The cells were plated in 6-well plates at approximately 30% confluence. After pretreatment, the medium was removed, and the cells were washed once with PBS. Then, 1 mL of β-galactosidase staining fixative was added, and the cells were fixed at room temperature for 15 min. The cells were then washed three times with PBS, the mixture was added according to the instructions of the β-galactosidase staining kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China), and the cells were incubated in the absence of carbon dioxide overnight at 37°C. Finally, images were obtained under an inverted fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

The senescent cells were identified with a β‐galactosidase Staining Kit (Beyotime), which uses X‐gal as the substrate and produces dark blue products under the catalysis of aging‐specific β‐galactosidase. Blue cells expressing β‐galactosidase can easily be observed under a light microscope. The cells were stained with β‐galactosidase, fixed at room temperature for 10 min and washed with 0.01 M PBS (Beyotime) three times for 5 min each. Then, a working dye solution comprising a mixture of β‐galactosidase staining solution A (10 μl), β‐galactosidase staining solution B (10 μl), β‐galactosidase staining solution C (930 μl), and X‐gal (50 μl) was added, and the mixture was incubated at 37°C for 4 h. The samples were observed, photographed and counted under an ordinary optical microscope. If photos were not taken sufficiently quickly, the dye solution was discarded, an equivalent volume of PBS was added, and the cells were stored at 4°C for several days. The proportion of positive cells was determined as the number of β‐galactosidase positive cells in 10 fields divided by the total number of cells and was compared through statistical analysis between groups.

Senescence Induction in Endothelial Progenitor Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Long-term culture was used to establish the senescent model of EPCs. In brief, EPCs were cultured in 6-well plate not coated (vehicle group) or coated with biomaterial membranes (HA-Col I, HA-Col I, CS-Col I, or CS-Col I) for 4 days. After that, β-Galactosidase Staining Kit (Beyotime, China) was used to analyze the senescent EPCs. In brief, after washing with PBS, EPCs grown on 6-well plate not coated (vehicle group) or coated with biomaterial membranes (HA-Col I, HA-Col I, CS-Col I, or CS-Col I) were treated with 2% formaldehyde and 0.2% glutaraldehyde in PBS for 6 min and then incubated with fresh X-gal staining solution (1 mg/mL X-gal, 5 mmol/L potassium ferrocyanide, 5 mmol/L potassium ferricyanide, and 2 mmol/L MgCl2; pH 6) for 12 h at 37°C without CO2. After staining, blue-stained cells and total cells were counted at 3 different microscopic fields. The percentage of β-galactosidase positive cells was calculated.

Senescence β-Galactosidase (SA- β-Gal) activity was evaluated with a β-galactosidase staining kit from Beyotime (#C0602). For the tissue staining, equilibrate the frozen tissue to room temperature. Rinse the tissue with PBS 3 times for 5 min each time. Add an appropriate amount of β-galactosidase Staining Fixative to fully cover the tissue and incubate at room temperature for 15 min. And then rinse the tissue with PBS 3 times for 5 min each time. Remove the PBS, add an appropriate amount of staining working solution. Incubate overnight at 37℃, and the nest day, examine by a light microscope.

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.
