Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Confocal microscopy was used to determine M. tuberculosis–induced autophagic flux and colocalization of M. tuberculosis with the autophagosome marker LC3B and the autophagy receptor p62 in J774.1 macrophages. Briefly, the cells were allowed to adhere to sterile glass coverslips placed in 6-well tissue culture plates, prestimulated with IFN-γ, as described above, and infected with an M. tuberculosis CDC1551 strain ectopically expressing GFP at an MOI of 10 for 6 hours. Cells were fixed, permeabilized, and immunostained using either anti-LC3 antibody (Novus NB100-2220) or anti-p62 antibody (Sigma-Aldrich P0067). Cells were then washed and incubated with Alexa Fluor 647–conjugated secondary antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Hoechst 33342 was used for nuclear staining. Image acquisition was carried out using an LSM700 confocal microscope at ×63 original magnification. Image processing and analysis were done using Fiji (https://github.com/fiji/fiji) and Imaris 9.7 software (Oxford Instruments). For LC3 and p62 quantification, perinuclear puncta were counted in a minimum of 200 cells in different fields using Imaris 9.7 and GraphPad Prism software.

Proteins of brain homogenates (20 μg protein) were denatured using 5x Laemmli sample buffer (25% (v/v) 1.25 M Tris-HCL pH 6.8, 50% (v/v) 100% glycerol, 10% (w/v) sodium dodecyl sulfate, 8% (w/v) DTT, and 0.1% (w/v) bromophenol blue), samples were boiled for 5 min at 98°C, and proteins were separated by electrophoresis on a 12% (w/v) SDS-PAGE gel. Proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (0.2 μM, Bio-Rad laboratories Inc., Hercules, USA) using the Trans-Blot® Turbo™ Transfer system (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked with 5% (w/v) BSA and incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies: rabbit anti-LC3 (1:1000, NB100-2220; Novus Biologicals, Centennial, USA), rabbit anti-p62/SQSTM1 (1:1000, P0067; Sigma-Aldrich), or rabbit anti-actin (1:1000, ab209857; Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Membranes were washed 3 times with TBST and incubated for 1 h at RT with secondary antibody: GARPO goat anti rabbit IgG (H+L) peroxidase (1:5000, Bio-Rad). Chemiluminescence signal was developed using the Clarity Max Western ECL substrate (Bio-Rad), detected using a ChemiDocMP imager (Bio-Rad) and the signal quantified by ImageJ software.

HeLa cells were changed from normal growth medium to EBSS to induce amino acid starvation-dependent autophagy. After 7 h, cells were harvested in Laemmli buffer and analysed by Western blot with antibodies against p62 (rabbit polyclonal, Sigma-Aldrich, P0067) and gamma-tubulin (mouse monoclonal, Sigma-Aldrich, T5326). The levels of p62 were measured by quantifying the ratio of p62 to tubulin signals with ImageJ.

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.
