RNAi PPARG Modulates Cell Migration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNAi-PPARG MCF-7 cells, Scramble-PPARG MCF-7 cells and wild-type MCF-7 cells, 8 × 105 in each case, were seeded on 60-mm culture plates and incubated at 37 °C and 5 % CO2. After 24 h, the attached cells were scratched three times in parallel with a 1000-μl pipette tip (~377 μm) and treated with 10 μM 6IL or vehicle (ethanol) for 24 h. After this time, three new parallel wounds were performed as width control; the number of migrating cells was obtained by counting the number of cells inside this width control. The count was measured by Leica Application Suite Version 2.8.1., and the images were captured with a 10× objective lens using a Leica DM 2500 microscope and DFC 420 camera (Leica Microsystems, CMS GmbH, Germany). The results are presented as number of migrating cells of treated (6IL) vs. control (Ctrl) groups (mean ± SD). At least three fields were analyzed for each plate, and each group was analyzed in three independent experiments.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Ikaros Expression

50–250 thousand cells were centrifuged onto glass slides and fixed for 20 minutes in 10% neutral buffered formalin. Immunohistochemical stains were performed on a Bond III system (Leica Microsystems, Bannockburn, Ill) with pH6 epitope retrieval solution (Leica), a HRP-conjugated anti-Ikaros primary antibody (ab26083, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) diluted 1:1000 in IHC diluent (Leica), and with nuclear counter stain hematoxylin, following manufacturer’s protocol (standard protocol F, Leica) but eliminating steps to de-paraffinize slides. Stained slides were analyzed on a Leica DM 2500 microscope with a 40x HCX PL Fluotar objective (∞/0.17/D). Images were captured using Leica application suite version 2.8.1 (build 1554, 2003–2007).

Tissue Fixation and Sectioning Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animals were prefixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde with 0.05% OsO4 for 10 min on ice, fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde in cacodylate buffer for 1 h at 4 C and post-fixed for 1 h in 1% OsO4 at 4 C (for a detailed protocol, see Salvenmoser et al., 2010) . After dehydration in a graded ethanol series, the specimens were embedded in Spurr's resin. Sections were cut with a Leica ultracut UCT microtome. Semi-thin sections were stained with methylene blue and AZUR II according to Richardson et al. (1960) and examined with a Leica DM5000B light microscope. Images were taken with a Leica DFC camera using Leica Application Suite version 2.8.1. Thin sections were contrasted with uranyl acetate and lead citrate and examined with a Zeiss Libra 120 energy filter transmission electron microscope. Images were made with the iTEM software (Olympus) and a TRS 2048 high speed digital camera (Tr€ ondle, Germany).

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.
