Analysis of Zn2+ uptake into cells was performed as previously described [29] (link). Cultured cells were incubated with 18 nM ZnCl2 in serum-free MEM that contained no detectable levels of Zn2+ for 60 min at 37°C in a humidified and equilibrated (5% v/v CO2) incubation. After washing with PBS, the cells were loaded with 5 µM zinc fluorescent sensor, Newport Green DCF (Invitrogen), for 30 min at 37°C in a humidified and equilibrated (5% v/v CO2) incubation. The cells were washed with PBS and the fluorescent intensities of the cells were analyzed using a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, CA, USA) at 488 nm laser excitation and a 515-545 nm emission filter.

Isolation and Analysis of Hepatocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We isolated hepatocytes from yellow catfish liver tissues according to our recent publications [12 (link)]. After 48 h incubation, intracellular Zn and LD were detected based on the protocols of our previous studies [12 (link),31 (link)]. For detection of intracellular Zn2+ concentration, cells were incubated with 1 μM Newport Green DCF (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 30 min. For intracellular LD staining, cells were incubated with 5 mg/mL Bodipy (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 30 min. Fluorescence was imaged using laser scanning confocal microscopy (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). We used the commercial assay kits (Nanjing Jian Cheng Bioengineering Institute, Nanjing, China) to analyze intracellular TG content. The mRNA levels of genes involved in lipid metabolism were examined by quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR). Primers are given in the Supplementary Table S6.

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.
