TF‐1/IDH2‐R140Q and TF‐1/IDH2‐R172K cells were treated with compounds for 7 days in medium with 2 ng/mL hGM‐CSF, and another 7 days without hGM‐CSF. At the end of treatment, MTT solution was added to each well, and plates were incubated for 4 hours at 37°C. Formazan crystals formed were then solubilized in acidic isopropanol, and the optical density of the resulting solution was read at 570 nm using a Synergy H4 microplate reader (BioTek).

5 × 103 cells/well were seeded in complete medium on 96 well-plates 24 h before compounds treatment. BTI, T1, T2, and T3 were dissolved in complete medium at the indicated concentrations (DMSO reached the max value = 0.5 % v/v) and added to cells for 24 h at 37 °C in 5% CO2. When required, the cells were photo-irradiated by using a EVOS® FL cell imaging system equipped with an adjustable-intensity LED cube (Blue light: excitation = 470/22 nm) operating at 23 mW cm−2 for 6 min. T2- or T3-treated HeLa cells were also subjected to green or orange light irradiation, respectively. Adjustable-intensity LED cubes (Green light: excitation = 542/20 nm or Orange light: excitation = 585/29 nm) operating at 10 and 15.5 mW cm−2 for 6 or 14 min, respectively, were used to deliver the light. Then, the cells were incubated for additional 24 h at 37 °C in 5% CO2. At 48 h after compounds treatment, PrestoBlue (Invitrogen, Ref No: A13261) was added to each well and the cells were incubated at 37 °C in 5% CO2 for 3 additional h. Cell viability was measured by recording the fluorescence signal of PrestoBlueexcem: 560/590 nm) using a Synergy H4 microplate reader (Biotek). Each experiment was performed in duplicates/triplicates from distinct samples.

After cells are transfected with FBXL8-specific siRNA or control scrambled siRNA for 16 h, both Alamar blue and trypan blue dye exclusion were used to measure the cell proliferation. The cell growth was measured by Alamar blue. The metabolic activity of the cells was determined at 570 nm using a Synergy H4 microplate reader (BioTek) at time points indicated. For trypan blue dye exclusion, to assess total cell number, cells were scraped and resuspended in equal volumes of culture medium and trypan blue dye (0.4% solution; Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) and counted using an improved Neubauer hemocytometer.

Protein Extraction and DPP3 Activity Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total protein extracts were prepared from tail biopsies minced in 150 μL Tris–HCl, pH 7.8, and subjected to sonication and freeze-thawing cycles. For protein extracts from total bone, the tissue was frozen in liquid nitrogen and homogenized using aluminum beads and the TissueLyser II instrument (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Tissue debris were removed by centrifugation at 4°C. Protein concentration in the supernatants were estimated using the DC™ Protein Assay Kit II (Bio-Rad, Berkeley, CA, USA) following the manufacturer’s instructions, on a Synergy™ H4 Microplate Reader (BioTek Instruments, Inc., Winooski, VT, USA). DPP3 enzymatic activity was performed as reported,(31 (link)) with minor modifications. Briefly, 50 to 80 μg of protein extracts were assayed with 0.04 mM Arg-Arg-β-naphthylamide (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) in 250 μL Tris–HCl, pH 8.5, at room temperature (RT). The reaction was stopped by adding 50 μL of 2 M acetate buffer, pH 4.5, containing 10% Tween and 1.5 mg/mL Fast Blue B Salt (all chemicals from Sigma-Aldrich). The absorbance of the released product (β-naphthylamine) was measured at 530 nm, using SynergyTM H4 Microplate Reader. The enzymatic activity was expressed as percentage of the wild-type (WT) value.

To assay complex I activity, wildtype and Cnhsf3∆ strains were cultured separately overnight and grown to an OD600 of 0.8, then 100 μl of the resultant culture was mixed with 20 μl CellTiter 96® AQueous One Solution Reagent (Promega), which contains a novel tetrazolium compound, MTS. The mixture was placed in a 96-well assay plate and incubated at 30 or 40 °C for 1 h. NADH levels were determined by measuring absorbance at 490 nm using a MultiskanGO microplate reader (Thermo). All data were normalized using the number of colony-forming units (CFUs).
To monitor the ATP level, cells were prepared as described above. Strains were incubated at the indicated temperature for 30 min, then were disrupted using glass beads and a Bio-Spec bead beater for 3 rounds of 55 s each, resting on ice for 1 min between rounds. ATP levels were measured using the CellTiter-Glo Luminescent Cell Viability Assay (Beyotime) according to manufacturer instructions. The luminescent signal was measured using a Synergy H4 microplate reader (BioTek). All data were normalized to the protein concentration in the sample, which was determined using a MultiskanGO microplate reader (Thermo). Three independent experiments were performed, each including four technical replicates, and a representative data set is presented.

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.
