Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
C4-2B parental and HOXB13K13A mutant were stained with γH2AX-A488 (Biolegend, Clone 2F3; San Diego, CA, USA) antibody or γH2AX-APC conjugated antibody (Biolegend; Clone 2F3; Cat# 613415). After staining, cells were fixed with 1% v/v paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X-100 for 5 min and blocked with 1X PBS buffer containing 3% w/v protease-free BSA (incubation buffer). The cells were rinsed twice with the incubation buffer, followed by centrifugation and resuspended in 0.5 mL of 1X PBS, and acquired on LSR Canto and analyzed by the FlowJo software v10.10.

Comparative DNA Damage Response in MEFs and CHO Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MEFs were generated from
B10k.Rag1−/− and
NODk.Rag1−/−mice and
were treated with 5 μM etoposide (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h. MEFs were
allowed to recover for 15 h before fixation and staining with Alexa Fluor
647–conjugated antibody to phosphorylated H2A.X (Ser139; clone 2F3,
Biolegend) for flow cytometry.
CHO cells and Xrcc4−/− CHO
cells were a kind gift from P. Jeggo (University of Sussex). Xrcc4 expression
vectors were constructed with the B10 or NOD allele of Xrcc4(or GFP control), preceded by a chicken β-actin intron
and followed by a sequence encoding GFP linked to the Xrcc4 C terminus via a T2A
peptide, under the control of the chicken β-actin promoter and CMV
enhancer. Xrcc4−/− CHO cells were
transfected using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen), followed by treatment with 5
μM etoposide (Sigma-Aldrich) for 1 h, and cells were allowed to recover
for 15 h. Cell sorting was performed for GFP+ CHO cells on a
FACS Aria II (Becton Dickinson). GFP+ cells were stained with
the Zombie Aqua Fixable Viability kit (Biolegend) before fixation and staining
with Alexa Fluor 647–conjugated antibody to phosphorylated H2A.X
(Ser139; clone 2F3, Biolegend) and propidium iodide (eBioscience) for flow
cytometry analysis.

Quantifying DNA Damage and Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA double-strand breaks and apoptosis were detected by immunofluorescence using antibodies against phosphorylated histone H2AX at serine 139 (clone 2F3, BioLegend), and anti-53BP1 (A300-272A, BioLegend). As phosphorylated histone H2AX and 53BP1 form discrete foci at the sites of DNA double-strand breaks, DNA damage induction was evaluated by detecting foci. In cells undergoing apoptosis, DNA is fragmented; therefore, multiple DNA double-strand breaks are induced, which are detectable by homogeneous nuclear staining with an antibody against phosphorylated histone H2AX at serine 139, not with 53BP1 antibody. The primary antibodies were detected by Alexa Fluor 555-labed anti-mouse IgG (A21422, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Nuclei were counterstained with 1 μg/mL of DAPI. Images were captured with a fluorescence microscope (DM6000B, Leica) and analyzed using FW4000 software (Leica). The percentage of apoptotic cells was calculated by dividing the number of cells with heavily phosphorylated histone H2AX signals by the number of total cells determined by the number of DAPI-positive nuclei. The percentage of cells with DNA double strand breaks was calculated by dividing the number of cells with 53BP1 foci by the number of total cells determined by the number of DAPI-positive nuclei.

The cells (5 mL) were fixed with 20 μL of Schaudinn’s fixative (saturated HgCl2: ethanol, 2:1). Then 10 μL of fixed cells were uniformly spread on a poly-L-lysine-coated coverslip. The cells were washed using PBST (0.05% Triton X-100) for 10 min. The cells were blocked using a blocking solution (3% BSA, 10% normal goat serum, and 0.05% Triton X-100 in PBS) for 1 h at room temperature (RT). They were then incubated overnight with HA antibody (1:500 dilution, #3724S, CST, Danvers, MA, USA), γH2AX (1:200, Clone 2F3, BioLegend, USA), and H3K56ac (1:500 dilution; AB_2661786, Active Motif, Carlsbad, CA, USA) at 4 ℃ overnight. The samples were washed three times with PBST (0.05% Triton X-100) and incubated with FITC-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG antibody (1:1000, AQ132F, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) or TRITC-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG antibody (dilution ratio of 1:500, AP192R, Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) for one hour at RT. The samples were stained with 1 μg/mL DAPI for 15 min and observed using a Delta Vision Elite deconvolution microscope system (Applied Precision/GE Healthcare, Boston, Massachusetts, USA).

Immunostaining of CENP-A and γ-H2A.X

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Aliquots (5 ml) of cell suspension were transferred to a centrifuge tube and 20 μl partial Schaudinn’s fixative (2:1 ratio of saturated HgCl2,: absolute ethanol) were added. After 5 min, cells were washed twice with methanol and then resuspended in 50 μl methanol; drops of this suspension were applied to a slide and air-dried. Immunostaining of Cna1, a CENP-A homolog, used a rabbit polyclonal antiserum (1:200 dilution) [a gift from Harmit Malik, see (26 (link),37 (link))] and γ-H2A.X immunostaining used a mouse monoclonal antibody (1:200 dilution; clone 2F3, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Both were detected with a fluorescence-labeled secondary antibody.

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.
