    This study introduces a flow cytometry method using acridine orange to analyze lymphocyte cell cycle progression and RNA content. This technique helps distinguish cell states and identify uncorrelated transcriptional and proliferative responses.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cell Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Lymphocyte activation involves complex transcriptional and proliferative responses.
    • Distinguishing between resting (G0) and actively growing (G1) lymphocytes is crucial.
    • Current methods may not fully capture the interplay between RNA synthesis and cell division.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a multiparameter flow cytometry method for analyzing lymphocyte stimulation.
    • To simultaneously assess cell cycle progression and RNA accumulation in individual lymphocytes.
    • To investigate the correlation between transcriptional activity and proliferative capacity in stimulated lymphocytes.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilizing flow-cytofluorometry with acridine orange staining.

  • Differential staining of cellular DNA and RNA.
  • Multiparameter analysis of cell cycle phases (G1, S, G2 + M) and RNA content per cell.

    • Main Results:

    • The method allows simultaneous measurement of DNA and RNA content in individual lymphocytes.
    • RNA accumulation per cell can be quantified, aiding in distinguishing G0 from G1 cells.
    • Multiparameter analysis revealed potential for discriminating cases with uncoupled transcriptional and proliferative responses.

    Conclusions:

    • Acridine orange-based flow cytometry offers a robust approach for studying lymphocyte activation.
    • The method provides insights into cell cycle dynamics and RNA metabolism.
    • This technique is valuable for identifying discrepancies between lymphocyte RNA synthesis and proliferation.
