Cell Viability and Apoptosis Assays

500,000 cells were plated in wells of a 24-well plate, and treated with DMSO or USP7i as indicated in the Figure Legends. Cells were counted each day via trypan blue, and inhibitor/medium was changed. When cells reached a confluency of >1 million cells/ml, cells were diluted 1:2, and this dilution was factored into the cell numbers for viability assays. For apoptosis analysis, cells were stained with LIVE/DEAD Fixable Near-IR Dead Cell Stain (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer’s protocol, except that cells were stained for 20 min at 4°C, prior to staining with PE-conjugated Annexin V (Life Technologies) in Annexin V Binding Buffer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), according to the manufacturers’ instructions. To measure cell cycle, cells were fixed in 100 μl Fix and Perm Medium A (Life Technologies) for 15 min, washed with PBS, and incubated with 100 μl Fix and Perm Medium B (Life Technologies) + 1 μg/ml DAPI (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for 1h at 4°C. Flow cytometry was performed on an LSR II (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ) and analyses were performed using FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR). Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism software (GraphPad Software). Comparisons were made using the Student’s unpaired, two-sided t-test. p values <0.05 were considered statistically significant.

Cells isolated from the CNS were stimulated with PMA (500 ng/mL; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), ionomycin (50 ng/mL; Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and 1 μL/mL Golgiplug (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ) for 4 h at 37°C. Cells were washed with PBS containing 3% FBS. Surface antigens were stained with Abs in 100 μL of PBS/3% FBS for 20 min at 4°C. Cells were then fixed with 100 μL Fix and Perm Medium A (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA) for 20 min at room temperature and then permeabilized with Fix and Perm Medium B (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA) and stained with Abs against intracellular antigens in 100 μL Fix and Perm Medium B and 100 μL PBS/3%FBS for 1 h. Cells were then washed twice, resuspended in 500 μL PBS and analyzed on a BD FACSAria Fusion flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ).

Isolated cells were stimulated with PMA (500 ng/mL; Sigma Aldrich), ionomycin (50 ng/mL; Sigma Aldrich), and 1 µL/mL Golgiplug (BD Biosciences) for 4 h at 37 o C. After stimulation, cells were washed with PBS containing 3% FBS (v/v). Cell surface antigens were stained with Abs in 100 µL of PBS/3% FBS for 20-30 min at 4 o C. Cells were then washed and fixed with 100 µL Fix and Perm Medium A (Thermo Fisher) for 20 min at room temperature and washed again. Cells were permeabilized with Fix and Perm Medium B (Thermo Fisher) and stained with Abs against intracellular antigens in 100 µL Fix and Perm Medium B and 100 µL PBS/3%FBS for 1 h. Cells were then washed twice, resuspended in 500 µL PBS and analyzed on a BD FACSAria Fusion flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).

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.
