Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

EXAMPLE 2

Hep3B cells were seeded onto 6-well plates at a density of 1.6×105 cells per 2 mL DMEM per well. After 24 h, the plating media was replaced with fresh DMEM containing various concentrations of polymers: IC50 and 2×IC50. Cells were harvested after 4, 24, 48 or 72 h incubation, and stained using the Alexa Fluor® 488 annexin V/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit with Alexa® Fluor 488 annexin V and PI for flow cytometry (Invitrogen, Singapore) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The labeled cells were subjected to flow cytometry analysis (BD FACSAria II, Singapore).

FIGS. 2A-2C depict the percentage of live, apoptotic, and necrotic Hep3B cells after exposure to polymer 1c for 4 hours, in which FIG. 2A is a control, FIG. 2B reflects IC50, and FIG. 2C reflects 2×IC50. FIGS. 3A-3C depict the percentage of live, apoptotic, and necrotic Hep3B cells after exposure to polymer 1c for 72 hours, in which FIG. 3A is a control, FIG. 3B reflects IC50, and FIG. 3C reflects 2×IC50.

SKOV-3 cells were seeded at 1×106 cells per well in 6-well plates and further cultured for 24 h. The culture media were replaced by 2 mL of fresh culture media containing 10% FBS. Free cisplatin solution, Zn control, Zn control/siRNAs, NCP-1, NCP-1/siRNAs, NCP-1/siBcl-2, NCP-1/siP-gp, and NCP-1/sisurvivin were added to the cells, respectively, at cisplatin concentration of 5 µM or equivalent nanoparticle concentration of 20 µg/mL. Cells incubated with saline served as control. Following incubation for 24 h, the floating and adherent cells were collected by cell scraper and stained with Alexa Fluor 488 Annexin V/dead cell apoptosis kit with Alexa Fluor 488 annexin V and PI (Invitrogen, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The apoptosis was examined on a flow cytometer (LSRII Blue, BD, USA).

Quantifying Apoptosis via Annexin V/PI Flow

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) staining was performed to detect apoptotic cells. Seventy-two hours after transfection, 5 × 105 cells were collected and washed twice with ice-cold PBS. The cells were then stained using the Alexa Fluor®488 annexin V/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit with Alexa® Fluor 488 annexin V and PI for flow cytometry (Invitrogen, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Untreated cells served as a negative control for the double staining.

Flow Cytometric Immunophenotyping and Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flow cytometry analysis of the cell surface antigen, CD11b, was performed as described previously [18 (link)]. Briefly, 106 cells were washed in PBS, blocked with human IgG (Sigma-Aldrich), then incubated with Alexa Fluor 700 Mouse Anti-Human-CD11b for 30 min. The proportion of live/dead/apoptotic cells was assessed with the Alexa Fluor® 488 annexin V/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit with Alexa Fluor® 488 annexin V and PI (Thermo Fisher). Briefly, 5 × 105 cells were washed and incubated with Alexa Fluor® 488 annexin V and 100 μg/mL PI for 15 min. Fluorescence was measured with a FACSAria II SORP cell sorter (BD Biosciences). Analysis was performed in FlowJo v10.

SKOV3 and A2780CIS cells were plated in T25 flasks 24 h before drug exposure. Afterward, samples were treated with 37°C warm media mixed with 100 nM onalespib, 500 nM cisplatin, or a combination of onalespib and cisplatin for 96 h before flow cytometry. Harvested cells were washed in cold PBS and stained with propidium iodide (PI) and Alexa Fluor 488 annexin V (Alexa Fluor®488 Annexin V/Dead Cell Apoptosis Kit with Alexa Fluor 488 annexin V and PI for flow cytometry, ThermoFisher Scientific, Sweden) according to manufactures instructions. CellEventTM Caspase-3/7 Green Flow Cytometry Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Sweden) was used to analyze caspase 3/7 activity. Caspase activity inhibition on SKOV3 and A2780CIS apoptosis were evaluated by pan-caspase inhibitor z-VAD-FMK (Selleckchem, Germany). Cells were pretreated with or without 20 μM z-VAD-FMK for 1 h followed by incubation with 500 nM cisplatin and 100 nM onalespib. Apoptotic cells were visualized using a CytoFLEX (Beckman Coulter, Krefeld, Germany). Obtained data were analyzed by FlowJoTM Software for Windows (Version 10.6.1. Becton, Dickinson and Company, Ashland, OR, United States). One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparison’s test determined significance, where p < 0.05 was considered significant. The number of replicates within each experimental group was two. Each experiment was repeated 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.
