Mito-Ca2+ Levels in Oocyte Maturation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate mito-Ca2+ levels in maturated and fertilized oocytes, we performed fluorescence staining using Rhod-2 AM (ab142780; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) as a specific
mitochondria calcium detection dye. To identify Rhod-2 fluorescence expression in mature oocytes (44 h after IVM) and fertilized oocytes (3 h or 6 h after IVF), oocytes were washed
with 0.1% PBS-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and incubated in the dark at 38.5ºC and 5% CO2 for 15 min in IVF medium supplemented with 100 μM Rhod-2 dye. After Rhod2 treatment,
oocytes were washed three times in 0.1% PVA-PBS (w/v) and Rhod-2 fluorescence was measured using an iRiSTM digital cell imaging system (Logos Biosystems, Anyang, Korea).
Each sample was washed three times in 0.1% PVA-PBS. Washed presumptive zygotes were cultured in 50 μl of IVC medium mixed with 5 μM Mito-SOX (red fluorescence; Life Technologies,
Carlsbad, CA, USA) under mineral oil at 37°C for 30 min. To confirm the mitochondria localization, embryos cultured in 50 μl of IVF medium were mixed with 4 μg/ml Mito-Tracker
(Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) at 38.5ºC for 20 min. Each sample was washed three times in 0.1% PVA-PBS (Supplementary Fig. 5: online only). Mito-Tracker (green) and Mito-SOX (red)-positive cytoplasm in cells were detected using an iRiSTM digital cell imaging
system (Logos Biosystems).

Cell aggregation was analyzed as previously described (Zelante et al., 2012 (link)). Briefly, C. albicans cells were inoculated into 2 ml of PDB medium or RPMI-1640 medium at density of 105 CFU/ml in 14 ml test tubes with or without 6-gingerol or 6-shogaol and incubated at 37°C for 24 h with shaking at 250 rpm. Cell cultures (2 ml) were then transferred into glass-bottom dishes and observed. Aggregated cells were visualized in bright field using the iRiSTM Digital Cell Imaging System (Logos Bio Systems, Korea) at a magnification of 4x. At least, four independent experiments were conducted.

The C. elegans killing assay used was a modification of a previously described protocol (Beceiro et al., 2014 (link)). Briefly, non-infected nematodes (∼20–30) [fer-15(b26);fem-1(hc17)] were pipetted into 96-well plate containing M9 buffer and overnight curcumin (50 μg/ml) treated and untreated with A. baumannii and/or C. albicans cells. As a second dose curcumin was added to respective wells to make final concentration 50 μg/ml (total volume 300 μl). Nematodes were incubated at 25°C and viabilities were determined as previously described (Rajsekharan et al., 2018 (link)), by exposing them to LED or UV LED lights for 10–30 s using an iRiSTM Digital Cell Imaging System (Logos BioSystems, South Korea). Three independent experiments (n = ∼20–30) were conducted.

Cell aggregation and filamentous growth were investigated as previously described [18 (link)], C. albicans cells were inoculated in 1.5 mL of hyphae promoting RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum at a cell density of 105 CFU/mL in 1.6 mL tubes with or without alizarin (2, 10, or 50 μg/mL) and incubated under anaerobic conditions at 37 °C for 24 h. After incubation, aggregated cells and filamentous growths were analyzed using the iRiSTM Digital Cell Imaging System (Logos Biosystems, Anyang, Korea) under bright field at 4× and 10× magnifications. At least four independent experiments were performed.

To investigate filament induction on solid media, C. albicans cells from glycerol stock, were plated on PDA agar plates including 10% fetal bovine serum supplemented with DMSO [less than 0.1% (vol/vol)] or methylindoles at 0.1 mM. Plates were then incubated for 6 days at 37°C, during which fungal colony morphologies were photographed after 2 days of interval using an iRiSTM Digital Cell Imaging System (Logos Biosystems, South Korea).

C. elegans assays were performed as reported previously [19 (link)]. In brief, noninfected C. elegans fer-15; fem-1 worms (n = ~ 20–30) were pipetted into single wells of a 96-well plate suspended in M9 buffer.

To investigate the effects of herring oil and unsaturated fatty acids on the virulence of S. aureus MSSA 6538, we used a nematode survival assay as previously described (Kim et al., 2016 (link)) with slight modification. In brief, S. aureus cells were incubated with or without herring oil, DHA, or EPA (2, 5, or 20 μg/ml) at 37°C for 24 h and synchronized adult C. elegans fer-15;fem-1 nematodes were added into single wells of 96-well plate containing cultivated S. aureus cells. Approximately, 30 nematodes were allowed to feed on the cultured S. aureus MSSA 6538 at 25°C for 1 day.
For the cytotoxicity assay, 110 ± 10 nematodes were added into single well of 96-well plates containing M9 buffer and solutions of the compounds were added to final concentrations of 20 or 100 μg/ml at 25°C for 1 day. Then, nematodes were scored as alive or dead using an iRiSTM Digital Cell Imaging System (Logos Bio Systems, South Korea).

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.
