Abstract
Inducing proteostasis stress in HeLa cells with G-TPP to analyse proteostasis protection and repair.
Day 1
Day 1
Seed cells in standard growth media, aiming for a density of ~80-90% the following day.
Day 2
Day 2
Feed cells for Duration01:00:00 prior to starting treatment by aspirating the media from each well and replacing with a standard volume of growth media (eg. Feed with 2 mL of media if using a 6 well plate).

1h
Aspirate the media from each well/plate, and replace with standard growth media that has had G-TPP added at a final concentration of Concentration9 micromolar (µM) (for the DMSO control, add the same volume of DMSO as you added G-TPP to each well/plate).

Day 3
Day 3
Harvest the G-TPP treated samples and DMSO control samples after the desired incubation period (eg. 2 – 12 h).
For samples to be analysed followed after G-TPP removal, aspirate the treatment media from each sample, wash each sample 3x in an ample amount of room temperature PBS (eg. 3 mL per well for a 6 well plate).
After 3x PBS washes, add an appropriate volume of standard growth media to each well/plate (eg. 2 mL of standard growth media per well for a 6 well plate).
Day 4
Day 4
Harvest the 24 h recovery (24 h R) time point, at Duration24:00:00 after the washout step (steps 5 – 6) was performed.

1d
Replace the media on the plate for the 48 hour recovery (48 h R) samples with an appropriate volume of standard growth media (eg. 2 mL of standard growth media per well for a 6 well plate).
Day 5
Day 5
1d
1d
Harvest the 48 h R samples, Duration24:00:00 after the samples had fresh standard growth media added (step 8).
