Detection of Caspase activity in Jurkat cells Caspase 3/7.

Caspase 3/7, Caspase 8 and Caspase 9 Multiplex Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric) (ab219915). Detection of Caspase activity in Jurkat cells graphs shown Caspase 3/7 activity. Jurkat cells were seeded on the same day at 2 x 105 cells/well in a Costar black wall/clear bottom 96-well plate. Cells were either left untreated (black bar) or treated with 1 μM staurosporine for 4 hours (gray bar). Single-caspase assay loading solution (100 μL/well; #1 for Caspase 3/7, #2 for caspase 8 or #3 for caspase 9) or Triple-caspase assay loading solution (100 μL/well; #4 for Caspase 3/7, 8 and 9 together) was added to cells, followed by an incubation at RT for 1 hour. The fluorescence intensity was measured with FlexStation fluorescence microplate reader at the indicated wavelength. Caspase 3/7, 8 and 9 activities can be detected in a single assay without interferences from other caspases.

Product details

Caspase-3/7, Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 Multiplex Activity Assay Kit (Fluorometric) is designed to simultaneously monitor three key caspases involved in apoptosis: the initiator caspases caspase 8 and caspase 9, and the executioner Caspase 3.

How the assay works

The kit uses DEVD-ProRed™, IETD-R110 and LEHD-AMC as fluorogenic indicators for Caspase 3, caspase 8 and caspase 9 activity respectively. Upon caspase cleavage, three distinct fluorophores are released: ProRed™ (red fluorescence), R110 (green fluorescence) and AMC (blue fluorescence), which can be readily monitored in a single assay due to their spectral separation.

This product has been optimized for use in a microplate reader in a 96-well plate, providing enough reagent to perform 100 tests for each caspase.

Caspase-3/7, Caspase-8 and Caspase-9 protocol summary

- Grow and treat cells with test compounds to induce caspase activation

- Add caspase assay solution to cells

- Incubate at room temperature for 30-60 minutes

- Monitor fluorescence intensity at: Ex/Em = 535/620 nm (Caspase 3/7), Ex/Em = 490/525 nm (Caspase 8), Ex/Em = 370/450 nm (Caspase 9)

How other researchers are using this kit

ab219915 has been used in a variety of cancer cell lines including MCF-7 (breast cancer) cell line (1), U87MG (human glioblastoma) and MES-SA (human uterine sarcoma) cell lines (2).

Target data

Thiol protease that acts as a major effector caspase involved in the execution phase of apoptosis (PubMed : 18723680, PubMed : 20566630, PubMed : 23650375, PubMed : 35338844, PubMed : 35446120, PubMed : 7596430). Following cleavage and activation by initiator caspases (CASP8, CASP9 and/or CASP10), mediates execution of apoptosis by catalyzing cleavage of many proteins (PubMed : 18723680, PubMed : 20566630, PubMed : 23650375, PubMed : 7596430). At the onset of apoptosis, it proteolytically cleaves poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase PARP1 at a '216-Asp-|-Gly-217' bond (PubMed : 10497198, PubMed : 16374543, PubMed : 7596430, PubMed : 7774019). Cleaves and activates sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) between the basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper domain and the membrane attachment domain (By similarity). Cleaves and activates caspase-6, -7 and -9 (CASP6, CASP7 and CASP9, respectively) (PubMed : 7596430). Cleaves and inactivates interleukin-18 (IL18) (PubMed : 37993714, PubMed : 9334240). Involved in the cleavage of huntingtin (PubMed : 8696339). Triggers cell adhesion in sympathetic neurons through RET cleavage (PubMed : 21357690). Cleaves DSG2 in response to apoptosis resulting in a loss of full length DSG2 at desmosome cell junctions and subsequent loss of cell-cell adhesion (PubMed : 17559062). Also cleaves JUP in response to apoptosis (PubMed : 17559062). Cleaves and inhibits serine/threonine-protein kinase AKT1 in response to oxidative stress (PubMed : 23152800). Acts as an inhibitor of type I interferon production during virus-induced apoptosis by mediating cleavage of antiviral proteins CGAS, IRF3 and MAVS, thereby preventing cytokine overproduction (PubMed : 30878284). Also involved in pyroptosis by mediating cleavage and activation of gasdermin-E (GSDME) (PubMed : 35338844, PubMed : 35446120). Cleaves XRCC4 and phospholipid scramblase proteins XKR4, XKR8 and XKR9, leading to promote phosphatidylserine exposure on apoptotic cell surface (PubMed : 23845944, PubMed : 33725486). Cleaves BIRC6 following inhibition of BIRC6-caspase binding by DIABLO/SMAC (PubMed : 36758104, PubMed : 36758106).
