Cells were grown on coverslips or glassbottom dishes (24-well plates; MatTek), washed twice with PBS, and fixed for 10 min in PHEM buffer (20 mM PIPES pH 6.8, 0.2% Triton X-100, 10 mM EGTA, and 1 mM MgCl2) containing 4% paraformaldehyde. For immunofluorescence staining, coverslips were washed twice with PBS, and then blocked 100% goat serum albumin for 1 h before the indicated primary antibody was applied. Cells were then washed with PBS and incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-, 555-, or 647-conjugated secondary antibody (Molecular Probes). Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI (Sigma). After washing, coverslips were mounted onto glass microscope slides with Prolong antifade (Invitrogen).

Culturing GLUTag cells for peptide secretion

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GLUTag cells, an established pro-glucagon-derived peptide-secreting cell line model [23 (link)], were cultured as previously described [24 (link)]. Cells for experimental use were plated onto 1% Matrigel-coated (BD BioScience) 24-well plates (secretion) or 35 mm glass-bottomed plastic dishes (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, MA, USA) (imaging). Secretion experiments were carried out 18-24 h after plating. Imaging experiments were carried out 18-48 h after plating.

Time-Lapse Videomicroscopy of Mitotic Progression

For time-lapse videomicroscopy, MEFs of the indicated genotypes expressing Histone H2B-Cherry were plated on glassbottom dishes (24 well plates; MatTek) and transfected with siGenome SMART pool against Mad2 (Thermo Scientific Dharmacon), mouse MAD2L1 M-059314-01-0005) where indicated. After 24 h, cells were followed by time-lapse microscopy in fresh medium or in the presence of nocodazole for 48 h. Image acquisition was performed using a CCD fluorescence microscope (Leica) equipped with a selective filter for Cherry emission. Images were acquired at 10 and 4 min intervals using LAS AF (Leica) software for analysis.

Fluorescence Microscopy Imaging of Cell Morphology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Approximately 12,000 cells were plated in each well of a 24-well plate (MatTek, Ashland, MA, USA). After 24 h incubation, cells were fixed with 4% para-formaldehyde, permeabilized with Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich), and blocked for nonspecific binding with 5% goat serum. Nuclear DNA was stained with DAPI, and actin was stained with either phalloidin Alexa Fluor 488 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) or Acti-stain 555 (Cytoskeleton Inc., Denver, CO, USA). For each sample, fluorescently labeled cells in seventy-two (8-by-9 square grid) fields of view from a low-magnification lens (10× Plan Fluor lens; N.A. 0.3, Nikon) with a CCD (Hamamatsu OCAR-ER) on a Nikon NI microscope covering a contiguous area of approximately 6.0 mm × 5.0 mm (30.0 mm2) were analyzed. DAPI (nucleus) or phalloidin (F-actin) fluorescence was recorded to obtain morphometric information about the nucleus and cellular body of each cell within the scanning region. Segmentation of nuclear and cellular shape from images was conducted using a custom MATLAB code. At least 500 – 2500 cells/sample were analyzed for statistical analysis.

Immunostaining of Cultured Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were cultured on coverslips in a 24-well plate (MatTek, Ashland, MA). For immunostaining, the cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100, and blocked with 5% BSA for 1 h. After that, cells were incubated with primary antibodies (100 times dilution) for 1 h and washed three times with PBST (PBS with 0.1% Tween-20). After incubation with appropriate fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes) and DAPI (Thermo Fisher), the coverslips were mounted on slides. The pictures were photographed with AX10 imager A2 microscope (Carl Zeiss MicroImaging).

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.
