Description of C12FDG

C12FDG is the fluorescent substrate of β-galactosidase. By enzymolysis of β-galactosidase, fluorescein is released and its fluorescence can be used to quantify the activity of β-galactosidase. The excitation/emission maxima of fluorescein are 485/530 nm[1-3].

C12FDG(15 μM ; 2 h) staining can assess SA-β-Gal activity to detect senescence in THP-1 cells(15 μM ; 2 h) [4]and A172 cells(90 min; 33 µM) [5]. Live cell measurements of senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity using the fluorescent substrate C12FDG in combination with the determination of the total cell number using a DNA intercalating Hoechst dye opens the possibility to screen for senotherapeutic drugs [6].

Protocol of C12FDG

Protocol for Fluorescent aging associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) experiment using C12FDG [1]:

1. Cells were cultured with a density of 105 cells/mL.

2. The cells were washed once with 200 μL PBS, and then fixed with 100 μL fixing solution (2% formaldehyde /0.2% glutaraldehyde distilled water) at room temperature for 5 minutes.

3. The cells were washed with 200 μL PBS twice, stained with 100 μL 33 μM C12FDG (PBS, pH=6.0) for 10 min, and then 200 μL Hoechst solution (1 μg/mL Hoechst 33342) on PBS (pH 6.0) for 10 minutes.

4. These cells were imaged with a 20× objective lens and excitation filters of 360 nm (Hoechst 33342) and 480 nm (C12FDG), and monitored with emission filters of 460 nm and 535 nm, respectively.

This C12FDG protocol only provides a guideline, and should be modified according to your specific needs.

Protocol for Measurement of Senescence-Associated β-galactosidase activity using C12FDG [2]:

The fluorogenic cell permeable substrate C12FDG was used to determine the senescence-associated β-galactosidase activity (SA-β-gal) in treated Endothelial cells by flow cytometry.

  1. Endothelial cells (ECs) were alkalinized (pH 6) with chloroquine (300 μM) for 1h, followed by 1 h incubation with C12FDG (33 μM), a fluorogenic substrate of SA-β-gal .
  2. Cells were thereafter washed with ice-cold PBS, harvested with trypsin and freshly analyzed using the CellQuest software. Light scattering parameters were set to eliminate dead cells and subcellular debris using C12FDG.
  3. The green C12-fluorescein signal was measured and SA-β-gal activity estimated using the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of the cell population.
