SH-SY5Y cell apoptosis and necrosis were detected by using an ANNEXIN V/Dead Cell.
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 Counting Kit-8 was used to measure the cell viability according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Beyotime, China). SHSY-5Y cells were seeded in the 96-well plates at a density of 5 × 103 cells/well. After the incubation, the culture medium was replaced by basal medium containing 10% CCK-8 solution, and the incubation continued for another 1 h at 37°C. Absorbance was measured at 450 nm by a microplate reader (Bio-Rad, United States).
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).

Cells at passage 3 were grown in 24-well plates and were treated with 10−6 mol/L Dex for 10 days. From day 1 to day 10, a chromatin dye Hoechst 33342/PI Kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China) was used to assess the morphology of the apoptotic cells, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Apoptotic cells, which showed morphological characteristics, such as chromatic agglutination, karyopyknosis, and nuclear fragmentation, were identified and counted under a fluorescent microscope. Necrotic cells emitted a red hyperfluorescence and a blue hyperfluorescence. In addition, Hoechst 33342/PI staining assay of the hBMSCs treated with various concentrations of Dex (10−8 mol/L, 10−7 mol/L, and 10−6 mol/L) was also performed for 7 days. The hBMSCs were treated with the solvent of Dex as the control. The experiment was performed in triplicate.

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.
