14 days of culture, samples were rinsed with PBS, and cells were fixed
with 4 wt % paraformaldehyde (PFA) at room temperature for 30 min.

5 min and blocked with 1 wt % bovine serum albumin containing 22.52
mg/mL glycine prepared in PBS for 30 min. Then, samples were incubated

incubated in Alexa Fluor 555 (1:1000, ab150118, Abcam) and Alexa Fluor
488 (1:1000, ab150113, Abcam) secondary antibodies for 1 h to stain
α-actinin and cTnT, respectively. The actin cytoskeletons of
the cells were stained with Alexa Fluor 488 Phalloidin (Thermo Fisher).
The nuclei of cells were counterstained with 25 mM Hoechst (Abcam,
ab228551). Images were acquired using a confocal microscope (DMI 8,
Leica), and processed using Leica LASX software.

Cells seeded on glass coverslips were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min. Next, coverslips were washed three times in 50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), incubated for 30 min with blocking buffer (0.02% Triton X-100, 10% horse serum, and 150 mM NaCl in 50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.0]), and incubated with primary goat polyclonal anti-6XHis-tag antibodies to detect StСas9-6XHis-tag protein (ab9136, Abcam) and with mouse monoclonal anti-HBc antibodies (ab8637, Abcam) at room temperature for 1 h. The cells were washed three times for 5 min in washing buffer (0.02% Triton X-100 and 200 mM NaCl in 50 mM Tris-HCl [pH 8.0]), then incubated with secondary Alexa Fluor 647 donkey anti-goat immunoglobulin G (IgG) H&L (ab150131, Abcam) and Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse IgG H&L antibodies (ab150105, Abcam). Alternatively, coverslips were stained only with primary mouse monoclonal anti-HBc antibodies (ab8637, Abcam) and secondary Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti-mouse IgG H&L antibodies (ab150116, Abcam). Cell nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (1/10,000; ab228551, Abcam) at room temperature for 1 h. Coverslips were washed three times for 5 min in washing buffer and mounted with Fluoroshield reagent (Abcam). Images were captured using a Leica DMI6000 microscope with 100× immersion objectives. The research was done using equipment of the Core Centrum of Institute of Developmental Biology RAS.

For whole-mount fluorescence microscopy of adipose tissue, fascia was carefully removed from inguinal fat pads under a dissecting microscope and the tissue was then fixed for 1 h at room temperature with 1% paraformaldehyde in PBS and permeabilized for 1 h with 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS (PBST) before incubation for 30 min at room temperature with Hoechst 33342 (H3570, Invitrogen) at a dilution of 1:1,000 and boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY; D3822, Invitrogen) at a dilution of 1:2,000 in PBST. The tissue was washed several times with PBST, mounted in fluorescence mounting medium (S3023, Dako) and imaged with a confocal microscope (LSM880, Carl Zeiss). For Oil Red O staining of lipid droplets, cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde, stained with Oil Red O solution (O1516, Sigma) for 20 min, and washed with PBS. Fluorescence imaging of cells was performed after staining with Hoechst 33342 (ab228551, Abcam) and BODIPY 493/503 (D3922, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Lipid droplet accumulation was assessed at 6 days after application of the adipogenic cocktail to induce adipocyte differentiation. The cells were imaged using a CQ1 microscope (Yokogawa).

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.
