Hoechst 33342 pi kit
The Hoechst 33342/PI kit is a fluorescent staining solution used in cell biology applications. It contains Hoechst 33342, a cell-permeable dye that binds to DNA, and propidium iodide (PI), a dye that can only enter cells with compromised membranes. This kit allows for the simultaneous staining and detection of live and dead cells.

Investigating Autophagy and Apoptosis Mechanisms
Apoptosis and Necrosis Assay for SH-SY5Y Cells
Apoptosis kit (194785, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and a Hoechst 33342/PI kit (CA1120, Solarbio, Beijing, China) according to the operation protocol [38 , 39 ]. Briefly, after incubation and treatment, SH-SY5Y cells were harvested using 0.05% trypsin, centrifuged to remove the medium, washed twice with ice-cold PBS, and resuspended in 500 μL of 1X binding buffer. The 5 × 104 cells (30 μL of cell suspension) were mixed and incubated with 5 μL of Annexin V-FITc reagent at 37°C for 30 min under dark conditions, and followed by propidium iodide (PI, 5 μL) staining for 5 min. Stained cells were measured via a FACSCanto flow cytometry (BD, Biosciences, USA). The percentage of cells in quadrant 2 (Q2) and 4 (Q4) were quantitatively analyzed, generating the total percentage of apoptotic cells (apoptotic index) both early and late apoptotic stage. All experiments were performed in triplicate.
Meanwhile, after incubation and treatment, cells were washed three times with FBS-free DMEM and then incubated with the 10 μg/mL Hoechst 33342 staining solution for 20 min at room temperature in the dark, followed by PI staining for 5 min. Finally, after washed two times with DMEM, the cells were examined using a fluorescence microscope (EVOS M5000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA).
Cell Viability and Apoptosis Assay
Flow cytometry assay was performed to measure the cell apoptosis. Cells were suspended in 100 μl of binding buffer (Nanjing KeyGen Biotech. Co., Ltd., China). Then, apoptosis was detected using Hoechst 33342/PI Kit according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Solarbio, Beijing, China). Cells were stained with 5 μl of Hoechst 33342 solution and incubated in the dark at room temperature for 10 min. Then, 5 μl of propidium iodide (PI) was added to the cell suspension. Hoechst 33342/PI-stained cells were analyzed immediately by using Scalibur Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences, United States).

The Hoechst 33342/PI kit (Solarbio, China) and radio immunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer were purchased from Keygen (Solarbio, China). The BCA protein assay kit was purchased from Thermo Fisher (Pittsburgh, PA). Antibodies were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and Abcam (Abcam, Cambridge, Mass., USA). All other chemicals and reagents were purchased from Sigma (Saint-Louis, MO, 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.
