Yeast Cell Cycle Synchronization Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Yeast cultures were inoculated from overnight cultures, grown using standard growth conditions and media. All cultures were grown in YPD-media containing glucose (2%) as carbon source at 28 °C, except for the temperature-sensitive strains (smc6-56 and top2-4) that were grown at 25 °C. For cell cycle synchronization, logarithmic cells grown at 28 °C were arrested in G1 using 3–5 μg/ml of alpha factor for 2–3 h. G2/M arrest was performed with 10–20 μg/ml of nocodazole for 2–3 h. Synchronization was verified microscopically and by flow cytometry (FACS) analysis (see Supplementary Fig. 3c). FACS sample acquisition and analysis was performed using the BD CellQuest Version 3.3. Hydroxyurea (HU) was used at the concentration of 0.2 M unless otherwise indicated. For drug sensitivity and fitness viability assays, cells from overnight cultures were counted and diluted before being spotted in serial dilutions on YPD plates containing the indicated concentrations of HU and incubated at 28 or 30 °C as indicated for 2–3 days.

After incubation under previously described cell culture conditions, ROS was detected by 5 μM DCFDA staining at 37 °C for 30 min. The image of cells was taken by a laser confocal scanning microscope (Leica Microsystems). ROS intensity was verified using an automated high-speed cytometer sorting system with BD Cell Quest version 3.3. Relative ROS production was measured using a fluorescence microplate reader (Bio Tek). Fluorescent was measured at an excitation wavelength of 485 nm and an emission wavelength of 520 nm.

In order to determine the effects of CDDP on HepG2 cell apoptosis, annexin V/propidium iodide (PI) staining was performed and analysis was conducted by flow cytometry (FACSCalibur; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), following the instructions of the annexin V FITC apoptosis detection kit (BD Biosciences). Briefly, cells were harvested, washed twice with precooled PBS and resuspended in 500 μl binding buffer following treatment with different concentrations of CDDP and NAC. Then, the cells were stained with 5 μl annexin V-FITC and 5 μl PI for 15 min at room temperature in the dark. The cell suspension was analyzed by flow cytometry. A blue (488 nm) excitation laser was used for both FITC and PI emission channels. The measured results were analyzed using CellQuest version 3.3 software (BD Biosciences).

All experiments were performed in triplicate. A total of 1×106 cells were plated in 6-well plates. Subsequent to 24 h treatment with the chemotherapy drugs (1 µM taxane, 500 nM TSA and 40 nM PS-341, individually or in combination) or DMSO as control, the cells were washed twice with PBS, stained with 5 µl Annexin V- Phycoerythrin (PE) and 5 µl 7-amino-actinomycin D (5 µg/ml) in 1X binding buffer following the protocol of the manufacturer (Nanjing Keygen Biotech, Co., Ltd, Nanjing, China) and analyzed using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) 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.
