Tunel staining

Manufactured by Beyotime
Sourced in China

TUNEL staining is a technique used to detect and visualize DNA fragmentation, a hallmark of apoptosis or programmed cell death. The TUNEL (Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP Nick End Labeling) assay incorporates modified nucleotides into the free 3'-hydroxyl ends of DNA fragments, allowing for the identification of cells undergoing apoptosis.

TUNEL Staining of Apoptotic Cells in Mouse Lung

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The lung sections (5 μM) were stained via terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining (Beyotime Biotech Inc., Nantong, China) to examine the apoptosis of cells in mouse lung according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Murine lung sections without any stimuli were incubated with 0.01 U/ul DNase I for 10 min at room temperature (RT) and were regarded as a positive control. For quantification of apoptotic cells, 20 random fields per section in each group were counted, and the average number of apoptosis per section was calculated.

TUNEL staining (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) was used to analyze cell apoptosis. Following fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 h at room temperature, sections of murine colons were rinsed in distilled water and incubated with 3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol for 5 min at room temperature to block endogenous peroxidase activity, following which the samples were deparaffinized using xylene and rehydrated in a descending ethanol series. The sections were incubated with 20 µg/ml proteinase K (Dako; Agilent Technologies, Inc.) for 15 min at room temperature, and TdT enzyme solution was added and incubated for 1 h at 37°C. The sections were then incubated with streptavidin-peroxidase conjugate for 30 min at 37°C. Peroxidase activity was demonstrated by the addition of 50 µl DAB for 10 min at room temperature and a light microscope was used to observe apoptosis in six randomly selected fields of view (magnification, ×200).

TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis in the resected tissue samples. Frozen tumor tissue sections (3–5 µm; stored at −20°C) from the indicated nude mice were processed for TUNEL staining (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, following fixation by 4% paraformaldehyde for 20–30 min at room temperature, the frozen sections were washed three times with PBS at room temperature (5 min each time). Then, sections were immersed in PBS containing 1% Triton X-100 for 20 min at room temperature. Each sample was incubated with 50 µl TdT enzyme reaction solution (45 µl equilibration buffer, 1 µl biotin-11-dUTP and 4 µl TdT enzyme) for 60 min at RT. Following PBS washing, 50 µl streptavidin-TRITC labeling buffer was added and incubated for 30 min at room temperature. Then, sections were covered with DAPI (1:1,000) for 10 min at RT. Finally, the sections were placed under a cover slip and scanned by Invitrogen EVOS FL AUTO (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.).

Two hours after reperfusion, the myocardium of the ischemic area was dissected and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4 °C overnight, and then embedded in paraffin. TUNEL staining was performed as described (Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai) [22 (link)]. Cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the myocardium was observed by confocal microscopy (Carl Zeiss, Germany).

The SD rats were sacrificed at 7 days after theaflavin treatment. The harvested brain tissues were cut into five equally-sized coronal sections (2–3 mm thickness) using an EM UC7 microtome (Leica Microsystems Inc., Wetzlar, Germany). The brain sections were then incubated with 2% 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) at 37°C for 15 min with gentle shaking. Subsequently, the brain sections were fixed with paraformaldehyde (4%) overnight. The stained slices were photographed and the infarct size was quantified using the Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software (Media Cybernetics, Inc., Rockville, MD, USA). For terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) staining (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China), the harvested brain tissues were cut into 2.5 mm blocks and fixed with paraformaldehyde overnight. Subsequently, blocks were embedded in paraffin and cut into 4-µm coronal sections, according to the manufacturer's protocol. Apoptotic images were obtained using the Axioplan 2 imaging system (Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany). Six sections of each sample were selected and five fields of each section were examined for quantification of apoptosis.

APAP (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) was dissolved in phosphate-buffered saline. Mice (8 weeks old) were fasted overnight and injected with APAP intraperitoneally at the dose of 400 mg/kg to induce hepatotoxicity and at the dose of 600 mg/kg to monitor survival rate. The serum was collected for alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. The tissue homogenates from the mouse liver were used to evaluate the levels of GSH with a commercial kit (Jiancheng Biotech, Nanjing, China). Liver damage was detected by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Cell death was evaluated by TUNEL staining (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer's instruction. In some cases, male WT and fat-1 mice were injected with 100 mg/kg β-estradiol (E2) intraperitoneally 1 week before APAP administration. To test the effect of exogenous n-3 PUFAs on APAP toxicity, male and female WT mice were fed with an n-3 PUFA-enriched diet 3 weeks before APAP injection.

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.
