Quantifying Caspase-3 Activation in Apoptosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Caspase-3 activation was analyzed by using a NucView 488 caspase-3 substrate assay kit (Biotium, Hayward, CA). The principle of this assay consists of a fluorogenic substrate which is cleaved by an active caspase-3 releasing a product that after binding to the DNA emits a bright green fluorescence signal. HL-60 cells were plated in 24-well plates (100,000) and exposed to Pyr-1 for 6 h. Controls were included as previously described. After the incubation period, cells were harvested in flow cytometry tubes and centrifuged at 262g, for 5 min. Cell pellets were disrupted by adding 200 μL of PBS containing 5 μL of NucView 488 Caspase-3 substrate (5 μM final concentration), and cell suspensions were incubated at room temperature for 30 min in the dark. After this step, 300 μL of PBS was added to the cell mixture and immediately analyzed by flow cytometry. Cells emitting a green positive signal were denoted as apoptotic (caspase-3 active). Approximately 10,000 cells (events) were collected per sample and analyzed by using Kaluza Flow Cytometry Software (Beckman Coulter).

An asynchronous culture of CEM cells was seeded in 24-well plates at a density of 100,000 cells/well in 1 ml of complete culture media and treated with concentrations of compound F18 for 72 h. Controls included in this experiment were DMSO, hydrogen peroxide, and untreated cells, as described above. Cells were treated with 50 μM, 25 μM, or 10 μM of compound F18. Concentrations of experimental treatments were chosen based on the CC50 value of the given compound. After 72 h, cells were collected, centrifuged at 262 g for 5 min, and resuspended in 100 μL of complete culture media. Then, 200 μL of a nuclear isolation medium (NIM)-DAPI solution, which simultaneously permeabilizes the plasma membrane and stains DNA with the violet-excited DNA-intercalating agent DAPI, was added to each sample and immediately analyzed by flow cytometry. Approximately 100,000 events (cells) were analyzed per sample to obtain a well-defined cell cycle profile using the Kaluza flow cytometry software (Beckman Coulter) [76 (link)]. All experimental treatments and controls were assessed in triplicate.

To measure apoptosis, MCF-7 cells were seeded at 2 × 105 cells/ml in 6-cm culture dishes, cultured for 1 day, and treated with 5, 10, or 20 μg/ml n-hexane fractions of KYC4048 extract for 72 h. Cells were then harvested, washed with ice-cold PBS, fixed at 4°C for 24 h with ice-cold 75% ethanol, and pelleted by centrifugation at 1,500 ×g for 5 min at 4°C. Subsequently, cells were washed with PBS, treated for 1 h with 0.5 μg/ml RNase A in PI buffer, and stained for 30 min in the dark with 20 μg/ml PI at 37°C. Cell cycle distribution was then analyzed on the basis of DNA content using Kaluza flow cytometry software (Beckman Coulter, USA). Apoptosis was also quantified by flow cytometry based on annexin V-FITC and PI double staining. Briefly, MCF-7 cells were exposed to n-hexane fractions of KYC4048 metabolites, trypsinized, collected by centrifugation, resuspended in annexin V-FITC binding buffer (500 μl), and incubated at room temperature for 30 min in the dark with 1 μg/ml annexin V-FITC and 10 μg/ml propidium iodide. Samples were then analyzed with the Kaluza flow cytometry software.

JEG3 cells treated with CER+Q-VD-OPh were dissociated using 0.5 ml per well TrypLE express (Invitrogen), washed and processed in accordance with the FITC Annexin V Apoptosis Detection Kit 1 (BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA, USA) at a concentration of 1 × 106 cells/ml. In brief, Annexin V and/or propidium iodide were added to the cells and incubated alongside a binding buffer for 15 min at room temperature protected from light, then thoroughly washed. Data were acquired using the Beckman Coulter Gallios 10/3 flow cytometer and analyzed with Kaluza flow cytometry software (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA). Annexin V-positive events were measured using the FL-1 channel (525 emission maximum), whereas the FL-4 channel (670 nm emission maximum) was used for propidium iodide-positive events. Unstained cells, cells stained only with FITC Annexin V and cells stained only with propidium iodide were included as controls.

The procedures to perform blood immune phenotyping on fresh-whole-blood samples and flow cytometry antibodies and fluorochromes used are described in the online supplemental methods and table S1, respectively. Unsupervised analysis of flow cytometry data were performed using t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) algorithm with the online R software (V.3,5,0, cytofkit2 package). After setting the compensation matrix, CD19 +or CD3+cells events were extracted and software transformation was applied, t-SNE analysis was achieved on 2000 CD19 +for each sample, using ‘B-cell’ panel markers. Flow cytometry gating strategy were performed as previously described.31 (link) Supervised analysis of flow cytometry data were performed using Kaluza Flow Cytometry Software (Beckman Coulter) and was done by a single operator, blinded to the clinical patients’ information. Graphs for flow cytometry data were performed by GraphPad Prism V.8.0 (GraphPad Software) and by R software (V.4.1.1; packages corrplot).

Cell Cycle Analysis of HL-60 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HL-60 cells were seeded in 24-well plates at a concentration of 100,000 cells containing 1 mL of culture media per well. Cells were treated with 0.25 μM (CC25) and 0.39 μM (CC50) of Pyr-1 for a 72-h period. The controls included for this series of experiments were as previously described. Cells were subsequently collected in flow cytometry tubes, centrifuged at 262g for 5 min, and gently re-suspended in 100 μL of fresh culture media. Then, 200 μL of nuclear isolation medium (NIM)-DAPI solution (NPE Systems, Inc. Pembroke Pines, FL, USA and Beckman Coulter) was added to the cell suspension and immediately analyzed via flow cytometry. The NIM-DAPI reagent is able to permeabilize and stain the nuclei of the cells allowing to quantify their DNA content by using an FL-9 detector and the 405-nm laser for excitation purposes (Gallios). This FL-9 detector captures the fluorescence signal emitted when DAPI is intercalated to DNA (461 nm); therefore, omitting the signal when DAPI is complexed with RNA (~ 500 nm). For the purpose of obtaining a well-defined cell cycle distribution profile, 100,000 cells (events) were acquired per sample and analyzed via Kaluza Flow Cytometry Software (Beckman Coulter). Each experimental point, as well as their corresponding controls, were processed concurrently and assessed 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.
