Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Apoptotic and necrotic cell death were characterized by the use of Hoechst 33342 staining (Molecular Probes). Cells were stained with 0.5 μg/ml Hoechst 33342 for 30 min at 37°C. After washing the cells twice with phosphate buffered saline, the cells were examined under UV light with a digital camera attached to a fluorescence microscope. Apoptotic cells were characterized by fragmented and/or condensed nuclei and necrotic cells by diffuse and irregular nuclei.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cell apoptosis was assessed using Hoechst 33342 staining (Molecular Probes, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Briefly, replicate cultures of T24 cells were plated in 6-well plates. The cells were treated with or without DEA for 24 hours. After a change of fresh medium, the cells were incubated with Hoechst 33342 solution at 37°C for 10 minutes, followed by examination under a fluorescence microscope. Strong fluorescence and condensed or fragmented nuclei were observed in apoptotic cells, while weak fluorescence was observed in live cells. The quantification of apoptotic cells was performed by taking images in random fields and counting at least 200 cells in four random fields per well. The nuclear DNA in the treated cells contained in 6-well plates was visualized by staining with the DNA-specific dye Hoechst 33342 at a final concentration of 5 μg/ml. The cells were observed immediately with filters for blue fluorescence.

NHBE cells were seeded into black, clear-bottom 96-well tissue culture plates at a density of 37,500 cells per cm2 (12,000 cells per well) in 100 μL of culture medium. The cells were incubated for 24 h in the culture medium and then exposed (in three replicate wells) to increasing concentrations of the e-liquid solutions containing the different flavoring substances. A corresponding base solution was included as a reference. The cells were exposed for 30 min (NF-κB endpoint only), 4 h, and 24 h before performing the HCS assays. In parallel, appropriate positive controls at three different concentrations were used for each endpoint (Table S2). Dimethyl sulfoxide (CASRN 67-68-5; purity >99.9%; ref. D8418, Sigma-Aldrich) was used as the vehicle for all positive control treatments at a final concentration of 0.5%. Cell count was recorded in all assays using Hoechst 33342 staining (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA), except for the oxidative stress assay, where DRAQ5™ dye (Biostatus, Shepshed, UK) was used. Following staining of the NHBE cells, fluorescence was analyzed by image acquisition with a Thermo Fisher Cellomics® ArrayScan VTI High Content Screening Reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and vHCS™:View software (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Twenty fields were imaged per well using a 10× wide field objective, as previously described [15 ].

Human neutrophils were isolated as above and diluted to a density of 3.5×105/mL. Cells were incubated with compounds in 384-well micro-titre plates for 45 min at 37 °C, 5% CO2. Cells were then stimulated with 2 µM calcium ionophore (final concentration) for 60 min at 37 °C. The cells were fixed with 1.3% PFA for 45 min at RT, then permeabilised in PBS/2% Triton X-100 for 10 min. Cells were washed with PBST (PBS/0.1% Tween 20) and blocked in PBST/2% BSA for 16 h at 4 °C. H3 citrullination was measured using a mouse anti-H3Cit monoclonal antibody (BioCat, 133483, generated at GSK, 6 µg/mL) and a secondary Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (Life Technologies, A11001, 2 µg/mL) with parallel Hoechst 33342 staining (Life Technologies). Plates were imaged on an IN Cell Analyzer 2000 (GE Healthcare) and the FITC intensity in neutrophil nuclei was used as a measure of H3 citrullination as determined using the IN Cell Investigator software (GE Healthcare).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Biopsies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
N(Control)=12 biopsies and N(CTE)=6 biopsies were prepared for immunohistochemical analyses. Biopsies were fixed for 2 h in either 4% formaldehyde or by successive 1 h incubations in cold 70, 90 or 100% methanol solutions and then stored at −20 °C in methanol. The samples were then paraffin embedded. A measure of 5 μm sections were de-waxed in a xylene bath, rehydrated in isopropanol and in solutions with decreasing ethanol concentrations, and were processed for either immunohistochemistry or immunostaining. For immunohistological analyses, classical hematoxylin/eosin staining procedure was used. For immunostaining, de-waxed tissue sections were blocked in 1.5% donkey serum (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, Missouri, USA) for 1 h. Primary antibody incubations were performed at 4 °C overnight and secondary antibody incubations at room temperature for 2 h, both in 1.5% donkey serum solution. Hoechst 33342 staining (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK) was used to detect nuclei. Tissue sections were mounted in home-made Mowiol 488 solution.

WT or D614G-infected LAE ALI cultures were fixed twice for 20 minutes in 4% formaldehyde in PBS and stored in PBS. The SARS-CoV-2 N antigen was stained with polyclonal rabbit anti-SARS-CoV N protein (Invitrogen PA1–41098, 0.5 ug/mL),and using species-specific secondary antibodies as previously described (4 (link)). The cultures were also imaged for a-tubulin (Millipore MAB1864; 3ug/mL) and MUC5AC (Thermo Scientific 45M1; 4ug/mL) as indicated. Filamentous actin was localized with phalloidin (Invitrogen A22287), and nuclei was visualized with Hoechst 33342 staining (Invitrogen). An Olympus FV3000RS confocal microscope in Galvo scan mode was used to acquire 5-channel Z stacks by 2-phase sequential scan. Representative stacks were acquired and are shown as Z-projections and XZ cross sections to distinguish individual cell features and to characterize the infected cell types. ImageJ was used to measure the relative apical culture surface covered by multiciliated cells.

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.
