Abstract
Accumulating evidence is revealing the essential role of immune system in cancer treatment. Certain chemotherapeutic drugs can potently induce the release of ‘cell death associated molecular patterns’ (CDAMPs), which accompanies cancer cell demise. CDAMPs can engage corresponding receptors on immune cells and stimulate immune responses to achieve long-term tumor control (Ma et al., 2013; Ma et al., 2014; Yang et al., 2015). Among reported CDAMPs, calreticulin (CALR), ATP and HMGB1 are well known for their immune-stimulatory effect. Here we describe the assays that we applied to measure cell death and these CDAMPs. Briefly, cell death can be analyzed by co-staining of 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) with 3,3’-Dihexyloxacarbocyanine Iodide [DiOC6(3)] or Annexin V. CALR exposure on the cell membrane can be detected by flow cytometry. ATP and HMGB1 release can be quantified by luminescence assay and ELISA assay respectively.
Keywords: Cell death (细胞死亡)Background
Lactate dehydrogenase assay and trypan blue staining are traditional methods to examine cell death. We describe here two feasible and economic solutions to detect apoptotic and necrotic cell death by flow cytometry (FCM). DAPI labels cells with disrupted integrity (necrosis), while Annexin V binds to phosphatidylserine (which is externalized upon apoptosis). DiOC6(3) uptake indicates mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP) and the collapse of MTP reveals apoptosis. DAPI doesn’t require compensation with phycoerythrin (PE, which is conjugated with Annexin V protein) or DiOC6(3), and therefore show advantage over propidium iodide (PI) in these assays.
CALR is an endoplasmic reticulum protein, and activation of caspase cascades triggers CALR translocation to cytoplasmic membrane. CALR exposure can be detected by immunofluorescent staining with corresponding antibodies, followed by FCM- or microscopy-based detection. Extracellular ATP can be measured by enzymatic activity of Luciferase, while HMGB1 concentration can be detected by sensitive ELISA kits.
