The cells were cultured in 20-mm confocal dishes and divided into four groups: the control group, the FITC-LPS group, the resatorvid+FITC-LPS group, and the ECH+FITC-LPS group. Only a complete medium was added to the control group. Only a complete medium containing 10 μg/ml of FITC-LPS was added to the FITC-LPS group. The resatorvid+FITC-LPS group was used as the positive control by adding the complete medium containing 150 μM TLR4 inhibitor and 10 μg/ml of FITC-LPS. To the ECH+FITC-LPS group was added the complete medium containing 200 μM of ECH solution and 10 μg/ml of FITC-LPS. After incubating the aforementioned four groups simultaneously for 90 min, the cell cultures were aspirated, discarded, rinsed 3–5 times using PBS, and then the phenol red free medium was added. Each group of experiments was repeated three times. Fluorescence detection was performed using a confocal fluorescence microscope (ZEISS LSM880+Fast Airyscan). The laser pinhole was opened at 100 nm, and the FITC green fluorescence channel was used with an excitation wavelength of 488 nm.

Whole larvae were fixed in paraformaldehyde at 4°C for 48 h, cryoprotected in 30% sucrose and mounted in O.C.T.™ medium (Sakura, Tissue-Tek, Alphen aan den Rijn, The Netherlands). Larvae were transversely sectioned in 10 μm thick slices using a cryostat (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) at −20°C and were mounted on glass slides. Cryosections were blocked with a solution containing 0.1% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 5% Horse serum for 30 min at room temperature. They were subsequently incubated at 4°C overnight with the following primary antibodies: mouse anti-Rho4d2 (1:7000; ab98887, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and mouse anti-Zpr-1 (1:500; ab174435, Abcam). After several washes, sections were incubated with specific secondary antibodies: Cy3-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:800; 715-165-150, Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA), Cy3-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000; 711-166-152, Jackson ImmunoResearch) or Alexa Fluor-488 conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:1000; 715–545-150, Jackson ImmunoResearch). Nuclei were counterstained with 40,6-diamidino-2 phenylendole (DAPI; 1:5000; Sigma Aldrich). The emitted fluorescence was measured using a confocal microscope (LSM880 Fast Airyscan, Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Larvae were anesthetized with 100 μg/mL buffered tricaine and mounted in 1% low-melting point agarose as previously described (41 (link)). Epi-fluorescence microscopy was performed using a MVX10 Olympus microscope (MVPLAPO 1X objective; XC50 camera). Confocal microscopy was performed on ZEISS LSM880 FastAiryscan, using 20X/0.8 objective, plan apochromat equipped with DIC for transmission images, resolution at 512x512 pixels. The wavelength were respectively 488nm (Argon Laser) and 561nm (DSSP Laser) for excitation. Detection was selected at 505-550nm for PMT detector and 585-620nm for GaAsP detector. The images were taken in a sequential mode by line. The 3D files generated by multi-scan acquisitions were processed by Image J. To image Ca2+ oscillations at the wound, we used ANDOR CSU-W1 confocal spinning disk on an inverted NIKON microscope (Ti Eclipse) with ANDOR Neo sCMOS camera (20x air/NA 0.75 objective). Image stacks for time-lapse movies were acquired at 28°C every 20 seconds (s), with z-stack of 45 μm at 3 μm intervals. To image macrophage activation in live, z-stacks of 78 μm with 3 μm intervals were acquired every 3min, in multiposition mode. The 4D files generated from time-lapse acquisitions were processed using Image J. Brightness and contrast were adjusted for maximal visibility.

The DRGs, spinal cord, and sympathetic ganglia were cut at a thickness of 25 μm using a freezing microtome (Leica HM430, Wetzlar, Germany), and all consecutive sections were collected. Local ST25 tissue was cut into 20-μm thick sections (Wang et al., 2018 (link); Zhang et al., 2021 (link)). All sections were mounted on slides, sealed with a drop of an anti-fluorescence quenching sealer (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), and observed under laser confocal (ZEISS LSM880 + Fast Airyscan, Germany) and inverted fluorescence microscope (ZEISS Axio Scope AI, Germany) microscopes.

Stacked brightfield and fluorescence overview images were collected with 10 × , 40 × or 63 × Plan-Apochromat objectives using an automated slide scanner microscope (Zeiss AxioScan Z1) or a fluorescence-phase contrast microscope (Keyence BZ 9000). Stacks were collected at 1–5 µm intervals, merged and post-processed using the corresponding software (ZEN 2.3 or BZ-Analyzer). Shading correction and white balance were carried out. High magnification fluorescence images were obtained with a 63 × Plan-Apochromat (1.2 numerical aperture) objective using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss LSM 510 Meta or LSM 880 fast Airyscan) with lasers excitation at 543 and 633 nm and emission was detected using a BP 565–615 and a BP 650–710 filter.

For lipid chase experiments, AML cells were labeled with 1 mM of the fluorescent fatty acid BODIPY 558/568 C12 (RC12Thermo Fisher Scientific) overnight in complete culture medium. After two washes, AML cells were seeded on coverslips, fixed, and stained for mitochondrial network with TOMM20 (Genetex, 133756) like for LC3B staining. For imaging of the mitochondrial network and RC12 distribution, 6–8 µm Z-stacks at 0.18 µm were used. Fluorescence signals were analyzed using high resolution fluorescence microscopy. Images were taken with a Zeiss LSM 880 FAST Airyscan using a 63× Plan-Apochromat objective with 1.4 aperture under immersion oil. The Manders 2 (M2) coefficient, or fraction of RC12 signal overlapping mitochondrial network, was determined from Z-stack projections of RC12 and mitochondrial network using the Fiji JACoP plugin.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
