Here the authors describe the development of AUTOptosis, an economical and rapid apoptosis monitoring method suitable for high-content and high-throughput screening assays. AUTOptosis is based on the quantification of nuclei intensity via staining with Hoechst 33342. First, the authors calibrated the method using standard apoptosis inducers in multiple cell lines. Next, the authors validated the applicability of this approach to high-content screening using a small library of compounds and compared it with the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling gold standard. Finally, the authors demonstrated the specificity of the method by using AUTOposis to detect apoptosis triggered by Mycobacterium tuberculosis intracellular infections.
