| Description | The Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Kit (Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Kit) is a test kit that uses the classic propidium iodide (PI) staining method to analyze the cell cycle and apoptosis. Propidium iodide is a fluorescent dye for double-stranded DNA. When propidium iodide binds to double-stranded DNA, The Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Kit (Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Kit) is a test kit that uses the classic propidium iodide (PI) staining method to analyze the cell cycle and apoptosis. Propidium iodide is a fluorescent dye for double-stranded DNA. When propidium iodide binds to double-stranded DNA, it can produce fluorescence, and the fluorescence intensity is proportional to the content of double-stranded DNA. After the DNA in the cells is stained with propidium iodide, the DNA content of the cells can be measured using a flow cytometer, and then based on the distribution of DNA content, the cell cycle and apoptosis can be analyzed. After staining with propidium iodide, if the fluorescence intensity of G0/G1 phase cells is 1, then the theoretical fluorescence intensity of G2/M phase cells containing double genomic DNA is 2, and the fluorescence intensity of S phase cells undergoing DNA replication is between 1 and 2. Apoptotic cells, due to the condensation of the cell nucleus and the fragmentation of DNA (DNA fragmentation), cause some genomic DNA fragments to be lost during staining, so the iodine staining of apoptotic cells presents a significantly weak color, that is, the fluorescence intensity is less than 1, and a so-called sub-G1 peak appears on the fluorescence graph of flow cytometry, which is the peak of apoptotic cells. When cells undergo apoptosis, due to the concentration of cytoplasm and chromatin, apoptotic bodies are produced, causing changes in the light scattering properties of the cells. In the early stage of cell apoptosis, the ability of the cell to forward-angle light scattering significantly decreases, while the ability of lateral light scattering increases or remains unchanged. In the late stage of cell apoptosis, the signals of forward and lateral light scattering both decrease, so the changes in cell light scattering can be measured using a flow cytometer to observe the apoptosis situation. This kit is usually applied to the detection of the cell cycle and apoptosis of cultured adherent or suspended cells. If used for the cell cycle and apoptosis detection of cells from tissues, the tissue must be digested into a single-cell state before detection can be performed.

Suitable for extracting total RNA with improved purity from paraffin embedded tissues or sections less than 30mg. This kit does not require the use of phenol/chloroform extraction or isopropanol precipitation, and can complete the extraction of multiple samples within one hour. This product uses specially optimized lysis solution and protease K to release RNA from formalin fixed or tissue slice samples without overnight operation; After digestion, the sample is incubated at a higher temperature to remove the inhibitory effect caused by formalin cross-linking, effectively releasing RNA from tissue slices and avoiding endangering RNA integrity; The optimized buffer system allows RNA in the lysis solution to specifically bind to the silica gel adsorption membrane, while other pollutants can flow through the membrane; It can be effectively removed through rinsing steps, and the washed RNA can be directly used for experiments such as RT-PCR, Real Time PCR, and Western blot analysis.Self prepared reagents: anhydrous ethanol (newly opened or dedicated for RNA extraction), 10mM PBS (pH 7.4).Preparation and important precautions before the experiment1. Add 0.625ml Protein K Storage Buffer to Protein K to dissolve it and store at -20 ℃. The prepared Protein K should not be left at room temperature for a long time to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, which may affect its activity.2. To prevent RNase pollution, attention should be paid to the following aspects:1) Use RNase free plastic products and gun heads to avoid cross contamination.2) Glassware should be dry baked at a high temperature of 180 ℃ for 4 hours before use, while plastic containers can be soaked in 0.5M NaOH for 10 minutes, thoroughly rinsed with water, and then sterilized under high pressure.3) Prepare the solution using water without RNase.4) Operators should wear disposable masks and gloves, and change gloves frequently during the experiment.3. After obtaining the sample, it should be fixed in 4% -10% formalin as soon as possible, with a suitable fixation time of 14-24 hours. Excessive time can lead to RNA breakage and affect downstream experiments.4. Ensure that the sample before embedding is thoroughly dehydrated, as residual formalin will inhibit the action of Protein K.5. Before the first use, anhydrous ethanol should be added to Buffer RW2 according to the instructions on the reagent bottle label.Before use, please check if there is any crystallization or precipitation in Buffer GTL, Buffer GL, and Buffer DS. If there is any crystallization or precipitation, please dissolve Buffer GTL, Buffer GL, and Buffer DS again in a 56 ℃ water bath.Operation steps1. Sample processing1a. Paraffin embedded sample: Use a surgical knife to trim off excess paraffin from the tissue block, expose the tissue, and cut into 5-10 µ m thin slices.Attention: If the surface of the sample has already been exposed to air, please discard 2-3 pieces that come into contact with the air and do not use them.1b. Samples in fixed solutions such as formalin: Take approximately 20mg of the sample, cut it into small pieces, place it in a centrifuge tube, and add 500 µ 10mM PBS (PH7.4), vortex oscillation, centrifugation at 12000 rpm (~13400 × g) for 1 minute, discard the supernatant, repeat 3 times, and proceed directly to step 3.2. Choose option A or option B to remove paraffinOption AA1.

Incubate at 80 ℃ for 15 minutes. Short centrifugation allows the solution on the tube wall to be collected to the bottom of the tube.Note: 1) The purpose of this step is to repair nucleic acids denatured by formaldehyde. Incubating at a high temperature or for too long may cause RNA breakage, resulting in RNA fragments.2) The sample incubated at 56 ℃ can be placed at room temperature until the temperature of the water or dry bath reaches 80 ℃, and then the sample can be incubated at 80 ℃.5. Place on ice for 3 minutes, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 15 minutes, transfer the supernatant to a new centrifuge tube, be careful not to suck sediment.6. Add 320 to the supernatant µ L Buffer GL, vortex oscillation thoroughly mixed.7. Join 720 µ Mix anhydrous ethanol thoroughly with vortex oscillation.Attention: After adding anhydrous ethanol, there may be a small amount of precipitate precipitation, but it does not affect subsequent operations.8. Add all the solutions obtained in step 7 to the spin columns RS that have been loaded into the collection tube. If the solution cannot be added at once, it can be transferred multiple times. Centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 minute, discard the waste liquid in the collection tube, and place the adsorption column back into the collection tube.Optional steps: If genomic DNA needs to be removed, the following steps can be followeda.
