For the assay, cells (105 per well) were seeded in 24-well plates (Corning), incubated for 24 h, and N-acyl dopamines (5 μM) were added for the next 5 h. Then stromal cells were harvested with trypsin-EDTA solution, washed twice with cold PBS (800 g for 5 min), and the pellet was resuspended in binding buffer (10 mM HEPES/NaOH pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM CaCl2). Cell suspension (100 μL) was transferred to a 5 mL culture tube and incubated with 5 μL of FITC-conjugated annexin V (1 mg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich, USA) and 5 μL of propidium iodide (PI, 2 mg/mL, Sigma-Aldrich) for 15 min at room temperature in the dark. A total of 400 μL of the binding buffer was added to each sample tube, and cell counts were performed by FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The distribution of fluorescent dyes was analyzed using Cell Quest Research Software (BD, Biosciences). Cells were classified as live (Annexin V−, PI−), necrotic (Annexin V−, PI+), early apoptotic (Annexin V+, PI−), and late apoptotic (Annexin V+, PI+).

Induction of cell death was analyzed by flow cytometry using FITC-conjugated annexin V (BioVision, USA) and propidium iodide (PI, Fluka) double staining. SK-BR-3, T47D, MDA-MB468 and SW480 cells were seeded into 12-well plates in a density of 5–13 × 104 cells per well in complete medium and allowed to settle for 24 h. The cells were exposed to test compounds in different concentrations for 48 h at 37 °C. Merbarone (Sigma-Aldrich) was used as a positive control at a concentration of 160 µM. After incubation, cells were gently trypsinized, washed with PBS, and suspended with FITC-conjugated annexin V (0.25 μg/mL) and PI (1 μg/mL) in binding buffer (10 mM HEPES/NaOH pH 7.4, 140 mM NaCl, 2.5 mM CaCl2) at 37 °C for 15 min. Stained cells were analyzed with a Guava 8HT EasyCyte flow cytometer (Millipore) using InCyte software and analyzed by FlowJo software. Results are based on three independent experiments.

The presence and distribution of phosphatidylserine and cholesterol residues on GBM cells plasma membrane were analyzed with a fluorescence microscope Eclipse 80i (Nikon, Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan). Phosphatidylserine residues were labelled for 10 min at 37 °C with 0.5 mg/mL of FITC-conjugated annexin-V (#A9210; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in the complete culture medium of cells grown on coverslips (1 × 105 cells/13 mm diameter coverslip) after two extensive rinsings with 0.2M of PBS (pH 7.4).
Cholesterol was labeled for 2 h at 37 °C with a 0.05-mg filipin (#70440; Cayman Chemical, Milan, Italy)/mL of PBS (0.2 M), pH 7.4, in complete culture medium of cells grown on coverslips (1 × 105 cells/13 mm diameter coverslip) after two extensive rinsing with 0.2M of PBS (pH 7.4).
Before fluorescence microscopy, observation slides were extensively rinsed with 0.2M of PBS (pH 7.4) and glycerine mounted medium.

Cell viability was assessed with flow cytometry recordings as described [47 (link)]. Briefly, cells were stained with FITC-conjugated Annexin-V (Boehringer Mannheim) and propidium iodide (PI, 1 μg/ml; Sigma), to determine phosphatidyl-serine exposure on the cell surface (increased FITC-conjugated Annexin-V staining) and loss of plasma membrane integrity (PI permeability and staining). Cells were incubated at 37°C in 135 mM NaCl, 10 mM HEPES, 5 mM CaCl2 and then analyzed on a FACS Canto II flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson). Data acquisition and analysis were performed using FACSDiva software.

Apoptosis Induction by UV Irradiation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HT-29, T47D, HS578T, MCF7, HFF-1 and HMEC-1 were induced apoptosis by UV irradiation in 35 mm Petri dishes in the absence of cell culture medium. Specifically, after removal of culture medium, the dishes were placed under a UV lamp/cross-linker (model XL-1000, Spectronics Corporation, New York) and irradiated for various time periods, all within 200 seconds, to achieve induction of cell apoptosis starting at 2–4 h post-UV, but not necrosis or instant death (the total energy strength for different cell types are listed in Table 1). After UV irradiation, the culture medium was added back to the dishes and the cells were cultured for various time periods until analysis. Cell apoptosis was assessed by labeling with FITC-conjugated Annexin V (Sigma) for cell surface PS and YO-PRO-1 iodide (Life Technologies) for cell nuclei. Cell necrosis or dead cells were detected by staining with propidium iodide (PI). Cell apoptosis was also assessed by Western blot to detect cleavage of Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase (PARP) using a rabbit polyclonal anti-PARP antibody (Roche).

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.
