After 48 h of co-culture, DAPI staining was carried out as described by Chazotte [26 (link)]. HUVECs-NC, HUVECs-siGRB7-1, or HUVECs-siGRB7-2 on glass slides were washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Cells were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde for 10 min and rinsed three times with PBS. Next, the cells were treated with 0.2% Triton X-100 for 5 min to permeabilize the cells. After rinsing three times with PBS, cells were incubated with DAPI staining solution (Boster, Wuhan, China) for 10 min. After washing three times with PBS, the cells were covered with antifade mounting medium (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and observed using a fluorescence microscope.

Heart tissues of mice were fixed in 10% phosphate-buffered formalin for 24 hours, dehydrated by ethanol and xylene, and then embedded in paraffin. Cardiac tissue sections were stained with H&E to observe morphological changes and stained with Sirius red to detect collagen deposition. Lipid deposits were observed by oil red staining of frozen sections of heart tissues.
Cardiac tissue sections were stained with primary antibodies of SLMAP (Abcam, USA) and GLP-1R (Affinity, China) overnight at 4°C. After thorough washing, sections were incubated with FITC-labelled anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibodies at 37°C for 50 min. Then, the stained sections were counterstained with DAPI-staining-solution (Boster, USA). Finally, the images were captured under an inverted optical microscope (Nikon, Japan).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell culture, transfection and microphotography were performed as previously described [50 (link)]. Briefly, the 293T cells (ATCC number CRL-3216) were cultured in DMEM/High glucose (Hyclone, Logan, UT, USA), supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (PAN-Biotech, Aidenbach, Germany). The cells were maintained at 37 °C in an incubator (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) supplied with 5% CO2. The plasmids of pAC-Prkcaa-GFP and pAC-Prkcab-GFP were transfected into the 293T cells to characterize subcellular localization of zebrafish Prkcaa and Prkcab. The cells were seeded onto 35 mm glass bottom petri dishes at a density of 2 × 105 cells per dish 1 day before transfection. Additionally, 1 h before transfection, the culture medium was replaced with fresh culture medium. The cells were transfected with 1 μg plasmid and 1 μL VigoFect reagent (Vigorous Biotech, Beijing, China). At 6 h after transfection, the old medium was replaced. At 24 h after transfection, the cells were washed twice with PBS and fixed with 4% PFA. After 3 washes with PBS, the cells were stained with DAPI-staining solution (BOSTER, Wuhan, China). Microphotography was conducted using a SP8 confocal microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) under a 63× oil immersion objective.

SKOV3, Hela, AN3CA, MCF7, MHCC97-H and HEK293 cells (4 × 104/well) were cultured on coverslips overnight and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature. Followed by washing with PBS three times and blocking with 1% BSA for 30 min at 37 °C, 1 × 1011 pfu representative clone of positive phage and IRP were added and incubated with the cells at 37 °C for 2 h. Cells were washed with PBS and incubated with anti-M13 antibody (Abcam, USA) at a dilution of 1:200 at 4 °C overnight. Subsequently, cells were washed with PBST and FITC Conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-rabbit IgG (working dilution of 1:100, Boster Biological Technology Co., Ltd., China) were added and incubated at 37 °C for 2 h. After washing three times with PBS, DAPI-Staining-solution (Boster Biological Technology Co., Ltd., China) was used to stain the nucleus. The cells were finally observed using an inverted microscope (SP8 STED 3X, Leica, Germany). IRP and PBS were used as control groups.

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.
