Palbociclib Release from Lysosomes

Palbociclib release from lysosomes was tested both on SK-Mel-103 and Saos2 cells. The cells were pre-treated with 1 µM palbociclib for 7 days and then seeded in a 6-channels flow chamber slides (IBIDI μSlide IV) in the presence of 4 μM palbociclib. The following day, a flux assay (200 μl/min) was performed simultaneously in two channels, injecting in one channel drug-free media and palbociclib (4 µM) in the other one. For the analysis of palbociclib uptake SK-Mel-103 were pre-treated with 1 µM palbociclib for 7 days and then seeded in a 6-channels flow chamber slides (IBIDI μSlide IV) in the absence of palbociclib. The following day, media containing palbociclib (4 µM) was continuously fluxed through the cultures (200 μl/min). Pictures were taken every 10 minutes with a DMI6000B microscope (Leica microsystems): 405 nm excitation and detection with a 500–550 nm filter. The fluorescence signal of the cells and the background in each frame was quantified with ImageJ. At least 10 individual cells were analyzed in each experimental condition.

Neutrophil NETosis and Microparticle Interactions

Neutrophils were isolated on a Percoll gradient from WT mouse bone marrow. Neutrophils were then stimulated with 50 μM Platelet Activating-Factor-16 (PAF, Merck Chemicals), a potent inducer of NETosis released by many cells involved in host defense [36 (link)]. The cells were washed with PBS, incubated with DiD-labeled Panc02-derived MPs (2μg/ml final) for 10 minutes at 37°C and washed again. The preparation was then fixed and stained with Hoescht-33342 before visualization on a motorized Leica DMI6000 B fluorescence microscope in conjunction with a CCD Hamamatsu Orca Er2 camera. For each independent experiment, 3 wells were analyzed per condition and at least 3 random photographs were taken per well. Representative pictures were then chosen for each condition. Flow experiments were performed in flow chambers (μ-Slide IV, IBIDI) at a flow rate of 100s−1. If indicated, DNase-1 (50U/ml, Pulmozyme, Roche) was added before MP perfusion. MP binding was visualized using a motorized Leica DMi8 fluorescence microscope in conjunction with a Leica DFC3000G camera. MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices) was used for digital acquisition.

RGC-5 cells were grown in μ-slide IV (Ibidi GmbH, München, Germany) over night and subsequently washed with PBS. Then the cells were fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde (15 min), incubated with 0.25% Triton-X-100 in PBS (12 min), washed 3× with PBS and treated with 1% BSA (20 min). After incubating the cells with 2 µg/ml sheep polyclonal anti-γ-synuclein abs over-night they were gently washed 3× with PBS and incubated with rabbit anti sheep IgG-H&L conjugated with FITC for 1.5 h. They were visualized with Leica fluorescence microscope using Lucia G/F software after washing them with PBS. To investigate the ab uptake in living cells the cells were incubated with 15 µg/ml sheep polyclonal anti-γ-synuclein abs and washed with PBS. The cell membrane was visualized using wheat germ agglutinin.

Visualizing 14-3-3 sigma in RGC-5 cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RGC-5 cells were grown in μ-slide IV (Ibidi GmbH, Munich, Germany) and subsequently washed with PBS. Then the cells were fixed with 3 % paraformaldehyde for 15 min and incubated with 0.25 % Triton-X-100 for 12 min. After 3 wash steps with PBS, the cells were treated with 1 % bovine serum albumin for 20 min. Afterwards, the cells were incubated with 2 μg/ml rabbit polyclonal anti 14-3-3 sigma antibodies overnight, then gently washed 3 times with PBS and incubated with Goat polyclonal secondary antibody to rabbit IgG-H&L conjugated with FITC for 1.5 h. After 3 washing steps with PBS the cells were visualized with a fluorescence microscope (Leica Microsystem, Heidelberg, Germany). To investigate the antibody uptake in living cells, the cells were preincubated with 10 μg/ml rabbit polyclonal anti 14-3-3 sigma abs for 3 h and then washed with PBS to remove unbound antibodies. Controls were preincubated with medium not containing the polyclonal anti 14-3-3 sigma abs. The cells then were treated as described above and visualized with a Leica fluorescence microscope and using Lucia G/F software.

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.
