Responsible person Dragana Đačić Active substance Analysis Cisplatin, Methanolic extract of leaves from Ligustrum Western Blot (UM.11) vulgare HCT-116 UM.01, UM.02, UM.03, UM.04 Methanolic extract of fruit from Ligustrum vulgare Title Determination of changes on protein profile and Western blotting detection of protein in different treatment on HCT-116 cell line The aim of this study was to determinate of changes on protein profile in HCT-116 Objective cell line treated with cisplatin and methanolic extracts from leaves and fruit of Ligustrum vulgare Material, Drugs methods, patients HCT-116 cell line were treated with 2 ml 50 µM of cisplatin, 50 µg/ml methanolic extract of leaves from Ligustrum vulgare, and 50 µg/ml methanolic extract of fruits from Ligustrum vulgare for 24 h. Cell preparation and culturing (UM.01, UM.02, UM03) HCT-116 (human colon cancer) was obtained from American Type Culture Collection. Cells were maintained in DMEM supplemented by 10% FBS, with 100 units/ml of penicillin and 100 µg/ml of streptomycin. Cells were cultured in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37 °C. Cells were growth in 75 cm2 culture bottles supplied with 15 ml DMEM, and after a few passages cells were seeded in 6-well plate (exponentially growing viable cells were used throughout the assay). Western blot (UM.11) HCT-116 cell line were seeded in 6-well plate (100 000 cells per well). After 48 h of cells incubation, the medium was replaced with 2 ml of medium containing 50 μM concentrations of cisplatin, 50 µg/ml methanol extract of leaves and 50 µg/ml methanol extract of fruit from Ligustrum vulgare. Untreated cells served as a control. After 24 h of treatment we were lyses cells and determinate of concentration of proteins. We were measure concentration of proteins by Lowry method. After determination of protein concentration we prepared gel for separating proteins by electrophoresis. After electrophoresis we were putted gel and nitrocellulose membrane in “sandwich”. Sandwich: Black/cathode = 1sponge + 1Watmann + Gel + Nitrocellulos membrane + 1 Watmann + 1 sponge = Red/anode. After 1 h protein migration on membrane. We added primary antibody for marking protein. Incubation period was 1h. After washing we were putted secondary HRPDragana Đačić, MSci Snežana Marković, PhD 2 labeled antibody. For detection of marking protein we mixed ECL kit: 1 mL solution A + 1 mL solution B and spread 300 µL of mixture on membrane. Detection was done at 428nm.
