Multicolor Labeling for Lipid Droplet Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HeLa cells were first seeded on coverslips in petri dishes with DMEM culture medium at 37 °C for 24 h. ER-GFP (C10590, Invitrogen) and Actin-RFP (C10583, Invitrogen) plasmids were transfected into cells for 48 h following the protocol from Invitrogen. 500 μM oleic acid (O1383 SIGMA) coupled with BSA in DMEM culture medium was then added to cells for 7 h to induce the formation of lipid droplets. Before imaging, cells were first incubated with 6 μM SYTO60 (S11342, Invitrogen), 120 nM LysoTracker Deep Red (L12492, Invitrogen) and 400 nM Rhodamine 800 (83701 SIGMA) in HBSS simultaneously for 30 min at 37 °C, followed by staining with NucBlue® Live ReadyProbes® Reagent (R37605, Invitrogen) in HBSS for 20 min at 37 °C. Then cells were incubated with ATTO 740-conjugated WGA in HBSS for 30 min at 37 °C, followed by staining with LipidTOX Deep Red (H34477, Invitrogen) in HBSS with a dilution of 1:20 for 30 min at room temperature before imaging.

Mitochondrial Labeling with Photosensitizers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mitotracker Deep Red FM (Life Technologies, #M22426), Mitoview 633 (Biotium, #70055), Rhodamine 800 (Sigma, #83701), and TMRE (Life Technologies, #T-669) were used without further purification. Photosensitizer stock solutions were prepared in DMSO (Sigma, #D2650). Absorption spectra of the photosensitizers were determined on a UV-Vis spectrophotometer (Beckman Coulter, #DU-800) in PBS buffer (pH 7.4) at room temperature within a quartz cuvette (Nova Biotech, #QS-467). Condition for labeling HeLa cell mitochondria with photosensitizers: 100 nM in complete medium at 37 oC for 30 min (followed by 3X PBS wash).

Somatostatin Receptor Targeting for Osteosarcoma Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Human osteosarcoma cells (U2OS), either transfected with SSTR2 [20 (link)] or wild-type (without SSTR2 expression) were cultured in DMEM (Gibco Life Technologies, Waltham, MA, USA) with 10% fetal calf serum and 1% penicillin. The cells were seeded in 24 well plates (105 cells per well) and grown until confluent. The cells were kept alive or killed with 50 µL EtOH (70%) and incubated with 800CW-TATE (10 nM, piCHEM, Grambach, Austria) in culturing medium for 30 min. A blocking experiment was included by co-incubation of 800CW-TATE (10 nM) with DOTA-TATE (10 µM, Bachem, Bubendorf, Switzerland). Control experiments were included by incubation of the cells with a NIR-fluorescent dye that does not bear a cyanine motive: Rhodamine 800 (10 nM, Sigma-Aldrich). Additionally, wells without seeded cells were exposed to PBS or EtOH and then incubated with 800CW-TATE, to investigate non-specific binding to plastic. After gentle washing with PBS, NIR-fluorescence imaging of the whole plate was performed on an Odyssey flatbed scanner (Li-Cor, Lincoln, USA). 800CW-TATE binding was based on fluorescent signal ± SD and each experiment was performed in n = 12.

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.
