Apoalert annexin 5 fitc apoptosis kit

Manufactured by Takara Bio
Sourced in United States, Japan

The ApoAlert™ Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Kit is a laboratory product that detects apoptosis, a type of programmed cell death, in cell samples. The kit utilizes Annexin V, a protein that binds to phosphatidylserine, a molecule that becomes exposed on the cell surface during apoptosis. The Annexin V is conjugated with the FITC fluorescent dye, allowing for the visualization and quantification of apoptotic cells.

The Annexin V-FITC apoptosis detection kit (ApoAlert Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Kit, TaKaRa) was used to detect apoptosis by flow cytometry. Cells were seeded at 6-well plates at concentration of 5 × 105 cells/well, cultured for 18 h, and then the tested agent was applied for the indicated periods. Afterward, cells were washed with PBS, resuspended in binding buffer, and anti-Annexin V FITC-conjugated antibody and propidium iodide were added to 100 µl aliquots. The mixtures were incubated for 15 min at room temperature, supplemented with binding buffer to 500 µl, and processed using BD FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences).

For annexin V and propidium iodide (PI) staining, cells were stained using the ApoAlert Annexin V‐FITC Apoptosis Kit (Takara Bio), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. For cleaved caspase‐3 and cytochrome c immunostaining, cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 minutes at 37°C, and permeabilized with 1% Triton X‐100 in PBS for 5 minutes. Fixed cells were incubated with anti‐cleaved caspase‐3 (1:2000, 9664; Cell Signaling Technology) and anti‐cytochrome c (1:2000, NBP2‐24872; NovusBio) Abs for 1 hour, followed by incubation with secondary Abs coupled with Alexa Fluor 488/594 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 1:3000) for 1 hour. Then cells were observed under an Olympus IX‐83 inverted microscope controlled by cellSens (Olympus) using a ×60 1.42 NA PlanApoN objective lens (Olympus). For the MTT assay, 1 × 103 cells were seeded onto 96‐well culture plates and were analyzed using a Cell Proliferation Kit I (MTT) (Merck), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Cells were grown in SMD media until A600 reached approximately 1. For colony-forming unit assays, cells were normalized to A600 = 0.5/ml, and 200 μl of each culture was collected into 96-well plates. Serial dilutions were done using multichannel pipettor, and 10 μl were plated onto SMD solid media. Plates were incubated for 2 days at 30 °C, and number of colonies were counted. Annexin V/PI co-staining assays using ApoAlert Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis kit (Takara, 630109) were performed as described previously (92 (link)). For trypan blue staining, 10 μl of cell suspension in PBS were mixed with 0.4% trypan blue (Gibco, 15250061) for 2 to 3 min at room temperature, and number of cells stained with the dye were counted.

Cells (1 × 106) were collected with trypsin-EDTA, washed twice with PBS, and then fixed in 70% ethanol for 24 h at 20°C. The cells were then centrifuged and washed with 200 μL of 1× binding buffer from the ApoAlert Annexin V–FITC Apoptosis kit (cat #630109; Clontech, Mountain View, CA, USA). The cells were incubated for 5–15 min in the dark with 5 μL of Annexin V solution from the kit. After staining, the cells were washed with PBS. The cell-cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry on a Guava easyCyte (Luminex, Austin, TX, USA) and analyzed using the FlowJo software.

For cell cycle assays, MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, MCF7 and ZR75 cells were treated with vehicle or 20 μM Imipramine or 40 μM imipramine for 96 h and then fixed with 70% ethanol for at least 24 h before staining with propidium iodide, as previously described [30 ]. Cell cycle distribution was determined using a BD FACSCelesta or BD LSRFortessa X-20 instruments. For apoptosis assays, cells were harvested after 96 h treatment with Vehicle or 20 μM Imipramine or 40 μM imipramine and then stained with annexin V/propidium iodide mixture using the ApoAlert Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Kit (Clontech, Cat # 630110). The percent of annexin V-propidium iodide-positive cells were determined using flow cytometry as described previously [30 ]. The samples were analyzed using a BD FACSCelesta or BD LSRFortessa X-20 instrument. Data were processed using BD FACSDiva or FlowJo v10.7.2 software and visualized using a GraphPad Prism program.

Apoptosis and cell nuclear damage were determined by Annexin V- FITC and PI dual cell staining; stained cells were subsequently analyzed by flow cytometry [60 (link)]. Cells grown in 100 mm dishes were transduced with dE1 or dE1/DCN at an MOI of 20–50, or with dB or dB/DCN at an MOI of 0.5–5. As a positive control for the induction of apoptosis, cells were treated with CPT at 1 mM. After two days of treatment, cells were processed with the ApoAlert Annexin V-FITC apoptosis kit (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Apoptosis and nuclear cell damage were quantified on a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS; Becton Dickinson, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and data from 10,000 events were collected for further analysis.

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.
