Publication protocol

Cell migration through basement membrane extract was assayed using Cultrex basement membrane extract cell invasion assay in a 24- or 96-well plate format (Trevigen Inc., Gaithersburg, MD). Cells were starved overnight in serum-free medium, detached by treatment with Accutase, and resuspended in serum-free medium to give 106 live cells ml−1. In the final assay setup, each upper well of the modified Boyden chamber contained 5 × 104 cells (24-well format) or 0.5 × 104 cells (96-well format). To test the effects of concanamycin, the inhibitor was added to an aliquot of the cell suspension to give a final concentration of 1 μm in the upper chamber (0.5% v/v DMSO, also included in control wells). Soluble recombinant receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (PeproTech, London, UK) was used at 10 μg ml−1. As chemoattractant, the bottom well of each chamber contained medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Plates were incubated at 37 °C (5% v/v CO2) for 24 h, after which time any cells that had passed through the basement membrane extract/polycarbonate membrane were detached. Cells were quantified by incubating with calcein-AM and measuring the internalized fluorescence signal in a plate reader accessory attached to a Cary Eclipse scanning fluorimeter or FlexStation 3 (excitation at 485 nm and emission at 520 nm).
