Whole heads from embryos at E17.5 were sectioned sagitally at 7μm. Sections were then stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Briefly, for depariffinization and rehydration, sections were passed through three changes of xylene followed by washes through reducing grades of ethanol. Slides were then incubated in Gill’s Hematoxylin No. III (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 1.5 minutes, washed briefly in tap water, and incubated in a 1% Eosin solution (Eosin Y-VWR, West Chester, PA) for 1.5 minutes. To dehydrate, slides were passed through increasing grades of ethanol. Lastly, slides were mounted using Permount mounting media (VWR, Radnor, PA). Stained sections were imaged using a Nikon 90i upright microscope.

Visualizing antibiotic-induced changes in E. coli

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following the protocol of Nonejuie et al. (2013) (link), overnight E. coli lptD4213 cultures were diluted 1:100 in LB and grown at 30°C for 90 minutes on a roller drum. Each culture was then treated with 5X the MIC and incubated at 30°C with slight agitation. Following antibiotic treatment, cells were stained with 0.5 μM SYTOX Green, 1 μg/mL FM4–64, and 2 μg/mL DAPI for incubated for 10 minutes. Each stained culture was then centrifuged at 3220 rcf. for 40 s and resuspended in 1/10 volume of LB. Cells spotted onto a 1.2% agarose pad in 20% LB medium for imaging. Images were collected on a Nikon 90i upright microscope equipped with a 100X 1.4 N.A. objective (Nikon Instruments Inc., Melville, NY) and a RoleraXR (Photometrics, Tucson, AZ) camera. Microscope control and image acquisition were performed in NIS Elements.

Histological Examination of TEVG Explants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Explant segments intended for histological staining were sliced into 5 μm sections and stained for cell and elastin distribution using H&E and Verhoeff van Gieson (VVG) staining, respectively. Staining was performed by the Histology Core at the McGowan Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Stained sections were imaged using a Nikon 90i upright microscope. Prior to sectioning the explant for histological examination, the carotid artery tissue was separated from the TEVG along the anastomosis to ensure that sections L1–L7 reflect the structure of the explanted graft.

DNA Damage Response Imaging Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The cells were plated on coverslips, irradiated with 5 Gy if indicated, and collected at varying time intervals. At collection, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 min at RT, followed by 3 washes in PBS. After blocking in 1% BSA and 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 1 h at 37 °C, the cells were incubated with 53BP1 (NB100-304, Novus Biologicals), or Anti-phospho-Histone H2AX (Ser139) clone JBW301(05-636, Millipore) antibodies (1:3000 dilution), overnight at 37 °C. Three washes in PBS were carried out followed by incubation for 1 h at 37 °C with the appropriate secondary antibodies. The final washes in PBS were carried out, the cells were counterstained with DAPI and coverslips were mounted on slides using gervatol mounting medium. Fluorescent micrographs were taken using a Nikon 90i upright microscope. These experiments were performed in triplicate.

Transcripts for TFAP2C, EPAS1, SNAI1, PLAC8, and CDH1 were localized within human first trimester placental tissue sections. RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent Reagent Kit version 2 (Advanced Cell Diagnostics) was used for in situ hybridization analysis. Probes were prepared to detect TFAP2C (NM_003222.3, 515921, target region: 664–1596), EPAS1 (NM_001430.4, 410591, target region: 1332–2354), SNAI1 (NM_005985.3, 560421, target region: 17−1233), CDH1 (NM_004360.3, 311091-C2, target region: 263–1255), and PLAC8 (NM_016619.3, 858491-C2, target region: 5–1448). CDH1 and PLAC8 probes were used to identify cytotrophoblast/trophoblast progenitor cells and differentiated EVT cells of the EVT cell column, respectively48 (link),49 .

In dual-treatment experiments (Figures 6A and S6), overnight E. coli lptD4213 cultures were diluted 1:100 and grown to early-mid exponential phase (OD600 = 0.4–0.6). Each culture was then diluted 1:10 into fresh LB and treated with the desired concentration of antibiotic for 10 minutes. Following antibiotic treatment, cells were stained with 0.5 μM SYTOX Green, 1 μg/mL FM4–64, and 2 μg/mL DAPI. Each stained culture was then spotted onto a 1.5% agar pad supplemented with casamino acids and glucose in M63 (15 mM (NH4)2SO4, 100 mM KH2PO4, 1.7 μM FeSO4, 0.5% glucose, 0.2% casamino acids, 1 mM MgSO4). Images were collected on either Nikon 90i upright microscope equipped with a 100X 1.4 N.A. objective (Nikon) or a Nikon Ti-E inverted microscope equipped with a 100X 1.4 NA objective. Both microscopes utilize an Orca Flash4 camera (Hamamatsu, Bridgewater, NJ). Microscope control and image acquisition were performed in NIS Elements (Nikon).

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.
