Cells were plated in 35-mm glass bottomed culture dishes (Mattek), and were cultured overnight. The cells were then left untreated (DMSO) or treated with 10 μM Rucaparib or iRucaparib for 48 hrs before washing with PBS. Cells were fixed with 4% Paraformaldehyde for 15 min at RT and were washed three times with PBS. The cells were then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 min and were blocked with 1% BSA in PBS for 30 min. Fixed cells were incubated with a γH2AX antibody (1:200, Cell Signaling Technology, #9718) at 4℃ for overnight, washed three times with PBS for 5 min, and incubated with an Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (1:500, Thermo Fisher Scientific, A-11008) for one hour at RT.

After the treatment with DMSO or nimbolide, HeLa cells were washed once with 1× PBS and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at RT, followed by three times wash with 1× PBS. The cells were permeabilized with 0.25% Triton X-100 in 1× PBS for 10 min and blocked with 1× PBS containing 2% bovine serum albumin for 1 hour. Fixed cells were incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, followed by the incubation with the fluorescent secondary antibody for 1 hour at RT. Cells were washed three times with 1× PBS for 5 min and stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 2 min. DAPI was used to visualize the nuclei. Cells were washed with 1× PBS and mounted with the FluorSave reagent (Millipore). The fluorescence images were then collected with a Zeiss LSM 880 Airyscan inverted confocal microscope.

Confocal imaging of brain cryosections was performed using a Zeiss LSM880 airyscan inverted confocal microscope equipped with a 34-channel GaAsp (gallium arsenide phosphide) detector. 10–20 μm-thick z-stack images were acquired with a 20X/NA0.8 air objective or 40X/NA1.4 oil-immersion objective at 2048×2048-pixel resolution, z-step=1μm, line averaging=2, using ZEN Black (ZEISS Efficient Navigation) software (Zeiss). Maximal projections were rendered in Imaris V8.3 (Bitplane, Zurich, Switzerland). Number of cells and percentages of covered area were measured with ImageJ/Fiji [97 (link)]. Default automatic threshold was used, and manual adjustments were applied if necessary.

Time‐lapse imaging was performed using a Zeiss LSM880 + Airyscan Inverted confocal microscope using a 40× oil objective and a scan zoom of 4. Cells were cultured in glass‐bottomed culture dishes (Ibidi) and maintained at 37°C in an atmosphere supplemented with 5% CO2 using a ZL multi S1 Incubator box system. Drugs were added just before imaging with pre‐warmed OptiMEM (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing 10% FBS. Z‐stacks comprising of twenty 1 μm steps were acquired every 1 s for 1 min. Stacks were processed into maximum intensity projections and movies prepared using ImageJ (v.2.0.0).

Fixed or live embryos were selected for fluorescence signal, anaesthetized in E3 fish water (5 mM NaCl, 0.17 mM KCl, 0.33 mM CaCl2, 0.33 mM MgSO4, pH 7.4) with 1x tricaine (0.08%, Sigma) and mounted in glass bottom Petri dishes (MatTek) using 0.7% low-meltingpoint agarose (Sigma) containing 1x tricaine. For live-imaging, E3 with 1x tricaine and 0.003% 1-phenyl-2-thiourea (PTU, Sigma) to avoid pigmentation, was added to the dish. A Zeiss LSM880 Airyscan inverted confocal microscope was used for live-imaging and imaging of fixed samples. For fixed samples, the 40x (NA = 1.3) silicon oil objective was used. Z-stacks were made with a step size of 0.5 µm. For live imaging, the 25x (NA = 0.8) oil objective was used. Images were acquired with a zoom of 1-1.6 and z-stacks were made with a step size of 0.5 to 1.0 µm. Frames were acquired every 5-30 minutes. High resolution timelapse images were acquired with an Olympus SpinSR spinning disc microscope using a 30x
(NA = 1.05) oil objective (Photometrics). Frames were acquired every 1-2 minutes with a zstack step size of 0.7 µm. Images were analyzed with the ImageJ software.

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.
