Assay: Automated Capillary Electrophoresis Immunoassay
DC50:  2.1700000000000004 nM
Assay description: HCT116 cells were purchased from ATCC and cultivated in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 IU/ml), streptomycin (100 μg/ml) and L-glutamine (2 mM). Cells were cultured at 37°C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2.

Cells were seeded in 96 microwell plates, 24 h later cells were treated with compounds (2-point 10/100 nM and/or 9-point serial dilution to determine DC50; quadruplicates) during 24 h and harvested in lysis buffer containing 10 mM Hepes (pH 7.5), 150 mM KCl, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, 0.4% TritonX100, protease and phosphatase inhibitors cocktails (Calbiochem).

Protein concentration in the supernatants was determined using the Pierce BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Lysates (1.5 μg/μL) were analyzed using an automated capillary electrophoresis WES system with 2-40 kDa Wes Separation Module (25 capillary cartridges, Proteinsimple), in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols. Antibodies against the following proteins were used: Bcl-xL (#2764, Cell Signaling Technology, 1:50) and cofilin (#5175, Cell Signaling Technology, 1:1000). Signals were detected with an HRP-conjugated secondary anti-rabbit antibody (#042-206, Proteinsimple) and were quantified using Compass software (version 4.0, Proteinsimple).

Bcl-xL level was calculated by normalizing Bcl-xL values to cofilin and expressed as a percentage of the normalized value of the untreated cells. DC50 were calculated using standard four-parametric curve fitting. DC50 is defined as the compound concentration at which Bcl-xL is reduced to 50% of that measured for the control. Measured levels of Bcl-xL protein of HCT116 cells treated with the tested compounds at 2-point 10nM / 100nM and/or 9-point for DC50 determination are shown in Table 15.
