Detection of caspases activation by fluorochrome-labeled inhibitors: Multiparameter analysis by laser scanning cytometry

Cytometry
P SmolewskiZ Darzynkiewicz

Abstract

The fluorochrome-labeled inhibitors of caspases (FLICA) were recently used as markers of activation of these enzymes in live cells during apoptosis (Bedner et al.: Exp Cell Res 259:308-313, 2000). The aims of this study were to (a) explore if FLICA can be used to study intracellular localization of caspases; (b) combine the detection of caspase activation with analysis of the changes with cell morphology detected by microscopy and laser scanning cytometry (LSC); and (c) adapt the assay to fixed cells that would enable correlation, by multiparameter analysis, of caspase activation with the cell attributes that require cell permeabilization in order to be measured. Apoptosis of human MCF-7, U-937, or HL-60 cells was induced by camptothecin (CPT) or tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) combined with cycloheximide (CHX). Binding of FLICA to apoptotic versus nonapoptotic cells was studied in live cells as well as following their fixation and counterstaining of DNA. Intensity of cell labeling with FLICA and DNA-specific fluorochromes was measured by LSC. Exposure of live cells to FLICA led to selective labeling of cells that had morphological changes characteristic of apoptosis. The FLICA labeling withstood cell fixation and perme...Continue Reading

Apoptotic Caspases

Apoptotic caspases belong to the protease enzyme family and are known to play an essential role in inflammation and programmed cell death. Here is the latest research.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
