Description Reconstitution of activated cytoplasmic extracts with isolated nuclei. Analysis of apoptotic activity by qualitative DNA laddering assay and DAPI staining. Procedure Reaction mix Cytoplasmic extracts were diluted with DB to a concentration of 7.5 g protein per ml in a total volume of 50 l. The extracts were activated or not activated by addition of e.g. 10 M cytochrome c and 1 mM dATP, then 300,000 isolated nuclei in a volume of 1.5 l NSB (e.g. from Jurkat cells) were added. The reactions were incubated at 37C for 4 h. Here is an example for a reaction mix for this kind of experiment: Pipet x l of DB into a microfuge tube. Add 1.5 l of cytochrome c (325 M) and 0.5 l of dATP (100 mM) to reaction mix. Then pipet y l of cytoplasmic extract into the tubes. Add 1 l of nuclei in NSB (2x108 nuclei / ml). Incubate for 4h at 37C. y corresponds to 375 g protein, and x is calculated so that the final volume is 50 l. After incubation, the nuclei were either analyzed by DNA laddering or DAPI staining or both, as described below. DAPI staining of nuclei from cell-free system Pipet 10 l of 4% paraformaldehyde solution (in PBS) onto a glass slide. Add 3 l of the cell-free reaction mix to the fixing solution on slide. Cover with glass cover and seal cover-slide border with e.g. nail paint to prevent drying. Observe nuclei under fluorescence microscope at 350 nm (UV filter). Count at least 150 nuclei and determine apoptotic or normal morphological phenotype. DNA laddering assay with nuclei from cell-free system Add 400 l of Lysis Buffer (containing 0.5 g/ml proteinase K, freshly added) to the cell-free reaction. Incubate over night at 37C. Add 40 l of 3M NaOAc, pH8.0, mix. Add 900 l of ice-cold 100% ethanol, mix. Spin precipitated DNA down at 16,000xg at 4C for 20 min. Dry DNA pellet at the air or in speed vac. Add 20 l of TE buffer containing 0.2 mg/ml RNase A. Incubate at 37C for at least 30 min. Add 5 l sample buffer (5x). Load samples onto a 1.5% agarose gel, run at about 4V per cm for about 2h.
