05% MS). The total 2 μl solution was applied onto a target disk and allowed to air dry. Mass-to-charge ratios were measured in a reflector/delayed extraction #Thiazovivin molecular weight randurls[1|1|,|CHEM1|]# mode with an accelerating voltage of 20 kV, a grid voltage of 63%-65%, positive polarity, and a delay time of 200 nanoseconds. Laser shots at 300 per spectrum were used to acquire the spectra with a range from 800 to 4000 Daltons. Trypsin autolysis products were used for internal mass calibration. Database searching was performed
by using Mascot software http://www.matrixscience.com. The search parameters were the nrNCBI database, human, 10-150 kDa, trypsin (1 missed enzymatic cleavage), and 100-ppm mass tolerance. The best match was the one with the highest BAY 80-6946 ic50 score, and a significant match was typically a score of the order of 70 (P < 0.05) [16, 17]. Western blot Cell lysates (50 μg) were loaded onto 12% SDS-polyacrylamide gels, transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes, and subjected to western blot analysis[7]. The transferred membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against HSP60 at 1:1000 dilutions. The membranes then were
washed three times in Tris Buffered Saline with Tween (TBST). Bands were detected using a horseradish peroxidase-linked second antibody and enhanced chemiluminescence reagents, according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Equivalent numbers 1 × 106 of PcDNA3.1(IGFBP7)-RKO transfectants and PcDNA3.1-RKO transfectants (control) were plated in 6-well plates. After attachment, the media were then changed to 1.5 ml of serum-free media and allowed to incubate on the cells for additional 24 h. The cell supernatants
were then collected, centrifuged to discard cellular debris, and analyzed using HSP60 ELISA kit as recommended by the manufacturer. Cell Tyrosine-protein kinase BLK proliferation assay Cell proliferation was measured using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8, Dojindo Laboratories, Japan). In brief, PcDNA3.1(IGFBP7)-RKO cells were plated in sextuple in 96-well microtitre plates at 3 × 103/well, cultured with medium with or without recombinant HSP60 protein(1 μg/ml). Ten μl of CCK8 was added to each well at the time of harvest (12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, 60 h, 72 h). Two hours after adding CCK8, cellular viability was determined by measuring the absorbance of the converted dye at 450 nm. Anchorage-independent growth assay PcDNA3.1(IGFBP7)-RKO cells (500/well) were seeded into 0.3% Bacto-agar (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) over a 0.6% agar bottom layer in triplicate in 6-well plates, with or without 1 μg/ml HSP60. Plates were incubated in a 37°C/5% CO2, humid atmosphere for 3 weeks. Colonies were counted using a dissecting microscope. The wells were then analyzed for colony number and size. Colonies >100 μm in diameter were counted under a dissecting microscope. Three independent experiments were conducted.
