Vesicle Motility Modulation Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MyoVin-1 (Millipore), Pentabromopseudalin (PBP, Fisher Scientific) or EGTA-AM (Millipore) were diluted in DMSO (Sigma-Aldrich) and stored at −20°C. Samples were incubated in imaging solution with 30 μM Myo-1 for 5–10 min or 5 μM PBP for 5 min, or 250 μM EGTA-AM for 20 min before dye loading. The effective final DMSO concentration was < 0.5%. Extended exposure to MyoVin-1 or PBP caused cell death, thus the bath solution during the experiment did not include Myo-1 or PBP. Our control measurements indicated that continuous presence of these blockers during the experiments did not have additional effects on vesicle motility beyond the effects of pre-incubation (data not shown).

Samples were incubated in imaging solution with 30 µM Myo-1 for 5–10 min or 5 µM PBP for 5 min, or 250 µM EGTA-AM for 20 min before dye loading. The effective final DMSO concentration was <0.5%. Extended exposure to MyoVin-1 or PBP caused cell death, thus the bath solution during the experiment did not include Myo-1 or PBP. Our control measurements indicated that continuous presence of these blockers during the experiments did not have additional effects on vesicle motility beyond the effects of pre-incubation (data not shown).

Latrunculin A (Sigma–Aldrich), 5‐(N‐Ethyl‐N‐isopropyl) amiloride (EIPA, Sigma–Aldrich), Ouabain (Sigma–Aldrich), Bumetanide (Ro 10–6338, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Rab7 inhibitior CID 1067700 (Sigma–Aldrich), MyoVin‐1 (Sigma–Aldrich), BAPTA (Sigma–Aldrich), BAPTA‐AM (Sigma–Aldrich), FTY720, 2‐APB and CAI (Tocris Biosciences), Calpain inhibitor I (Millipore Sigma) in dimethylsulfoxide and Gadolinium (III) Chloride (Sigma–Aldrich) in water were used. For all inhibition experiments, cells were incubated in cell culture media with drugs for a duration of 1 h (except Ouabain ≈2 h) and then, high viscosity media was added. Cells were then imaged over a span of 5 h for speed measurements or were incubated over a span of ≈4 h for immunostaining.

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.
