To detect macrophage surface markers, anti-CD163-PE (BD Biosciences, USA) and anti-CD11b-APC (eBioscience, USA) antibodies were used to stain cells at 4 °C for 30 min. Isotype controls were run in parallel. After washing, a BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) was used to determine the proportion of CD11b+CD163+ macrophages. To detect cell cycle arrest, glioma cells were collected 48 h after transfection and fixed with ice-cold 70% ethanol overnight. Then, the cells were incubated with 0.5 mL of propidium iodide (BD Biosciences) in the dark at room temperature for 15 min and were finally analyzed with a BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) and ModFit software (Verity Software House, USA). An Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit (BD Biosciences) was utilized to evaluate apoptosis according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In brief, cells were stained with Annexin V-FITC and propidium iodide. After incubation at room temperature in the dark for 15 min, apoptosis was quantified using a BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) within 1 h of staining.

The Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit was applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Merck). Briefly, Jurkat cells were collected following cell death induction and resuspended in Annexin V staining buffer for 30 min.

The cells were analyzed on an Accuri C6 flow cytometer (Becton-Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). The histograms of DNA distribution were shown as a sum of cell populations at the G0/G1, G2/M or S phase using FlowJo software.
An Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate kit (Annexin V- FITC; Nanjing KeyGen Biotech Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China) was used to stain and identify the percentage of apoptotic cells. Briefly, the cells were seeded into 6-well plates and treated with 0, 10, 20 and 40 µM of JD for 24 h. The cells were then harvested, washed with ice-cold PBS and resuspended in binding buffer containing Annexin V-FITC (0.5 mg/ml) and PI (0.5 mg/ml). Following 15 min of incubation at room temperature in the dark, the stained cells were analyzed immediately by an Accuri C6 flow cytometer (Becton-Dickinson).

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.
