Apoptosis Detection in Cell Lines

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The detection of apoptosis was carried out by concurrent staining with annexin V–FITC (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Walthan, MA, USA) and 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD) (Beckman Coulter, Marseille, France) following treatment of cell lines and oral keratinocytes by QMTs. Cisplatin was used as a positive control due to its known proapoptotic effects. The Fluorescence Minus One Control (FMO) was used to correct spectral overlap and as a staining control. At least 5000 events were acquired for each condition using the flow cytometer FACSARIA II (BD Biosciences) and FlowJo software (TreeStar, Ashland, OR, USA) was used for data analyses. Early apoptosis was identified in the cells stained only with Annexin-V, late apoptosis or necrosis was identified in the cells stained with both Annexin-V and 7-AAD and unlabeled cells were considered viable.

For the pulse-chase assay, cells were treated simultaneously with 20 μM BrdU (BD Biosciences) and 25 ng/ml illudin S for 1 h, and then incubated for the indicated periods without the drugs. For pulse-labeling assays, cells were treated with 25 ng/ml illudin S for 1 h, incubated without the drug for the indicated periods, and then treated with 20 μM BrdU for 1 h. Cells were harvested and fixed with 70% ethanol at −20°C. The fixed cells were treated with 2 N HCl supplemented with 0.5% Triton X-100. After washing twice with 0.1 M Na2B4O7 and once with dilution buffer (1% BSA and 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS), the cells were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488–conjugated anti-BrdU antibody (BioLegend). After treatment with 0.2 mg/ml RNase A, DNA was stained with 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD) (Beckman Coulter). Data were collected on an FC500 flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter) and analyzed using FlowJo software (BD Biosciences). Proportions of BrdU-positive cells were calculated by gating using FlowJo software.

Cells were plated for 24 h before induction of apoptosis. After treatment with or without 5-FU, CPT-11, CDDP, or MMC (10 μg/mL each), cells were detached with Accutase (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) and double-stained with annexin V–FITC (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA) and 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD; Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA), according to the manufacturer's protocol. Samples were immediately analyzed by FACSCalibur using CellQuest (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) and FlowJo software (Tree Star, Ashland, OR, USA). The apoptosis proportion was defined as the percentage of the annexin V–FITC-positive cells among total cells.

Annexin-V, Cell Cycle, and ROS Analysis

Flow cytometry was used for analysis of annexin-V assay and cell cycle and evaluation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Brie y, 1.0 10 5 cells were seeded into each well of a 12-well culture plate one day before being cultured for 48 hours under the indicated conditions. Cells were then washed with phosphate-buffered saline and harvested by trypsinization. For annexin-V assay, cells were subjected to annexin V and 7-amino-actinomycin D (7-AAD) double staining following the protocol of the assay kit's manufacturer (Beckman Coulter, Marseille, France). For cell cycle analysis, cells were resuspended in citrate buffer and stained with propidium iodide. For evaluation of cellular ROS production, cells were stained with dihydroethidium (DHE) (Cayman Chemical) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The cells were then analyzed using a ow cytometer and CellQuest Pro Software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Three independent tests were performed.

Flow cytometric analysis was used to characterize lymphocyte subsets in isolated PBMCs. In brief, frozen PBMC aliquots were quickly thawed and counted with a Neubauer chamber. Discrimination between live and dead cells was carried out prior to analysis with 7-aminoactinomycin D (7-AAD; Beckman Coulter). The following conjugated human antibodies were used: PerCP-anti-CD3 and PCy5-anti-CD3 as pan T-cell marker (Beckman Coulter, CA, USA), FITC-anti-CD4 for T-helper cells, FITC-anti-CD8 for cytotoxic T cells, APC-anti-CXCR3 and PE-anti-CCR4 for Th1 and Th2 cells, PE-anti-FOXP3 for Tregs, and APC-anti-CD19 for B cells. For porcine samples, the following antibodies were used: FITC-anti-CD1 for B cells and APC-anti-FOPX3 for Tregs (Beckton Dickinson, NJ, USA). Lymphocyte apoptosis was analyzed in fresh blood samples by dual selectivity with Annexin V and 7-AAD. In brief, the lymphocyte population was gated, and apoptosis was determined as the percentage of cells positive for Annexin V but negative for 7-ADD.
Samples were analyzed using a BD FACSVerse flow cytometer (standard 2-laser configuration, BD, USA), and a minimum of 10,000 events was acquired. FlowJo 8.7 software (TriStar, Oregon, USA) was used for the analysis of all the acquired data.

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.
