Following euthanization, left lobes were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, stored at 4 °C overnight for fixation of the tissue, mounted in paraffin, and 5 µm sections were affixed to glass microscope slides for histopathology as previously described [61] . Sections were prepared for immunofluorescence by deparaffinizing with xylene and rehydrating through a series of ethanols. For antigen retrieval, slides were heated for 20 min in 95 °C pH 6.0 sodium citrate buffer with 0.05% TWEEN-20 then rinsed in dH2O. Sections were then blocked for 1 h in 1% BSA in PBS, followed by incubation with primary antibody for PDIA3 (LSBio, LS-B9768) at 1:300, overnight at 4 °C. Slides were then washed 3 × 5 min in PBS, incubated with Alexafluor 647 at 1:1000 in 1% BSA, and counterstained with DAPI in PBS at 1:4000 for nuclear localization. Sections were imaged using a Zeiss 510-META confocal laser-scanning microscope. Images were captured at x40 magnification in oil immersion. The image files were converted to Tiff format. Brightness and contrast were adjusted equally in all images.

Epididymal and epithelial markers reported previously in the literature, including cysteine-rich secretory protein 1 (CRISP1), clusterin, AR, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), and cytokeratin 8 (CK8) (22 (link), 28 (link)–30 (link)) were examined in this study. Primary adult HEEs were grown to confluence on 12-mm circular glass coverslips and fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes. The cells were then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 15 minutes, followed by blocking in 1% bovine serum albumin for 30 minutes before immunocytochemistry. Antibodies used were to CRISP1 (1:100; Sigma HPA028445), clusterin (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology SC166907), cytokeratin 8 (1:400; Thermo Fisher Scientific PA532469), AR (1:300; Santa Cruz SC816), and CFTR (1:300; Cystic Fibrosis Foundation #570). Alexa Fluor 488–conjugated antirabbit IgG or Alexa Fluor 549 conjugated antimouse IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch) was used as the secondary antibody. Cells were counterstained with 6-diamino-2-phenylindole (Life Technologies) and mounted with the use of Fluorsave (Calbiochem). Samples were then analyzed with the use of a Leica DMR microscope or a Zeiss 510 Meta confocal laser scanning microscope.

Subcellular Localization of PARP1 and PARP2

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The full-length cDNAs of PARP1/2 and PARG1/2 were subcloned into the pDONR 207 vector (Invitrogen) and introduced into the destination vector pGWB405, resulting in constructs with C-terminal fusions to GFP under the control of 35S promoter. The sequence-verified constructs were transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101(pMP90) and transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves by infiltration. Confocal fluorescence microscopy was carried out at indicated times using a Zeiss 510 Meta confocal laser scanning microscope. Agrobacterium strains carrying 35S:PARP1-GFP and 35S:PARP2-GFP were also used to transform wild-type Col-0 Arabidopsis by floral dip [80 (link)]. Stable transgenic T2 lines were selected and the subcellular locations of PARP1 and PARP2 were examined by confocal microscopy.

Cholesterol Manipulation in Cell Imaging

For cholesterol depletion or loading studies, cells were incubated with methyl-β-cyclodextrin (MβCD) or the cholesterol-MβCD complex in Hank’s balanced salt solution (HBSS) supplemented with 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4. Briefly, the cell medium was removed, cells were washed twice with Tris-buffered saline (TBS) and incubated with cholesterol depletion buffer (0.5% MβCD in HBSS, 25mM HEPES, pH 7.4) or loading buffer (1 mM cholesterol in 0.5% MβCD in HBSS, 25mM HEPES, pH 7.4) at 37° for 30 min. Cells were washed once with TBS and HBSS and were imaged in HBSS, 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 on a Zeiss 510 META confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM).

At 30 min before killing mice, 200 μg TRITC-labeled BS-1 lectin (Sigma) was administered intravenously to stain perfused vessels. To create frozen sections, tissues or in vivo Matrigel were immersed in optimum cutting temperature compound and then frozen at −80 °C. Frozen tissues were cut by cryotome to a thickness of 10 to 50 μm. The following antibodies were used in overnight incubations: fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled antibody against α-smooth muscle actin (Sigma) for hindlimb muscle and TRITC-labeled antibody against α-smooth muscle actin (Sigma) for in vivo Matrigel. Tissues were imaged on a 510 META confocal laser scanning microscope (Zeiss, Jena, Germany). Samples were excited with 405, 458, 488, 514, 543 or 633 nm laser lines with a BP420-480, LP505, BP560-615 and LP650 chroma filter set or a variable spectral setting with a meta-detector using Plan-Neofluar objectives (20 × /0.5 or 40 × /1.3 Oil). Three-dimensional stacks of the tissues were taken at 2–4 μm intervals spanning whole GFP (+) cells (20–40 μm). The pinhole settings were at 2.0 airy units. The Z-stack images were reconstructed as three-dimensional images or reformatted by projection view using Zeiss LSM image software.

Expressing RRP42-GFP Fusion in Arabidopsis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To express the RRP42-GFP fusion protein under the control of the 35S promoter, the full-length coding sequence except the stop codon was cloned from the cDNA of WT plants using the primers: GFP-LP (5′-TCTAGAATGGGGCTTTCTCTTGGGGA-3′) and GFP-RP (5′-GGTACCAGATTCGTCTTCGCAGGCCT-3′). The PCR products were fused to the pSuper 1300-GFP vector. The GFP is tagged at its C terminus. The protoplast extraction and plasmid transformation procedures were performed according to a previously described method (Kim and Somers, 2010 (link)). We used the floral dip method to obtain the stable Arabidopsis transformants, and putative transgenic plants were screened on MS plates containing 25 mg L-1 hygromycin. We used a Zeiss 510 META confocal laser scanning microscope to observe the GFP fluorescence of the transgenic plants and the RFP and GFP fluorescence of the transgenic protoplasts. To confirm that the localization of RRP42 was unaffected by GFP fusion, the 35S:RRP42 vector was transformed into the WT plants. The 35S:RRP42 stable Arabidopsis transformants displayed no obvious phenotype with the 35S:RRP42:GFP stable Arabidopsis transformants.

Cells were plated on glass coverslips (ø 13 mm, VWR) and incubated overnight. Cells were washed twice with PBS and fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 15 min. Cells were then washed twice with PBS and permeabilized for 10 min using 0.5% Triton X in PBS before being blocked with IFF (1% BSA, 1% FCS in PBS) for 1 h. Coverslips were incubated overnight with primary antibody at 4°C before being washed and incubated with fluorophore conjugated secondary antibody for 1 h. Coverslips were again washed twice with PBS and incubated in 1 μg/ml DAPI solution (Biotium) for 10 min, washed and mounted using Fluoromount G (Southern Biotech). DAPI was excited at 405 nm and emitted fluorescence (peak 465 nm) collected using 435–485 band pass filter and red fluorescence captured following excitation at 543 nm and collected using a 560 nm long pass filter. Images were acquired with a Zeiss 510 META confocal laser scanning microscope using a 63× oil immersion objective.

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.
