Annexin 5 apoptosis kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The Annexin V apoptosis kit is a laboratory product designed to detect and quantify apoptosis, a regulated form of cell death. The kit utilizes Annexin V, a protein that binds to phosphatidylserine, a molecule that is exposed on the surface of cells undergoing apoptosis. The kit also includes a nuclear stain to identify late-stage apoptotic or necrotic cells. The core function of the Annexin V apoptosis kit is to provide a tool for researchers to study and analyze the process of programmed cell death.

PBMCs were isolated using HiSep™ LSM 1077 (Himedia Laboratories). Briefly, EDTA blood was diluted 1:1 with sterile PBS and layered on HiSep™ LSM 1077. Samples were centrifuged for 30 min at 500g without applying a brake. Comparable viability of PBMCs in control and T2DM patients was flow cytometrically determined by AnnexinV apoptosis kit (eBiosciences) (Supplementary Figure 1). The PBMC interface was carefully removed and washed twice with PBS. CD4+ T cells were purified from PBMC by standard MACS protocol (MiltenyiBiotec). Finally, PBMC and CD4+ T cells were cultured in anti-CD3 (eBioscience) coated plates treated with 2 μg/ml anti-CD28 antibodies (BD Pharmingen) in 10% FBS containing RPMI media. For DPP4 and KLK5 secretion analyses, culture supernatants were assayed for DPP4 and KLK5 levels by ELISA (R&D Systems). To identify the specific proteolytic enzyme involved in DPP4 shedding, 10 μM MMP inhibitor (GM 6001; Sigma) and 100 μg/ml KLK inhibitor (aprotinin; Sigma) were used for 24 h and 16 h respectively.

Apoptotic cells were measured using the Annexin V apoptosis kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (88-8007, eBioscience). Briefly, cells were trypsinized, washed once with PBS, and centrifugated at 1300 rpm for 5 min. After that, cells were washed once in 1×binding buffer and resuspended in 1×staining buffer to 106-107cells/ml. Then, 100μl cell (about 5×105 cells) were incubated with 10μlAnnexin V-APC at room temperature for 15 min in the dark. Finally, annexin V-stained cells were analyzed with flow cytometer (Millipore, Billerica, MA) as a measure of cell apoptosis.

At the indicated time point after transfection, cells were collected by centrifugation after incubation with 5.0 mg/ml 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) Dimethyl sulfoxide (200 μl) was added into the sediments, and then spectrophotometry at 490 nm was used for the measurement of the absorbance. To identify cell apoptosis, cells were also stained using an annexin V apoptosis kit (eBiosciences, USA) and analyzed using flow cytometry.
For colony formation capacity detection, glioblastoma cells were plated in six-well plates in triplicate (400 cells/well). The cells were incubated for 2 weeks, and the culture media was refreshed per 3d. The colonies were stained with crystal violet. The colonies including 50 cells or more cells were counted.

Quantifying Apoptosis and Caspase Activity

Apoptotic cells were assessed using the Annexin V apoptosis kit (88–8007; eBioscience). In short, cells were trypsinized, washed and centrifuged at 283 × g for 5 min. Then, 1X binding buffer was used to wash the cells again by resuspending the cells in 200 µl. Then, the cells were incubated with 10 µl Annexin V-APC at room temperature for 15 min in the dark. Finally, the Annexin V-stained cells were analyzed with a flow cytometer (Millipore) to determine the proportion of apoptotic cells.
Caspase-3/7 are central effector caspases in apoptosis and are usually used to measure apoptotic activities. GBM cells were first transfected with the ZWINT shRNA and NC. Next, 1×104 infected cells/well were seeded in a 96-well plate. Caspase-Glo 3/7 reagent (100 µl, G8091; Promega) was added to each well, the plate was shaken for 30 min constantly and incubation was carried out at ambient temperature for 2 h. The luminescence signal was detected with an M2009PR (Tecan Infinite) plate reader.

For cell-cell binding assays, RAW267.4 monocytes pre-labeled with Cell Tracker Red CMTPX Dye (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) were co-cultured with confluent EpRAS cancer cells pre-treated with E-Cig 0.5% at a density of 2.5 × 105 cells/cm2 for 75 min to allow cell-cell binding. After the incubation, the co-culture was washed 3 times with 1X PBS to remove unbound monocytes, and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, followed by Hoechst 33342 staining. After three-washes, cells were visualized on fluorescent microscope. For inhibition study, RAW267.4 cells were pre-treated with 25 nM BIO 5192 (Tocris, Bristol, UK) for 4 h before co-cultured with EpRAS cells. For survival assays, the co-culture of non-labeled RAW267.4 monocytes and EpRAS cancer cells was further incubated with 100 ng/mL recombinant TRAIL (PeproTech Inc., Rocky Hill, NJ) to trigger apoptosis. After overnight treatment, the cells were washed 3 times with 1X PBS and harvested by Accutase solution. The single cell suspension was stained with anti-mouse CD45 antibody (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and Annexin V apoptosis kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) as per manufacturer’s instructions. The stained cells were analyzed with the LSR II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA). All experiments were independently repeated at least 2 times.

Flow cytometry was performed as previously described18 (link). Cells were harvested at various time points after they were harvested with trypsin-EDTA, washed with PBS, and fixed in 70% ethanol at 4 °C for 1 h. Ethanol was removed, and the cell pellet was washed with PBS twice before staining. An Annexin-V apoptosis kit (Invitrogen) was used for the detection of cell apoptosis using a BD FACS Celesta flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Briefly, propidium iodide (PI) fluorescence was analyzed by excitation with a 488 nm argon ion laser and detection using a 620 nm band-pass filter. Doublets and higher aggregates were excluded by gating, and 10,000 events (excluding doublets) were recorded per sample.

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.
