Hoechst 33342 Staining for Side Population

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Forty-eight hours after transfection with specific siRNAs, CNE2 and 5-8F cells were trypsinized and resuspended at density of 1 × 106 cells per ml. The DNA-binding dye, Hoechst 33342 (Sigma-Aldrich), was then added at a final concentration of 7.5 μg/ml and incubated for 90 min in the dark with periodic mixing. After washing twice with PBS, the cells were placed at 4 °C in the dark before flow cytometry (EPICS ALTRA Flow Cytosorter, Beckman Coulter, Indianapolis, IN, USA) using dual-wavelength analysis. However, a fraction of the cell preparation was incubated with 5 μM Ko143 (Ko143, a specific inhibitor of ABCG2, Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min at 37 °C before adding Hoechst 33342 to determine whether Ko143 would block the fluorescent efflux of SP cell.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
K562 WT-, mock-, and ABCG2-transfected cells were treated with 0–200 µM ruxolitinib for 72 h to calculate the IC50 of ruxolitinib. To treat the K562 WT-, mock-, and ABCG2-transfected cells, 30 µM ruxolitinib (IC50 K562-WT), a potent and selective ABCG2 inhibitor at the concentration used, was used with or without 0.5 µM KO143 pre-treatment for 1 h (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) [43 (link),44 (link)]. MPN and ABCG2null RBCs were treated with 50 µM ruxolitinib for 72 h with or without 0.01 µM KO143 pre-treatment for 1 h. Cultured erythroid cells were treated with 0.1 µM ruxolitinib for 48 h with or without 1 µM KO143 pre-treatment for 1 h. DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used as the solvent control. Cell viability was measured by Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK8) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and PS exposure was measured using an annexin V kit.

Measuring ABCG2 Expression in Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We determined the cell surface expression of ABCG2 in the stable HeLa cell lines and in transiently transfected HEK293 cells 48 h after transfection. Antibody labeling was performed in trypsinized cells with the ABCG2-specific 5D3 mouse monoclonal antibody (gift of Bryan Sorrentino, Division of Experimental Hematology, Department of Hematology/Oncology, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital). Ko143 is an ABCG2 inhibitor that has an impact on ABCG2 conformation, thus helping 5D3 antibody recognition. 1 µM Ko143 (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. K2144) was added to the samples before the measurements. Alexa Fluor 647-labeled IgG2b (Thermo Fisher, cat. A-21242) was used as a secondary antibody. Propidium iodide (final concentration: 1.6 µg/ml, Sigma Aldrich, cat. 4170) was used for dead cell separation. Measurements were carried out in FACS Canto II after gating for live, EGFP positive 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.
