Immunohistochemical Analysis of Pediatric Brain Tumors

Paraffin sections of brain or tumor tissues were used for hematoxylin
and eosin staining as well as immunostaining. BrdU (10 mg/kg; B5002;
Sigma-Aldrich) was injected subcutaneously in Utx+/+and UtxF/F Atoh1-Cre SmoM2 mice at P13. Mice were
harvested 24 hours later, and their brains were fixed in 4% PFA at 4 °C
overnight. The fixed brains were subject to subsequent double immunofluorescent
staining of BrdU and HuC/D. For systematic CD3 T cell quantification, every
5th section throughout the tumor tissue was used to determine the
total number of T cells in each tumor sample (n=5 for
Utx+/+ tumors and n=3 for
UtxF/F tumors). The antibodies used were
against Ki67 (eBioscience), CD3 (ab16669, Abcam), UTX (33510, Cell Signaling
Technology), BrdU (G3G4, DHSB), HuC/D (ab184267, Abcam), microtubule-associated
protein 2 (MAP2, M9942, Sigma), NEUROD2 (ab104430, Abcam), NeuN (ABN78,
Millipore) and beta III Tubulin (TUBB3, ab78078, Abcam). Bright-field images
were acquired using a Hamamatsu Nanozoomer 2.0 HT whole slide scanner at the
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Whole Brain Microscopy Facility.
Fluorescent images were acquired by a confocal system (Zeiss LSM710), and three
images were taken per tumor at 200x magnification and processed using
ImageJ.

Immunolabeling of Cerebral Organoid Slices

Cerebral organoid slices were fixed in 4% PFA for 20 minutes. Slices were blocked and permeabilized in 5% normal donkey serum 0.25% Triton X-100 for 1 hour at room temperature. Primary and secondary antibody mix was prepared in 5% normal donkey serum 0.1% Triton X-100 and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Samples were mounted in VECTASHIELD HardSet (Vector Laboratories) and mosaics (3 × 3 tiles) were acquired with CFI Apo LWD Lambda S ×40 objective (NA 1.15; WD 0.61–0.59, Nikon). Primary antibodies used included: sheep anti-EOMES (1:200, R&D Systems AF6166), chicken anti-GFP (1:500, Abcam Ab13970), mouse anti-Sox2 (1:500, Abcam Ab79351) and rabbit anti-NeuroD2 (1:500, Abcam Ab104430).

NEUROD2 ChIP-Seq Reveals Differential Binding

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Previously published NEUROD2 ChIP-Seq data were used to identify differential NEUROD2 binding to genomic regions at timepoints E14.5 and P026 (link),27 (link). These data were generated using three separate NEUROD2 antibodies (Abcam ab168932, ab104430 and ab109406). Histone ChIP-Seq datasets from E14.5 mouse embryonic cortex were produced by Bing Ren’s Laboratory, UCSD, USA51 (link) (www.encodeproject.org). ChIP-Seq peaks were visualized using Trackster52 (link) embedded within the Galaxy Project53 (link). Details of Closest Gene score calculations were previously described27 (link).

Immunofluorescent Labeling of Cryosectioned Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We fixed tissue samples in 4% paraformaldehyde for 16 h, cryoprotected them in 30% sucrose, and embedded them in optimal cutting temperature compound (Thermo Scientific). Then, 40-μm cryosections were collected on Superfrost slides (VWR) using a Leica CM3050S cryostat. Primary antibodies rabbit anti-NEUROD2 (1:500, Abcam ab104430), mouse anti-TNNT2 (1:100, Abcam ab8295), rabbit anti-GFAP (1:250, Sigma G9269) were diluted in blocking buffer containing 10% donkey serum, 0.5% Triton X-100 and 0.2% gelatin diluted in PBS at pH 7.4. Binding was revealed using an appropriate Alexa FluorTM 488, Alexa FluorTM 594, or Alexa FluorTM 647 fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibody (Life Technologies). Cell nuclei were counter-stained using DAPI (Life Technologies). Images were collected using an Olympus FV1000 confocal microscope.

Immunostaining of Neural Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were perfused transcardially with ice-cold 4% paraformaldehyde (in PBS). Brains were removed and post-fixed overnight at 4 °C with the same fixative. Coronal sections were cut at 50 μm thickness for all histological analyses except for dendritic reconstructions (200 μm), using a cryostat (Leica) or a sliding microtome (Microm).
Immunofluorescence experiments were performed as described before [70 (link)]. Briefly, free-floating sections were blocked and permeabilized for one hour in a blocking buffer composed of 10% Normal Goat Serum, 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma) in PBS. Primary antibodies, diluted in blocking solution and added overnight at 4 °C, were as follows: rabbit anti-NEUROD2 (1:500, Abcam, #ab104430), rabbit anti-TBR1 (1:1000, Abcam, #31940), rat anti-BCL11B (1:100, Abcam, #ab18465), rabbit anti-CUX1 (1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, #sc13024), mouse anti-RORβ (1:200, Perseus Proteomics, #PP-N7927-00), chicken anti-GFP (1:500, Aves, #GFP-1010). For immunocytochemistry we used mouse anti-Tuj1 (1:500, Biolegend, BLE801201). Corresponding fluorescently labeled secondary antibodies (AlexaFluor, Invitrogen) were added for 2 h in blocking solution at room temperature. Hoechst was added in PBS for 10 min, and sections were mounted on microscope slides that were coversliped using Mowiol solution (Sigma).

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.
