J. Biol. Chem. 273(1), 28-32.. Activation of the Jak2-Stat5 signaling pathway in Nb2 lymphoma cells by an anti-apoptotic agent, aurintricarboxylic acid. 1998

Rui, H., Xu, J., Mehta, S., Fang, H., Williams, J., Dong, F., and Grimley, P.M.

Notes: The MTT-based CellTiter 96® Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay was used to measure the viability of serum-deprived prolactin-dependent Rat lymphoma Nb2 cells cultured in the presence of ovine prolactin and aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA). ATA was demonstrated to stimulate growth of Nb2 cells and protect against staurosporine-induced apoptosis. Promega’s Anti-ACTIVE™ MAPK pAb was used on Western blots to demonstrate that ATA stimulates phosphorylation of MAPK. (1702)

Rui, H. , Xu, J., Mehta, S., Fang, H., Williams, J., Dong, F., Grimley, P.M.

Notes: The CellTiter® 96 Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay (MTT) was used to measure the proliferative response of quiescent Nb2 pre-B-cell lymphoma cells (40,000 cells/well) to control media, ovine prolactin and aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA). Nb2 cells proliferated in response to ATA, and ATA was found to activate ERK2. ATA at 250µM activated ERK2 within 4min as shown by blots with the Anti-ACTIVE® MAPK pAb. (0464)

Yang, X.-M., Toma, J.G., Bamji, S.X., Belliveau, D.J., Kohn, J., Park, M., Miller, F.D.

Notes: NGF-dependent pure sympathetic rat neurons from the superior cervical ganglion were cultured 2 days in various concentrations of NGF plus HGF, NGF plus anti-HGF or HGF alone. The surviving neurons were assayed with the CellTiter 96® Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation System. The authors use 50µl of Dye Solution to 500µl of media in a 24-well plate with a reaction time of 2 hours. The cells were lysed in 100µl of a 0.065N HCl/isopropanol solution rather than the recommended Solubilization/Stop Solution. (0142)

Blood 91, 1548-1555. Both stroma and stem cell factor maintain long-term growth of ELM erythroleukemia cells, but only stroma prevents erythroid differentiation in response to erythropoietin and interleukin-3 1998

O'Prey, J., Leslie, N., Itoh, K., Ostertag, W., Bartholomew, C., Harrison, P.R.

Notes: The CellTiter 96® Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay was used to assess the growth factor requirements of murine erythroleukemia cells in culture. The cells were cultured for five days with various cytokines and growth factors prior to assay. Several of the IGF-1 independent clones analyzed by western blotting with the Anti-ACTIVE® MAPK pAb were found to have a constitutive level of activated MAP Kinase. Study also shows serum is a very potent activator of MAPK in serum-starved cells. (0567)

Mol. Cell. Biol. 18, 1236-1247. Overexpression of the nucleoporin CAN/NUP214 induces growth arrest, nucleocytoplasmic transport defects and apoptosis 1998

Boer, J., Bonten-Surtel, J. and Grosveld, G.

Notes: The CAN gene product was expressed from a tetracycline inducible promoter in U937T cells. Induction of the protein inhibited cell growth, and uninduced cells were indistinguishable from untransfected control cells. Co-expression of Bcl-XL could not rescue the cells. Cell proliferation was monitored every day for four days using the CellTiter 96® Non-Radioactive Cell Proliferation Assay. Inhibition of cell proliferation was directly proportional to the amount of the CAN gene product expressed. (1420)
