Expression of marine luciferases does not alter target cells sensitivity to cytotoxic agents. (A) LDH release assay. K562 cells stably expressing Gluc, Nluc, Tluc16, Mluc7, and parental line were plated in a 96-well U bottom plate in phenol red free media, followed by treatment with media alone (control), digitonin (30 µg/ml for 90 minutes), or 1% Triton X-100 (TX100) for 45 minutes. Post incubation the plates were spun at 250 g for 4 minutes. Supernatants were carefully transferred into a flat bottom plate followed by the calorimetric detection of LDH activity as described in the manufacturer protocol. (B) Calcein release assay. Indicated cell lines were pre-incubated with Calcein-AM as described in methods section and the experiment set up was same as for LDH release assay, except that the supernatants were transferred into a black walled flat bottom plate followed by measurement of fluorescence (Excitation 485 ± 9 nm, Emission 530 ± 9 nm) in a Biotek Synergy plate reader.
