Cells were incubated for 1 h at 4°C in the following antibodies that were diluted in BD Perm/Wash (BD Biosciences) buffer: anti-RNA-Binding Protein With Multiple Splicing (RBPMS; rabbit polyclonal IgG; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA; 1:100 dilution); anti-SNCG (rabbit polyclonal IgG; GeneTex, 1:100 dilution), Brain-Specific Homeobox/POU Domain Protein 3A (BRN3A; goat ployclonal IgG; Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 1:100 dilution); and anti-TUJ1 (mouse monoclonal IgG2a; Covance; 1:100 dilution). The appropriate Alexa Fluor 488 tagged secondary antibodies (1:200 dilution; Invitrogen) were used to allow for data acquisition and analysis. Cells were kept in PBS/1%FBS on ice until the time of analysis. Data acquisition was performed on a BD LSRII Flow Cytometer (BD Biosciences) and analyses were performed using FlowJo vX10.0.6 (Tree Star, Inc., Ashland, OR, USA). To confirm results we performed additional data acquisition using the Miltenyi Biotec MACSQuant® 10 Analyzer (Myltenyi Biotec, San Diego, CA, USA).

Cells were stimulated with wound fluids and conditioned medium and analysed at 9 time points: 30 min and 1, 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h after addition of fluids. Cells were then collected using Accutase (Biowest, France), fixated with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm™ Fixation/Permeabilization Solution (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA) and stained with fluorochrome-conjugated monoclonal antibodies: anti-human active caspase-3 antibody (Alexa Fluor 647 conjugated, rabbit IgG) (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA, Catalogue No. 552933), anti-human cleaved PARP antibody (PE conjugated, mouse IgG1) (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA Catalogue no. 552933) and anti-human γH2AX antibody (Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated, mouse IgG1) (BD Biosciences, NJ, USA Catalogue No. 560445). The stained cells were analysed using BD Accuri C6 (BD Biosciences, NJ, and USA). For quantification of each fluorescence signal, the median fluorescence intensity (MFI) was used. The results were normalized to the MFI of control (untreated) cells for each time point analysed.

Cells were resuspended to a concentration of 1 × 106 cells were plated in triplicate in a 12-well tissue culture plate. For assessment of annexin V staining, cells were washed with PBS and then resuspended in PBS with annexin V-APC (BioLegend) and propidium iodide at a dilution of 1:1000. For intracellular detection of cleaved caspase 3, cells were fixed and permeabilized using the BD Cytofix/Cytoperm Fixation/Permeabilization solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions (BD Biosciences). Cells were then stained using the Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated anti-active caspase-3 (BD Biosciences) at a dilution of 1:50. Cells were incubated for 30 minutes room temperature in the dark, washed, and then analyzed using the BD LSRFortessa cell analyzer. For assessment of differentiation, cells were stained using the anti-human CD14 PE at a dilution of 1:20 (Affymetrix eBiosciences) and anti-human CD66b at a dilution of 1:20 (Affymetrix eBiosciences).

LNCaP cells (un- and treated with different concentrations of leptins) were stained for cPARP with the PE Mouse Anti-Cleaved PARP (Asp214) antibody (562253, BD Biosciences, NJ, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, 1 × 106 un- and treated cells were fixed and permeabilized with BD Cytofix/Cytoperm Fixation/Permeabilization Solution for 30 min at room temperature. Then, the additional permeabilization and fixation was performed. The fixed cells were washed with BD Perm/Wash Buffer and stained with appropriate antibody (5 μL/test) for 20 min at room temperature. The stained and washed cells were resuspended in 500 μL PBS and analyzed with a flow cytometer (CytoFLEX, Beckman Coulter, CA, USA). Fluorescence intensity in arbitrary units was plotted in histograms and the mean fluorescence intensity was calculated. Data were analyzed using FlowJo software (FlowJo v10; LLC, Ashland, OR, 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.
