Cell cycle and cell apoptosis analysis was carried out by flow cytometry. Cells (5×105/well) were seeded in 6-well cell culture plates and incubated in a humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 37°C. Twenty-four hours later, cells were harvested with 0.5% trypsin and centrifuged. For cell cycle analysis, cells were fixed in ice-cold 70% ethanol overnight at 4°C. After being washed thrice with cold PBS, cells were resuspended in 500 µl of PBS, and 10 µl RNAseA was added for 5 min. Subsequently, 10 µl PI was added into the cell resuspension solution, and incubated for 30 min at 4°C. The cells were finally washed twice with PBS before analysis. Apoptotic analysis was performed using the Hoechst 33342/PI Apoptosis assay kit (BestBio, Shanghai, China). The samples were washed twice with ice-cold PBS and resuspended in 500 µl staining buffer, and then incubated with 5 µl of Hoechst 33342 and 5 µl of PI in the dark for 20 min at 4°C. The cells were finally washed twice with PBS before analysis.

The fluorescent dye Fura-2 AM (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China) penetrates the cell membrane and binds calcium ions to produce strong fluorescence under 330–350 nm excitation light and weak fluorescence under 380 nm excitation light. The ratio of 340 and 380 nm fluorescence is routinely used to evaluate the intracellular calcium concentration. Fura-2 staining was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions in the present study. Afterward, the cells were washed twice and resuspended in PBS for fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis (Beckman Coulter). The Ca2+ concentration data were analyzed using Summit v5.2 software (Beckman Coulter).

A total of 1 µl Fluorescein-2 AM Ca2+ fluorescent probe from a Ca2+ analysis kit (S1056; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) was added to each tube of the sample to be tested. Subsequently, 1 µl dimethyl sulfoxide solution was added into the cell suspension of the control group, and then the tube was inverted and mixed thoroughly every 3-5 min to allow full contact between the cells and the Ca2+ fluorescence probe. The cells were then washed 2-3 times with 1X PBS and the cells were resuspended by adding 500 µl 1X PBS. The Ca2+ concentration was detected with a flow cytometer (Beckman Coulter, Inc.). The data were analyzed with Summit v5.2 Software (Beckman Coulter, Inc.).

Finally, the cells were washed twice with PBS before flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle distribution. For flow cytometric detection of apoptotic cells, the Hoechst 33342/PI Apoptosis Assay Kit (BestBio, Shanghai, China) was used. Briefly, the harvested cells were washed twice with ice-cold PBS and resuspended in 500 μl staining buffer. Then, the resuspended cell solution was incubated with 5 μl Hoechst 33342 and 5 μl PI solution in darkness for 20 min at 4°C. Finally, the cells were washed twice with PBS before flow cytometric analysis of cell apoptosis. All flow cytometric analyses were performed using a MoFloTM XDP High-Performance Cell Sorter (Beckman Coulter).

After about 10 h of cultivation, the libraries were transferred into fresh M9 medium with 2 g/L glucose and induced by adding 5 μg/L tetracycline and 1 μΜ IPTG for another 6 h of cultivation. Then 500 mM methanol was added as a substrate, and the culture was incubated for another 40 min. To avoid evaporation of methanol, the 96-well plates and shake flasks were covered with a sealing membrane. For screening positive clones, the culture was diluted by 20-fold using M9 medium and subjected to FACS analysis, which was performed using a Beckman Coulter MoFlo XDP. Green fluorescence was measured using the 488 nm laser and 525 nm filter. Cells were gated based on FSC-H and SSC-H, and 10,000 events falling into this window were recorded. The positive clones in the mutation libraries, which had relatively high fluorescence signals (about the top 0.01%), were collected onto LB plates, and then cultured at 37 °C for 12 h. All the data were analyzed using Beckman Summit v5.2 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.
