Measuring Spindle Orientation in U2OS Cells

U2OS cells were seeded at 3,000 cells per well in 96‐well plates with L‐shaped micropatterns (CYTOO) at a density of 15,000 cells/ml. Prior to seeding, plates were coated with 20 μg/ml fibronectin (Sigma) for 2 h at RT. Following seeding, cells were imaged every 5 or 10 min for up to 24 h at 37°C in a 5% CO2 environmental chamber using an ImageXpress Micro High Content Screening System (Molecular Devices Inc.). To measure spindle orientation in subconfluent cultures, cells were seeded at 50% confluency, grown overnight and imaged as previously described 60. Spindle angles were measured using a vector drawn through the division axis at anaphase bisecting a vector drawn through the cell's long axis determined prior to prophase.

LMSCs were plated at a density of 1.5 × 103 cells/cm2 in 96-well Black Flat Bottom Polystyrene Microplates. After 24 h, the cells were pre-treated for 3 h with 20 µM Z-VAD-FMK (BioVision, Milpitas, CA, USA), 10 mM 3-methyladenine (BioVision), or 100 µM necrostatin-1 (ABCAM, Cambridge, UK), or for 4 h with 4 mM N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC; Eurofarma, SP, Brazil). The media was then changed and 7-KC added at different concentrations for 24 h. LMSCs without pre-treatment were used as controls. Cells were then incubated with 0.1 µg/mL Hoechst 33342 (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) and 0.5 μL propidium iodide (PI) (Molecular Probes) for 15 min. The ImageXpress Micro High Content Screening System (Molecular Devices) was used to determine the number of live and dead cells. Nine sites per well and three wells per treatment were acquired.

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.
