flow cytometry was performed to detect reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, apoptosis, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in H9c2 cells. For the ROS generation assay, 1 × 106 H9c2 cells in each group were resuspended in 1 mL of diluted DCFH-DA and maintained at 37°C for 20 min. Thereafter, the cells were treated with 500 μL phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and analyzed with flow cytometry (ACEA Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA). For the apoptosis assay, 1 × 106 H9c2 cells in each group were centrifuged at 400 × g at 4°C for 5 min, resuspended in 200 μL PBS, and stained for 30 min with 10 μL annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and 10 μL propidium iodide (PI) in the dark at 4°C. After 300 μL PBS was added, the cells were analyzed with flow cytometry (ACEA Biosciences). For the MMP assay, 1 × 106 H9c2 cells in each group were resuspended in 500 μL DMEM and cultured for 20 min with JC-1 solution (Beyotime) at 37°C. Thereafter, the cells were centrifuged at 400 × g at 4°C for 3 min and resuspended in 1 mL of JC-1 solution. The cells were then centrifuged at 400 × g at 4°C for 3 min, resuspended in 400 μL of JC-1 solution, and analyzed with flow cytometry (ACEA Biosciences).

Mice with 4T1 tumors were randomly split into 6 treatment groups (n = 3): saline, HTC, MARS, RT, HTC+RT, or MARS+RT. RT was administered 4 h after the second intravenous injection at a dose of 4 Gy. After completing the entire treatment, we euthanized them and harvested their tumors, spleens, and tumor-draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) to make a single-cell suspension. The cell suspension was stained with anti-mouse CD11c, anti-mouse CD86, and anti-mouse CD80 antibodies for flow cytometry (Agilent) to investigate DCs at different maturation levels. The tumor single-cell suspensions were labeled with fluorophore-conjugated antibodies (anti-mouse CD3, anti-mouse CD4, anti-mouse CD25, and anti-mouse FoxP3) and evaluated by flow cytometry (Agilent) to identify Tregs. The TDLNs cell suspensions were stained with anti-mouse CD3, anti-mouse CD8a, and anti-mouse CD4 antibodies and then identified using flow cytometry (Agilent) to assess T-cell activation. The cytokine levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in the serum were analyzed using corresponding ELISA kits according to the reagent instructions.

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.
