The untreated JA cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and harvested with an enzyme-free dissociation buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Darmstadt, Germany). The cells were incubated with a phycoerythrin (PE)-labeled primary anti-NG2 antibody for 30 min at room temperature. Thereafter, the cells were washed with PBS and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of 1000 cells was analyzed by a FACSLyric™ flow cytometer (BD, Heidelberg, Germany). The non-expressing NG2 cell line HEK293 was used as a negative control.
To determine cell proliferation, the JA cells were treated with CX-4945 (10 µM), SGC-CK2-1 (5 µM) or DMSO and exposed to 10 µM BrdU for 48 h. Thereafter, the cells were fixed, permeabilized and incubated with an anti-BrdU antibody. The cells were then washed with PBS and the MFI of 500 cells was analyzed by a FACSLyric™ flow cytometer (BD, Heidelberg, Germany).

Quantifying Apoptotic Glioma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The quantification of cell numbers was performed using the BD FACSLyric™ flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), which utilizes its fixed-speed-aspiration capability to count cells. Initially, the supernatant containing both floating and dead cells was collected. To inactivate trypsin and prevent potential cell loss, the collected supernatant from each sample was used for cell resuspension. To avoid any loss of cells, the harvested cells were neither washed nor centrifuged. A portion of each sample was then vortexed and immediately measured for a duration of 45 s. The total number of cells in the sample was calculated based on the count obtained from the measured sample fraction, considering only events that corresponded to cells of normal size, with debris excluded.
Apoptotic glioma cells were detected using Annexin V staining. Cells were first trypsinized, then washed and resuspended in 50 µL of Annexin V binding buffer (pH 7.4) containing 10 mM HEPES, 140 mM NaCl, and 2.5 mM CaCl 2 . The cells were then incubated with 1.25 µL of APC-conjugated Annexin V probe (BD Biosciences, Cat. # 550475) for 15 min at room temperature. Following incubation, the cells were analyzed using the BD FACSLyric™ flow cytometer (BD Biosciences) to identify and quantify apoptotic cells.

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.
