The ratio of the decrease in the cell mitochondrial membrane potential and cell apoptosis after nanoparticle treatment was analysed by flow cytometry. H9C2 cells (1×106 cells well−1) were seeded in 6‐well plates and cultured for 24 h at 37 °C. Nanoparticles (30 µg mL−1) were added to 6‐well plates, and the cells were subjected to OGD/R treatment. After treatment, all the cells were collected, and the cells were stained according to the instructions of the apoptosis detection kit (331 200, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and MMP detection kit (V35116, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then, the stained cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Cytoflex, Beckman, CA, USA).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The substantia nigra (SN) region of the mouse brain was cut at 40 μm on a cryostat and stored at −80 °C. To perform terminal transferase-mediated dUTP nick end-labeling (TUNEL) analyses, sections were fixed in 4% PFA for 30minutes and then washed several times with room temperature PBS. Then, the sections were incubated in cold ethanol/acetic acid 2:1 for 5mins and washed in PBS again. The labeling of neuronal apoptosis in SN sections was performed using the apoptosis detection kit purchased from ThermoScientific (USA), which is based on the in situ TUNEL technique using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and the images though confocal microscope were acquired (Leica TCS SP5).

Apoptosis and Proliferation Analysis of BMSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were stained using an apoptosis detection kit (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions 31 (link). Briefly, BMSCs were harvested after cultured with different conditioned media or culture medium (Ctrl) supplemented with 10% FBS for 3 days. The BMSCs were then resuspended in 1× annexin-binding buffer (100 μL) and incubated with 1 μL propidium iodide (PI, 100 μg/mL) and 5 μL Annexin V for 30 min in the dark and analyzed via flow cytometry.
Cell proliferation was monitored using Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) (n = 6). Briefly, BMSCs were seeded in 96-well plates at a density of 3×103 cells/well and cultured in conditioned media or control medium supplemented with 10% FBS for 1, 3, 5 and 7 days.

LO2 cells apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometric analysis. Briefly, the collected LO2 cells (1 × 105 cells/mL) were cultured in 96-well plates for 24 h, and then were stained with V-FITC and PI using an apoptosis detection kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific; cat. no. 88–8005-74) at 25°C for 20 min in the dark. The apoptotic cells were measured using a flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).
Meanwhile, flow cytometry analysis was also used for the ROS generation assay. Briefly, LO2 cells were stained with DCFH-DA (Sigma Aldrich; cat.no.

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.
