The expression of surface proteins within the collected cells was determined by using flow cytometry (FC). Cells were dissociated with Accutase (Nacalai Tesque) and stained with CD24 (1555427; BD Biosciences), CD44 (103012; BioLegend, 338820; BioLegend), CD44v5 (L MCA1729; Bio-Rad), CD44v6 (MCA1730; Bio-Rad), CD44v7 (MCA1731; Bio-Rad), CD44v9 (LKG-M003; Cosmo Bio), CD133 (372808; BioLegend), and 7-AAD (372808; BD Biosciences). The relative fluorescence intensities were measured by using an SH800 cell sorter (Sony Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). A two-dimensionality reduction step was performed using t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) to visualize high-dimensional cell surface marker expression data in a low-dimensional space. Data were analyzed by using the FlowJo software, Version 10.2 (FlowJo).

The extracted cells from 4 mL heparinized PB were stained with anti-CCL2 (monocyte chemoattractant protein-1) (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, United States), VEGF (Genature, Belgium), and EGF (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, United States). This mixture was incubated at 4 °C. Staining was carried out by second layer antibodies, including fluorescein isothiocyanate for CCL2, R-phycoerythrin for VEGF, and phycoerythrin–indodicarbocyanine (Pe–Cy5) for EGF. Finally, by adding nuclear dye [4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)], the status of PE was assayed by the Leica EICA, DM RXA2-fluorescence microscope (Wetzlar, Germany). The CTCs were also assayed with cytokeratin 19 (KRT 19) (ScyTek, Logan, UT, United States), leukocyte common antigen [LCA cocktail (CD45) (BioCare Medical, Pacheco, CA, United States)], neuronal marker (NM) (ScyTek), and DAPI. Identification of brain CTCs was based on positive cells with DAPI/NM, and positive metastatic cells were confirmed through DAPI+/cytokeratin+/CD45-). The Manuel search was also performed to detect CTCs amongst the leukocytes. The CTCs were defined as nucleated cells by: (1) Expressing NM; and (2) Lacking CD45/positive KRT19. CD133 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, United States), VEGF (Genature), and cyclin E (Zymed, San Francisco, CA, United States) were also assayed.

Cells were stained with antibodies against CD133, SSEA1, Oct4, Nanog, Nestin (all from BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), MSI1 (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA), and BMI1 (R&D systems) to assess the changes in CSC-related gene expression. To assess the level of apoptosis, cells were stained with Annexin V plus PI or 7-AAD (all from BioLegend). Cells were analyzed by BD FACS Aria flow cytometer (BD Biosciences). Monoclonal antibodies against CASP3 (Cell Signaling Technology) were also used to assess the apoptotic cells.

Quantifying Circulating Endothelial Cells

Blood samples were drawn at early morning, from the arms of hypertensive patients, in the recumbent position after 10 min of rest. Blood was collected from each patient into ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant and used for flow cytometric analysis. Multicolor flow cytometry analysis was performed according to the method published by Szpera-Goździewicz et al. (2017) (link) and modified by us elsewhere (Budzyń et al., 2018 (link)). The conjugated mouse anti-human monoclonal antibodies: CD34, CD146, CD45, and CD133 (BioLegend, London, United Kingdom) were used. The data were analyzed using BD FACSDiva software. The number of CD45 (−), CD34 (+), CD146 (+), CD133 (−) cells per 1,000,000 analyzed nucleated cells was defined as CECs, whereas CD45(−), CD34 (+), CD146 (+), and CD133 (+) cells as EPCs. The calibration of flow cytometry and the control of fluid stability were conducted each time before analysis. The results were expressed as the number of CECs and/or CEPCs per 4 ml of blood.

CAF, MCF-10A, ZR-75-1, HCT116, QBC939, NCCIT, RBE, HUCCT1, ZJU-0826, and ZJU-1125 cells were washed thrice with ice-cold phosphate buffered saline (PBS), lysed in RIPA buffer containing 50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% sodium deoxyholate, 1% Nonide P-40, and 0.1% SDS with Pierce Protease Inhibitor Tablets (AEBSF, aprotinin, bestatin, E-64, leupeptin, and pepstain A) (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) and separated by centrifugation. The protein concentration was detected using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc). Antibodies against the following proteins were used: E-cadherin, N-cadherin, β-catenin, α-SMA, MUC1, CD146, SOX17, Vitamin D3 Receptor (VDR), pdx1, CD326, FoxA1/HNF3α, FoxA2/HNF3β, Nanog, GAPDH, and β-actin (all 1:1000, from Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA).
Flow cytometry was performed using a FACScan instrument (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA) and commercially available reagents for cells at passages 3–5 and 60–65. A panel of monoclonal antibodies was evaluated, including CD24, CD44, CD29, CD34, CD90, CD117, CD133, CD184, CD326, and CD338 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA, USA). Antigen expression was determined based on a significant shift in staining compared to an isotype control.

Surface markers, including CD44 (cat. no. 338804, BioLegend) and CD133 (cat. no. 372806, BioLegend), were assessed by flow cytometry. The cells were treated with trypsin and washed twice with PBS. Then, they were suspended with 100 μL PBS in order to reach a concentration of 1 × 107/mL. Subsequently, suspensions were administered with the antibodies at the standard concentration. After incubation in the dark for 30 minutes at 37°C, the suspensions were washed with PBS and resuspended by 200 μL of the same buffer. The samples were determined and sorted by FAC‐SCantoTM II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences), and the data were examined using FlowJo software (Tree Star).

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.
