[In Vitro]

After incubation with Ac-DEVD-AFC for 1 hour, significant increase of caspase-3 activity is observed at 4 hour compare with control. There are no significant increases of caspase-3 activity in Photofrin and LPLI group. The cleavage of Ac-DEVD-AFC in response to caspase-3 activation is remarkably inhibited by shRNA-BimL transfection[1].

[Cell Assay]

For the detection of caspase-3 activity, PBS washes cell pellets (derive from either the medium or the adherent cells) which are suspended in extract buffer [25 mM HEPES (pH7.4), 0.1% TritonX-l00, 10% glycerol, 5 mM DTT, 1mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, 10 mg/mL pepstatin, and 10 mg/mL Leupeptin] and vortexed vigorously. 20μl of extract (corresponding to 10% of the sample) are incubated with the caspase-3 fluorogenic substrates Ac-DEVD-AFC at 100 μM final concentration at room temperature, and caspase-3 activity is measured continuously by monitoring the release of fluorigenic AFC at 37°C[1].
