Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The B16F10 cells were cultured at a density of 4x104 in a 24-well plate. After 24 h, the cells were exposed to one concentration of methanolic extract (0, 0.135 mg/mL) and incubated at different times (24 and 48 h). Etoposide (Enzo Life Sciences, NY, USA) at 1.5 mM was used as a control of apoptosis induction. After treatment, the cells were harvested and washed twice with cold PBS and suspended in 100 μL of binding buffer (0.1 M Hepes/NaOH pH 7.4, 1.4 M NaCl, and 25 mM CaCl2) supplemented with 0.5 μL of APC-Annexin-V and 0.5 μL of propidium iodide (PI). The cell suspension was gently vortexed and incubated for 20 min at 4°C in the dark to be assessed by flow cytometry in a BD AccuriC6 flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA) (total population 10,000 cells). Data was analyzed using FlowJo software (LLC, Ashland, Oregon, USA).

Apoptotic bodies were purified as described by Fransen et al., 2009 (28 (link)); briefly, cells were centrifuged at 1500 g for 10 mins at 20°C. The supernatant was centrifuged at 15700 g for 50 mins at 20°C. Apoptotic bodies were resuspended in PBS.

The cells used in this study are non-transformed cells and represent two different important cell types in diseases such as heart disease and cancer, namely fibroblast and endothelial cells. In addition, these cells would be expected to have different sensitivities to hypoxia exposure.

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.
