THP-1 cells were seeded at a density of 10.000 c/w in 24-well plates (Sarstedt, Nürnbrecht, Germany). Cells were treated with BTZ and/or HDACI for the indicated time. Supernatant was removed after a centrifugation step and the cells were lysed in 500 µL hypotonic lysis buffer (0.1% TritonX-100, 100 µg/mL Propidium iodide) at 4 °C in the dark overnight. Triton X-100 was obtained from AppliChem (Darmstadt, Germany). Propidium iodide was delivered by Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Heidelberg, Germany). The percentage of apoptotic nuclei with DNA content in sub-G1 was analyzed by flow cytometry using the CyFlow instrument (Partec, Norderstedt, Germany).

Phospho-histone H3 Cell Cycle Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were harvested from a single well of a 6-well plate using trypsin and washed 1x in PBS before fixation with dropwise addition of ice-cold 70% ethanol. After fixation on ice (or storage at −20°C) cells were washed 1x in PBS and permeabilized in 0.25% Triton X-100/PBS solution on ice for 15 minutes. Cells were washed 1x in PBS and resuspended in 1% bovine serum albumin/PBS solution containing 1µl/sample of Phospho-histone H3 (Serine 10) antibody conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 (DC28, Cell Signaling). After washing 1x in PBS cells were resuspended in a solution of PBS containing 50µg/mL Propidium iodide (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and 100µg/mL RNAse A (Roche). Flow cytometry was performed on a FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences) and analysed using FlowJo software. Single cells and G1/S/G2 peaks were manually gated. The gates for phospho-H3 positive cells were chosen by comparison to a population in which the antibody was omitted during processing.

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.
