To determine DNA damage, immunofluorescence was performed with vehicle and CB-treated cells using 53BP1 rabbit antibody (#A300-272AT, Bethyl Laboratories). Breast cancer cells were grown on coverslips and treated vehicle or CB. The cells were then fixed with 4% cold paraformaldehyde followed by permeabilization and blocking using 5% normal goat serum in 0.1% Triton X-100 for 30 min at room temperature. The cells were then incubated with anti-53BP1 antibody (1:200 dilution; Bethyl Laboratories) and Phospho γ-H2AX (1:200 dilution; Ab2893) overnight followed by incubation with TRITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:500). The cells were counterstained with DAPI and observed under a fluorescence microscope15 (link), 40 (link).

Cells were lysed with NTEN buffer (20mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0, 100mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% Nonidet P-40) containing pepstatin A and aprotinin on ice for 30 minutes. Clear cell lysates were incubated with either protein A/G-agarose beads coupled with anti-53BP1 antibody (#A700–011, Bethyl) or streptavidin beads (#17511301, Fisher Scientific) for 3 hours at 4°C. Beads were then washed 4 times with NTEN buffer and boiled in 2xLaemmli buffer, and proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE. PVDF membranes were blocked in 5% milk in TBST buffer and then probed with antibodies as indicated.

Nonmalignant human mammary epithelial cells (MCF10A, ATCC) were cultivated in minimum essential medium (MEM, Invitrogen), supplemented with bovine pituitatry hormone (13 mg/mL), hydrocortisone (0.5 mg/mL), hEGF (10 µg/mL), insulin (5 mg/mL), and cholera toxin (100 ng/mL) (Invitrogen). Cell culture was performed in Permanox plastic 8-well Lab-Tek chamber slides (Nalge Nunc International Corporation) at 37C, with 95% humidity and 5% CO2. The cells were grown to a confluent layer prior to irradiation. After three washing steps with PBS, cells were blocked with 0.2% BSA for 15 min, incubated with the primary antibodies for 15 min, washed with PBS, and incubated with the secondary antibodies for 15 min. The primary antibodies were a rabbit polyclonal anti 53BP1 antibody (1:100 from 1 mg/mL, Bethyl Laboratories) and a mouse monoclonal to phosphohistone H2AX antibody (1:100 from 1 mg/mL, clone JBW301, Upstate Cell Signaling Solutions Inc.). The corresponding secondary antibodies were either FITC-labeled antirabbit IgGs, or T-Red-labeled antimouse IgGs (Molecular Probes Invitrogen). After a further washing step with PBS, the cells were counterstained with DAPI. All steps were performed at room temperature.

TK6 cells (0.5 million/ml) were exposed to IPMS (750μM) for 24 hours. Cells were then fixed using 2% formaldehyde / PBS for 20 min, washed in PBS, and spotted on to double frosted microscopic glass slides (Fisher Scientific) at a concentration of 2 million/ml. Blocking was achieved using 5% (w/v) bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS-TT for 30 min. Cells were then incubated with 1:500 rabbit polyclonal anti-53BP1 antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX) and mouse γH2AX antibody (Millipore Corporation, CA, USA) in 1% BSA/PBS-TT for overnight at 4oC. Cells were then washed in PBS, incubated in 1:250 anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 555 (Life Technologies) and Alexa Fluor 488 antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA) for 1h. After washing with PBS, slides were mounted with a cover slip using Vectashield with DAPI (Vector Laboratories) and sealed using nail polish. Slides were analyzed using confocal microscopy (Zeiss CLSM 700). Optical sections through the nuclei were captured at 0.5 μm intervals, and the images were obtained by maximum projection of the individual sections.

Quantifying DNA Double-Strand Breaks

To estimate the induction of DNA double-strand breaks immediately after irradiation, cells on 22 × 22 mm cover slips in 35 mm dishes were irradiated with 1 Gy of γ-rays. At 0.5, 2 or 24 h after irradiation, the cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (Wako) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Then, the cells were permeabilized for 10 min in 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS and washed with PBS. The cover slips were incubated with anti-53BP1 antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, TX, USA) in Tris-buffered saline supplemented with 5% skim milk (TBS-DT) for 2 h at 37°C. The primary antibody was washed with PBS, and an Alexa Fluor 594–labeled anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (Invitrogen Ltd, California, USA) and 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Invitrogen) were added. The cover slips were incubated for 1 h at 37°C and washed with PBS. Then, the cover slips were sealed onto glass slides with 0.03 ml PBS containing 10% glycerol (Wako). The cells were observed using a fluorescence microscope. The numbers of 53BP1 foci were counted on digitized images using Image J software.

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.
