The immunofluorescence assay was performed as we previously described [32 ]. After cultured overnight in 24-well plates, the cells (2 × 104) were treated with selonsertib for 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h respectively. Then cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and permeabilized by 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 min before blocked with 6% BSA for 1 h. The presence of ABCB1 and ABCG2 was determined using monoclonal antibody F4 (dilution 1:100) and BXP-21 (dilution 1:150) respectively for incubation at 4 °C overnight. Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated secondary antibody (1:1000) was used after washing with iced PBS, DAPI was used to counterstain the nuclei. Immunofluorescence images were collected using an EVOS FL Auto fluorescence microscope (Life Technologies Corporation, Gaithersburg, MD).

Alkaline Comet assay was performed using Trevigen’s Comet assay kit (#4250–050-K). Briefly, Dox-induced cells and empty vector cells treated with and without metals were lysed, resuspended in low melting agarose, and spread evenly onto Comet slides. The slides were immersed in freshly prepared alkaline unwinding solution prior to alkaline electrophoresis. DNA in the nucleoid was visualized with SYBR Gold staining using an EVOS FL auto-fluorescence microscope (Life Technologies).

For 2D culture, cells were plated in 8-well chamber slides and kept in conditioned medium [13 (link)] (three volumes of feeder cell-conditioned F-medium mixed with one volume of fresh F-medium supplemented with 5 μM Y-27632) to grow in a monolayer and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 15 minutes, and blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin for one hour at room temperature. After blocking, cells were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies (Supplementary Table 2). Alexa Fluor (AF) 594-(red, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) or AF488-conjugated secondary antibody (green, Molecular Probes) were used to visualize the signal. Following three washes with PBS, slides were mounted with the VECTASHIELD mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). The fluorescence images were taken using the EVOS FL Auto fluorescence microscope (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA).

Paraffin-embedded islet grafts within the kidneys or intact mouse or human islets were stained for insulin using polyclonal guinea pig anti-insulin antibody (Dako, A0564), and apoptosis was measured using the TUNEL system (Promega, #G3250). Images from each islet graft were obtained using an EVOS FL Autofluorescence microscope (Life Technologies). ImageJ software was used to quantify total insulin-positive cells and TUNEL-insulin co-staining cells. Image quantification was done blinded to experimental group. A total of 7,471 β-cells were counted from control mouse grafts and 8,837 β-cells were counted from CCK treated mouse grafts.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MB49 murine bladder carcinoma cell line (Cat# SCC148) was supplied by EMD Millipore Corporation (Temecula, CA). UMUC-3 and T24 human urinary bladder cancer cell lines (Cat# CRL-1749 and Cat# HTB-4), and Renca murine kidney adenocarcinoma cell line (Cat# CRL-2947), were obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA). Each cell line was cultured and maintained (no more than 10 passages after initial thawing) according to the company’s instructions. Mycoplasma tests (Lonza, Basel, Switzerland) were performed periodically to ensure that there was no contamination. Both UMUC-3 and Renca cell lines were further transduced with GlowCell 16 FLuc-F2A-GFP lentivirus (Biosettia, San Diego, CA) carrying both firefly luciferase and green fluorescent protein (GFP) genes. Briefly, the cells were seeded in 6-well plates (0.25 × 106 cells/well) and incubated for 3 days with the virus (2×107 IU/well) in the presence of polybrene (10 μg/mL). To ensure more than 95% of cell purity, the cell lines were analyzed and sorted for GFP expression using flow cytometry. The successful transduction was further confirmed by imaging, using an EVOS FL Auto Fluorescence microscope (Life Technology, Carlsbad, CA).

THP-1 monocytes expressing ASC fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP) was used for ASC speck formation. The cells were cultivated in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% P/S, 100 μg/ml normocin, and 100 μg/ml selective antibiotic zeocin. THP-1-ASC-GFP cells were differentiated to macrophages as origin THP-1 using RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% P/S, and PMA. THP-1-ASC-GFP macrophages were treated with viral proteins in serum-free RPMI. Thirty minutes before the treatment termination, Hoechst33342 was added to stain cell nuclei. After 24 h of treatment, cell culture medium was replaced with FluoroBrite DMEM. ASC specks were analyzed with an EVOS FL Auto fluorescence microscope (Life Technologies, USA) by taking photos with 20× objective. Cells were counted according to the number of nuclei. ASC speck number per cell was counted using the image processing program ImageJ.

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.
