The RA-h cell line, purchased from Shanghai SH Biotechnology Co., Ltd., was cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM) (Gibco) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS, Gibco) and 1% penicillin/streptomycin/glutamine (PSG, Hangzhou Genom Biopharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.) and incubated at 37°C in 5% CO2. RA-h cells were identified by immunofluorescence, which involved adding 4% paraformaldehyde (1 mL/well) for 20 min to fix the cells, adding 0.5% Triton for 10 minutes, and blocking with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 h. The sections were incubated first with a monoclonal mouse anti-GFAP primary antibody overnight at 4°C (ab4648, Abcam) and then with an Alexa Fluor 488 (A-11001, Life Technologies, MA, USA, dilution 1 : 1000) secondary antibody for 1 h. Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, R37606, Life Technologies), and coverslips with SlowFade Diamond Antifade Mountant (S36963, Life Technologies, Rockford, USA) were added. The mounted slides were observed using a microscope (DMI3000B, Leica).

Then, cells were stained with mouse monoclonal anti-vinculin primary antibody (1:100 dilution, ab18058, Abcam) at 4 °C overnight. Following washing with wash buffer, spheroids were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated secondary antibody (1:200 dilution, A11059, Rabbit Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L); Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC)-conjugated phalloidin (1:200, R415; Life Technologies Pty Ltd., Welshpool, Australia). Finally, cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (R37606, Life Technologies, and Grand Island, NY, USA) for 5 min and washed with wash buffer. Fluorescence images of the cells were captured with a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) (objective 40×, excitation wavelengths: 488, 405 and 561 nm; A1R+ confocal microscope system; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Prior to imaging, spheroids were immersed in PBS to avoid drying out.

Cells were cultured in polymer dishes as described previously5 (link). Cells were fixed for 20 min using 4% (by weight) formaldehyde solution (Sigma-Aldrich 252,549). Subsequently, cells were permeabilized with 0.5% by volume Tween 20 (Sigma-Aldrich P1379) in PBS for 20 min, and then blocked with 1% by weight bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma-Aldrich A7906), 22.5 mg/mL glycine in PBST (0.1% by volume Tween 20 in PBS) for 30 min. Cells were incubated with the primary antibodies diluted in 1% BSA in PBST at 4 °C overnight. After that, cells were incubated with the secondary antibodies in 1% BSA at room temperature for 1 h. Finally, the nuclei were stained with DAPI or Hoechst (Thermofisher Scientific R37606 or R37605) fluorescent dyes. The primary antibody used: Atf2 (abcam ab32019), Beta-Catenin (abcam ab19381), GEF-H1 (abcam ab155785), Lef1 (abcam ab137872), Oct4 (abcam ab19857), RNA pol II (abcam ab5408), Smad4 (CST 46,535).

Mouse embryos were usually fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 1 hour and then permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 1 hour at room temperature. However, for the calculation of interpronuclear distance, geometric center distance, and diameters, the embryos were fixed and permeabilized using 4% paraformaldehyde containing 0.2% Triton X-100 for 20 min at room temperature (Figs. 2E and 6G and figs. S2A and S14F). The embryos were then blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma-Aldrich) at room temperature for 1 hour and incubated with the primary antibodies against EHMT2 (1:400; Invitrogen, 435200) and H3K9me2 (1:400; Abcam, ab1220) at 4°C overnight. After washing three times with PBS containing 0.05% Tween 20, the embryos were incubated with the appropriate secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 hour. The nuclei were stained with DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific, R37606). Images were captured under identical imaging conditions on the same confocal laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss LSM 880). Z projections were done by maximum intensity projections of the indicated Z-stacks. Quantitative fluorescence image analysis was performed using ImageJ (Fiji) software (https://imagej.net/software/fiji/downloads). The intensity of fluorescence was calculated from images of stacked or sectioned images after the signal areas were detected automatically in regions of interest.

To explore the distribution of immunoreactive glial cells in neurons, astrocytes, and microglias, double immunofluorescence staining of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1) were performed. For analyzing the viability of NA neurons in the LC, double immunofluorescence staining of dopamine β hydroxylase (DβH) was performed. Sections of 40-μm-thickness of the striatum, SNc, and LC were used. The slices were washed 3 times with PBS, followed by incubation with 10% normal horse serum and primary antibodies; rabbit anti-GFAP antibody (1:1000; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA) and rabbit anti-Iba1 antibody (1:250; Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan) and rabbit-anti DβH antibody (1:500; Sigma-Aldrich Co. LLC, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 24 h at 4 °C, respectively. After rinsing in PBS, sections were incubated for 1 h in FITC-conjugated affinity-purified donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H + L) and 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; 2 drops/mL, R37606; Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) in a dark chamber. The sections were then extensively washed with PBS and coverslipped. Both TH and fluorescent immunoreactivities were visualized using an inverted fluorescence phase-contrast microscope BZ-X710 (Keyence, Osaka, Japan).

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.
