Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell cycle arrest analysis was performed to evaluate whether LbL NP-mediated delivery of miR-34a could induce cell cycle arrest and, if so, in which phase of the cell cycle. MDA-MB-231 cells were seeded in 60-well plates at 50,000 cells/well for approximately 22 hr. Then, cells were either left untreated or treated with LbL NPs carrying miR-co or miR-34a at a dose of 250 nM miRNA in complete medium. After 24 hr of treatment, cells were washed three times with 1X PBS and replenished with fresh medium. After a total treatment of 66 hr, the cells were washed with 1X PBS, stained with DRAQ5™ (Thermo Fisher) DNA probe dye at a concentration of 15 μM in 1X PBS, and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 humidified incubator. After 30 min, the staining solution was removed and the cells trypsinized. Once the cells were non-adherent, the trypsin was neutralized with media and the cells transferred to a 15 ml centrifuge tube. The cells were centrifuged at 300g to pellet the cells; the supernatant was removed, and the cell pellet was resuspended in 300 μL of 1X PBS. Fluorescence intensity of DRAQ5™ was evaluated by flow cytometry using a NovoCyte flow cytometer (ACEA Biosciences) with 488 nm excitation and 530/30 nm detection. Cell cycle analysis was performed using a default algorithm provided by the NovoCyte flow cytometer (ACEA 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.
