HCT116 PTEN-null cells were seeded on Lab-Tek eight-well chamber coated with laminin (L2020, Sigma) and incubated overnight. Cells were treated with 1 mM hydroxyurea (H8627, Sigma) for 16 h after a 24-h transfection with either wild-type PTEN or mutated constructs. Cells were fixed as previously described16 (link) and immunolabeled with a rabbit anti-phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) antibody (ab2893, Abcam) and a anti-rabbit IgG Alexa 568 antibody (Invitrogen).

To evaluate the effects of EVs on cell proliferation and DNA damage, HUVEC (4×104) and H9c2 cells (4×104) were seeded on 4-well chamber culture slides. After 72 h of culture with 10 μg/ml non-irradiated-EVs or irradiated-EVs (n=3), the cells were washed with PBS and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min. After the incubation of protein block serum-free (DAKO) with 0.01% Triton X-100, the cells were incubated with Ki67 monoclonal antibody (SolA15, Invitrogen), anti-53BP1 antibody (ab36823, Abcam), or anti-gamma H2A.X (ab2893, Abcam), followed by associated Alexa flour 488-conjugated second antibody. Nuclei were stained with DAPI, the positively stained cells were counted under fluorescence microscopy at 200-fold magnification, and 20 fields per section were randomly selected for quantitative counting. The percentage of positive cells in each field was calculated as (positively stained cells/all cells in the field)×100%.

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.
