Cell Morphology and Proliferation Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell morphology and proliferation were assessed at days 1, 3, and 5 after seeding. For cell morphology assessment, live cells were stained with Calcein AM (2 μM) and cell nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342 (1:1000). The stained cells were observed using Olympus FluoView FV1000 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). Cell proliferation was measured using Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA assay kit (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. First, the total DNA content was extracted and purified from the samples using QIAamp DNA mini kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). The DNA content solution was then stained with PicoGreen fluorescent nucleic acid dye. The relative fluorescence intensity was quantitatively measured at 480 nm excitation and 520 nm emission using a Synergy H1 hybrid microplate reader (Bio-Tek Instruments, Winooski, VT, USA). Equal number of cells cultured under same conditions were used as controls. All experiments were performed in triplicate.

The cells were excited by a 405-nm laser diode, and CFP and Venus were detected at 480–500 nm and 515–615 nm wavelength ranges, respectively. The images were obtained using an Fluoview
FV1000 confocal microscope with an oil-immersion UPLSAPO objective (NA=1.35) (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany). Using the FRET application, the fluorescence intensities from CFP and Venus channels
were obtained from individual fluorescence-expressing cells. All image analyses were performed using ImageJ (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).
The fluorescence intensities of cytoplasmic areas in cells were obtained manually by tracing the cytoplasm, using drawing tablet (Wacom) for BVDV, EMCV, and JEV-infected cells. The
corrected total cell fluorescence (CTCF) from Venus and CFP channel was then calculated using the formula: Integrated Density−(Area of selected cell) × (Mean fluorescence of background
readings). Each Venus/CFP emission ratio was calculated by dividing the CTCF of a Venus image with a CFP image.

In the gnotobiotic system, the plants were taken out from the semisolid agar medium after inoculation for certain times. Plant root surfaces were rinsed with sterile water and then were directly observed under the laser confocal (Olympus FluoView™ FV1000 confocal microscope or Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope). Some tissues of roots, stems and leaves were sectioned in longitudinal and transverse directions to examine the colonization of GFP-labelled P. polymyxa WLY78. In the soil system, the plants were taken out from the soil, rinsed with sterile water and observed directly under the laser confocal. The resulting images were obtained using the FV10-ASW 4.0 Viewer software or Zen 2012 software.

Quantification of Intestinal Organoid Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Organoid images were taken using a Keyence BZ9000 microscope. Intestinal tissue sections were imaged using either a Olympus Fluoview FV-1000 confocal microscope or a Zeiss LSM780 confocal microscope. Images were processed using Adobe Photoshop CS5. Antibody-positive cells were quantified as the total number of labeled cells/total number of DAPI+ nuclei present in a crypt section. Twenty crypts were sampled per animal for the quantification of Ki67, phosphorylated histone H3 (pHH3), phosphorylated c-JUN (pJUN), Caspase3, or FUCCI reporters, with 3–4 animals/organoid lines examined per condition. Paneth cells were quantified as the number of lysozyme-positive cells per crypt in 30 crypts sampled from 3 animals of each genotype. Goblet cells were quantified as the number of alcian blue–positive cells in 10 villi field of views (×20 objective) per animal from 3 animals of each genotype. Crypts were counted by sampling 10 regions of 1 mm from 6 animals of each genotype. Quantification of data shown in Figures 1B, 2A, 3A, and 3C was done at the time point ZT4.

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.
