Quantifying Cell Apoptosis via Flow Cytometry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell apoptosis was measured by using Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) Apoptosis Detection Kit (Invitrogen). PC cells were harvested after transfection for 72 h through centrifuging at 800 ×g, and the above cells were mixed with Annexin V-FITC and propidine iodide (PI; Solarbio, Beijing, China) simultaneously at room temperature in the dark for 10 min. The apoptotic PC cells were distinguished from necrotic or normal PC cells through the analysis of flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).

NSCLC cells were collected and fixed using 70% cold ethanol solution at −20°C overnight. Then, 10 μM RNase was utilized to remove RNA. DNA was marked with 20 mg/mL propidine iodide (PI; Solarbio, Beijing, China) for 20 minutes at 37°C. The percentage of NSCLC cells at different phases was assessed using a flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).

For cycle distribution detection, transduced A549/PTX and H1299/PTX cells were gathered and re‐suspended in PBS following 48 h of transfection. After RNase treatment, A549/PTX and H1299/PTX cells were immobilized with 70% ethanol followed by the incubation of propidine iodide (PI; Solarbio) at 37°C for 30 min. Then, the cycle distribution of A549/PTX and H1299/PTX cells at different phases was examined by flow cytometry (BD Biosciences).
Annexin V‐fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) Apoptosis Detection Kit (Vazyme) was utilized for detecting cell apoptosis. After different transfection for 48 h, A549/PTX and H1299/PTX cells were harvested and double‐stained with 5 μL of FITC‐labeled Annexin V and 5 μL of PI. The apoptotic cells were measured utilizing flow cytometry (BD Biosciences).

Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flow cytometry was used for the detection of cell cycle distribution and cell apoptosis. After being transfected for 48 h, KYSE‐150 and Eca‐109 cells were harvested. For the determination of cell cycle distribution, transduced KYSE‐150 and Eca‐109 cells were gathered and washed with phosphate buffer solution (PBS), followed by immobilization with 70% ethanol at 4°C overnight. Then the cells were resuspended in binding buffer and dyed with propidine iodide (PI; Solarbio) in the dark at 37°C for 30 min. Finally, the distributed proportions of KYSE‐150 and Eca‐109 cells at different phases (G0/G1, S, and G2) were monitored through a flow cytometer.
An Annexin V‐FITC/PI Apoptosis Detection kit (Solarbio) was utilized for apoptotic detection. Briefly, transfected KYSE‐150 and Eca‐109 cells were dyed using Annexin V‐FITC and propidium iodide (PI) in darkness for 15 min. The apoptotic rate of KYSE‐150 and Eca‐109 cells (Annexin V‐FITC+ and PI+ or PI) was measured using a flow cytometer.

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.
