Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To semi-quantitatively examine the effect of FSGS patient sera on podocyte β3 integrin activity, a human podocyte cell line was cultured at 37 °C for 14 days for complete differentiation [17 (link)]. The cells were then incubated in 5% of FSGS patient serum for 24 h with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as a positive control. Next, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) and processed for immunofluorescence staining for AP5 (Blood Center of Wisconsin) and paxillin (Millipore). AP5 is an antibody detecting the active state of β3 integrin by recognizing the unfolding N-terminal epitope GPNICT upon the activation of the integrin [18 (link)]. After immunostaining, confocal (Leica) images were taken to quantify the AP5 and paxillin intensity for each sample treatment. paxillin signal was used to correct AP5 signal for each treatment. The relative AP5 signal (AP5/paxillin ratio) from each patient serum was then normalized against that of normal blood donor included in each assay for final report [15 (link)]. To control for suPAR specificity, the cells were co-incubated with both FSGS sera and suPAR blocking antibody. The normalized AP5 value from normal serum treated podocytes was 1. The relative AP5 value of 1.05 or more obtained from patient serum treated podocytes was considered abnormal.

Transfected HT1080 cells were plated on coverslips or on collagen (10 μg/mL) coated coverslips for 24 h. For nocodazole treatment, 10 μM nocodazole was applied for additional 1 h. Cells were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde for 20 min, then washed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and 0.1% Triton-X 100 in PBS for 1 min. Fixed HT1080 cells were incubated with primary antibodies Rab11 (1:100, Cell Signaling Technology), p-FAK (1:150, BD Biosciences), vinculin (1:100, Sigma, MO, USA), paxillin (1:100, Millipore, MA, USA) or Rac1 antibody (1:100, BD Biosciences) for 1 h at room temperature, and after washing three times with PBS, the HT1080 cells were incubated with an appropriate fluorescence-conjugated secondary antibody, Cy2-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody or Cy3-conjugated anti-mouse antibody, at room temperature for 1 h. The coverslips were then mounted on slides and observed using a Zeiss LSM 510 META confocal microscope (Zeiss, Germany). For vinculin and Rac1 expression level, the distribution area was the region of interest with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) and the expression intensities were counted and quantified.

Cells were plated onto polymerized collagen gels coating a Lab Tek II Chamber slide (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Once a confluent monolayer was formed, cells were fixed with 4%PFA with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS solution (Corning). Permeabilization was achieved through 0.5% Triton X-100 for 10 min and then cells were blocked with 2.5% BSA and 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for one hour. Primary antibody, Paxillin (Millipore) at 1:300 or HECD1 at 1:300, was incubated in blocking solution overnight at 4C and then washed at least 3 times for 20 minutes in 0.1% Triton X-100. Slides were the coated with secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor Goat anti-Mouse 647 (Invitrogen), and Alexa Fluor phalloidin 488 (ThermoFisher) in blocking solution for one hour. After 3 consecutive 20-minute washes in 0.1% Triton X-100, slide chambers were removed and coated with 20ul ProLong Gold (ThermoFisher Scientific). Slides were then sealed with glass coverslips before drying and sealing with nail polish. Slides were then stored at 4C.

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.
