| Description: | This test is based on measuring the expression of the AKT protein phosphorylated on serine 473. The phosphorylation of AKT (pAKT) is measured by western blotting in the PC3 human prostate carcinoma line (ATCC CRL-1435), using an antibody that specifically recognises pAKT-S473.On day 1, the PC3 cells are seeded into 6-well plates (TPP, #92006) at the concentration of 0.8x106 cells/well in 1800 ul of DMEM medium (DMEM Gibco #11960-044) containing 10% of foetal calf serum (SVF Gibco, #10500-056) and 1% glutamine (L-Glu Gibco #25030-024), and incubated at 37 C., 5% CO2, overnight.On day 2, the cells are incubated in the presence or absence of the test products for 1 to 2 hours at 37 C. in the presence of 5% CO2. The molecules, diluted in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO Sigma #D2650), are added from a 10-times concentrated stock solution, the final percentage of DMSO being 0.1%. The molecules are tested either at a single concentration of less than or equal to 10 uM, or .... |
