Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) and sample processing was carried out as described previously [70 (link)]. MFC analyses were performed using FC500 or Navios flow cytometers (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL, USA). List mode files were analyzed using CXP Software version 2.0 and Kaluza version 1.0 (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA). Diagnoses were assigned according to EGIL and WHO classifications [10 ,71 (link)]. Single cell suspensions of transduced c-Kit+ cells were prepared as described elsewehere [15 (link)]. Dead cells were excluded by gating on 7AAD (Miltenyi Biotec)-negative cells. Flow cytometry analysis were performed on an LSR Fortessa cell analyser (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and data were analysed with FlowJo software v 10 (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA).

The expression of cell-associated surface markers was measured by flow cytometric analysis. In brief, ADSCs of P5 were collected by standard trypsin digestion, and the cells were fixed and permeabilized in 70% (v/v) ice-cold ethanol for 12 h. The samples were blocked with 10% (v/v) goat serum for 30 min at room temperature and were incubated in 1% BSA containing rabbit anti-chicken polyclonal antibodies to CD29, CD44, CD71 and CD73 (all at 1:100 dilution) for 1 h at room temperature. Primary antibody was replaced with PBS for the negative control. Subsequently, the samples were washed with PBS and incubated in PBS containing FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG as the secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. After washing with PBS, the labeled cells were detected with a flow cytometer. Flow cytometric data were analyzed using CXP software version 2.0 (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).

RAW264.7 cells (1×106/well) were synchronized in G1 phase by serum deprivation, and different concentrations of BM (25, 50 and 100 μg/ml) and 1 μg/ml LPS were then added. Cells were harvested after 48 h. Propidium iodide (PI)-stained single-cell suspension was analyzed on a FC5000 cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) using CXP software version 2.0 (Beckman Coulter, Fullerton, CA, USA) for data analysis. The experiment was repeated three times. For apoptosis analysis, following BM treatment (25, 50 and 100 μg/ml) for 48 h, cells were stained with Annexin V and PI (Clontech Laboratories, Inc., Mountainview, CA, USA) for 15 min at room temperature. The apoptotic index was determined by flow cytometry with Flowjo software. 2′7′-Dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) was used to measure ROS formation. After exposure to different concentrations of BM (25, 50 and 100 μg/ml) for 48 h, the cells were then incubated in DCFH-DA-containing medium (final concentration, 10 μM) at 37°C for 20 min. The cells were washed with PBS three times to remove DCFH-DA that had not entered into the cells. The intracellular concentration of DCFH-DA was then measured by flow cytometry.

Samples were washed once in PBS and resuspended in DNA staining solution (propidium iodide, 5 µg/ml; RNase A, 0.5 mg/ml; PBS) and incubated at 37°C in the dark for 30 min. All samples were assessed using a Cytomics FC500 Flow Cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Inc.) and analyzed using CXP Software version 2.3 (Beckman Coulter, Inc.).

CaSki and C33A cells were seeded into 6-well plates at a density of 1 × 106 cells per well and exposed to 10 mM metformin with or without 20 μM everolimus for 48 h. Cells were then collected and fixed with 70% ice-cold ethanol at −20 °C overnight. After fixation, cells were centrifuged at 400× g for 10 min at 4 °C, washed with cold PBS, and stained with 0.5 mL PI/RNases staining buffer (PI, 10 μg/mL; RNases, 300 μg/mL; #550825, BD Pharmingen; BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) for 15 min at room temperature in the dark. Cell apoptosis was detected using an FITC Annexin V apoptosis detection kit (#556547, BD Biosciences); cells were double-stained with 5 μL FITC Annexin V (20 μg/mL) and 5 μL propidium iodide (PI, 50 μg/mL) for 15 min at RT in the dark. Finally, the stained cells were analyzed using FC500 flow cytometry and CXP software (version 2.3; Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA), and early and late apoptotic or necrotic cells were assessed.

CD4+ and CD8+ cells were quantified by flow cytometry (Cytomics FC500; Beckman Coulter, Inc.) with CXP Software (version 2.3; Beckman Coulter, Inc.). The viral load was determined in plasma using Arthus® HI Virus-1 QS-RGQ kit (Qiagen Inc.), QIAsymphony® SP/AS sample extraction (Qiagen Inc.) and preparation apparatus and Rotor-Gene Q® real-time PCR machine (Qiagen Inc.). Conditions: reverse transcription of the RNA was done for 30 min at 50°C; initial activation of the hot-start enzyme was for 15 min at 95°C; amplification of the cDNA (denaturation: 95°C for 30s, annealing: 50°C for 60s and elongation; 62°C for 30s) for 50 cycles. Genotyping and miRNA analysis were performed for 1–2 days and 12–36 months following plasma extraction, respectively.

Cells were stained for surface antigens CD33 PE/Cy5 and CD45 PE/Cy7 (clones WM33 and HI30, respectively, both from BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with saponin (Beckman Coulter, Immunotech, Marseille, France), and incubated with phycoerythrin (PE)—conjugated anti-HSP90a monoclonal antibodies (Enzo Life Sciences, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) at a 1:10 (v/v) dilution. Flow cytometric analysis was performed (a) within 1 h of blood sampling (subjunctive’s baseline) and (b) 4 h after induction on an FC-500 instrument (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL, USA) using CXP software version 2.2 (Beckman Coulter, Miami, FL, USA). Identification of PBMCs was achieved by the expression of CD45 compared to sideward scattering. Monocyte (CD33 ++ CD45 + SS med) and lymphocyte (CD33 CD45 ++ SS low) populations were further identified based on CD33 and CD45 expression intensity. HSP90 intracellular expression was assessed in each cell type using mean fluorescence intensity (MFI). We performed instrumental quality control routinely to adjust acquisition settings to any photomultiplier (PMT) voltage alterations.

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.
