1. fluorescence measurement
Protocol for fluorescence measurement is based on the introduction of Reactive oxygen species (ROS) testing Kit.
1) add the yeast into 2 to 5 mL of liquid medium and incubated overnight in a shaker.
2) The cultured cells are seeded in fresh medium at a volume of 10% by volume.
For the detection of accumulated ROS, incubate DCFH-DA with yeast cells for 30 min (37℃), then wash the cells with PBS twice and analyzed by flow cytometry and Fluorescent microplate reader.
2. Yeast Survival Rate Test
Spotting assays and viability tests
For spotting assays, yeast strains recovered from −80°C vials were shaken in SGR-URA liquid medium overnight for revitalization. Then they were adjusted to the identical OD600 of ∼0.5 and serially diluted to 10−1, 10−2, and 10−3. A 3-μl amount of each diluted yeast culture was spotted on SD-URA or other plates. SGR-URA plates served as the spotting control. Generally, pictures were taken after 2 or 3 d, depending on the growth.
For survival tests, yeast cells were shaken in test tubes and grown until they reached the exponential phase, and then different apoptotic inducers were added to induce apoptosis. After the cells were treated by Mn for 12 h or H2O2 for 100 min, the number of surviving colonies was determined by plating a small aliquot of the treated cultures on yeast extract/peptone/dextrose plates or selective plates (SD or SGR dropout plates).
