For immunohistochemical fluorescence analysis, cell-loaded scaffolds were cultured in 24-well plates for 1 or 7 d and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. The cell-loaded scaffolds were washed three times before being incubated with 0.1% Triton X-100 at room temperature for 30 min and then incubated with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Gibco, Grand Island, NY) at 37°C for 1 h. The cell-loaded scaffolds were washed three times before being incubated with Rhodamine Phalloidin (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Jiangsu, China) at 1 : 200 dilution overnight at 4°C and then incubated with DAPI for 15 min. Immunoreactivity was assessed using a laser confocal microscope.

Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)–nano-TiO2 was produced according to a previously reported method.40 (link) Briefly, FITC-nano-TiO2 was prepared and added to cells at various concentrations (0, 10, or 40 µg/mL) for 24 hours after further selective staining of the cell skeleton and nuclei using rhodamine phalloidin and DAPI (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). Cells were observed under laser-scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM; FV1200; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Next, cells were washed with PBS three times in the dark to remove FITC-labeled nano-TiO2, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at 37°C for 30 minutes, and permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100. After 10 minutes, cells were washed three times with PBS. To stain the cell skeleton, 100 nM rhodamine phalloidin was added and DAPI labeling performed for nuclear staining after 30 minutes. Internalization of nano-TiO2 in LCs was observed using LSCM.

The high-purity peptide was collected, lyophilized, and further identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (Figures S2 and S3). The theoretical mass of 2578.09 Da of the peptide coincides with the experimentally determined one, 2578.30 Da.

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.
