1×103 cells were seeded at 96-well plates and cultured for 24 h. The cell proliferation assay was performed on days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) (Dojindo Laboratories, Japan). 10 μl CCK-8 reagent was added to each well and then the plate was incubated for 2 h at 37°C. At the endpoint of incubation, the absorbance was measured at 450 nm using a Vmax microplate spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA). Each sample was assayed in triplicate and repeated 3 times independently.

Cell Count Kit-8 (CCK-8) (Dojindo Molecular Technologies, Tokyo, Japan) was used to evaluate cell proliferation. PC3 and DU145 cells stably transfected with pCDH-miR-4638-5p, pCDH-miR-4638-5p sponge, pCDH-shKidins220, pCDH-shAKT and pCDH-vector controls were seeded into 96-well plates at density of 2 × 103 cells per well and cultured for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days and 6 days. Each well of cells were then cultured in 20 μl of CCK-8 solution in addition to the 200 μl of culture medium for 1.5 hours at 37°C. Absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a Vmax microplate spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices). LNCaP cells transfected with pCDH-miR-4638-5p sponge and pCDH-vector control were seeded into 96-well plates (also 2 × 103 cells per well) in the RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% charcoal-stripped FBS and cultured for 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days and 5 days. Then the cell proliferation ability was evaluated using CCK-8 solution as described above.

Cell aliquots (100 μL) were transferred into each well of 96-well microtiter plates at a concentration of 1 × 104 cells/mL. CCK-8 (Dojindo Laboratories, Japan) was used to test the cell proliferation ability every 24 h and would last 6 d. Each day we added 10 μL of CCK-8 reagents into each well and then incubated the plates at 37 °C for 2 h. After the incubation, the absorbance of each well was measured at 450 nm using the Vmax microplate spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices, CA).

Approximately 2,000 stably transfected cells were distributed onto 96-well plates. Once attached, they were prepared as per their individual study procedure. Subsequently, 20 µl Cell Counting Kit−8 reagent (CK04, Dojindo Kumamoto, Japan) was supplemented to individual wells and retained for 2 h. Vmax microplate spectrophotometer (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) was used to measure the absorbance at 450 nm wavelength. These assays were performed in triplicate.

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.
