The cultured L02 cells (5×105 cells each group) or cell suspensions from homogenized middle left liver tissues were fixed in ice-cold 70% ethanol and centrifuged to collect a cell pellet that was resuspended in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). After washing, cells were incubated with RNAase (Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) in PBS for 30 min at 37°C. After further washing, pellets were resuspended in 0.5 ml propidium iodide staining solution (50 µm/ml) and incubated for 30 min at 4°C. After filtering through a nylon mesh (pore size, 48 µm), apoptosis was detected using a flow cytometer (FACScalibur; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) at an excitation setting of 488 nm.

Topotecan hydrochloride (TPT) and safranal (SAF) (Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, United States) were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, United States), the stock solution of TPT was kept at −20°C. In preparation for an experiment, a serial dilution of TPT was prepared in the medium to achieve a concentration range of 0.001–1 μM and the concentration of DMSO in all samples was 0.02%. Primary monoclonal antibodies against γ-H2AX and TDP1 and secondary antibodies (anti-rabbit and anti-mouse) were obtained from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA, United States). In addition, propidium iodide (PI), RNAase, and crystal violet were purchased from (Sigma-Aldrich, Missouri, United States).

Cell cycle distribution was analyzed with flow cytometry. Harvested cells were fixed in 70% precooled ethanol. Then, cells were treated with RNAase (0.1 mg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich Co, St Louis, Missouri) for 30 minutes and incubated with 1 mL of protease inhibitor (50 µg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich Co). Finally, flow cytometry analysis (BD Biosciences, San Jose, California) was performed to assess cell cycle distribution. Three independent experiments were conducted.

In Situ Hybridization Protocol for Tissue Sections

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue sections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 hour, followed by three washes of 0.1M phosphate buffer, air-dried, and stored at −20°C until use. Sections were processed for in situ hybridization as described (Cheng et al., 2002 (link), Zhang et al., 2009 (link)). Briefly, sections were dried at room temperature for 2 hours, followed by pretreatment of proteinase K (1 μg/ml). Sections were air-dried and then hybridized with riboprobes by incubation at 60°C for 18 hours. After hybridization, tissue was treated to RNAase (20 μg/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), decreasing salinity washes and a 30 minute high stringency (68°C) wash. After dehydration and air-drying, tissue sections were exposed to Kodak Biomax film for 5–15 days. Specific hybridization signals were quantitatively analyzed using a videobased computer image analysis system (MCID, Imaging Research, Ontario, Canada). A calibration curve of optical density versus radioactivity (dpm/mg tissue wet weight) was constructed using 14C-standards. Figures were prepared by using Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Systems Inc.).

Cell Cycle Dynamics of Cervical Cancer

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We observed a decrease of cell proliferation in HeLa and INBL cell lines at 48 hours; therefore, we decided to determine the phases of the cell cycle at these time points. To determine the cell-cycle phases, 1 × 106 HeLa and INBL cervical cancer cells were seeded and incubated with 100 IU/ml IL-2 for 24 and 48 hours. Cell-cycle determination was performed using the propidium iodide incorporation technique. Cells were fixed using 70% ethanol (JT Baker, USA) for 12 hours, and RNA was removed by incubating with an RNAase (Sigma, USA) for one hour at 37°C. Cells were incubated with 3 μL of propidium iodide (Sigma; 50 mg/mL) for 10 minutes. Cell-cycle phases were determined using flow cytometry on a FACSAria II cytometer (BD, USA). Data were analysed using FCS express 7 De Novo software. To determine if the observed cell arrest is permanent or transient, after 48 hours of cell culture in the presence of IL-2 the medium was removed, and fresh medium without IL-2 was added, leaving the cells in culture for 24 and 48 hours to analyse the phases of the cell cycle.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The impact of miR-18a on cell apoptosis and the cell cycles of HepG2 and SMMC7721 cells were analyzed with flow cytometry. For apoptosis experiments, cells were harvested and resuspended in 200 µL PBS. Propidium iodide (PI) and FITC-labeled Annexin V (BD Biosciences) were then added into the mixture and incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature. For cell cycle assay, the harvested cells were fixed in 70% pre-cooled ethanol. The samples were taken before DNA staining, and the supernatant was removed by centrifugation. After the samples were treated with RNAase (0.1 mg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich Co., St Louis, MO, USA) for 30 minutes, 1 mL of PI (50 µg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich Co.) was added, and flow cytometry analyses was performed to assess the distribution of cells in each phase of the cell cycle.

After hybridization, tissue sections were treated with RNAase (20 μg/ml) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), decreasing salinity washes and high stringency (68 °C) wash. After dehydration and air-drying, tissue sections were exposed to Kodak Biomax film. Images were captured with image analysis system (MCID, Imaging Research, Ontario, Canada).

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.
