Celltracker cm dii dye

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

CellTracker CM-DiI Dye is a fluorescent cell labeling reagent used for tracking and visualizing cells. It is a lipophilic carbocyanine dye that passively diffuses into live cells and becomes incorporated into the cell membrane. The dye is retained within the cell during cell division, allowing the monitoring of cell lineage and migration.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HUVECs were transfected according to the previous method’s description and in vivo stained, according to the company protocol, with CellTracker™ Green CMFDA Dye (Lie Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA and then seeded overnight in a 96-wells plate at the density of 5000 cells/well. The experiment was simultaneously performed in either standard culture conditions (21% O2) or hypoxia (1% O2). The following day, pericytes were stained according to the company protocol with CellTracker™ CM-DiI Dye (Life Technologies) and left for 2 h in full media. The HUVEC-containing wells were then gently washed with medium before seeding of 5000 pericytes on the HUVECs layer. Photomicrographs (40X) were taken at 12h from pericyte seeding. For each treatment, five photomicrographs were taken, and each treatment was performed in triplicate. ImageJ was used to quantify the adhesion.

To visualize the delivery of pGFPns to HSPCs, at 24 and 72 hours, HSPCs from the coculture with Cy5-pGFPns were examined by ELYRA PS.1 Superresolution Microscopy (Zeiss). Briefly, cells were first stained with CellTracker CM-DiI Dye (Invitrogen) for lipid membrane staining and seeded onto poly-l-lysine–coated coverslips. After 10 min, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. After washing with PBS thrice, samples were mounted with SlowFade Diamond Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Invitrogen) for imaging.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All animal studies were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of The Catholic University of Korea (Approval number: CUMC-2015-0048-04). Myocardial infarction in the rodent model was induced as we previously described [28 (link),29 (link),30 (link)]. Male BALB/c nude mouse (8-week-old, 30–40 g; Orient bio, Seongnam, Korea) anesthetized via inhalation of 2% isoflurane were intubated through the trachea with an 18 G intravenous catheter. Then, the mice were mechanically ventilated with medical-grade oxygen. After the left thoracotomy was performed, MI was induced by the left anterior descending artery’s permanent ligation. Immediately after MI induction, BM-MSC cells, HGF-eMSC cells, or a mixture (BM-MSC and HGF-eMSC) of cells were injected directly into the ischemic area. To trace the BM-MSCs within the heart tissues further, the BM-MSCs were pre-labeled with a red fluorescence dye, CM-DiI, prior to cell injection. Briefly, BM-MSCs were stained using CellTracker™ CM-DiI Dye (Invitrogen™, Carlsbad, CA, USA). BM-MSCs were incubated in the CM-DiI Dye solution (5 µg/mL) for 5 min at 37 °C, followed by additional 15 min at 4 °C. After labeling, BM-MSCs were washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and re-suspend in serum free medium for further uses.

Healthy young Koreans, with no obvious scalp diseases, provided occipital scalp skin tissue for this study. From the tissue, hHFs were isolated and dissected into single follicular units with a No. 20 blade under a stereomicroscope (Olympus). The micro-dissected hHFs were used for primary hDP and hORS cell cultures. The hDP cells were cultured as described previously (Magerl et al., 2002 (link)). In short, candlelight-shaped dermal papilla (DP) of HFs were dissociated in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (Welgene) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Welgene) and antibiotic/antimycotic solution (penicillin and streptomycin; Gibco). For hORS cells, the hair shaft and bulb region of the dissected hHF were cut off and immersed in DMEM supplemented with 20% FBS, as described by Choi et al. (2019) . On the third day, the medium was changed to Epilife medium (Gibco) supplemented with human keratinocyte growth supplement (Gibco) and antibiotics/antimycotics. We used a fluorochrome (Cell Tracker CM-DiI Dye or Qtracker 525 Cell Labeling Kit, Invitrogen), in accordance with the manufacturer’s instruction, to label the cultured hORS or hDP cells, respectively. All cells were kept in a humidified 5% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C.

Transwell Matrigel invasion assays and transendothelial invasion experiments were conducted with 24‐well transwell inserts containing a polycarbonate membrane (8‐μm pore size; Corning). For the transendothelial invasion experiment, 1 × 105 HUVEC cells were seeded into transwell plates before being coated with Corning Matrigel matrix (Corning, Cat. #: 354234) for 24 h. Then, the cells were stained with CellTracker™ CM‐DiI Dye (Invitrogen, Cat. #: C7000) following the manufacturer's instructions and added into the upper chambers. 500 μl mediumwith 20% FBS was then added into the lower chambers. The plates were maintained at 37°C for 15 h. The invading cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with 0.1% crystal violet. Cells were then counted using a Zeiss Axio Imager.Z2 microscope.

Thoracic tracheal tubes of each beetle in different treatments were dissected and instantly fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde overnight. After being washed with 1× PBS buffer, the samples were permeabilized with 0.5% TritonX-100/PBS at 37°C for 20 min, then blocked with 5% goat serum for 1 hr, and incubated with affinity-purified polyclonal rabbit antibody against Muc91C (produced by BGI, China, 1: 100) at 4°C for 24 hr. The samples were then washed three times for 5 min each with 0.5% TritonX-100/PBS, Alexa Fluor-488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, A11008, 1: 500) was used as the secondary antibody. The cellular nucleus was stained with Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen H3570, 1:1000) for 20 min. The cell membrane system was stained with CellTracker CM-DiI dye (Invitrogen, C7001, 1: 500) for 30 min. Finally, the samples were mounted with Fluoroshield mounting medium (Solarbio, S2100). Fluorescence was detected using an confocal laser-scanning microscope (SP8 Lightning, Leica). Taenidial folds are autofluorescence excitated by 488 nm or 561 nm lasers and have higher autofluorescence excitated by 561 nm laser. Images were processed using LAS X Navigator (Leica).

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.
