Senescence β galactosidase cell staining kit

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

The Senescence β-galactosidase cell staining kit is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify senescent cells. The kit utilizes the increased lysosomal β-galactosidase activity at suboptimal pH, a biomarker associated with cellular senescence, to stain and identify these cells.

Before starting the staining procedure, 1 × 105 cells were seeded in 6-well plates. At 24 h after seeding, each plate was treated at concentrations of 1000 µM for aspirin, 100 µM for clopidogrel, 100 µM for prasugrel, and 20 µM for ticagrelor for 0, 24, 48, and 72 h. Cell senescence was detected using a Senescence β-Galactosidase cell staining kit (Cat #9860, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, the cell media was removed, washed with PBS, and then fixed with a fixative solution at room temperature for 10–15 minutes. Then, it was washed twice with PBS, β-Galactosidase staining solution prepared in advance was added, and it was incubated overnight at 37 °C without CO2. Blue color was observed under a microscope at × 200 magnification.

Quantifying Senescence in MSC Cultures

To evaluate the senescence of MSCs, β-galactosidase activity for BM-MSCs (passages 5, 8, and 11) and iPSC-MSCs (passages 5, 8, 11, 17, and 50) was detected using the senescence β-galactosidase cell staining kit (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA). In brief, cells were seeded in six-well plates and fixed for 10–15 min after cells reached 60–70% confluence. After washing, the cells were incubated with β-galactosidase staining solution at 37 °C for 16 h. Pictures for the positive staining of the blue color under an inverted microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) were then taken. The mean number of β-galactosidase-positive cells was calculated from three fields chosen at random. There were three replicates per condition.

Senescence Induction and β-Galactosidase Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TO and SH-TO cells treated with DOX (1 μg/ml) for 24 h and 96 h and left to recover until the seventh day were seeded at a concentration of 7,500 cells/well. A positive control consisted of cells treated with Bleocin™ (2.5 μg/ml) for 24 h and left to recover until the seventh day. In Bleocin™ experiments 50,000 cells/well were seeded. The Senescence β-Galactosidase Cell Staining Kit (Cell Signaling) was used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The cells were examined under a light microscope (Olympus IX71) and those cells with blue staining were considered positive for β-galactosidase activity. We estimated the percentage of β-galactosidase staining by analysing 5 individual fields per well from three replicates.

Flow SA-β-galactosidase assay was adopted from (24 (link)). In brief, subconfluent cells were first treated with 100 nM bafilomycin A1 (Sigma) for 1h in fresh DMEM plus 10% FBS and 1% antibiotics medium at 37°C, 5% CO2. A final concentration of 33 μM C12FDG (Setareh Biotech, LLC) was added to the medium for an extra 2 hr incubation. The cell monolayer was then washed twice with room temperature PBS and harvested by trypsinization followed by centrifugation at 200g for 10′ at 4 °C. Cells were resuspended in ice-cold PBS at a concentration of 1×106 cells/ml and run immediately on BDCalibar. Data was collected and analyzed using CellQuest following the instructions of manufactur’s manual. SA-β-galactosidase staining was performed following the protocol provided by Senescence β-galactosidase cell staining kit (Cell Signaling technology). Stained cells were maintained in appropriate amount of 70% glycerol and subjected to microscopy.

Cell senescence was determined using a Senescence-β-Galactosidase Cell Staining Kit (Cell Signaling Technology) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, we rinsed the plate with PBS and fixed cells in staining fixatives for 15 min at room temperature. Fixed cells were then washed twice with PBS and stained with fresh SA-β-gal staining solution overnight at 37°C. Cells that stained positive for SA-β-Gal were quantified and analyzed.

Senescence Assay for UCSCs and ADSCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the cell senescence, a senescence β-galactosidase cell staining kit (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) was used to assay the UCSCs and infant ADSCs. Cells at passages 6-7 were seeded at a density of 1 × 10 5 cells per 6-cm dish and cultured for 5 days at 37°Cand 5% CO 2 . The senescent cells were detected by staining in blue following the manufacturer's instructions. The stained cells were observed under a 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.
