Following functional analysis, cells were fixed in a 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution for 15 min. Cells were rinsed three times with PBS and then permeabilized in a PBS solution containing 0.1% Triton X-100 for 20 min. Cells were then incubated in a blocking buffer (5% donkey serum with 0.1% bovine serum albumin in PBS) for 20 min. Cells were incubated overnight at 4°C in a primary antibody solution containing the blocking buffer and an antibody against MyHC all classes (DSHB A4.1025) at a 1:10 dilution. On the following day, the primary antibody solution was removed and the cells were rinsed with 3 × 10-min washes in PBS. Cells were then incubated with a secondary antibody solution for 2 hr. This solution contained blocking buffer, donkey-anti-mouse-488 (Invitrogen) diluted 1:250, and phalloidin 568 at 1:40 dilution (Invitrogen). The phalloidin was used for actin filament visualization. After this incubation, cells were rinsed three times with PBS, with 10 min in between each rinse. The second rinse contained a 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) solution (1:10,000 in PBS; Life Technologies, New York, NY) for visualization of nuclei.

For sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) cell lysates of CG4, CG4_venus, and CG4_wt-α-syn cells (n = 3 each) were extracted using RIPA buffer and 15 μg of proteins were loaded on a 4-12 % Novex® NuPAGE Bis-Tris-Mini gels (Invitrogen) and afterwards transferred on a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane (Immobilon PVDF-FL, 0.45 μm; Millipore).

Immunohistochemical Detection of Glut1 in EAE

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used immunostaining to detect the glucose transporter 1 (Glut1). Optically cleared spinal columns (n = 6 control, n = 5 EAE) were rehydrated in decreasing methanol/H2O series (100%, 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, 1 h each) and finally washed in 1 × PBS overnight, in order to partially reverse the clearing. Then, the lumbar region of the spinal cord was dissected out from the vertebral column and sectioned with a vibratome (100 µm thickness). Selected coronal lumbar spinal cord sections were histochemically stained. Briefly, a blocking solution (0.3% Triton X-100, 5% BSA, and 1% serum) was applied for one hour at room temperature (RT) to minimize unspecific antibody binding. Then, the primary antibody anti-Glut1 (MABS132, 1:250) was allowed to label the tissue overnight at 4 ◦C under gentle shaking. The next day, sections were washed three times with 1 × PBS before incubating with the secondary antibody (Donkey Anti-mouse 488, Invitrogen, 1:500) for 90 min at RT under gentle shaking. Following that, three washes with 1 × PBS, 40,6-diamidin-2-fenilindolo (DAPI, 1:1000) were performed before the sections were mounted.

Cells were seeded onto glass coverslips and allowed to attach for 24 h. Depending on the assay, they were grown for 2 d without treatment (for localization studies) or transfected with siRNA against PIAS1 or control siRNA (for siRNA efficiency studies and p21 expression experiments). Subsequently, the cells were again washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min. The cells were washed with PBS and permeabilized with PBS+1% bovine serum albumin+0.2% Triton X100 for 5 min. After 30 min blocking with PBS+1% bovine serum albumin, coverslips were incubated for 1 h with primary antibodies (PIAS1 [D33A7] XP® Rabbit mAb 1:50, Cell Signaling, Frankfurt am Main, Germany). After washing with TBS + 0.1% Tween20, coverslips were incubated with the following fluorescence-labeled secondary antibodies: goat anti-rabbit 555 and donkey anti-mouse 488 (all Invitrogen). Coverslips were finally washed with TBS and mounted with Vectashield Hard Set mounting medium containing DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) on glass slides. The cells were visualized using fluorescent microscopy on an Axio Observer Z1 microscope (Carls Zeiss AG, Overkochen, Germany).

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.
