Annexin 5 propidium iodide

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

Annexin V/propidium iodide is a flow cytometry reagent used for the detection and quantification of apoptosis and cell death. Annexin V binds to phosphatidylserine, which is exposed on the cell surface during apoptosis. Propidium iodide is a DNA-binding dye that stains cells with compromised cell membranes, indicating late-stage apoptosis or necrosis. This combination of markers allows for the discrimination of viable, early apoptotic, and late apoptotic/necrotic cells.

MTT was utilized to detect cell viability according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the cells were seeded in 96-well culture plates and incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 72 hours. For the colony formation assay, 5,000 cells were plated in a six-well plate for 12 days. Colonies were subjected to methanol/acetone (1:1) fixation and stained with crystal violet.
Apoptosis was analyzed by nuclear staining with Hoechst 33258 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and Annexin V/propidium iodide (Invitrogen) staining followed by flow cytometry. The percentage of Annexin V+ cells (indicated in the two right quadrants) was plotted.

Cells were placed in 6-well multiplies, after being pretreated with CA for 3 h; cells were stimulated with LPS for 12 h. To analyze apoptosis, the cells were trypsinized (Gibco, Grand Island, NY), washed twice with PBS, and then stained with annexin V/propidium iodide (Invitrogen Inc., Carlsbad, CA), and flow cytometric analysis was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, California).
The mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) was measured using the mitochondrial potential sensor 5,5′,6,6′-tetra-chloro-1,1′,3,3′-tetra-ethyl-benz-imidazolyl-carbocyanine iodide (JC-1, Jiancheng, Nanjing, China). The cells were collected and incubated with 4 μM JC-1 for 20 minutes at 37°C in the dark. Extracellular JC-1 was removed by washing cells twice in PBS; then, the amount of JC-1 retained by 20,000 cells per sample was analyzed on a flow cytometer using 488 nm excitation with 530 nm and 585 nm bandpass emission filters (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, California).

Cell apoptosis was assessed by annexinV/propidium iodide (Invitrogen) and by the Apo-BrdU flow kit (BD Pharmingen). Cells were fixed and treated with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase to expose DNA fragments, which were labeled by Br-dUTP and stained with FITC-conjugated anti-BrdU antibody according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Cell samples were then analyzed by FACS to determine proliferating or apoptotic fractions.

The colorimetric 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium
bromide (MTT, Sigma) assay was performed as previously described [11 (link)]. Briefly, cells in 96 well-plates were
incubated with 100 µl of MTT (0.5 mg/ml) in phenol red-free medium for 2
hours at 37°C, switched into 200 µl of dimethyl-sulfoxide, and
shaken for 5 min at room temperature before measuring absorbance at 540 nm. Cell
death was measured by counting trypan blue-stained cells using the
hemocytometer. Annexin V/propidium iodide (Invitrogen) was stained, as
previously described [30 (link)].
The cell-cycle profile was analyzed as previously described [11 (link)]. Briefly, cells were washed with
ice-cold 0.2% bovine serum albumin in phosphate-buffered saline, and
resus-pended in 250 mM sucrose/40 mM citrate buffer (pH 7.6) containing
0.5% dimethylsulfoxide. Nuclei were prepared, stained with propidium
iodide, and analyzed using the Guava EasyCyte flowcytometry system
(MilliporeSigma, Billerica, MA, USA) with a gate that selects single nuclei
within a normal size range. The cell-cycle parameters from 5,000 gated nuclei
were determined, and subsequent analysis was performed using FCS EXPRESS
software (De Novo Software, Los Angeles, CA, USA).

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.
