Edu cell proliferation kit

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The EdU Cell Proliferation Kit is a laboratory tool used to detect and quantify cell proliferation. It utilizes 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU), a thymidine analog, which is incorporated into the DNA of dividing cells during the S phase of the cell cycle. The kit provides a simple, efficient, and sensitive method for visualizing and analyzing cell proliferation in various experimental systems.

EdU Cell Proliferation kit (Cat#C10339, Invitrogen) was used to determine the cell proliferation. After starvation, HUVECs were cultured with EdU-labeling mixture (10 mM) under hypoxia for 12 h. Then cell proliferation was detected according to the manufacturer’s instruction. In summary, 4% paraformaldehyde was used to fix HUVECs, and 0.5% TritonX‐100 was used to permeabilized them. Subsequently, HUVECs were incubated with 1 × Click-iT EdU reaction mixture and stained with Hoechst 33342 for another 15 min. The cell proliferation rate was calculated as EdU-positive cells/total cells of each field.

Therapeutic Potential of EVs in Cardiac Repair

MI/R mice were randomized into three groups who received intravenous injection of PBS, EVs (100 μg EVs per mouse), or P-EVs (containing 100 μg EVs per mouse) after reperfusion every 7 days for up to 4 weeks. At treatment day 7, EdU (50 mg/kg, Beyotime) was injected via the tail vein before the heart was harvested to label proliferating cells. Proliferation was measured using EdU Cell Proliferation Kit (Invitrogen, C10339). The heart sections were also stained using One Step TUNEL Apoptosis Assay Kit (C1090, Beyotime) to detect cell apoptosis. All cryostat sections were double-stained with anti-CD31 antibody to count CD31/EdU or CD31/TUNEL double-positive cells. qRT-PCR was performed to detect the expression of angiogenesis-related genes in the hearts of mice at treatment day 7. The primers used in this assay are listed in Table S2. At treatment day 28, the hearts were harvested and cut into 6 μm cryosections. Angiogenesis was evaluated by staining sections with rat monoclonal anti-CD31 antibody and rabbit monoclonal anti-α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) antibody (ab32575, Abcam). Cardiac cells were identified by staining sections with rabbit polyclonal anti-cTnT antibody.

One microliter of EdU (5μM) was injected intravitreally into mice pups at P3 and P7 using the femtoJet microinjection system. EdU signals were detected on retinal cryosections using the EdU Cell Proliferation Kit (Invitrogen, C10340). Briefly, retinal slides were washed with 3% BSA in 1xPBS for 5 min and then incubated with Click-it reacting cocktail solutions for 30 min at room temperature, protected from light. After removing the reaction cocktail, slides were washed with 3% BSA in 1x PBS and proceeded to antibody staining.

To evaluate cell proliferation, three distinct assays were employed: the colony formation assay, the 5‐ethynyl‐2′‐deoxyuridine (EdU) Cell Proliferation Kit (Invitrogen), and the Cell Counting Kit‐8 (CCK‐8, APExBIO) assay. For conducting the CCK‐8 assay, 4000 cells per well were seeded onto 96‐well plates and thereafter cultivated for a period of 24 h. Subsequently, 10 μL of CCK‐8 reagent was added to each well at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h, and the plate was left to incubate for 2 h in a 37°C incubator. Then, the absorbance at 450 nm was quantified through a microplate reader. For the EdU assay, NSCLC cells were seeded into 6‐well culture plates and analyzed based on the kit instructions. For the colony formation assay, cells in different groups were taken for digestion, blown repeatedly to form a single cell, and prepared into a cell suspension. Then, 200 cells per well were added to a 6‐well plate and placed in an incubator. After culturing for 2 weeks, formaldehyde was added for fixation and then stained with 0.1% crystal violet.

Cell proliferation was measured using the cck-8 kit (MCE, USA) and the EdU Cell Proliferation kit with an Alexa Fluor 596 Imaging kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) following the manufacturer's instructions. In brief, normal hRECs or hRECs at an initial density of 5 × 103 cells/well, cocultured with 100 μg/mL MH-exo or PDR-exo, were seeded into 96-well plates and transfected with various oligonucleotides for 48 h. The cell proliferation was evaluated by 450 nm absorbance values at 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 h thereafter using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay plate reader. Data are presented as mean ± SD of five replicates. Regarding the EdU assay, 100 μL 50 μM EdU medium was added into each well and incubated for 2 h in 37°C. The cells were then washed twice using PBS for 10 min, fixed in 4% PFA for 15 min, neutralized with 2 mg/mL glycine, and washed with PBS before permeabilizing with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 10 min. Finally, the hRECs were labeled using 100 μL Apollo-596 staining agent and washed in 0.5% Triton X-100 three times. EdU assay was performed three times independently and a total of three randomly selected fields were imaged in each condition using a confocal fluorescence microscope (MIC00223 LSM5 Live). The percentage of EdU-positive cells (labeled red) was calculated and analyzed using ImageJ 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.
