Cells were captured in the mCherry channel only, to visualize the sspB component before activation. Cells were then activated with the 488 nm laser (typically for 3 min) with a frame interval of 2 s, while imaging in GFP and mCherry at Nyquist zoom. For local activation, a 1 µm2 square is activated. For following compaction over time, the 3 min activation was followed by 30 min of 5 s intervals of activation.
For offline activation, cells were placed on an LED array (Amuza). After activation for an indicated amount of time, 4% formaldehyde is added to the wells. After 10 min incubation, cells are washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Thermo Fisher 14190250). The cells are then treated with 1:2000 Hoechst (Thermo Fisher H1399) in PBS for 20 min or continued to IF.

The frozen tissues were mounted on the specimen stages in the same way as described for “in situ hybridization”. Sections with 12 µm thickness were mounted onto a poly-l-lysine coated slide. Sections were fixed in cold 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min after air drying. Slides were then processed for IF staining. IF was performed as previously described2 (link),4 (link). Frozen sections (12 µm) from each genotype were processed onto the same slides and incubated with primary antibodies listed in Supplementary Table 2. For signal detection, secondary antibodies listed in Supplementary Table 2 were used. Nuclear staining was performed using Hoechst 33342 (5 µg/mL, H1399, Thermo Scientific). Pictures were taken using the Nikon Eclipse 90i upright microscope and processed by Nikon Elements Viewer.

MitoSOX Red reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, M36008) was used to detect mitochondrial superoxide levels in live cells. MG‐63 cells were cultured in Millicell EZ chamber slides (EMD Millipore). A 5 mM MitoSOX Red reagent stock solution was made by dilution into dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). A 5 μM MitoSOX Red reagent working solution was made by diluting the stock into a culture medium. Cells were loaded with MitoSOX Red reagent by incubating for 10 minutes at 37°C protected from light. Hoechst 33342 (1:2000) live‐cell dye was used as a counterstain to detect the nuclei of live cells (Thermo Fisher Scientific, H1399). Cells were washed three times with a warm medium. Intensity measurements were obtained using the Zen Blue software (Zeiss) analyzed using Prism 8 (GraphPad). Rotenone (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA; R8875) was applied as a positive control. For each replicate (n = 6 replicates/condition), average ratios were derived from four different fields of views of 5 to 10 individual cells. Data are presented as mean ± SEM error bars; ****p ≤ 0.0001, ***p ≤ 0.001, **p ≤ 0.01, and *p ≤ 0.05 (one‐way ANOVA with Tukey's multiple comparisons test compared with vehicle).

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.
