Cells exposed to the indicated treatment were fixed with ice-cold 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde (PFA, Sigma–Aldrich) for 15 min and then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 (Sigma–Aldrich) for 20 min at RT. After blocking with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Sigma–Aldrich) for 30 min, specific primary antibodies, namely, anti-HTNV NP 1A8 mouse monoclonal antibody (prepared and maintained by our laboratory; 1:50 dilution) and anti-SREBP2 rabbit polyclonal antibody (Abcam, ab30682; 1:50 dilution), were added and incubated overnight at 4°C. After five washes with DPBS, the secondary antibodies, namely, FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Abcam, ab6785) and Cy3-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Abcam, ab6939), were used for detection (incubation at 37°C for 1 h). Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (Thermo Fisher, D9542) for 5 min at RT. After sealing with ProLong™ Gold Antifade Mountant (Thermo Fisher, P36930), the samples were observed using a fluorescence microscope (A1R-HD25, Nikon).

Mosquito Stylet Immunostaining Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
7 to14 day-old mosquitoes were anesthetized on ice. Stylets were dissected and placed directly into a 24 well-plate containing 4% paraformaldehyde, 0.1 M Millonig’s Phosphate Buffer (pH 7.4) and 0.25% Triton X-100. All subsequent steps were performed on a low-speed orbital shaker at room temperature. Samples were washed at least 4 times 15 min in PTx.2 (for 1L: 100 mL PBS 10x, 2 mL TritonX-100) before placed overnight in iDISCO permeabilization solution (for 500 mL: 400 mL PTx.2, 11.5 g glycine, 100 mL DMSO) (Renier et al., 2014 (link)). Samples were then incubated in iDISCO PTwH solution (for 1L: 100 mL 10x PBS, 2mL Tween-20, 1 mL of 10mg/mL Heparin stock solution) with 5% DMSO for at least 2 days at room temperature with the following reagents: (1) 1:20 AlexaFluor 594 phalloidin (ThermoFisher #A12381) (Figure 3F) or (2) 1:20 AlexaFluor 488 phalloidin (ThermoFisher #A12379) and 1:500 DAPI (Millipore Sigma #D9542) (Figure S2D) or (3) 1:20 AlexaFluor 647 phalloidin (ThermoFisher #A22287) (Figure S2G) or (4) 2 mg/mL FITC (Millipore Sigma #1.24546) (Figure S2A). Samples were then washed at least 4 times 15 min with PTx.2 solution and mounted in Vectashield. If a sample contained AlexaFluor 647, it was mounted in SlowFade instead of Vectashield because this fluorophore was better preserved in this mounting medium.

After recording, fish were deeply anesthetized with a concentrated
solution of MS:222 (1:10,000) and perfused through the heart with a teleost
Ringer solution followed by a fixative, consisting of 4% paraformaldehyde in
0.1 M phosphate buffer. The brains were postfixed for 12–24 h,
cryoprotected with 30% sucrose, and sectioned at 60 mm on a cryostat.
Sections were subsequently processed with an Alexa Fluor 488 Streptavidin
complex (Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories; Antibody ID - AB_2337249; at
1:500) to label the biocytin filled cells, and DAPI (Sigma Aldrich # D9542;
at 1:1000) and NeuroTrace 640 (ThermoFisher Scientific #N21483; at 1:500) to
visualize the layers of ELL. Sections were then mounted on slides, dried of
excess PBS, and coverslipped with either VectaShield Antifade (Vector
Laboratories # H-1000-10) or Molecular Probes™ ProLong™
Diamond Antifade Mountant (Fisher Scientific; Molecular Probes™
P36965). Morphologically recovered neurons were inspected and subsequently
photographed using a confocal microscope (Inverted Nikon A1R point-scanning
laser confocal microscope with high-sensitivity GaAsP detectors) with either
a 20× air objective or a 40× oil immersion objective. Images
were collapsed along the Z-dimension implementing the maximum brightness per
pixel. Each fluorescence channel was pseudo-colored as specified in Figure 2.

Measuring Cell Invasion Using Matrigel Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure invasion, a two-chamber assay was performed. To this end, 40,000 cells were seeded in 50% Matrigel in collagen-coated inserts for 24-well plates (BD, 353097, 8 µm pore size). Serum-free medium ± TGFβ was added to the chamber, while fetal bovine serum-containing growth medium was provided in the wells. Matrigel was removed after 48 h incubation, cells were fixed by 20 min 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) at room temperature (RT) prior to 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) staining (Sigma-Aldrich, D9542; 1:2000) and mounting (Thermo Scientific, 9990402).

For each tumoroid model (RMS127 and RMS444), viably frozen cells were thawed and resuspended in BM1* medium. Prior to sorting, 4′,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (DAPI, Sigma‐Aldrich, #D9542) and DRAQ5 (Thermo Fisher, #65‐0880‐92) were added to the single‐cell suspensions to achieve final concentrations of 1 and 5 μM, respectively. Viable single‐cells (DAPI, DRAQ5+, FSC/SSC) were then sorted into 384‐well plates (BioRad, #HSP3801) containing 10 μl of mineral oil (Sigma, #M5310) and 50 nl of barcoded RT primers using a SONY SH800S Cell Sorter. Libraries were prepared according to the SORT‐seq protocol (Muraro et al, 2016 (link)) and sequenced on the Illumina NextSeq500 (paired‐end, 75 bp).

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.
