After incubation time, supernatants were flushed several times and 50 μL was collected for staining in 200 μL PBS containing propidium iodide (Sigma-Aldrich) and Syto-62© (Life Technologies) at final concentration of, respectively, 20 μM and 1 μM. For assessing membrane potential, supernatants were stained with 3,3′-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC6(3), 1 μm, Sigma-Aldrich) [14] and Syto-62©. All experiments were analyzed by flow cytometry using FACSCalibur (BD Biosciences, Le Pont de Claix, France).
