Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For annexin V-PI assays, cells were stained with annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and PI and evaluated for apoptosis/necrosis by flow cytometry according to the manufacturer’s protocol (BD Bioscience). H2O2 was diluted in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), added to the medium at 200 μM, and immediately added to the cells for a 90-min treatment. The cells were then washed in PBS, and fresh medium was added. After 8 h, the cells were trypsinized and recombined with cells floating in the medium. The collected cells were washed with cold PBS, stained with annexin V-FITC and PI in binding buffer for 15 min at room temperature in the dark, and analyzed using Canto II (Becton, Dickinson Biosciences). Cell populations were determined using FlowJo software (Tree Star Software, San Carlos, CA). The quadrants were chosen using unstained and single-stained control samples.
To quantify the level of reactive oxygen species, cells were washed briefly with warm PBS and incubated with 5 μM 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) (Invitrogen; C400) in PBS for 20 min. The cells were then quickly washed and allowed 20 min of recovery in MEM supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were harvested with trypsin, resuspended in 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS, and analyzed using Canto II (Becton, Dickinson Biosciences). Cell populations were determined using FlowJo software.

Then the cells were washed with cold PBS three times and incubated with PE-labeled goat anti-mouse IgM secondary antibody (BD, 562033) for 1 hour at 4°C. After washing with PBS three times, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometry (Canto II, BD Bioscience).

Isolated neutrophils were suspended in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) 1X culture medium (5 × 105 cells/ml) in the presence of serum (4%) and antibiotics (100 U penicillin/ml and 50 ng streptomycin/ml). The microplate (Microtest III-Falcon) was incubated for 2 h at 37 °C, with a constant flow of 5% CO2 (Nuarie™ US Autoflow), in the presence of LPS (10 μM), BPA (16 nM or 1.6 μM), or E2 (100 pM). Then, the plate was centrifuged, and after washing and suspending in PBS, the neutrophils were assessed for the expression of CD14 and CD284.
The expression of cluster of differentiation (CD) antigens on the cells was determined by the direct fluorescence method using Canto II flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson) and monoclonal antibodies (Becton Dickinson). Briefly, 20 μl/5 μl of anti-CD14/anti-CD284 monoclonal antibodies, respectively, was added to 50 μl of the neutrophils suspended in PBS. After 30 min of incubation in the dark, the cells were resuspended in PBS and analyzed for 30 min using the FASCSDiva software. Simultaneously, an isotypic sample was prepared which was used for analyzing the obtained results.

ESC lines carrying a tetracycline-regulatable TF were derived from MC1 (129.3) cell line, which was obtained from the expanded frozen stock at Johns Hopkins University, as described previously2 3 (link). ESCs of passage 25 were cultured in the standard LIF+ medium with added Dox+ on a gelatin-coated dish through the experiments. Cells from each cell line were split into six wells and the media was changed 24 hours after cell plating: three wells with Dox+ medium, and three wells with Dox− medium to induce transgenic TFs. Dox was removed via washing three times with PBS at three-hour intervals. The proportion of Venus-p;ositive cells was evaluated by FACS (Canto II, Becton Dickinson). Total RNA was isolated by TRIzol (Invitrogen) after 48 hours, and two replications were used for microarray hybridization. RNA samples were labeled with total RNA by Low RNA Input Fluorescent Linear Amplification Kit (Agilent). We hybridized Cy3-CTP labeled sample from Dox− medium together with Cy5-CTP labeled sample from Dox+ medium (i.e., control) to the NIA Mouse 44K Microarray v3.0 (Agilent, design ID 015087)28 (link). Slides were scanned with Agilent DNA Microarray Scanner. All DNA Microarray data are available in Table S2, at GEO/NCBI (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo; GSE72350), and at NIA Array Analysis, http://lgsun.grc.nia.nih.gov/ANOVA29 (link).

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.
