Cells were arranged at a density of 2.0 × 105 in a 60 mm dish for one tube of flow cytometry. MDA231 single culture or MDA231 cells with astrocyte culture supernatant (50% conditioned medium diluted by DMEM) were seeded at 2.0 × 105 cells/well in a 6-well plate. In the mixed seeding of MDA231 and the astrocyte group, cells were mixed in a 1:1 ratio to obtain a total of 4 × 105 cells/well. After 48 h of culture, the medium was removed and replaced with 120 µM CDDP medium. After an additional 48 h, the cells were trypsinized and washed with PBS. Cells were resuspended in Annexin V binding buffer (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) to 1 × 106 cells/mL. Cell fluid (100 µL) was taken and 5 µL of allophycocyanin (APC) -Annexin V (BioLegend) and 10 µL of propidium iodide (PI) (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were added, mixed gently, and incubated for another 15 min in the dark. Finally, 400 µL of Annexin V binding buffer was added. The cell fluid was passed through a mesh and transferred to a fluorescence-activated cell sorting tube for flow cytometry using BD FACS Canto IITM (BD Biosciences). For the early apoptotic marker, the Annexin V-positive population was detected, while the late apoptotic marker, PI-positive population, was detected. Finally, Annexin V-positive and PI-negative populations in each culture group were compared.

Quantifying Cellular Peptide Internalization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cellular internalization of FITC-labelled peptides was analyzed using flow cytometry. Cells were incubated in the presence of the peptides (5 µM each) in complete medium for 1 h. Cells were then washed three times in PBS and incubated with trypsin (1 mg/mL) for 10 min to remove the extracellular unbound peptides. Finally, cells were suspended in PBS and kept on ice. FITC fluorescence intensity of internalised peptides in live cells was measured by flow cytometry using BD FACS CANTO IITM by acquiring 1 × 104 cells. Data was obtained and analysed using FACSDivaTM (BD biosciences) and FowJo software (Treestar Inc., Ashland, Oregon, USA). In some experiments, cellular internalization was analysed using multimode spectrophotometry. Briefly, after incubation with the FITC-labelled peptides, cells were washed as described, centrifuged and the cell pellet resuspended in 300 µL of 0.1 M NaOH. Following 10 min incubation at room temperature, the cell lysate was centrifuged (14,000 × g for 5 min) and the fluorescence intensity of the supernatant determined (494/518 nm). The fluorescence of the cellular uptake is expressed as fluorescence intensity per mg of total cellular protein.

For immuno-phenotyping analyses by flow cytometry, isolated peritoneal cells were resuspended in cell staining buffer (Biolegend; 420201), incubated for ten minutes at 4 °C with Tru-Stain fcXTM (anti-mouse CD16/32) antibody (Biolegend; 101320) to prevent non-specific binding, and finally incubated with multiple combinations of fluorescent antibodies for 15 minutes at 4 °C (Table S1). Cells were collected on a BD FACSCantoIITM using the BD FACSDIVA Software. For each sample, a total of ten thousand cells were analysed. Data were further analysed using Flow-Jo®.

MSCs from both experimental groups were incubated with the MuseTMMulti-Color DNA Damage Kit (EDM Millipore Corporation) according to the
manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, 1X assay buffer was added to the cells,
which were fixed and permeabilized with fixation buffer and permeabilization
buffer, respectively. After washing, they were labeled with two antibodies
(20X anti-phospho-histone H2A.X-PECy5, 20X anti-phospho-ATM-PE) which
measures the phosphorylation status of the histone pH2A.X and the ATM
kinase. Cells were acquired with a BD FACS CantoIITM flow
cytometer and results were obtained using the FlowJoTM 10 software (BD
Biosciences).

Measuring Mitochondrial Membrane Potential in BMCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
JC-1 is a fluorescent dye that measures the mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ) of cells. The loss of this potential serves as an indicator of apoptosis, where this dye remains in its monomeric form and emits a green fluorescence. Living cells form the “J-aggregates” which emit a red fluorescence.
BMCs were treated with 100 μg/mL AEPA for 96 hours. Subsequently, cells were incubated with JC-1 (1 μM) for 30 min at 37°C. After incubation, the cells were washed and resuspended in PBS. Fluorescence data were obtained using a flow cytometer (BD FACSCantoII TM) at an excitation wavelength of 488 nm, where JC-1 monomers emit fluorescence at 529 nm and J-aggregates emit at 590 nm. A total of 10.000 events were acquired for each sample and the data were obtained by flow cytometer BD FACSCantoII. The data were analyzed using WinMDI version 2.9 (Joseph Trotter) software. The gate was determined using unstained BMCs controls (Additional file 1). The data were analyzed using WinMDI version 2.9 (Joseph Trotter) software.

To determine the in vitro infection efficiency of double-deleted VACV, 3 × 105 REM134 cells were plated in six-well culture plates and infected with VVTG17990 at MOIs of 10−3, 10−2, 10−1, and 1. Quantitative evaluation of fluorescence was performed 24 h after infection by flow cytometry (BD FACSCanto IITM, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Prior to flow cytometry, single-cell suspensions were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA).

Apoptosis was examined using flow cytometry with Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and propidium iodide (PI) (cat. no. 556547; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Briefly, cells were treated with various concentrations of gefitinib or cisplatin for 24 h, trypsinized, washed with cold PBS, and suspended in binding buffer (BD Biosciences) at a concentration of 1×107 cells/ml. Thereafter, they were stained with 5 μl of Annexin V-FITC and 5 μl of PI in 100 μl of cell suspension and incubated for 15 min at room temperature in the dark for processing using flow cytometry. All the early apoptotic cells (Annexin V-positive, PI-negative), necrotic/late apoptotic cells (double positive), and living cells (double negative) were counted using FACSCanto IITM (BD Biosciences).

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.
