To estimate the total cell count, cell viability, and apoptotic cell population, flow cytometric analysis was carried out using Muse® Count & Viability Assay Kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). In brief, B16F10 cells were plated at a density of 1 × 104 cells/mL overnight and treated with the indicated concentrations of flumequine (0–400 μM) for 72 h. The cells were harvested and washed with ice cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Then, the cells were incubated with the Muse® Count & Viability Assay Kit for 5 min and analyzed according to the manufacturer’s instructions by Muse® cellcycler (Millipore). H2O2 (100 μM) was used as an apoptosis-inducing control.

Measurements were taken at Day 0, 3, and 5.
Cell viability assays were completed with MUSE Count & Viability Assay Kit (Millipore MCH100102). Cells were prepared in a uniform cell suspension for counting, and cells were incubated with Muse Count & Viability Reagent for 5 minutes. Cell viability was analyzed on Muse Cell Analyzer.

Cell death was measured using a Cell Meter Apoptotic and Necrotic Detection kit (ATT Bioquest, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) as previously described.24 (link) In brief, cells were incubated at 37 °C for 30 min with Apopxin Green for detection of phosphatidylserine on cell surface, PI or 7-ADD for labeling the nucleus of cells with membrane rupture, and CytoCalcein for labeling live cell cytoplasm. Cell death was then analyzed with an EVOS FL digital fluorescence microscope (AMG) or a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA). Cells with chromatin condensation were visualized by Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) staining. Cell viability was also assessed using the Muse Count & Viability assay kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). In brief, cells were trypsinized, washed, and incubated with the Muse Count & Viability reagent, and cell viability was quantified on a Muse cell analyzer (Millipore).

Human U87-MG glioblastoma cells (ATCC HTB-14) were modified by lentiviral infection to stably express fLuc2 and eGFP (U87-fLuc2/eGFP, maximum excitation λ = 488 nm, maximum emission λ = 509 nm) under the control of the CMV promoter (kindly provided by Dr. S.A. Collins from Department of Medicine-Digestive Diseases, UCLA, USA)48 (link). They were grown at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 humidified atmosphere, in Modified Essential Medium EARLES (10370–047, Gibco, France) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (10500–064, Gibco, France), 0.2% Glucose (19002–013, Gibco, France), 2 mM L-glutamine (X0550, Dominique Dutscher, France) and 100 U/ml penicillin and 100 μg/ml streptomycin (15140155, Gibco, France). The viability of U87 cells was greater than 90% as determined by visual counts using Trypan Blue Dye Exclusion on a Malassez cell, or by analysis with the Muse® Cell Analyzer (MCH100102, Muse Count & Viability Assay Kit, Millipore).

For the preparation of the conditioned medium (CM), MSCs (passage 3–7) were cultured in the presence of their expansion medium until 80% of confluence. Conditioned medium was obtained from supernatants of 8.95 ± 0.46 × 103/cm2 MSCs maintained in RPMI medium supplemented with 0.1% BSA for 16 h. The viability of MSCs after starvation was about 86 ± 0.5% as detected by the Muse® Count &Viability Assay Kit (CTRL normal medium 88,9% of vitality) (Millipore, MA, USA). Supernatant was first centrifuged at 1500 g for 20 min, to remove debris and apoptotic bodies and then concentrated at 4 °C, approximately 200-fold, using ultrafiltration units (Amicon Ultra-PL 3, Millipore) with a 3 kDa molecular weight cut-off as previous described [21 (link)]. After the concentration CM-containing EVs in 1% dimethyl sulfoxide was kept at −80 °C until use.

Spleens were removed by incising the left-hand side of the abdomen, after cardiac bleed and cervical dislocation of the animal, and transferred to gentleMACs™ C tubes (Miltenyi Biotec) containing autoMACS® running buffer (Miltenyi Biotec). Spleens were macerated in a gentleMACS™ Dissociator (Miltenyi Biotec) using the mouse spleen pre-set program and then tubes were centrifuged at 250 × g for 10 min. The supernatants were discarded, and pellets resuspended in red blood cell lysis solution for 5 min. Sterile PBS was added to quench the lysis solution after 5 min and the cell suspensions were passed through 70 um filter into 50 mL Falcon tubes using Pasteur pipettes. The filtered solutions were centrifuged again at 250 ×g for 10 min, supernatants discarded, and pellets resuspend in 10 mL of complete DMEM. A Muse® Count & Viability Assay Kit (Millipore) was used to measure the final cell count and viability of each sample on a Muse® Cell Analyzer instrument (Millipore). Samples were diluted to 4 × 106 in complete DMEM.

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.
