinite M200 multimode microplate reader (Tecan Group, Ltd.).
After approximately 48 h of transfection, the 5-ethynyl-2´-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay kit provided by Guangzhou Ribo Co., Ltd., was used to examine the proliferation of U87 MG and U251 cells. Specifically, cells were grown in culture medium containing EdU (cat. no. A10044; Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) solution (1,000:1). At the proliferative stage, the cells were labeled with EdU for 2 h, followed by three rinses with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; 0.5 g/ml). Subsequently, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.) was used to stain nuclei of the washed cells for 10 min at room temperature in the dark. The DAPI-stained cells were washed more than twice with PBS. Stained cells were analyzed using the FACSCalibur DxP flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).

EdU Proliferation Assay for U87 and U251 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After transfection of pcDNA/HCG11 and pcDNA‐NC for 48 hours, the proliferation abilities of U87 and U251 cells were detected by EdU cell proliferation (Ribo, Guangzhou, China). Briefly, the ClickREdU solution (Invitrogen) was added to the culture medium (1000:1). The cells which were in proliferating phase were tabbed with EdU for 2 hours. Next, the cells were washed for three times with 0.5 g/mL of PBS. Subsequently, DAPI (Invitrogen) nuclei counterstained the washed cells for 10 minutes at normal temperature in the dark place. The DAPI‐marked cells were then washed more than twice with PBS. Finally, all marked cells were analysed and measured by the flow cytometer FACSCalibur DxP (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA).

Time course DU145-Parental control and DU145-Parental-UCA1 siRNA samples were fixed in 70% ethanol on ice for 30 min. After washing with PBS, cell pellets were blocked in 0.1%(v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (v/v) goat serum at room temperature for 1 hour, and then incubated with anti-phosphohistone H2AX (ser-139) antibody (EMD Millipore, MA, USA) overnight at 4°C. Following three washes with PBS, cells were incubated with Alexafluor 488 labelled goat-anti-mouse secondary antibody (Invitrogen, Ontario, Canada) at room temperature in the dark for 1 hour. Cells were washed three times with PBS and nuclei counterstained with 0.5 g/mL DAPI (Invitrogen, Ontario, Canada) in PBS for 10 min in the dark at room temperature, followed by three washes with PBS.

After transfecting miR-590-3p mimics and negative control for 48h, 3,000 cells per well were grew in 96-well plates for 6 h (n=5). Then the proliferation of HCT116 cells or SW480 cells were detected by MTT assay (Roche, Basel, Switzerland) and EdU cell proliferation (Ribo, Guangzhou, China).
The transfected cells were continuously cultured for 1d, 2d, 3d, 4d and 5d, further added 10 μL MTT for 4 h, 37°C. Then removed the medium, the well were added DMSO for 10 min. The OD values were determined at 490nm by a microplate reader. In addition, the ClickREdU solution (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was added to the culture medium at a ratio of 1000: 1 and the cells, which were in proliferating phase, were marked with EdU for 2 h. Similarly, the transfected cells were washed three times with PBS 0.5 g/mL DAPI (Invitrogen, Ontario, Canada) nuclei counterstained the washed cells for 10 min at room temperature in a dark.

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.
