MTT Assay for Cell Viability

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Early log phase cells were seeded at 5 × 103 per well in 96-well plates for the MTT assay. Cell density was measured by using Cell Viability Kit (MTT, Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions. The absorbance value (OD) of each sample was read at wavelength of 570 nm in a microtiter plate reader (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA). The measured absorbance of converted dye is proportional to cell viability [46 (link)]. All experiments were repeated at least three times.

2,000 cells were plated in triplicates in each well of a 96-well plate, and 3-day MTT assays were performed using the Cell viability Kit (Roche, 11465007001) per the manufacturer’s protocol. Inhibitor pretreatment was given for 1 hour, followed by cotreatment of the cells with inhibitors with or without DC661. Nonlinear regression (curve fit) method was used to calculate IC50.

Breast Cancer Cell Migration Assay

To evaluate breast cancer cell migration, 8 nm pore-size culture inserts (Transwell, Costar) were placed into the wells of a 24-well culture plate, separating the upper and the lower chambers. 1x 10^4 control or AMPH-1 knockdown cells were seeded to the upper chamber in 200ul of serum-free medium. After 12 h of incubation at 37 °C in 5% CO2, the number of cells that migrated through the pores was counted in 3 independent visual fields. The cell morphology was observed by hematoxylin staining. The assay was performed in triplicate.
For MTT assay, 5×103 early log phase of control or AMPH-1 knockdown cells were seeded in 96-well plates for the MTT assay. Cell density was measured by Cell Viability Kit (MTT, Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA) following the manufacturer's instructions. The absorbance value (OD) was read in a microtiter plate reader at wavelength of 570 nm. All experiments were repeated at least three times.
For colony formation assay, cells were seeded into 96 well dishes with density of 5×104 cells per well. Individual colonies were fixed and stained with a solution containing 0.2% crystal violet in 10% ethanol for 30 minutes. The amount of dye taken up by the monolayer is quantitated in a spectrophotometer or plate reader at 570 nm.

Cell Viability Assay for Sphingolipid/Cholesterol Pathway

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
2,000 cells were plated in triplicates in each well of a 96-well plate and 3-day MTT assays were performed using the Cell viability Kit (11465007001, Roche) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Cells were co-treated with DC661 +/− chemical inhibitors of sphingolipid/cholesterol pathway enzymes. MBCD pre-treatment was given for 3 h followed by co-treatment of the cells with MBCD +/− DC661 +/− water soluble cholesterol. LDL receptor was neutralized by the 2 h pre-treatment with anti-LDLR antibody followed by LDLR +/− DC661 treatment. An isotype antibody (AB-108-C, R&D Systems) was used as the control.

Cell Growth Analysis and Colony Formation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In our study, cell growth status was analyzed by two methods, the Celigo imaging cytometry system and MTT assays. The fluorescence intensity of cells was scanned and the number of cells was automatically calculated by Celigo imaging cytometry system (Nexcelom, Lawrence, MA, USA). Cell viability was measured with a Cell Viability Kit (MTT, Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The absorption of the solution was measured at 570 nm at various time points.
Colony formation assays were performed to assess the ability of a single cell to grow into a colony. Cells were plated at a low density (500-1000 cells/well) onto 6 well plates and observed for 2 weeks. Colonies were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, stained with 0.5% crystal violet staining solution and washed with PBS.

Cell Viability Assay Using MTT

For assay of cell growth, cells were seeded at 5 × 10 3 per well into a 96 well-plate and subjected to a Cell Viability Kit (MTT, Roche, Indianapolis, IN, USA), according to the instruction of the manufacturer. The MTT assay is a colorimetric assay for assessing viable cell number, taking advantage that NADPH-dependent cellular oxidoreductase enzymes in viable cells reduce the tetrazolium dye 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) to its insoluble formazan in purple readily being quantified by absorbance value (OD) at 570 nm in a microtiter plate reader (Promega, Fitchburg, WI, USA). Experiments were performed 5 times.

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.
