Immunofluorescence Staining of DRG and Sciatic Nerve

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Just prior to staining, DRG sections were thawed and dried. All blocking and antibody incubations and washes were performed at room temperature in stationary humid chambers. Sections were incubated in PBT blocking agent (1X PBS, 0.1 % TritonX-100, 1% BSA, 1% donkey serum) for 2 hours, then overnight in primary antibodies diluted in PBT blocking agent. Two sections from each of the four treatment groups (vehicle paclitaxel, paclitaxel, vehicle eribulin and eribulin) were stained simultaneously with the same antibody solution. Stained slides were mounted using ProLong Gold Antifade mounting media with DAPI (ThermoFisher Scientific). Slides were stored at 4°C prior to and after imaging.
Sciatic nerve sections were grouped so that one section from each treatment condition was stained with the same antibody solution. Antibodies were diluted to the same concentrations used in DRG staining in PBT block. Sections were incubated free-floating, at 4°C for 7 days to promote antibody penetration, washed three times in PBT (10 minutes each wash) and then incubated in secondary antibody for two days. Sections were then washed three times, ten minutes each, as in the previous wash step and mounted onto glass slides with ProLong Gold Antifade mounting media with DAPI (ThermoFisher Scientific). Slides were stored at 4°C until imaging.

Cells were seeded and transfected on glass coverslips. 24 hr post-transfection, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 min, permeabilized by 0.1% Triton X-100 (or 5 μg/ml digitonin as indicated) for 5 min, blocked in PBS containing 2% goat serum and 2% BSA for 30 min, and incubated with primary antibodies in blocking solution for 2 hr at room temperature. After washes, cells were stained with fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies (Thermo Fisher) for 1 hr at room temperature, and then further washed. Coverslips were mounted on glass slides in ProLong Gold antifade mounting media with DAPI (Thermo Fisher) and sealed. Pictures were taken by an LSM 710 confocal microscope (ZEISS). Super-resolution images were taken by 3D-SIM using Deltavision OMX (GE Healthcare) or Airyscan using LSM 880 confocal microscope (ZEISS). To determine sub-mitochondrial localization of MOK2, transfected COS-7 cells were stained with 500 nM MitoTracker Red CMXRos and monitored with Hessian SIM microscopy as previously described (Huang et al., 2018 (link)). Time-lapse live-cell imaging was performed with a DeltaVision Elite Cell Imaging System (GE Healthcare).

Paraffin-embedded tumor sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for cell morphologic evaluation (Darmstadt, Cat No.PS103-01). Sections were imaged with a BX51 light microscope and analyzed using spot 5.0 software. For analysis of tumor blood vessel were perfused with 2MDa FITC-dextran (green) via a tail-intravenous injection of tumor-bearing mice. For immunofluorescence studies in tumor tissues, fixed frozen sections were blocked with 10% goat serum albumin, and incubated overnight with the following primary antibodies: CD31(1:50, Abcam, ab28364); α-SMA (dilution 1:100; Cat No. M0851 Dako), Ki67 (1:100; Abcam, ab16667), Ve-cadherin (1:50; eBioscience, 14–1449-82) and YY1 (dilution 1:100; Cat No.Ab109231, Abcam). For unconjugated antibodies, appropriate secondary antibodies (dilution 1:500; Sigma-Aldrich, Cat No.ab1507, Taufkirchen) were added on the following day, before mounting with Prolong Gold anti-fade mounting media with DAPI (Thermo Fisher, Cat No.D1306).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Indicated MCF-7 and T-47D cells (1 × 104) were plated on coverslips and after overnight culture, cells were treated with 1 µM OTX015 or DMSO for 24 hours followed by IR (4 Gy). 30 minutes and 120 minutes after IR treatment, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized using PBS with 0.3% Triton-X, and blocked with 5% goat normal serum. The coverslips were incubated overnight with Ser139 phosphorylated histone H2AX (γH2AX) antibody (1:1000 dilution; Cat #05-636, Millipore), followed by Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated anti-mouse antibody (1:200 dilution; Cat# A-21121, Thermo Fisher Scientific). The nuclei were counterstained and coverslips were mounted using ProLong Gold Antifade Mounting media with DAPI (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Images were captured by fluorescence microscopy (Zeiss, #LSM 880) and foci in the nucleus (at least in 40 nuclei for each treatment group of the experiment) were counted manually and plotted as the number of foci per nucleus.

Cells were washed and settled on Shandon Single Cytoslide slides by cytospin at 450 rpm for 5 min. Cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (CytoFIx, BD Biosciences) for 20 min at room temperature and then washed in PBS. Cells were then permeabilized with methanol (Perm Buffer III, BD Biosciences), washed in PBS and blocked with Blocking buffer (Sigma) for 30 min at room temperature. Slides were incubated overnight at 4°C with NFAT1 antibody (1:150) (CST). The following day, cells were washed three times with PBS and incubated for 1 hour at room temperature with Anti-rabbit IgG AF-647 secondary antibody (Invitrogen). Slides were washed with PBS, dried and mounted in Prolong Gold anti-fade mounting media with DAPI (ThermoFisher). Images were acquired with an Olympus IX3–55 and analyzed by CellSens imaging software (Olympus). Quantitative image analysis was conducted using QuPath 0.2.2 (Bankhead et al., 2017 (link)). Nuclei were first detected using QuPath’s implementation of StarDist, selecting the DAPI channel for nuclear detection. Objects too small to be cells were automatically removed. Next, manual curation of cells was conducted to remove incorrectly segmented objects. At least 50 cells were scored for each condition. Finally, the median nuclear Cy5 signal was used to determine positivity for NFAT1 within all cells.

MEF cells derived from Tp53bp1−/− Brca1Δ11/Δ11 mice (Bunting et al., 2010 (link)) were infected with 53BP1-expressing retroviruses. At approximately 70% confluence, cells were treated with DMSO or 1 μM of the PARPi olaparib (SelleckChem) for 24 hours. After this treatment, MEFs were arrested in mitosis by incubation with 0.2 μg/mL KaryoMax colcemid (Thermo Scientific) for 1 hour. Cells were then harvested by trypsinization, pelleted by centrifugation, and incubated with 75 mM KCl at 37°C for 30 minutes. After KCl incubation, cells were pelleted and fixed by dropwise addition of 500 μL Carnoy’s fixative (3:1 methanol and acetic acid). The mixture was further resuspended in 10 mL of fixative and stored at 4°C until preparation of slides. For metaphase analysis, fixed cells were pelleted by centrifugation and resuspended in 200-500 μL of fixative. Resuspended cells were dropped on glass coverslips, dried in ambient conditions, and coverslips were mounted using ProLong Gold Antifade mounting media with DAPI (Thermo Scientific).

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.
