Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Assay

HSPCs were harvested from expansion cultures at day 7, resuspended at 1 × 106 cells/mL in RoboSepTM Buffer and incubated with 2 µM MitoProbeTM JC-1 cationic dye (Thermo Fisher Scientific; dissolved in DMSO) at 37 °C/5% CO2 for 30 min as per manufacturer’s guidelines. For control sample, 50 µM carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone (CCCP; Thermo Fisher Scientific) was added simultaneously. Cells were washed, resuspended in RoboSepTM Buffer, and stored on ice until analysis. Samples were analysed on a Guava® easyCyte Single Sample flow cytometer, using 488 nm excitation with 530/590 nm emission filters. JC-1 is a lipophilic, cationic dye that can selectively enter mitochondria and reversibly change colour from green to red as the membrane potential increases. In healthy cells with high mitochondrial (ΔψM), JC-1 instinctively generates complexes known as J-aggregates (oligomers) with red fluorescence. Whereas, in unhealthy or apoptotic cells with low (ΔψM), JC-1 maintains its monomeric form with a green fluorescence.

Rhenium Compound PC-1 and miRNA146a Effects

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were grown and incubated at 37°C @ 5% CO2 in 35mm cell culture dishes until fully confluent. 10µm of rhenium compound PC-1 was added to the dishes and allowed to incubate for 48 hours, but after 24 hours 1µl of miRNA146a gold nano probe was diluted into 20µl of 1× PBS and added to the cells and allowed to incubate overnight. The next day, cells were then removed and scraped using a sterile cell scraper and pipetted in microcentrifuge tubes. Pipetted cells were then centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 10 minutes until cell pellet was visible. Pelleted cells were then suspended using 1× PBS and then diluted 1:1000. Using a Guava® EasyCyte Single Sample Flow Cytometer, gene expression was analyzed. A BIO RAD (USA) fluorescence microscope was used to take pictures of the gold nano particle transfected cells. The experiment with the EZH2 oncogene was similarly done for analyzing its expression in Rhenium drug RPR1 treated and untreated PC3 prostate cancer cells.

Cell Cycle Analysis Utilizing Muse™ Kit

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the cell cycle analysis, Muse™ Cell Cycle Kit (Merck, Kenilworth, NJ, USA) was used. Flp‐In™ T‐REx™ 293 cell lines expressing the corresponding transgene were grown on four 10‐cm plates per cell line until 50% confluency, at which point KaryoMAX Colcemid solution (Gibco, Dublin, Ireland) was added 1:100 to two plates per cell line for 6 h. Cells were harvested by trypsinization and fixed by resuspending in ice‐cold 70% EtOH. The final EtOH suspension was calculated to contain 2 million cells/ml. The resuspensions were kept at −20°C overnight. For cell counting, 300 μl of cell suspension was centrifuged at 450 g for 5 min and washed once with 1× PBS. Three hundred microliters of cell cycle reagent was added, and the solution was incubated at room temperature for 30 min in the dark. A total of 10,000 events were measured for each sample on Guava easyCyte single sample flow cytometer (Merck). The G2‐phase peak was defined using the KaryoMAX‐treated samples, while the results were obtained from untreated samples.

pcDNA3.1 CMV-ATG-Clover constructs were transfected into Hap1 wildtype and RPS25 knockout cells with Lipofectamine 3000. After 48 hours of transient transfection, Hap1 cells were dissociated and resuspended in 1X PBS, 2% FBS, 1mM EDTA buffer and analyzed in the FITC channel for GFP expression using a Guava easyCyte Single Sample Flow Cytometer (EMD Millipore). Data was analyzed using Flowjo (version X 10.0.7r2) and the mean GFP signal was calculated.

HSPCS were harvested from expansion culture at day 7, resuspended in Advanced RPMI 1640 (1 × 106 cells/mL) and stained with 100 nM MitoTracker® Deep Red FM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) dissolved in DMSO at 37 °C/5% CO2 for 30 min as per the manufacturer’s guidelines. Cells were then washed in prewarmed dPBS, resuspended in Advanced RPMI and stored on ice until being examined using a Guava® easyCyte Single Sample Flow cytometer and analysed using InCyteTM software (Merck Millipore, Watford, UK).

Neutrophil Identification by DiOC6 Staining

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure the relative concentration of cells in our mixed population, we performed cytometry analysis with a Guava easyCyte Single Sample Flow Cytometer (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). Isolated neutrophils were stained in a 5 μM solution of DiOC6 (Sigma) for identification. RBCs were then mixed with the neutrophils as described above for the mixed cell samples and run in the cytometer. Gating was determined based on fluorescence and confirmed with pure neutrophils.

Labeling of cell-type specific surface antigens of cells isolated from the peritoneal cavity was performed as described recently (54 (link)). Briefly, after saturating unspecific binding sites with mouse FcR-blocking reagent (Miltenyi Biotech) (10% blocking solution in 0.5% BSA, 2 mM EDTA in PBS [magnetic-activated cell sorting [MACS] buffer]) for 10 min at 4 °C, cells were harvested by centrifugation (1,500 rpm, 5 min, 4 °C) and subsequently resuspended in MACS buffer, also used to dilute immune-phenotyping antibodies (T cells: CD3; B cells: B220; macrophages: CD11b, mast cells: CD117; neutrophils: Ly6-G), (working dilution 1:100, each). After an incubation of 20 min at RT, excess antibodies were eliminated by three washing steps with MACS buffer (1,500 rpm, 5 min, 4 °C). Flow cytometric analysis was performed with a Guava easy Cyte single sample flow cytometer (Merck-Millipore); isotype controls were used as references. Gates were adjusted on live cells and cell size. Resulting populations were analyzed for fluorescence signals. Data were analyzed using the InCyte software (Merck-Millipore). Sorting of CD117+ cells was performed with fluorescence-activated cell sorter Aria.

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.
