Multiplex RNA-Protein Co-Detection in Brain

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We used the RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent Reagent Kit v2 with the RNA-Protein Co-Detection Ancillary Kit for co-detection of mRNA and protein. For smFISH, we used custom-made RNAscope probes for Gad1, VGluT2 (Slc17a6), and NeuN (Rbfox3). Probes were based on the coding sequence of each gene, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms were included by alternating between species (P. maniculatus, P. polionotus). For IHC, we used the rabbit anti-c-Fos (1:100, Synaptic Systems, 226003) and rabbit anti-GFP (1:100, Thermo Fisher, A-11122) antibodies to detect c-Fos protein and the YFP tag in the viral vector, respectively, and HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit antibody (1:500, PerkinElmer, NEF812001EA) for secondary detection. We visualized RNA probes and antibodies with Opal 520, Opal 570, and Opal 690 dyes (1:1000, Akoya Biosciences, FP1487001KT, FP1488001KT, FP1497001KT), and counterstained with DAPI. Regions of interest (mSC, dPAG) were imaged on a LSM 700 laser scanning confocal microscope (Zeiss), with Z-stacks of 21 slices spaced at 0.99 μm. We then used QuPath v0.2.3 to quantify the overlap of FISH and IHC signals in the maximum projection images.

Mice were perfused with 3% PFA in UltraPure DNAse/RNAse-free distilled water (Cat. #10977015, Invitrogen). Brains were post-fixed overnight in 3% PFA, dehydrated through alcohols, and embedded in paraffin. Coronal sections at 6 μm were mounted onto Superfrost Plus slides. Sections were deparaffinized in xylene, washed in 100% ethanol, and dried at 65°C for 5 min. Then the sections were incubated with 100% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min, and washed 3 times. Sections next were steamed at 99°C for 15 min, encircled with a barrier pen, hybridized with a probe, and then incubated with amplifiers (Cat. #323136 and #447941, Advanced Cell Diagnostics). The fluorescence signal was developed using a fluorescent horseradish peroxidase substrate (Cat. #FP1488001KT, Akoya Biosciences). Following in situ hybridization, sections were counterstained with NeuroTrace 500/525 Green Fluorescent Nissl Stain (Cat. #N21480, ThermoFisher) and then sealed using Prolong Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI. Images were acquired using a Keyence BZ-9000 All-in-one Fluorescence Microscope.

RNAscope in situ hybridization was performed using a Leica Bond III automated staining platform (Leica Biosystems) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Mouse probes of Oca2 (ACDBio, 1072511), Gpr143 (ACDBio, 535108), Col12a1 (ACDBio, 312638) and Txnip (ACDBio, 457228) for the Leica System were used, and a RNAscope LS Multiplex Fluorescent assay (ACDBio) was used for detection. The double detection of immunofluorescence was performed after finishing in situ hybridization by applying the primary and secondary antibodies as described in the section ‘Immunofluorescence’. Skin sections were then scanned using Vectra Polaris (Akoya Biosciences) at ×20 for Opal fluors 570 (Akoya Biosciences, FP1488001KT), 690 (Akoya Biosciences, FP1497001KT) and DAPI (Akoya Biosciences, FP1490). Scanned images were processed using Inform (v.2.6.0) software (Aloya Biosciences). For quantitative analysis, HALO (v.3.5) software (module Indica Labs-FISH v.3.2.3) was utilized. FISH probe cell intensity (average intensity of FISH probe (×) spots and clusters per cell) was measured in tdTomato+ cells in the mid-anagen bulge/ORSup and the bulb. The relative intensity of bulge/ORSup tdTomato+ cells to bulb tdTomato+ cells within the same sample was compared across multiple samples.

We performed colorimetric RNA-in situ hybridization (ISH) using a digoxygenin-labeled Ascl1 riboprobe as previously described (Touahri et al., 2015 ). We performed fluorescent RNA-ISH using an RNAscope® Multiplex Fluorescent Detection Kit v2 (ACD #323110) and followed the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, brain sections were post-fixed (4% PFA/1XPBS) for 15 min at 4°C, and then, at room-temperature, dehydrated in 50%, 70%, and 100% ethanol (Commercial Alcohols, P016EAAN) for 5 min each, and incubated in H2O2 solution for 10 min. Sections were then incubated in 1x target retrieval solution for 5 min at 95°C, washed in dH2O, and then incubated in Protease Plus (ACD, 322331) for 15 min at 40°C before washing in washing buffer. We used a labeled RNA probe for Ascl1 (Mm-Ascl1 #313291) and used the negative and positive control probes provided. Sections were incubated with the probes for 2 h at 40°C. Amplification and staining steps were completed following the manufacturer’s instructions, using an Opal™ 570 (1:1500, Akoya #FP1488001KT) fluorophore.

The RNAscope V2 Fluorescent Assay (ACD Biosystems, Newark, CA) was performed according to the ACD Biosystems protocol for fresh-frozen tissue. Corneal sections from 3 donors were hybridized with the Wnt6 mRNA probe. Assays were performed in 2 independent experiments for each donor. To confirm the mRNA integrity of the tissues, positive control probes targeting human housekeeping genes Polr2a, PPIB, and HPRT were visualized (Supplemental Fig. 1). The probes were amplified according to the manufacturer’s instructions and labeled with the fluorophore Opal 520 nm (Akoya Biosciences, FP1487001KT, 1:250), Opal 570 nm (Akoya Biosciences, FP1488001KT, 1:1500), and Opal 690 nm (Akoya Biosciences, SKU FP1497001KT, 1:1500). The Olympus FluoView FV1000 was used to visualize the fluorescence in situ hybridization signals. Quantitation of the dots among the limbal layers was performed with Imaris software and the surface and dots functions (V. 9.7.0, Imaris, Oxford Instruments, Oxon, UK).

RNAscope analysis was performed using RNAscope Multiplex Fluorescent Reagent Kit v2 (Advanced Cell Diagnostics #323100) with a few modifications to the previously described method by Nomaru et al. (50 (link)). Briefly, the embryos were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4 °C overnight. After dehydration and hydration in a graded series of methanol and PBS + 0.1% Tween, the embryos were treated with Protease III (#322102) for 20 min. The following C1, C2, and C3 probes were used for hybridization at 40 °C overnight: LacZ (#313451-C1), Nkx2-5 (#428241-C2), Tbx5 (#519581-C2), Tnnt2 (#418681-C3), Hand1 (#429651-C3), and Mab21l2 (#456901-C3). Following this, 0.2 × saline sodium citrate buffer (SSC) + 0.01% Tween was used for washing in between steps. The embryos were incubated with AMP1 for 30 min, AMP2 for 30 min, and AMP3 for 15 min at 40 °C. For signal detection, the embryos were incubated in HRP-C1, -C2, or -C3 for 15 min at 40 °C, followed by incubation in Opal 520, 690, and 570 (Akoya Biosciences #FP1487001KT, FP1497001KT, FP1488001KT). HRP was inactivated by HRP-Blocker for 15 min at 40 °C. After staining, the embryos were embedded in 50% glycerol/PBS. Fluorescent images were captured using an FV3000 confocal microscope (Olympus) with a Z-stack every 3 μm.

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.
