To evaluate the merits and demerits of annexin V-FITC/PI and Hoechst33342/PI double stainings in the detection of apoptosis by flow cytometry.
Hoechst33342/PI and annexin V-FITC/PI double stainings were performed to detect the apoptosis of thymocytes induced by DEX and K562 cells induced by H(2)O(2).
The anenxin V-FITC/PI double staining was able to detect the cell apoptosis in both DEX-induced thymocytes and H(2)O(2)-induced K562 cells as predicted, and the cell plotting was consistent with the principle of the method. Hoechest33342/PI double staining was able to detect cell apoptosis in the DEX-induced thymocytes, but this method showed a contradictory result in the early stage of H(2)O(2)-induced K562 cell apoptosis, and the cell plotting was in conflict with the principle of the method.
Compared with annexin V-FITC/PI double staining, the method of Hoechst33342/PI double staining in the detection of apoptosis by flow cytometry has some limitations.
评价膜联蛋白V-异硫氰酸荧光素/碘化丙啶(Annexin V-FITC/PI)和双苯并咪唑33342/碘化丙啶(Hoechst33342/PI)双染色法在流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡中的优缺点。
采用Hoechst33342/PI和Annexin V-FITC/PI双染色法检测地塞米松(DEX)诱导的胸腺细胞及过氧化氢(H₂O₂)诱导的K562细胞的凋亡情况。
Annexin V-FITC/PI双染色法能够如预期检测到DEX诱导的胸腺细胞及H₂O₂诱导的K562细胞的凋亡,细胞散点图符合该方法原理。Hoechest33342/PI双染色法能够检测到DEX诱导的胸腺细胞凋亡,但该方法在H₂O₂诱导的K562细胞凋亡早期出现矛盾结果,细胞散点图与该方法原理不符。
与Annexin V-FITC/PI双染色法相比,Hoechst33342/PI双染色法在流式细胞术检测细胞凋亡中存在一定局限性。
