The apoptosis assay was carried out using the Annexin V FITC-Apoptosis Detection Kit (eBioscience™, San Diego, California, USA). Briefly, EA.hy926 and 3LL cell lines were seeded onto 24-well plates at densities of 500,000 cells/well and 200,000 cells/well, respectively. After incubation for 24 h at 37 °C, under 5% CO2, the cells were exposed to 50 μM of Fisetin NCs, 50 μM of free Fisetin, DMSO, and P407 for 24 h, respectively. Untreated cells were grown as negative control groups. The supernatant was removed and then harvested with 250 μL/well of Trypsin-EDTA (0.05%), followed by centrifugation at 2000 rpm for 5 min. Annexin V-FITC and Propidium Iodide (were equally mixed v:v into the binding buffer (Apoptosis Detection Kit, eBioscience™, San Diego, California, USA) and kept in the dark for further use. All the samples were incubated with 110 μL of the above mixture for 15 min and the reactions were stopped by adding 300 μL of binding buffer.

Flow cytometry analysis of the LDLR expressed on the cell surface was conducted as previously described [41] (link), with slight modification. Following incubation with opti-MEM for 12 h, HepG2 cells were treated with 20 μg/ml hPCSK9 alone or co-treated with 20 μg/ml anti-PCSK9 mAbs for 12 h. Then, the cells were digested with trypsin, detached by scraping and washed with PBS and collected in a 1.5 ml tube, then fixed in 200 μl of 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde in PBS for 5 min at room temperature. Cells were incubated with 200 μl of 0.1% Tween in PBS (PBS-T) and blocked with 10% goat serum in 0.3 M glycine in PBS for 30 min, then incubated with rabbit anti-LDLR monoclonal antibody (Cat# ab52818, 1:100) for 30 min at room temperature, and followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Cat# D110061, 1:200) for 30 min at room temperature. After washing, the detection was performed directly on a Guava EasyCyte™ Flow Cytometry (Merck Millipore, Germany) at an excitation wavelength of 488 nm and an emission wavelength of 525 nm. The levels of LDLR on the cell surface were analyzed by using FlowJo software 7.6 (FlowJo, Oregon, USA) with 10,000 cells.

In vitro expression of the GFP was measured and photographed at the magnification of ×20 using a fluorescence microscope (Zeiss, Germany), 24 and 48 h post-transfection. Quantification of the green fluorescence was assessed by flow cytometry. The cells were washed in PBS, dissociated with 200 µl of 0.25% trypsin and re-suspended in a total volume of 1 ml following the addition of 800 µl PBS containing 10% FBS. The cells were used immediately subjected to the Guava easyCyte™ Flow Cytometry (Merck Millipore, Germany).

Quantifying Hydrogen Peroxide Using DCFH-DA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the fluorescent probe 2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) was utilized, which is a commonly employed method for quantifying hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The oxidation-insensitive DCF was used as a control to ensure that changes in uptake, ester cleavage, and efflux of the probe had not occurred. There was no significant alteration in the fluorescence of cells labeled with the oxidation-insensitive probe. A2780 cells were plated in 60 mm culture dishes with 2 mL of RPMI medium at a density of 1.0 × 105 cells/mL per dish. Following a 24 h incubation period, the cells were harvested through centrifugation after being treated with SMM extracts at specific time intervals. Subsequently, the cells were resuspended in PBS and stained with 20 μM DCFH-DA. The fluorescence intensity was then assessed using Guava® easyCyte flow cytometry (Millipore).

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.
