Extracellular staining was carried out to detect β2m and CXCR4. Briefly, 3 × 105 to 1 × 106 cells were washed with 2% BSA in PBS (FLUO-Buffer). To determine the living cell population, cells were incubated with Fixable Viability Dye eFluor 780 (eBioscience) at a dilution of 1:1,000. After washing with FLUO-Buffer, primary antibodies (concentration shown in Table 2) were applied for 20 min. Cells were washed in FLUO-Buffer to remove unbound antibodies and incubated with conjugated secondary antibodies for 20 min. Subsequently, cells were again washed and analyzed using an Attune flow cytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). To detect CD45+ cells, a direct fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled primary antibody was used, and the cells were washed with FLUO-Buffer before analysis. Antibodies and concentrations used are shown in Table 2.
For intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 10 min. The subsequent staining process was carried out as described above. Detection of EGFP signal loss in different cells was examined by quantifying the loss of EGFP signal. For all flow cytometry analyses, an Attune flow cytometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used. Data were analyzed with FlowJo 10.4.1 software (FlowJo, LLC 2006-2017).

For apoptosis analysis, 1.5 × 105 cells/well were seeded in 6-well plates. After overnight incubation, the cells were treated with or without quercetin (50, 100, 200 μM) and luteolin (10, 20, 40 μM) for 48 h. The cells were collected and suspended in a 100 μl binding buffer containing 5 μl FITC-conjugated Annexin V and 5 μl PI (Annexin V FITC Apop Dtec, BD). After dark incubation for 15 min at room temperature, a 400 μl binding buffer was added. The apoptosis condition of the cell samples was analyzed using the Attune Flow cytometer (ThermoFisher, USA) within 1 h.
For cell cycle analysis, the cells were collected and fixed with 75% ethanol at −20°C overnight. Then, the cells were incubated with 0.5 ml propidium iodide (PI, 0.5 ml FxCycleTM PI/RNAse Solution, BD) in the dark for 45 min. The cell samples were tested using the Attune Flow cytometer (ThermoFisher, USA) for cell cycle analysis.

WT or TDP1-KO cells were infected with virus particles expressing plenti-V2-RFP-sgAAVS1 (control) or a plenti-V2-GFP-sgRNA targeting APEX1 or APEX2. Seventy-two hours after infection, RFP- and GFP-expressing cells were mixed 1:3. A fraction of mixed cells were seeded into plates, and the remaining mixed cells were analyzed by Attune Flow cytometers (ThermoFisher). During the course of the experiments, cells were sub-cultured at the indicated time points and analyzed by Attune Flow cytometers (ThermoFisher). The day of the mixture was set as day 0. Collected data were analyzed with FlowJo software (FlowJo 10.6.1, Becton Dickinson), and the relative ratios of GFP- and RFP-positive cells were calculated.

Autophagosome Detection in EAC Cells

A flow cytometer was used for the detection of EAC fluorescent autophagosomes. A proprietary fluorescent autophagosome marker (λex = 333/λem = 518 nm) was utilized within an autophagy assay kit (Sigma Aldrich, USA). One hundred microliters of each ascetic fluid of EAC-bearing control mice and treated groups was added to 1 mL of phosphate-buffered saline then centrifuged for 5 min at 21 °C. An autophagosome detection reagent (4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI stain)) was diluted with Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium at 1/10 dilution, and then 4 µL of this reagent was added to cells in each well and the mixture was incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for 30 min. The excess dye was removed by washing with a wash buffer and then centrifuged for 5 min at 21 °C for removal of the excess dye. The washing step was repeated twice.
One hundred microliters of phosphate-buffered saline was added to the last pellet and the fluorescence was determined (Ex. 360 nm, Em. 520 nm), where ex: fluorescent excitation (blue), em: fluorescent emission (green) in blue configuration, with an Attune Flow Cytometer (Applied Biosystem, USA).

Apoptotic cells were quantified using an Annexin V-FITC-propidium iodide (PI) double staining kit (Cat. No. 556547 BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Each of the HCT-116 and Caco-2 cells was plated in a 24-well plate (5 ´ 105 cells/well) and then incubated for 24 hours for attachment, and then the cells were treated with Q and/or 5-FU, as in the experimental design, for 48 hours. After cell collection by trypsinization, HCT-116 and Caco-2 cells were washed with PBS and stained by annexin V/propidium (BD Biosciences) based on the manufacturer’s instructions for 25 minutes at room temperature in a dark place. The stained cells were analysed using an Attune flow cytometer (Applied Bio-system, USA). Experiments were performed in triplicate.

A volume of 150 μL PBS + 350 μL ice-cold 70% ethanol was added and incubated at 4 °C for 1 h to fix the cells. To remove ethanol, the mixture was centrifuged at 350 rpm for 10 min and then the supernatant was removed. The mixture was washed twice in warm PBS and the cells were re-suspended in 500 μL of warm PBS, centrifuged, and the supernatant was removed. The cells were resuspended in 100 μL PBS and stored at 4 °C for up to four days.

Differential ultracentrifugation was used to isolate the exosomes. Fat globules, casein aggregates, and other debris were removed from the milk sample by centrifugation at 5000 g for 15 min at 4 °C then at 13,000 g/30 min/4 °C. Exosomes were extracted from supernatants by twice ultracentrifugation at 100,000 g (Optima L-90okay; Beckman Coulter) for 90 min each at 4 °C, followed by a brief wash with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) to remove large debris and microvesicles. To produce a homogeneous suspension, the exosome pellets were collected and resuspended in PBS at a concentration of 6 mg/mL, centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 30 min twice with the 100 kDa filters, and stored at 4 °C until the next use. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) at 80 kV was used to identify the size of exosomes as previously described [27 (link)]. Confirmation of exosomal isolation was carried out by the detection of specific exosomal proteins CD63 and CD81 using anti-CD63 (1:200, Santa Cruz, Germany) and anti-CD81 (1:200, Santa Cruz, Germany) by Attune flow cytometer (Applied Biosystem, Foster City, CA, USA) and a standard Nanobead calibration kit containing beads (50 and 100 nm, Technologies Drive Fisher, Ann Arbor, MI, USA).

Flow cytometry was used to determine the influence of various treatments on the number of cells in each phase of the cell cycle, and it was carried out as previously described by Abdelwahab et al. (2019) (link) with minor changes. Collagenase enzyme (0.1 percent, Invitrogen, United States) was used to lyse freshly dissected liver tissues, which were subsequently mesh filtered (0.7 mm nylon) and centrifuged (4,000 rpm/5 min). The cells were fixed and stained with propidium iodide before being examined with an Attune flow cytometer (Applied Bio-system, United States). Each cell cycle phase’s number of cells was counted and expressed as a percentage of the total number of 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.
