Mitochondria-enriched and cytosolic fractions were isolated from cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum and olfactory bulb of WT and Wdfy3+/lacZ mice as described before68 (link). Thirty-five µg of proteins were solubilized in SDS sample buffer (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and loaded onto a 4–12% bis-tris gel (Life Technologies) as previously described68 (link). After transferring proteins with an iBlot apparatus (Life Technologies), membranes were blocked with LI-COR blocking buffer (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE) for 1 h at 20 °C and subsequently probed overnight at 4 °C with the following antibodies: anti-Lamp2 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA; 1:1,000 dilution), anti-LC3 (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO; 1:1,000 dilution), anti-Mfn2 (Proteintech, Rosemont, IL; 1:500 dilution), anti-MnSOD (Millipore, Billerica, MA; 1:1,000 dilution), anti Sqstm1 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA; 1:500 dilution), anti-Park2 (Abcam; 1:500 dilution), and anti-Pink1 (Novus Biologicals; 1:1,000 dilution). As a loading control, we used anti-β-actin antibody (Sigma, St. Louis, MO; 1:20,000 dilution, 1 h at 20 °C). Secondary antibodies were from LI-COR (Lincoln, NE; 1:10,000 dilution). Membranes were visualized with the use of the Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR) and densitometry analysis carried out with ether the Carestream or ImageJ softwares.

Cells were grown on poly-L-lysine-coated coverslips for 24 hours before
fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde and washed with PBS prior to blocking in 1% FBS,
0.3% Triton X-100. Cells were incubated at 4 °C for
12 hours in blocking buffer with anti-PrP primary antibodies,
i.e. 3F4 and D18 (InPro Biotechnology) monoclonal antibodies. The
following day, cells were incubated for 1 hour with secondary antibodies
conjugated with AlexaFluor. For PrPC cell surface detection,
cells were incubated at 4 °C for 15 min and probed with
3F4 antibody. Cells were permeabilized with 0.2% Triton-X and stained with
AlexaFlour-488 secondary antibody. To detect Thioflavin-S (ThS)-positive
aggregates, transfected and non-transfected cells were fixed with 4% PFA/4%
sucrose/1% Triton X-100 in PBS. For organelle markers, we used anti-Calnexin (ER
marker), anti-EEA1 (early endosome marker), anti-Tfn (recycling endosome
marker), anti-M6PR (late endosomes marker) and anti-LAMP2 (lysosomes marker)
purchased from Abcam. Nuclei were stained with DAPI dye (VECTOR Laboratories).

Immunohistochemical analysis was administered as described previously [37 (link)]. First, 3-mm slices from pretreated myocardium tissue were placed in a bathing solution of 3% H2O2 and 60% methanol PBS for 30 min and then treated with 0.01 mol/L sodium citrate buffer at 95°C in a microwave oven for 13 min. Then, specimens were treated with 5% normal goat serum and 5% bovine serum albumin in PBS. Before each step, sections were rinsed three times in PBS buffer. Incubation with primary Anti-LAMP-2 (Abcam 1:50) and Anti-LC3 II (Santa Cruz,1:100) antibodies was performed in a PBS-based solution of 1% bovine serum albumin for 12 h at 4°C in the recommended dilutions. After rinsing with PBS, sections were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibodies for 30 min at room temperature. A streptavidin/horseradish peroxidase complex was then applied as a detection system (1:100 dilution) for 1 h. Finally, staining was developed with 3, 39-diaminobenzidine tetra-hydrochloride in 0.05 mol/L Tris-HCl buffer. The primary antibody incubation step was omitted in the negative control. All dates in this study were analyzed by software “Image Pro Plus” (Media Cybernetics Corporation, DC).

Protein levels of LAMP2, TFEB, TFE3, MITF, p62, GAPDH, and opsin were assessed using immunofluorescent staining. Seeding of the ARPE-19 cells was similar to that with LysoTracker® Red. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes. Primary antibody was added for 1 hr at room temperature after initial permeabilization and blocking step. Cells were washed twice in dPBS prior to the addition of secondary antibody, Dylight 488 goat anti-rabbit, or Dylight 550 goat anti-mouse and nuclear counterstain, Hoechst dye. Cells were visualized after several washes in PBS. Following antibodies were used: anti-LAMP2 (Abcam, cat. ab25631), -TFEB (Cell Signaling cat. 4240), -TFE3 (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. HPA023881),–MITF (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. HPA003259),-p62 (Cell Signaling cat. 7695) -GAPDH (Cell Signaling cat. 2118), and -opsin (Sigma-Aldrich, cat. O4886). The resultant images (> 6 images or more/well) were automatically captured and quantified using Thermo Fisher Scientific ArrayScan XTI (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA). Quantification of fluorescence intensity was conducted using cell health profiling algorithm, and the result is calculated as fold increase over vehicle control.

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.
