Biotracker far red labile fe2 dye

Manufactured by Merck Group

BioTracker Far-red Labile Fe2+ dye is a fluorescent probe designed for the detection and monitoring of labile iron(II) ions in biological systems. The dye exhibits a shift in its fluorescence emission spectrum upon binding to ferrous iron, allowing for the visualization and quantification of iron(II) levels.

Multimodal Characterization of Breast Cancer Cells in Co-Culture with MSCs

We separated breast cancer cells in co-culture conditions from MSCs using human EpCAM microbeads as described above for CSC and ER staining experiments. We performed CSC staining and analysis as previously described (36 (link)).
We stained for ER-α using [E115]-ChIP Grade (#ab32063, Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA) antibody at the manufacturer’s recommended dilution. We then fixed and permeabilized cells using eBioscience Intracellular Fixation and Permeabilization Buffer Set (#88-8824-00, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA). We based flow cytometry gates on secondary only control.
We measured reactive oxygen species (ROS) using CellROX Green Reagent (#C10444, ThermoFisher), labile iron using BioTracker Far-red Labile Fe2+ dye (#SCT037, Sigma Aldrich), intracellular Zn2+ using BioTracker 515 Green Zn2+ DA Dye (#SCT032, Sigma Aldrich), intracellular Cu+ using BioTracker Green Copper Live Cell Dye (#SCT041, Sigma Aldrich), and relative lipid ROS using BODIPY-C11 reagent (#C10445, ThermoFisher) following manufacturer’s recommendations. We separated signals from cancer cells and stromal cells by GFP-tagged cancer cells for iron, mCherry-NLS-tagged cancer cells for ROS, zinc, and copper stains, and BFP-NLS-tagged cancer cells for lipid ROS.

Measuring Iron Levels and Lipid Peroxidation in Cells

Data acquisition and data analysis were conducted at the Cochin Cytometry and Immunobiology Facility. For iron assay measurements using BioTracker Far-red Labile Fe2+ Dye (called FerroFarRed, #SCT037, Sigma; Thermofischer; Waltham, MA), 2 × 105 cells were washed twice in PBS to remove extracellular Fe2+ then labeled with 2 µM Sirhonox for 60 min in a tissue culture incubator (37 °C, 5% CO2) in the dark and then washed twice again. The pelleted cells were then resuspended in 0.3 mL of PBS. FCM data were collected using a BD Navios flow cytometer. 10,000 events were recorded for analysis. Data analysis was then carried out with KALUZA software. For lipid peroxide production measurements using C11- BODIPY (581/591) (2 mM) (Thermofischer, Waltham, MA), 2 × 105 cells were labeled with C11-BODIPY in 1 mL of warm complete medium for 10 min in a tissue culture incubator (37 °C, 5% CO2) in the dark. Cells were then washed twice and resuspended in 200 µL of fresh PBS. FCM data were collected using a C6 Accuri flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Le Pont de Claix, France) with CFlow Plus software. 10,000 events were captured for subsequent analysis with CFlow Plus software (Becton Dickinson, Le Pont de Claix, France).

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.
