Cells were seeded in cell culture 10-mm × 20-mm dishes (Corning) at a density of 1 × 106 cells. After 8 h of serum starvation, the cells were treated with 5 μM and 10 μM ATRA for 24 h and 48 h. For the cell cycle analysis, 1 × 106 cells were washed in PBS and resuspended in 200 μl propidium iodide (50 μg/ml in PBS; Sigma), plus 50 μl RNaseA solution (100 μg/ml in water; Sigma) and 0/004% NP40 in PBS. The cells were incubated at 37 °C for 3 h in the dark. The cell-cycle distribution was then analyzed using flow cytometry, by fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis (BD FACS, Canto II, BD Biosciences). The means and standard deviations were calculated from two independent experiments.

Cells were seeded in 6-well plates and allowed to attach for 24 h. One hour after treatment with SAR (0.125 μM, 0.25 μM), cells were irradiated with 8 Gy single dose and treated with 5-aza-dC (0.1 μM, 0.5 μM) or TMZ (50 μM, 100 μM). Cells were harvested by trypsinization 4, 24, and 96 h after IR, washed twice with PBS and stained with Annexin V FITC antibody and propidium iodide. Cell staining was measured by flow cytometry (Beckman Coulter, EPICS XL). Additionally, apoptosis-induced DNA fragmentation was determined in sub-G1 fraction of cell cycle analysis (Nicoletti assay) after propidium iodide staining. Cells were treated and harvested as mentioned above, washed twice with PBS, fixed with 70% ethanol, and stored at − 20 °C overnight. After two washes with PBS cells were incubated with 0.1 mg/ml RNAseA solution (Sigma-Aldrich) at 37 °C for 20 min. Then, 50 μg/ml propidium iodide (Sigma-Aldrich) was added and the solution was incubated at 4 °C for 10 min before DNA content was measured by flow cytometry.

Cell cycle analysis was performed using a cell cycle measurement kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). NP cells were seeded at a density of 1x105/well in a six-well plate, pretreated with different concentrations of PCA (10 or 50 µg/ml) for 2 h and then stimulated with 200 µM H2O2 for 2 h in the presence or absence of PCA (10 or 50 µg/ml) at 37˚C.

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.
