Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to define the intracellular localization of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled HPFN (designated as HPFN-FITC) in HeLa cells. To form HPFN-FITC conjugates, FITC was loaded into the HPFN. HeLa cells seeded in 60 mm-polystyrene plates (5 × 105 cells per dish) were treated with HPFN-FITC (24 µg mL−1) for 1 h, 3 h, and 6 h, and then stained with NucRed Live 647 ReadyProbes Reagent (Invitrogen, USA) for 15 min at 37 °C in the dark. The cells were washed twice with PBS (pH 7.4) and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min. The cells were then visualized using a Leica SP8 confocal microscope with 100/63× oil-immersion objective lens.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Carnoy’s fixation, 1 cm of colon was dissected from the mouse and unfolded into a square shape. The tissues were fixed using Carnoy’s fixative solution (10% glacial acetic acid, 30% chloroform, 60% ethanol, and 1 g ferric chloride) and embedded in frozen section medium (Leica Biosystems, Nussloch, Germany) at −80 °C for 1 h before storage at –20 °C. For further staining, we sectioned blocks into 6 μm using a cryotome (Leica Biosystems), fixed them in precooled (−20 °C) acetone for 2 min, and washed them in fresh PBS for 5 min. The tissues were incubated with Fc blocking antibody (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) for 30 min at room temperature and then with anti-Muc2 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 2 h at room temperature as well. After rinsing in fresh PBS, the tissues were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-IgG antibody (Abcam), counterstained with NucRed Live 647 ReadyProbes Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and observed under a Leica DMi8 microscope (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany).

NSC-34 control and MYO9A-depleted cells were seeded onto eight well glass bottom µ-slides (Ibidi) and transfected with the coding sequence of the TrkA receptor as in the recycling assay. After 24 h, a ROCK inhibitor (InSolution™ Y-27632—Calbiochem), was applied at 3nM in serum-free growth medium over-night and NucRed Live 647 ReadyProbes reagent (Invitrogen) was applied for visualization of nuclei. Cells were imaged using a Nikon A1R laser scanning confocal microscope over a period of ten minutes per cell, with z-stacks obtained. Resulting image series were then analysed using Imaris, with automatic detection of TrkA positive vesicles based on thresholding that was manually edited. Vesicles were then tracked by the software over-time and in 3D space to provide an output for speed the vesicles travelled, 10 cells were analysed per condition over three experimental repeats.

For cell transplant assays, APs were isolated and transplanted in WAT as previously described (Jeffery et al. 2016 (link); Rodeheffer et al. 2008 (link)). For mTmG samples, NucRed Live 647 ReadyProbes Reagent (Thermo Fischer, R37106) was used as live/dead stain at 1:600 dilution. VWAT and SWAT of AP-ERαKO animals were pooled and GFP expression confirmed via FACS. Recipient male C57Bl/6J mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and surgeries performed using sterile technique. 0.5–1 million ERαKO AP cells were re-suspended in 15uL of PBS and injected into the left SWAT of 4–5-week-old congenic wildtype mice. A control PBS injection was done in the right SWAT. Mice were allowed to recover for 2 weeks, then placed on a HFD and treated with BrdU for 1 week. Left and right SWAT tissues were collected and analyzed separately via flow cytometry for incorporation with BrdU. ERαKO APs were identified by GFP fluorescence. Results were counted only for transplants in which more than 100 individual GFP-positive donor AP cells were recovered in the recipient SWAT.
