Fc500 flow cytometry

Manufactured by Beckman Coulter
Sourced in United States

The FC500 is a flow cytometry instrument manufactured by Beckman Coulter. It is designed to analyze and sort cells or other particles in a fluid sample, providing information about their size, granularity, and fluorescent properties. The FC500 utilizes laser technology to detect and measure the characteristics of individual cells or particles as they pass through a focused beam of light.

For the cell cycle, the NP cells were fixed overnight using 70% ethanol. Then, the cells were stained with the addition of propidium iodide (ThermoFisher Scientific, WA, USA). Ultimately, FC500 flow cytometry (Beckman, California, USA) was applied to assess the cell cycle of NP cells.
For the cell apoptosis, the NP cells were washed three times. Seventy percent ethanol was applied to fix these cells and the cell density was adjusted to 1 × 106 cells. Next, 5 μl of Annexiv-FITC (Nanjing Genechem Co, Ltd., China) was added and incubated in darkness at 37 °C for approximately 30 min. Then, propidium iodide (PI) (Nanjing Genechem Co, Ltd., China) was added and continue to incubate in darkness for nearly 30 min. FC500 flow cytometry (Beckman, California, USA) was applied to test NP cell apoptosis.

Lentiviral transductions were conducted as previously described [49 (link)]. Briefly, 2.5 x 107 HEK-293T cells in T-225 flasks (Corning) were transfected with 25 μg of lentiviral vectors, 25 μg of pCMV-dR8.91, and 5 μg of pMDG-VSV-G using TrasIT-293 transfection reagent (Mirus) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Three days after transfections, supernatants were centrifuged with Centricon plus-70 (Millipore) for 35 minutes at 3500 rpm and collected and filtered through 0.45 μm HV DURAPORE (Millipore), and viral titer was measured and stored at −80°C. For shRNA or BMI1 overexpression, BM-MSCs were transduced with lentiviral vectors (MOI 3). shRNAs expressing MSCs were subsequently selected by 5 ug ml−1 puromycin (Invivogen) for 2 days and the expression of BMI1 was checked by western blot or qRT-PCR. Transduction efficiency of overexpressed BMI1 in MSCs was checked by FC500 flow cytometry (Beckman-Coulter).

For cell cycle analysis, transiently transfected U87 and U251 cells were cultured in six-well plates. All cells were harvested by trypsinization after 48 h, washed with ice-cold PBS two times, and then fixed with 75% ethanol at 4 °C overnight. The cells were resuspended in 200 μL PBS with 5 μL RNase and 10 μL propidium iodide (PI) (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) for 25 min in the dark at room temperature. Cell cycle distribution was evaluated by FC500 flow cytometry (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).
A cell apoptosis assay was carried out by using Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) Apoptosis Detection Kit (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Briefly, U87 and U251 cells transfected with siRNA1-RACK1, siRNA2-RACK1, or si-NC were harvested after 72 h for apoptosis analysis. A total of 195 μL of binding buffer, 5 μL of Annexin V-FITC, and 3 μL of propidium iodide (PI) were added to the suspension, and cells were incubated for 10 min at room temperature in the dark. The cells were immediately examined by flow cytometry (Beckman Coulter, Atlanta, GA, USA). All experiments were conducted independently at least three times.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
