In the end stages ofapoptosis, apoptotic bodies are engulfed bymacrophages and other phagocytic cells2in vivo. Thus, apoptotic cells are removedfrom the population without spilling theircontents and eliciting an inflammatory response.The exact mechanism by which the apoptotic cell becomes a target for phagocytes isunclear. However, it has been shown that anumber of changes in cell surface (membrane) markers occur during apoptosis, anyone of which may signal “remove now” tothe phagocytes. These membrane changesinclude:P Loss of terminal sialic acid residuesfrom the side chains of cell surface glycoproteins, exposing new sugar residues23, 24.P Emergence of surface glycoproteins thatmay serve as receptors for macrophagesecreted adhesive molecules such asthrombospondin25.In theory, any of these membrane changescould provide an assay for apoptotic cells.In fact, one of them has – the alteration inphospholipid distribution.In normal cells (Figure 22, left diagram),the distribution of phospholipids is asymmetric, with the inner membrane containing anionic phospholipids (such as phosphatidylserine) and the outer membranehaving mostly neutral phospholipids.
Inapoptotic cells (Figure 22, right diagram)however, the amount of phosphatidylserine (PS) on the outer surface of the membrane increases, exposing PS to the surrounding liquid27.Cell Death – Apoptosis and NecrosisApoptosis Assay MethodsAssays that measure membrane alterations1Annexin V, a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, has a high affinity forPS27. Although it will not bind to normalliving cells, Annexin V will bind to the PSexposed on the surface of apoptotic cells(Figure 23, 24).
Thus, Annexin V hasproved suitable for detecting apoptoticcells28, 29. Roche Molecular Biochemicalssupplies a number of products for the detection of PS translocation by Annexin V.P Loss of asymmetry in cell membranephospholipids, altering both the hydrophobicity and charge of the membranesurface26.G Figure 22: Detection of surface morphology changes during apoptosis. During apoptosis, the distribution ofneutral phospholipids (black symbols) and anionic phospholipids such as phosphatidylserine (red symbols) in the cellmembrane changes. Phosphatidylserine is present in the outer membrane of apoptotic cells, but not of normal cells.An exogenously added molecule specific for phosphatidylserine, such as Annexin-V-FLUOS, will bind to phosphatidylserine on the outer membrane of apoptotic cells, but cannot react with the phosphatidylserine of normal cells.31Cell Death – Apoptosis and NecrosisApoptosis Assay MethodsAssays that measure membrane alterationsAnnexin-V-FLUOSCat.

They will not bind normal, intactcells. However, since necrotic cells areleaky enough to give Annexin-V-FLUOSand Annexin-V-Alexa™ 568 access to innermembrane PS, apoptotic cells have to bedifferentiated from necrotic cells. Thus, theassay involves simultaneous staining withboth Annexin-V-FLUOS and the DNAstain propidium iodide or Annexin-VAlexa™ 568 and BOBO™-1 (or propidium iodide). Exclusion of propidium iodideor BOBO™-1, coupled with bindingof Annexin-V-FLUOS or Annexin-VAlexa™ 568, indicates an apoptotic cell(Table 7).

75 min (after induction of apoptosis)Significance of reagent: Annexin V is aphospholipid-binding protein with a highaffinity for phosphatidylserine (PS). During apoptosis, PS translocates to the outersurface of apoptotic cells. Detection of cellsurface PS with annexin V thus serves as amarker for apoptotic cells. Labeling of cellswith the Biotin-conjugate of Annexin-V allows fixation after Annexin-V binding forfurther analysis of additional cellular parameters in combination with detection ofapoptosis (van Engeland, M., RamaekersFCS, Schutte, B & Reutelingsperger, CPM(1996): A Novel Assay to Measure Lossof Plasma Membrane Asymmetry DuringApoptosis of Adherent Cells in Culture.Cytometry 24: 131–139).
For distinguishing apoptosis using Annexin-V, see Table 7,page 32.Test principle: Annexin-V-Biotin serves asa probe for apoptotic cells. It will not bindnormal, intact cells. However, since necrotic cells are leaky enough to give AnnexinV-Biotin access to inner membrane PS,apoptotic cells have to be differentiatedfrom necrotic cells. Thus, the assay involves simultaneous staining with both Annexin-V-Biotin and propidium iodide.
Ex-34clusion of propidium iodide, coupled withbinding of Annexin-V-Biotin, indicates anapoptotic cell. Annexin-V-Biotin is visualized with a streptavidin conjugate. Analysismay be by flow cytometry, by fluorescencemicroscopy, or by light microscopy.
