Benzidine (4, 4′-diaminobiphenyl; ≥98.0%, RT), methanol as well as DMSO were purchased from Merck (USA). Benzidine was dissolved in DMSO, which was subsequently preserved at −20°C. The final concentration of DMSO administered in cells was under 1‰. Polyclonal antibodies against p-ERK1/2, p-p38, p-JNK, p-ERK5, p-c-Jun, p-c-Fos, and Fra-1 were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (USA). Polyclonal antibodies against ZO-1, E-cadherin, Snail, N-cadherin, Vimentin, XMD8-92, U0126, as well as GAPDH were commercially obtained from Santa Cruz (USA). Primers for Snail, N-cadherin, Vimentin, ZO-1, E-cadherin as well as GAPDH were synthesized by Invitrogen (USA). Sources of unmentioned materials were described in the following.

Cell Proliferation Assay with Kinase Inhibitors

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PD98059, a special inhibitor of the ERK1/2, was from (Sigma Company), SP600125, the inhibitor of JNK, was from (Sigma Company), XMD8-92, an effective inhibitor of the ERK5, from (Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Treated with different concentration of ERK1/2 inhibitor, JNK inhibitor, ERK5 inhibitor, cell proliferation ability of each group were assessed using MTT assay. Briefly, the exponential growth phase, were trypinized, centrifuged at 400 × g for 5 min at room temperature, resuspend in complete medium (10% FBS) and were counted. The cells were then seeded into five 96-well plates (1×103 cells/well), with five parallel wells for each cell group. The medium was replaced with 120 µl MTT solution, containing 100 µl medium and 20 µl MTT (Beijing Solarbio Science & Technology Co., Ltd.), at different time-points (24, 48, 72 h). After 4 h, the medium was aspirated and 150 µl DMSO was added to each well, then the plate was agitated for 45 sec at 27°C. The optical density value at a wavelength of 490 nm was determined using a Multiskan FC Microplate photometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, 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.
