Measurement of inhibitory activities of MG-132 against 20S proteasome |
The reaction mixture for the 20S proteasome inhibitory assay contains 0.1 M Tris-acetate, pH 7.0, 20S proteasome, MG-132, and 25 μM substrate dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide in a final volume of 1 mL. After incuba tion at 37 °C for 15 minutes, the reaction is stopped by the addition of 0.1 mL of 10% SDS and 0.9 mL of 0.1M Tris acetate, pH 9.0. The fluorescence of the reaction products is measured. To determine the IC50 against 20S proteasome, various concentrations of MG-132 are included in the assay mixture. |

Cell Lines |
KIM-2, HC11, and ES |
Concentrations |
Dissolved in DMSO, final concentrations ~25 μM |
Incubation Time |
24, and 48 hours |
Methods |
Cells are exposed to various concentrations of MG-132 for 24, and 48 hours. Supernatant and monolayer cells are harvested by centrifugation and fixed in 70% ethanol in PBS for staining with acridine orange. Equal volumes of cells and acridine orange (5 mg/mL in PBS) are mixed on a microscope slide and examined by fluorescence microscopy. For annexin V analysis, cells are harvested by centrifugation and stained with annexin V and propidium iodide. For cell cycle analysis, cells are rehydrated in PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes, followed by staining with propidium iodide (5 mg/mL). All samples are analyzed using a Coulter Epics XL flow cytometer. |
