Synaptosomes Oligomer Binding Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Synaptosomes were treated with AβO and/or TauO for binding challenges, and the binding percentages were evaluated with flow cytometry. After assessing that the binding of AβO and/or TauO was comparable among the single human cases (Supplementary method 2), we decided to pool together an equal number of synaptosomes isolated from each subject for practical purpose. We incubated 2 million of synaptosomes for 1 h at RT without oligomers (control) as well as with AβO tagged with HyLite Fluor 647 or/and TauO tagged with Alexa Fluor™ 488 NHS Ester (Thermo Fisher Scientific) at concentrations of 0–0.5–1–2.5–5–10 μM. Synaptosomes were then pelleted, washed three times with HBK buffer, and resuspended in HBK. Oligomer fluorescence positivity was acquired by a Guava EasyCyte 8 flow cytometer (EMD Millipore) and analyzed using Incyte software (EMD Millipore).

Evaluating Candida krusei Morphology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Candida krusei cells (105 CFU/ml) were treated in RPMI 1,640 buffered with hydrochloric acid to pH 4 with either 10 µM 3,6-PIRAMICAR or 250 µM fluconazole under the agitation of 180 rpm for 4 h at 37 °C. After incubation, the cells were harvested by centrifugation (1,000 rpm, 5 min 4 °C) and resuspended in 0.05 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0). Morphological changes of cells induced by treatment were assessment by illuminating cells by 480 nm light from an argon ionic laser and determining their position on a forward scatter (FSC) versus side scatter (SSC) contour plot using the Guava easyCyte 8 flow cytometer (Merck Millipore).

Glioma cells were transfected with the appropriate oligonucleotides and incubated for 72 h in an incubator under 5% CO2 at 37°C in six-well plates. The cells were harvested with pancreatic enzymes without EDTA and washed twice with precooled PBS. The cells were resuspended at a concentration of 1 × 105 cells/ml in 500 μl of binding buffer containing 5 μl of annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and 5 μl of propidium iodide (PI), according to the instructions of the manufacturer of the Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit (KeyGEN, Shanghai, China). After incubation for 15 min at room temperature in the dark, all the samples were analyzed within 1 h with a guava easyCyte 8 flow cytometer (EMD Millipore, USA). The data were analyzed with the De Novo software.

Differentiated iBACs were stained with the fluorescent dye Lysotracker DeepRed (excitation/emission 647/668 nm) according to the manufacturer's protocol (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Briefly, adipocytes were incubated for 30 min at 37 °C with 50 nM Lysotracker. Afterwards, cells were harvested and stained with Ghost Dye Red 780 (Tonbo Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA) to exclude dead cells and subsequently washed three times with PBS detached with trypsin, centrifuged at 1200 rpm for 5 min, and resuspended in PBS. To quantify the number of lysosomes, 1 × 105 cells, gated for living cells, were analyzed using a Guava Easy Cyte 8 flow cytometer (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). For confocal microscopy, cells were cultivated on cover slides in 6-well plates (Sarstedt, Nümbrecht, Germany) and stained with Lysotracker (described above). Afterwards, cells were imaged by confocal fluorescence microscopy using a Leica TCS SP5 confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) equipped with a Leica HCX 63 × 1.25 NA water immersion objective.

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.
