Asynchronous cells were pulse-labelled for 15 min with EdU (5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine) and then fixed and stained to visualize cells in the S phase as described by the manufacturer (Invitrogen). Cells were also labelled with MPM-2 monoclonal antibody (1:500, Abcam) to visualize mitotic cells. DNA was stained with 10 μg ml−1 propidium iodide in the presence of 0.1 mg ml−1 RNAse A (Sigma-Aldrich). Fluorescence was acquired using a MACS-Quant flow cytometer (Miltenyi), and data were processed in MACS-Quantify (Miltenyi) and Venturi-One (Applied Cytometry Systems) softwares. Cell ploidy was inferred from DNA contents in confluent quiescent cells. The growth curve was established from triplicate cultures initiated at the density of 2 × 103 cells per cm2 and counted every 24 h over 5 days using a MACS-Quant flow cytometer (Miltenyi).

For cell cycle analysis, cells were harvested at the completion of the miRNAs treatments and washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; pH 7.4) before being fixed with 70% ethanol on the wheel for 15 min at 4 °C. Subsequently, the cells were centrifuged at 4500 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C, washed with phosphate-buffered saline and were resuspended in 600 μl of 0,1% sodium citrate (Sigma-Aldrich), 50 μg/ml of propidium iodide (PI, Sigma-Aldrich) and 10 μg/ml of Ribonuclease A (Sigma-Aldrich) for staining cellular DNA. The cellular DNA content was then analyzed using a MACS Quant Flow Cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec). Data analysis was carried out using FlowJo software. For the apoptosis analysis, after treatment with miRNAs 10 nM, cells were washed with PBS and stained with Annexin V-FITC and PI using the Apoptosis Detection Kit (Bender Medsystems) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Annexin-positive cells were counted using a MACS Quant Flow Cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec) within 1 h after staining. Data analysis was carried out using FlowJo software.

To assess the viability, gene expression profile, and immunophenotype of hAMSCs adhered to the plastic around the CaP-coated samples, cells were preliminarily harvested with 0.05% trypsin (PanEco, Moscow, Russia) in 0.53 mM EDTA (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline.
The surface markers on viable hAMSCs were analyzed with a Human MSC Phenotyping Kit (cat. no. 130-095-198, Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany), which detects the markers CD14, CD20, CD34, CD45, CD73, CD90, and CD105. After a 10-min incubation with the labeled monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), the cells were assayed using a MACS Quant flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The in vitro viability of hAMSCs was also estimated with the MACS Quant flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) after staining with a solution of Annexin V: FITC (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and propidium iodide (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The flow cytometric data were analyzed using KALUZA analysis software (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).

After incubation at 37°C for 45 min, non-phagocytic RBCs were removed by washing three times with 2 ml of ice-cold isotonic saline (0Á9% NaCl). Residual RBCs were haemolysed with ice-cold hypotonic saline (0Á2% NaCl) for 2 min, followed by the addition of 2 ml of ice-cold hypertonic saline (1Á6% NaCl) for 2 min to restore isotonicity [13, 17] . Subsequently, the supernatant was removed and the adherent macrophage cells were detached by trypsin. Before and after trypsinization, THP cells were checked microscopically for remaining RBCs or detritus THP cells were diluted with 500 µl PBS (1 x 10 6 cells/ml) and kept on ice until analysis by flow cytometry (MACSQuant â Flow Cytometer, Miltenyi Biotech). At least 10 000 events were collected for each sample. Data were analysed using the FlowJo â software (FlowJo LLC, Ashland, OR, USA). The mean fluorescence and percentage of cells that were strongly positively stained for PKH26-redlabelled RBCs compared with control group were calculated. Controls using RBCs from two or three healthy blood donors with no selection of age, sex or blood group were included in each experiment.

After a 10-min trypsinization period (GibcoTM TrypLE Express), PMA-treated THP-1 cells were resuspended in cell culture medium. PMA-treated and non-treated THP-1 cells (0Á5 9 10 6 ) were diluted in 200 ll PBS and stained with 10 µl of the fluorescent labelled anti-human CD11b / MAC-1 (FITC) or anti-human HLA-DR (APC) antibodies (both from BD Biosciences Pharmingen TM). Cells were subsequently analysed by flow cytometry [16] with MACSQuant â Flow Cytometer (Miltenyi Biotech, Bergisch Gladbac, Germany).

Flow detection technology is a multi-parameter, rapid quantitative analysis and sorting technique for cells and biological particles in rapid linear flow. An analogue and BuIA were accurately measured. Sample solutions with a concentration of 100 nM were prepared using serum-free DMEM medium and using the DRG neuron cells as a culture object. After 4 h, the cells were rinsed with PBS several times, and 500 μL of Fluo-4 AM calcium ion fluorescent dye and 1 μg/mL of calcium ionomycin were added to each hole. Then, the cells were incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Two independent validations were performed for flow cytometer analysis, then the samples were detected by a MACSQuant flow cytometer (Miltenyi Biotec, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany) and FlowJo 7.6 (FlowJo LLC, Ashland, AL, USA) was used to analyze the data.

M-CDs or sM-CDs dissolved in RPMI were titrated in 96-U-bottom well plates. Jurkat cells (104/well) were added to the MLNCs and incubated for 24 h. Wells containing medium without MLNCs were used as control. Before the analysis, cells were washed once with saline, and the fluorescence response of cells and the toxicity of M-CDs and sM-CDs were analyzed by a MACSQuant flow cytometer (Miltenyi, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany).

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.
