Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A mouse corneal keratocyte cell line was transfected with agomir-122 (20 μM), antagomir-122 (20 μM), or a plasmid carrying CPEB1 cDNA. Alternatively, cells were transfected with a plasmid carrying CPEB1 cDNA with wild-type or miR-122-binding site-mutated 3′-UTR. The cells were then treated with or without a mixed cytokine cocktail containing 100 ng/ml TNF-α, IL-1β and TNF-γ (Peprotech, Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). After 48 h, the cells were stained with annexin V (Keygen Biotech, Nanjing, China) per the manufacturer’s instructions, and the percentage of apoptotic cells (annexin V+) was determined by flow cytometry.

Apoptosis Analysis of NPMSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following compression for 48 h, the control and treated NPMSCs underwent trypsinization and centrifugation and were washed with ice-cold PBS and resuspended in 500 μl of 1x binding buffer. 5 μl propidium iodide (PI) and 5 μl Annexin-V (Nanjing Keygen Biotech, Nanjing, China) were then added, and cells were incubated in the dark at room temperature for 15 min. The Annexin and PI double-positive percentage (indicating late apoptosis cells) was measured using flow cytometry (BD LSRII, Becton Dickinson). In addition, NPMSCs were seeded in 6-well culture plates and treated as described above. For each group, cells were rinsed in PBS three times and incubated for 5 min in the dark at room temperature in 5 μmol/l Annexin-V and 5 μmol/l PI. The stained cells were then imaged under a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSM, Zeiss, Germany).
The activity of caspase-3 was measured using a Caspase-3 Activity Detection Kit (Beyotime, China). Briefly, after treatment, both the attached and the floated NPMSCs were totally collected. Next, the supernatant samples were used to evaluate the caspase-3 activity strictly according to the manufacturer's protocols. Finally, caspase-3 activity normalized and the total protein in each group was detected by evaluating the optical density at a wavelength of 405 nm.

Annexin V Staining of Podocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Podocytes from different groups were quantified by annexin V staining according to the manufacturer’s instructions (KeyGEN Biotech, Jiangsu, China). Podocytes were harvested and washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The cells were resuspended in 100 μl of ice-cold binding buffer and incubated with 5 μl of annexin V (conjugated with FITC) for 15 min in the dark. After resuspension in 400 μl of binding buffer, the cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope (Olympus, BX53, Tokyo, Japan).

Apoptosis and Cell Cycle Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were cultured and exposed to the tested compounds for 24 h. For apoptosis analysis, cells were harvested and washed once with PBS and then resuspended and incubated in propidium iodide (PI)/Annexin V solution (KeyGen Biotech). At least 10,000 live cells were analyzed on a flow cytometer (BD Accuri™ C6; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). For cell cycle analysis, cells were harvested and fixed in 75% cold ethanol at −20°C overnight. Cells were then resuspended and incubated in PI solution. DNA content was determined using a flow cytometer.

Annexin V-PI Apoptosis Assay in C2C12 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of 1 × 106 C2C12 cells of each group were collected and washed twice using the incubation buffer containing 10 mmol/L HEPES/NaOH (pH 7.4), 140 mmol/L NaCl, and 5 mmol/L CaCl2 [22 (link)]. Next, C2C12 cells were resuspended in 150 μL of phosphate-buffered solution (PBS) including 1.5 μg/mL Annexin V (KeyGen, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China) and propidium iodide (PI) (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Then, the cells were incubated with Annexin V and PI in dark at room temperature (RT) for 15 min. After washing with PBS, C2C12 cells were resuspended again in 400 μL incubation buffer and analyzed using flow cytometry (BD FACSCalibur, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA).

Quantifying Apoptosis with Annexin V

Cells were digested with trypsin containing no EDTA and centrifuged for 5 min at 2000 r/min before washing twice with pre-cooled PBS. Cells were collected by centrifugation, and 1 × 10 6 cells were transferred into Eppendorf (EP) tubes. Into each EP tube, 500-µL binding buffer, 5-µL propidium iodide (PI), and 5-µL Annexin V (Jiangsu KeyGEN BioTECH Corp., China) were added. After adding staining material, the EP tube was incubated for 10-15 min away from light. Cell suspension was filtered with 400-mesh cell strainer to remove cell masses and placed on ice. Within 30 min, flow cytometry detection was conducted to analyze cell apoptosis. The experiment was repeated three times.

Apoptosis in transfected cells was analyzed by flow cytometry using a Becton Dickinson LSR flow cytometer with CellQuest software (BD Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA). We used 300 nM H2O2 for 24 h to induce apoptosis after transfection for 48 h, and then cells were collected and resuspended in 500 μL of binding buffer of every tube. Next, 5 μL of annexin V and 5 μL of propidium iodide (Keygen Biotech, Nanjing, China) were added to every tube for 15 min in the dark simultaneously or separately (as the control to debug the machine) and then analyzed to identify the late apoptotic cells, early apoptotic cells, and viable cells, and the proportion of apoptotic cells was calculated.

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.
