SW620 cells were seeded in 6-well plates and then treated with vehicle, IL-6, and/or α-hederin, or PDTC at different concentrations for 24 h. Apoptosis was evaluated using a Hoechst 33258 staining kit provided by Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology (Haimen, China) according to the protocol. Morphology of apoptotic cells was observed using a fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). The nucleus of apoptotic cells takes up the Hoechst reagent and exhibits a bright blue fluorescence. Results were from experiments in triplicate.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Hoechst 33258 Staining Kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to detect the morphological features of apoptotic cells. Exponentially growing GC cells were placed into sterile 6-well plates at 1×105 cells/well and incubated for 24 h. Subsequently, the cells in the wells were treated with hesperetin (200 μM), DDP (4 μg/ml), or hesperetin + DDP (200 μM + 4 μg/ml) for another 24 h. Ultimately, the cells were stained with Hoechst 33258 according to the manufactures’ instructions. Additionally, transfected GC cells were also exposed to hesperetin + DDP (200 μM + 4 μg/ml) for 24 h and stained as described above. The morphological features of the apoptotic cells were observed under a fluorescent microscope (BX51, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). The ratio of the apoptotic cell number to the total cell number defined the apoptosis ratio.

Apoptosis Assessment Techniques

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Morphological assessment of apoptotic cells was performed using Hoechst 33258 staining kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) according to the supplier's protocols. Briefly, the cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and were washed twice with PBS. Then, the cells were stained with 0.5 ml of Hoechst 33258 staining for 5 min and were observed under a fluorescence microscope at 350 nm.
The annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)/propidium iodide (PI) kit (BD, San Jose, CA, USA) was used to assess cell apoptosis according to the supplier's protocols. Forty-eight hours after transfection, cells were collected, counted, centrifuged, and resuspended to 5 × 105 cells in 500 μl of 1 × binding buffer. Annexin V-FITC (5 μl) and 10 μl PI were added to each tube. The samples were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 min. Samples were then examined immediately on a flow cytometry (Beckman, Fullerton, CA, USA).
Cell apoptosis was examined by analyzing the activity of Caspase-3 using the Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (R and D, Minneapolis, MN, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The optical density (OD) values were measured using an ELISA microplate reader (Bio-Rad, Hercules, 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.
