The cPass neutralization assay was performed with mouse sera, according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Genscript). A SARS-CoV-2 pseudo-virus neutralization assay was performed with rat sera at the Israeli Central Virology Lab (Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer, Israel). The propagation-competent vesicular stomatitis virus expressing cSARS-CoV-2 S protein and carrying the gene encoding green fluorescence protein (psSARS-2) was used in an assay similar to a recently reported assay [33] (link) shown to correlate well with an authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus micro-neutralization assay. Following titration, 100 focus forming units (ffu) of psSARS-2 were incubated with 2-fold serial dilutions of heat-inactivated (56 °C, 30 min) immune rat sera. After incubation for 60 min at 37 °C, the virus/serum mixtures were transferred to Vero E6 cells that had been grown to confluence in 96-well plates, and incubated for 90 min at 37 °C. Thereafter, 1% methyl cellulose in Dulbecco's modified eagle's medium (DMEM) with 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS) was added, and plates were incubated for 24 h, after which, 50% plaque reduction titre was calculated by counting green fluorescent foci using a fluorescence microscope (EVOS M5000, Invitrogen).

Two hours prior to euthanasia, mice were administered 5′-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (100 mg/kg; Sigma) i.p. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) liver sections were incubated with primary antibody at 4 °C overnight. Secondary antibody was applied for 1.5 h at room temperature, and nuclei were counterstained with DAPI. Ten high-powered fields (400×) were visualized, and 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU)-positive hepatocytes were counted on an immunofluorescence microscope (Invitrogen EVOS M5000).

HEK293, HEK293-derived stable cells, and HaCaT cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (Welgene) and 1× penicillin-streptomycin (Welgene). All cells were grown at 37°C with 5% CO2 under humidified conditions. For transfection, the Gene-Fect Transfection Reagent (Translab) was used following the manufacturer’s instructions. CELENA S (Logos Biosystems) and EVOS M5000 (Invitrogen) were used for the fluorescence imaging of living cells.

Cell lines were automatically counted with the BIORAD TC20 automated cell counter (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and 10,000 cells were plated in 200 µL of fresh media containing 10 nM E2 or EtOH in Ultra-Low Attachment (ULA) 96-well plates (Corning, Somerville, MA, USA). Pictures were taken with the EVOS™ M5000 imaging system (Invitrogen™, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) every 24 h for 5 days. The spheroid size was measured with ImageJ, and the average size relative to the respective negative control at day 1 was calculated. The experiments were performed in triplicate and repeated three times independently.

Perfusion-based Tissue Fixation and Cryosectioning

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Four months postinjection, mice were euthanized by transcardial perfusion under terminal anesthesia. In short, anesthetized mice were fixed in a supine position, and a thoracotomy was performed. First, 10 ml of PBS followed by 10 ml of 4% PFA was perfused into the left ventricle, and the right atrium was resected. As the fixative (PFA) enters, the body stiffens, and the liver turns pale, indicating a successful perfusion procedure. After perfusion, organs were harvested and incubated in 30% sucrose overnight at 4°C. The next day, organs were embedded in the optimal cutting temperature medium and stored at -80°C until cryo-sectioned. Cryo-sections (12 mm) were made with a cryostat microtome system (Leica, Germany) and stored at -20°C before antibody staining. Sections were permeabilized with 1x PBS containing 0.2% Triton-X for 20 minutes, stained with nuclear stain DAPI (1 in 10,000), and washed with 1xPBS (3 times) for 15 mins. Slides were imaged for native GFP signal and DAPI nuclear stain on a fluorescence microscope (EVOS M5000, Invitrogen).

1 × 104 cells were grown directly on coverslips and treated with the inhibitors. 24 h after treatment, cells were fixed using ice-cold methanol-acetone (1:1) for 15 min at −20 °C. Fixed cells were blocked with 3% BSA (in PBS) and stained for YB-1 (Abcam, #EP2706Y) followed by incubation with secondary anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated antibody (Invitrogen, #A11008). Slides were mounted with ProLong® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Thermo Fisher, #P36931). Images were taken with the AxioVert.A1 Microscope and Camera AxioCam ERc5s (Zeiss) or an Evos M5000 from Invitrogen.

MSCs were differentiated into osteogenic lineages, for which cells (P3) were seeded in triplicate, one as a negative control, onto 12-well plates at a density of 2 × 104 cells/well. After 48 h, the medium was switched to an inducing medium (StemPro Osteogenesis Differentiation Kit) or maintained in regular growth medium for a negative control sample. After 21 days, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and Ca2+ deposits stained with 1% Alizarin Red S (Acros Organics, New Jersey, United States). The plates were analyzed using an inverted microscope (EVOS M5000, Invitrogen).

Cells were then incubated at 37 °C with 5% CO2. After 24 h, the chambers were removed, and the culture media were replaced with fresh media containing 10 µM mitomycin C to stop cell proliferation and 10 nM E2 or EtOH. Pictures were taken with the EVOS™ M5000 imaging system (Invitrogen™, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) immediately (0 h) and every 6 to 12 h until the gap between the cells was filled. The wound area was measured with ImageJ and the percentage of wound area was calculated relative to the wound area at 0 h of migration. The experiments were performed in triplicate and repeated three times independently.

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.
