Single-cell suspensions of skin and dLN cells were incubated with anti-CD16/CD32 (TONBO Biosciences) for 5 min, and then stained using the fluorochrome-conjugated antibodies described in Table S1. Intracellular GzmB and CTLA-4 were stained using Fixation Buffer and 10 × Permeabilization Wash Buffer (BioLegend) as described in the manufacturer's protocol. The fluorescence intensity of KikGR-Red was reduced by fixation, thus, the proportion of KikGR-Red+ cells was lower in samples subjected to intracellular staining than in fresh samples. Dead cells were stained with 7-AAD (eBioscience) or propidium iodide (Wako) and excluded from our analyses. Stained samples were analyzed using a SP6800 Spectral Cell Analyzer (SONY). All data were exported as FCS files and analyzed using FlowJo software (Tree Star).

Measuring Plant Root Cell Length and Meristem

To obtain fully elongated cortical cell length measurements and meristematic cell counts, the root tips of plants grown on solid media were stained and observed. Under severely low B (0.1 μM), primary roots (PR) of 4-d-old plants were used, in which Col-0 had shorter roots than the tmn1 mutants, but in which root tip cells had not severely collapsed. PRs were collected directly from solid media and stained with 10 μg ml–1 propidium iodide (PI; FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical, Japan) for 15 min, then rinsed twice in ultrapure water. Under normal B (100 μM), 11-d-old plants were used, in which root growth inhibition was obvious in the mutants. PRs were collected directly from solid media and stained with PI as described above for 40 min. Images were obtained using a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM510, Zeiss, Germany). The excitation and detection wavelength windows were set at 488 and >540 nm, respectively. Up to three fully elongated cortical cells were selected from each PR; their longitudinal lengths were measured using ImageJ software (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/). The numbers of cortical cells between the quiescent centre and the first elongating cortical cell were counted in the PI-stained PRs. Counting was performed using the Cell Counter ImageJ plugin (https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/plugins/cell-counter.html).

Strain was precultured in liquid YPD medium at 25°C, and a stationary phase culture was diluted 100 folds to 10 ml of a new YPD. Cell suspension was diluted 10 folds to normal saline buffer containing 10 μg/ml of propidium iodide (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Japan) and 1 mg/ml of RNase (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Japan) and incubated at 37°C for 2 h. Stained cells were diluted 10 folds to sterilized distilled water and applied to a flow cytometry, On-chip Sort (FISHMAN, On-Chip Biotechnologies, Japan) according to the procedure manuals.

Late apoptosis/necrosis was evaluated by staining for propidium iodide (Wako). In brief, A549 cells (A549‐shScramble and A549‐shTFF‐1‐A) (5 × 105 cells) were seeded on a 6‐cm dish; after 4 days, the cells were trypsinized and resuspended at 1 × 106 cells/100 μL in RPMI. Thereafter, propidium iodide at a concentration of 50 μg/mL was added and incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes. Subsequent analysis was carried out using FACSVerse (Becton Dickinson) and FlowJo version 10.6.1 software. Results are calculated as mean ± SD of values from 3 individual experiments.

All reagents and solvents purchased were the highest commercial quality and used without further purification otherwise noted. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was purchased from KANTO chemicals. Propidium iodide (PI), benzylpenicillin potassium, and streptomycin sulfate were purchased from Fujifilm Wako Chemicals. 1,3-Diphenylisobenzofuran (DPBF) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Minimum essential medium (MEM) and phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) were purchased from Nacalai Tesque. Fetal bovine serum (FBS) was purchased from Capricorn Products Inc. The Ir complex 7 was synthesized according to our previous paper [26 (link)], a stock solution of which in DMSO was prepared and stored at 0 °C prior to use. UV-Vis absorption spectra of DPBF were measured on a JASCO V-550 UV-vis spectrophotometer. The microscopic images of HeLa S3 cells were observed on fluorescent microscopy (Biorevo, BZ-x800, Keyence, Amagasaki, Japan).

Quantification of cellular DNA content at 72 h after transfection with control miRNA or #12 (5 nM) was determined by using a cytometer. Briefly, the cells were harvested and fixed with 70% cold ethanol at −20°C overnight. The fixed cells were then washed twice with PBS and resuspended in 100 μL PBS-based propidium iodide solution containing 0.1% Triton X-100 (Wako, Osaka, Japan), 0.2 mg/mL RNase A (Life Technologies), and 20 μg/mL propidium iodide (Life Technologies). Thereafter, they were incubated for 30 min at room temperature protected from the light. The DNA content in the cells was analyzed with a cytometer (The Tail Image-Based Cytometer, Life Technologies).

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.
