Sourced in United States

Phalloidin-Atto 647N is a fluorescent dye used for the high-contrast visualization of F-actin in cells and tissues. It specifically binds to F-actin and can be detected using a fluorescence microscope. The Atto 647N fluorophore has an excitation maximum at 644 nm and an emission maximum at 669 nm, making it suitable for detection in the red/far-red range of the spectrum.

Neurons stained for actin with Atto 647N‐Phalloidin (1:40; Stock 10 nM, Sigma‐Aldrich, #65906) and pericentrin with anti‐rabbit Atto 594 (1:200; Sigma‐Aldrich) or anti‐rabbit Abberior Star 580 (1:200; Abberior GmbH Gottingen, Germany) were embedded in Mowiol and excited via the WLL at 650 and 561 nm, respectively. Emission was acquired between 660 and 730 nm for Atto 647N and 580–620 nm for Atto 594. The detector time gates for both channels were set from 0.5–1 ns to 6 ns. Both dyes were depleted with 775 nm. Respective confocal channels use the same settings as STED channels, except for a reduction of excitation power. Detection time gates were set from 300 ps to 6 ns for both channels. The Format for all images was set to 1,024 × 1,024. Optical zoom of five resulted in a voxel size of 23 nm for xy and 100–160 nm for z. Images where then taken with 600 lines per second and line averaging of 8.

MSS31 cells cultured in six-well plates were incubated with 5 μg/well of the NBD or the CBD peptide/atelocollagen complex or atelocollagen alone for 18 hours in Culture Slides (4 wells, BD Falcon) and were washed three times with DPBS and fixed for 10 minutes at 4 °C with 4% formaldehyde in DPBS. After permeabilizing with 0.5% Triton X-100 in DPBS for 4 minutes, the cells were treated with 3% bovine serum albumin in DPBS containing 0.1% glycine for 1 hour to block nonspecific binding sites. After washing with DPBS, the cells were incubated for 1 hour with primary antibodies, rinsed, and then stained with secondary antibodies. The primary antibodies used were polyclonal anti-S100A4, monoclonal anti-NMIIA antibody, monoclonal antivinculin antibody and polyclonal anti-integrin β1 antibody. The secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat antirabbit IgG (Invitrogen) or Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated goat antimouse IgG (Invitrogen). F-Actin was visualized with Atto 647N-Phalloidin (Sigma-Aldrich). Nuclei were stained with 1 μg/ml DAPI. The slides were mounted with VECTASHIELD Mounting Medium (Vector Laboratories). The cells were observed under a confocal laser scanning microscope (Fluoview FV1000, Olympus, Japan).

Direct and indirect immunofluorescence staining were performed on a 6 μm cryosection to evaluate the effect of decellularization on the ECM composition and to confirm the absence of nuclei. Native pericardium was used as the control. Before staining, samples were fixed in 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde (PFA) supplied by Bioptica.
The primary antibodies used were collagen I (1:100, C2456; Sigma), elastin (1:50, ab21610, Abcam), and collagen IV (1:200, ab6586, Abcam). The controls were incubated with 1% (w/v) bovine serum albumin, instead of primary antibodies. In order to reveal the primary antibody binding, secondary antibodies were applied in separate: goat-antimouse Alexa Fluor 555 (1:300, A21422; Invitrogen) and goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 555 (1:300, A27039; Invitrogen). Nuclei were stained by 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), following the producer’s instructions. Filamentous actin was fluorescently labelled with Phalloidin–Atto 647N (1:200, 65906, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA).
Images were acquired with an epifluorescence microscope Leica AF6000, connected to a Leica DC300 digital camera and equipped with LAS AF Software (Leica Micro-System, Wetzlar, Germany). Image processing was performed using the open-source ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
