Pitfalls and other issues with the MTT assay
While the colorimetric assay commonly referred to as ‘MTT’ does provide an indication of effects of photodamage on mitochondrial enzyme levels, a careful analysis showed that the resulting data were not correlated with a clonogenic assay.

PARP inhibitors are used to treat a small subset of prostate cancer patients. These studies reveal that PARP1 activity and expression are different between European American and African American prostate cancer tissue samples. Additionally, different PARP inhibitors cause unique and overlapping transcriptional changes, notably, p53 pathway upregulation.

The MTT assay is based on the conversion of MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide into purple formazan crystals by LIVINGcells, which determines the mitochondrial activity of these cells. Viable cells contain NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase enzymes which reduce MTT to formazan.1The insoluble formazan crystals ...
