RARE Assay in 96-well Format

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To run the RARE assay in a 96-well plate format, C3RL4 cells were seeded in complete BME in a white cell culture plate (Corning, NY) at 14,000 cells/well and grown overnight at 37°C and 5% CO2 . In the agonist-mode assay, compound-containing medium was added to each assay well to reach final compound concentrations ranging from 8 μM to 0.5 nM (1:4 series dilution, 8 concentrations). In the antagonist-mode assay, compound-containing medium was added to each assay well immediately followed by addition of retinol-containing medium to reach final compound concentrations ranging from 50 μM to 3 nM (1:4 series dilution, 8 concentrations) and 1 μM retinol, respectively. The incubation was continued, protected from light exposure, for 6 hr at 37°C and 5% CO2. To terminate cell culture and measure luciferase activity, One-Glo reagent (Promega, Madison, WI) was added (1:1 volume) directly to each well and the plates were incubated (protected from light exposure) at room temperature for 30 min. Luminescence readout for each well was measured on a GloMax Multi+ plate reader (Promega) and the Relative Luminescence Unit (RLU) was analyzed using the Instinct (Promega), Microsoft Excel and Prism (Graphpad, La Jolla, CA) software packages.

Purified calcein-loaded LUVs were mixed with D-dfTAT in presence or absence of UNC7938 (1–100 μM) at a 1:50 peptide: lipid ratio for 1 h at room temperature in 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM NaH2PO4 pH5.5. UNC7938 stock solution Samples were centrifuged for 1 min at 4,000 rpm. To measure the amount of leaked calcein and separate soluble liposomes from released calcein, the supernatants were purified using an illustra NAP-10 Sephadex G-25 column (GE Healthcare) (the elution volumes of liposomes and free calcein were determined independently with pure samples). Fractions were collected in a 96-well plate and the fluorescence of calcein was measured using a Promega GloMax-Multi plate reader (Ex 490nm, Em 520–560nm). Note, since UNC7938 stock is dissolved in 100% DMSO. The control of D-dfTAT+ 0.1% DMSO (concentration of DMSO in the UNC7938 incubations) with liposomes was performed as a control. 100% leakage was established by treating liposomes with the detergent Triton X-100.

Quantifying TLR2 Activation by BLPs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TLR2 stimulation was assessed by reporter gene assay using human TLR2-expressing HEK293T cells (kindly provided by Dr. Tsuyoshi Sugiyama). HEK293T cells were transfected with a human TLR2-expressing plasmid, pNF-κB-TA-luc (a NF-κB-luciferase reporter plasmid), and pGL4.73 (constitutive Renila luciferase expression plasmid, internal control) using PEImax transfection reagent (Polysciences). After incubation for 48 h, cells were treated with various concentrations of BLPs or 100 ng/ml of Pam3CSK4 (a synthetic TLR2 ligand) for an additional 24 h. Luciferase activities were measured using the Dual-Glo luciferase assay system (Promega) and GloMax multiplate reader (Promega), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay in CaOV3 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Twenty-four hours before transfection, CaOV3 cells were seeded in antibiotic-free media in 12-well plates, at a density of 30 000 cells/well. One hundred nanogram of reporter was transfected using Lipofectamine 2000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Twenty-four hours after transfection, luciferase activity was assayed using the Dual Luciferase Reporter Assay (Promega) and a Glomax-Multi+ Plate Reader (Promega), following the manufacturer’s instructions. After subtracting background measurements, Renilla luciferase activity intensity (IRluc) was normalized over firefly luciferase activity (IFluc). The fold change expression of the reporters relative to psiCHECK2 was calculated as: (IRluc Reporter/IFluc Reporter)/(IRluc psiCHECK2/IFluc psiCHECK2). The assay was repeated least three times for each reporter and the P-value was calculated by Student’s t-test.

Lipid Binding Affinity of Peptides

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To determine the difference in the binding affinity of the peptides to LUVs of different lipid compositions, liposome binding assays were conducted. The LUVs were incubated for 1 h with either peptide at the same peptide to lipid ratio as the leakage assay (1:50) using the buffer composition of 100 mM NaCl, 10 mM NaH2PO4 pH 5.5. Samples were centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 3 min. The supernatant was removed to measure the amount of unbound peptide (using the fluorescence emission of TMR). To insure that quenching due to the proximity of the TMR fluorophore in the dfTAT constructs would not affect our results, the supernatant was reduced with TCEP (50 mM). The TMR fluorescence was measured using the red channel (Ex= 525nm, Em=580–640 nm) of a Promega GloMax-Multi plate reader (Promega). The amount of peptide bound to the MLVs was determined according to the following equation:
Pb=Ptot-P
Where Ptotal is the amount of peptide from the supernatant in the absence of MLVs, P is the fraction of unbound peptide at a particular lipid concentration and Pb is the fraction of bound peptide at a particular lipid concentration.

Investigating the Mechanism of 4EGI-1 in Modulating Protein Translation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mechanistically, 4EGI-1 binds with eIF4E to specifically disrupt association of eIF4G, a large scaffold protein that recruits the 40S ribosomal subunit, while promoting and stabilizing the binding of 4E-BP1 (Sekiyama et al., 2015 (link)). 10T1/2 cells were seeded at a density of 4.0×105 cells/well in a 96-well plate and incubated at 37°C overnight. The next day, cells were treated with 50 μM 4EGI-1 (Sigma, 324517) or DMSO in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 2 mM L-glutamine and incubated for 4 h at 37°C. Following treatment, cells were co-transfected with capped and poly(A)-tailed FLuc (100 ng) and RLuc reporter RNAs (10 ng) using Lipofectamine 2000 (Thermo Fisher, 11668–019). Cells were then re-treated with 50 μM 4EGI-1 or DMSO and incubated for a further 4 h at 37°C. After a total of 8 h of treatment (4 h prior to transfection and 4 h after transfection), cells were harvested in 1× Passive Lysis Buffer and luciferase activities were measured using a Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay System as per manufacturer’s instructions (Promega, E1980) on a GloMax-Multi plate reader (Promega).

Luciferase assays were performed as previously described60 (link) with the Dual-Luciferase Reporter Assay (Promega) on a GloMax multi+ plate reader (Promega). Briefly, cells were lysed with 30 µl 1× passive lysis buffer (Promega) each after two washes with ion-free phosphate buffered saline (1× PBS) and subjected to one freeze–thaw cycle at −80 °C. Luciferase assay reagent II (Promega) and stop & glo reagent (Promega) were prepared according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the luciferase activities were measured.

PASMC were seeded into 96-well plates, grown to 80–90% confluence and serum-starved for 24hrs. Cell were then incubated with the luminol-derived superoxide probe 8-amino-5-chloro-7-phenylpyrido[3,4-d]pyridazine-1,4-(2 H,3 H)-dione (L-012, 50 µM, Wako Pure Chemical Industries) [27] (link), in PBS at 37 °C. We also used an alternative chemi-luminescence ROS probe (ROS-Glo™, Promega) [28] to measure H2O2 production in IPA. Changes in luminescence induced by acute drug treatments were detected using a Promega GloMax Multi+ plate reader. Background measurements using ROS probe plus drug, but in the absence of cells/tissue, were subtracted from all equivalent test readings in the presence of cells/tissue. Each final value for each treatment for each batch of cells was the average of measurements from at least 8 identically treated wells in each plate.

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.
