Confirming Pdyn-GFP Expression in LJA5 Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

Pdyn‐GFP mice were described previously (Geerling et al., 2016; Krashes et al., 2014). To confirm that in the LJA5 region specifically, GFP expression was limited to prodynorphin‐expressing neurons, we performed in situ hybridization with RNAscope using a probe directed against mouse Pdyn (318771) and the Advanced Cell Diagnostics RNAscope multiplex V1 fluorescent assay.
We additionally labeled Pdyn‐GFP tissue for GABAergic and glutamatergic genetic markers. We used probes directed against mouse Vgat/Slc32a (319191), Gad1 (400951), Vglut2/Slc17a6 (319171) (Advanced Cell Diagnostics).

Zonal Expression of Clock Genes in Liver

smFISH of R genes were done on fresh-frozen liver cryosections (8μm) embedded in O.C.T Compound (Tissue-Tek; Sakura-Finetek USA), sampled every three hours (ZT0 to ZT21). RNAscope® probes for Bma1l mRNA (Mm-Arntl, catalog #: 438748-C3) and Per1 mRNA (Mm-Per1, catalog #: 438751) were used, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the RNAscope Fluorescent Multiplex V1 Assay (Advanced Cell Diagnostics). To detect the central vein, an immunofluorescence of Glutamine Synthetase (ab49873, Abcam, diluted 1:2000 in PBS/BSA 0.5%/Triton-X0.01%) was done together with smFISH. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI and sections were mounted with ProLong™ Gold Antifade Mountant. Liver sections were imaged with a Leica DM5500 widefield microscope and an oil-immersion x63 objective. Z-stacks were acquired (0.2μm between each Z position) and mRNA transcripts were quantified using ImageJ, as described previously in ref.50 (link). Pericentral (PC) and Periportal (PP) veins were manually detected based on Glutamine Synthetase IF or on bile ducts (DAPI staining). The Euclidean distance between two veins and the distance from the vein of each mRNA transcript were calculated. mRNA transcripts were assigned to a PP or PC zone if the distance from the corresponding vein was smaller than one-third of the distance between the PP and PC veins (ranging from 50 to 130μm).

Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and rapidly decapitated. The ipsilateral L2 and L3 DRG of mice were removed within 7 min, placed into OCT, and flash frozen using 2-methylbutane chilled on dry ice. Tissue was kept on dry ice until cryosectioning. DRG samples were cryosectioned at 14 μm, mounted directly onto Super Frost Plus slides, and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies were performed according to the protocol for fresh frozen samples using the RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent v1 Assay (Advanced Cell Diagnostics, 320851) with minor modifications. Briefly, DRG sections were fixed for 15 min in ice-cold 4% PFA and dehydrated with ethanol. Sections were then treated with Protease IV for 15 min at room temperature. Probes for Eyfp (Advanced Cell Diagnostics, Eyfp, 312131), Mrgprd (Mm-Mrgprd, 417921), Mrgpra3 (Mm-Mrgpra3, 548161), and Sst (Mm-Sst, 404631) were hybridized for 2 hr at 40°C in a humidified oven, and then a series of incubations was performed to amplify and label target probes with the assigned fluorescence detection channel (C1–C3). Sections were counterstained with DAPI using ProLong Gold Antifade Mountant (Invitrogen, P36931).

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.
