Embodiment 1

[0064] Example 1. Cell culture

[0065] Cell culture: Human skin fibroblasts BJ and human lung fibroblasts IMR-90 (ATCC) were cultured in EMEM medium supplemented with 10% BSA. The BJ cell line was cultured continuously until it became senescent, during which time cells and gDNA were collected weekly. The IMR-90 cell lines were collected at four different passage numbers (PD 19.5, PD 27, PD 36, PD 44) and cryopreserved, and the remaining cells were continuously cultured until senescence.

Embodiment 2

[0066] Example 2. β-Gal cell staining

[0067] BJ cells were seeded on glass slides, washed twice with 1x PBS; fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde at room temperature for 5 min; after washing with 1x PBS, freshly prepared β-gal solution (X-Gal 1 mg / ml, citric acid 40 mM, pH 6.0, potassium ferrocyanide 5 mM, potassium ferricyanide 5 mM, sodium chloride 150 mM, magnesium chloride 2 mM) stained cells, and cultured overnight at 37 °C. Observe staining of at least 200 cells under a microscope.

Embodiment 3

[0068] Example 3. Separation of growing and senescent cells by CiI cell staining and flow cytometry

[0069] After BJ cells and IMR-90 cells were trypsinized, they were suspended and stained in 5 uM DiI solution (purchased from Molecular Probes) for 20 min. After staining, wash twice with 1x PBS, and inoculate in culture dishes at a density of about 2000 cells / cm 2 . The cells were cultured in the dark for 5-7 days. After trypsinization, the cells were washed twice with freshly prepared PBS buffer containing 2% PBS and 0.02% EDTA. Then the cells were collected and suspended in the same buffer, and placed in on ice.

[0070] Cells in growth phase and senescent cells were separated by flow cytometry using BD FACSAria I Cell-Sorting System (BD Bioscience). Growth phase cells were stained by DiI to a low degree, and senescent cells were vice versa. Using the DiI signal as a reference, the long-term cells (PROL) and senescent cells (SEN) were separated and collected in test tub...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for detecting a length of the shortest telomere in cells by using an improved STELA method. The present invention further relates to an improved STELA method, and the length and the proportion of the short telomere in cell chromosomes can be rapidly and effectively detected and researched. Compared to the traditional STELA method, the improved STELA method of the present invention is added with a ligation reaction before telorette ligation. In addition, the improved STELA method of the present invention can detect the length of the shortest telomere while the existing technology only can detect the average length of the telomere, such that the improved STELA method of the present invention has advantages of application range enlarging, and accurate, convenient, rapid and intuitional detection of the length and the proportion of the shortest telomere in the sample.

Description

[0001] Technical Field The present invention relates to a method for measuring the length of the shortest telomere in cells by using the modified STELA method. Background technique [0002] Telomere (Telomere) is a DNA repeating sequence located at the end of chromosomes, which can maintain the integrity of chromosomes. In 1990, Harley et al. confirmed that the length of telomeres can gradually shorten as the number of cell divisions increases. This finding establishes a strong link between telomeres and cellular aging. The length of the telomeric repeats may act as a kind of molecular clock. The life span of somatic cells of people of different ages is obviously different, and the length of their telomeres is also different. is shortened with age. Somatic cells from newborns can be subcultured for 80-90 generations in vitro, while somatic cells from 70-year-olds can only be subcultured for 20-30 generations in vitro, and the repeat length of telomeres is also much shorter...
