Calcein-AM es un colorante vital altamente lipofílico que entra rápidamente en las células viables. Es convertido por esterasas intracelulares en calceína, que produce una señal verde intensa (530 nm) y es retenido por células con membranas plasmáticas intactas. [1]
En experimentos in vitro, se demostró que el ensayo de Calcein-AM se utiliza para evaluar la viabilidad de los eritrocitos humanos después de la incubación (37°C durante 3 y 20 h) en presencia de Ca2+ (2,5 mM) y el ionóforo A 23187 (0,5 μM). [1] 0,05 μM fue la concentración óptima de CAM (Calcein-AM) para teñir las células efectoras, probando con concentraciones de 0,05, 0,1, 0,2 y 0,4 μM. Usando 0,05 μM de CAM para teñir los PBMCs y las células NK expandidas de tres voluntarios normales, los resultados demostraron que no hubo una disminución significativa en la citotoxicidad y que la tinción con CAM no tuvo un efecto significativo en la actividad de las células NK humanas en los PBMCs ni en las células NK expandidas. [2] In vitro, la señal fluorescente de 50μm de Calcein-AM en 1 x 105 linfocitos estaba cerca del nivel de saturación, mientras que la señal emitida por los linfocitos etiquetados con 20μm de Calcein-AM era solo ligeramente menor. [3] Calcein-AM tiene actividad citotóxica contra líneas celulares tumorales humanas (como el linfoma humano U-937-GTB) a bajas concentraciones (2,5 μg/ml). [4] En un experimento in vitro, se demostró que en macrófagos mezclados y células THP-1 (5x105 células/ml), el ensayo de tinción doble Calcein-AM (2 μM)/Ioduro de Propidio (PI) (4,5 μM) se utilizó para cuantificar el número de células vivas y muertas como un ensayo de muerte celular. [5] Además, las células en condrocitos de OA fueron sembradas en placas de 24 pozos (2 × 104 células/pozo), cultivadas durante 4 h, tratadas con 5 μL de Calcein-AM (2 μM) y 5 μL de PI (2 μM) a 37°C en condiciones de ausencia de luz durante 30 min, y luego analizadas bajo un microscopio de fluorescencia.
