PH-PLCD1-GFP, PH-PLCD1-iRFP, and TfR-GFP plasmids were purchased from Addgene (plasmids 51407, 66841, and 45060, respectively) and were transfected into cultured HPAECs using the Neon Transfection System (Thermo Fisher) 2 d before imaging under optimized conditions (1,270 V, 20-ms pulse length, with two pulses). All of the images were captured using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (A1R HD25; Nikon) equipped with ×60 (ApoTIRF) and ×100 (SR ApoTIRF) objectives at the following excitation/emission wavelengths: EGFP-D4, PH-PLCD1-GFP, and TfR-GFP (488, 525/50 nm); mCherry-D4 (561, 595/50 nm); and PH-PLCD1-iRFP (640, 700/75 nm) using NIS-Elements C software (Nikon). The obtained images were merged using Adobe Photoshop software. Signals of D4-based sensors were quantitatively analyzed by Image Pro-10 software (Media Cybernetics).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The biofilm of A. fumigatus was cultured in a 12-well polystyrene plate at calculated IC50 of isoeugenol to analyse its effect (Manavathu et al. 2014 (link)). To check biofilm eradication property of isoeugenol, biofilm was fully grown on 12-well polystyrene plate for 48 h and then, treated with IC50 of isoeugenol for another 24 h (Hoda et al. 2019 (link); Sav et al. 2018 (link)). To visualise the effect of isoeugenol, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) were performed and samples were processed as described by González-Ramírez et al (2016 (link)), with minor modifications. The A. fumigatus biofilm topology of isoeugenol treated and control (untreated) were viewed under SEM (Zeiss SEM, MA EVO -18 Special Edition). For CLSM, samples were stained with calcofluor white M2R (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) and viewed under Nikon Instruments A1 Confocal Laser Microscope Series with NIS elements C software, Japan.

Measuring Mitochondrial Membrane Potential

Activated T cells were plated onto polyethyleneimine-coated glass coverslips and incubated for 30 min at 37°C with 5 nM potentiometric probe tetramethylrhodamine methyl ester (TMRM; Invitrogen), a lipophilic cationic dye that accumulates in the mitochondrial matrix in the amount proportional to the magnitude of mitochondrial inner membrane potential (ΔΨm) [44 (link)], as previously described [45 (link)–47 (link)]. Coverslips with adherent cells were mounted into a recording chamber and placed on the stage of a Nikon A1 laser scanning confocal microscope (Nikon Instruments Inc.). The recording chamber was continuously perfused with solutions containing 5 nM TMRM. During time-lapse recording, TMRM was excited with a 543-nm laser line, and emission was detected using a 565–605 nm band-path filter. At the end of each experiment, 10 μM carbonyl cyanide phenyl hydrazone (FCCP) was added to the bath solution to dissipate ΔΨm. Experiments were performed at room temperature in air. Image analysis was performed using Nikon NIS-Elements C software. In each experiment, the TMRM fluorescence intensity values were normalized such that the TMRM fluorescence intensity level recorded 30 min after FCCP application was set to 0, whereas the TMRM fluorescence intensity level before the first solution exchange was set to 1.

Candida spp. biofilms were stained using the Yeast Live-or-Dye Fixable Live/Dead staining kit, according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Biotium, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA). Briefly, samples were incubated with diluted dyes for 30 min at room temperature, then biofilms were air-dried for 15 min. Biofilms were visualized using a Nikon A1+ point confocal laser scanning microscope (CSLM) integrated with NIS-Elements C Software (Nikon Instruments), equipped with a Plan Apo λ 20× objective directly on the plastic support of the 96-well plate (λ exc = 489.3 nm and 561.4 nm).

Live cell images were captured using an inverted microscope (Ti-E; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) and a confocal laser microscope system (A1R; Nikon) equipped with an oil-immersion objective lens (Plan Apo VC 60×/1.40 NA Oil; Nikon). Cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 (1:1) (Life Technologies) supplemented with 10% FBS and warmed in a chamber set to 37°C (INUBG2H-TIZB; Tokai Hit) during observation. Z-stack images were oversampled by taking z-steps of 230 nm between acquired images. Images were captured and analyzed using NIS-Elements C software (Nikon).

To quantify the expansion factors (Figures 1A–C), the Nikon confocal AX setup was used. This modality allows the capture of images with a maximum field of view of 8,192 x 8,192 pixels to find corresponding regions before and after the expansion process. A Plan APO 60x/1.24 oil immersion objective was used to image the non-expanded sample and a Plan APO 60x/1.27 water immersion objective was used for the expanded samples. The microscope is equipped with an AX R Galvano scan head and a 2K resonant scanner. A DUX-VB detector unit with four GaAsP PMTs was used for confocal imaging. The AF488 fluorophore was excited using 12% of the 488 nm DPSS laser. The built-in dye preset of Nikon's NIS-Elements C software was used to select the appropriate excitation wavelength and filter settings for the specific dye.

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.
