COCs were collected at 10 h post-hCG and denuded with 50 μL hyaluronidase (1000 IU/mL, Invitrogen Australia, Mulgrave, Vic, AU) in collection media (αMEM-HEPES). Denuded oocytes were washed in fresh collection media then incubated in media containing 6 μM JC-1 dye (GIBCO, Invitrogen Australia). Oocytes were incubated for 15 min at 37 °C to allow JC-1 aggregates to form in high-membrane potential mitochondria (red fluorescence). Oocytes were then immediately imaged through an optical cross-section at the widest point of the oocyte using the Fluoview FV10i Olympus confocal microscope for green fluorescence emission (525 nm, low membrane potential) and red fluorescence (590 nm, high membrane potential) using a 60× objective. A total of 58 oocytes from 4 KO mice and 61 oocytes from 4 heterozygous littermates were imaged (PRlacZ strain). Using AnalySIS LS professional software (Olympus Australia, Mt Waverly, Vic, AU), a rectangle was placed across the oocyte image and the average green or red fluorescence intensity in each pixel column (0.3 μm intervals) across the box was determined. The mean and SE of the red or green fluorescence was calculated across all PRKO or PGR heterozygous (PRHet) oocytes. Statistical significance was determined by a mixed-model two-way ANOVA.

To visualize the efficiency of the normal and test fabrics on transdermal drug delivery, the topical application of a lipophilic dye, rhodamine B, was performed on the back skin of all group of each the guinea pigs. A confocal laser scanning microscope (Leica SP5 white laser; Leica Microsystems GmbH; magnification, x100) was then used to examine the dye delivery associated with each fabric. Rhodamine B base dye (0.0005 M; Sigma-Aldrich; Merck KGaA) was left to penetrate the skin for 3 h. Immediately after treatment, skin samples were collected and then washed with PBS to remove any residual rhodamine B and embedded in material at the optimal cutting temperature. Fixed skin tissue was frozen by immersion in liquid N2-cooled hexane and stored at -80˚C. Transverse sections (60 µm), including the whole right and left ventricles were obtained using a cryostat (Leica CM1325; Leica Microsystems GmbH) and mounted on glass. A DAPI mounting medium kit (OriGene Technologies, Inc.) was used to counterstain the nuclei for 10 min at room temperature, and stained cells were visualized using an Olympus FLUOVIEW FV10i confocal microscope (Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.; magnification x100).

SF9 cells infected with recombinant baculoviruses, 72 hpi were washed with PBS and incubated for 5 min with DAPI (4′, 6-diamino-2-phenylindole) to mark the nucleus (Thermo Fisher, USA, cat. no. D3571) at a 1:1000 dilution and fixed in slide glass (76 × 26 mm) with DAKO Fluorescent Mounting Medium (Agilent, USA, cat. no. S3023) [28 (link)]. The GFP of the PH(1–110)GFP particles was excited at 473 and DAPI was excited at 405 nm. Fluorescence emission was collected at 510 nm for GFP and 420 nm for DAPI. All images were taken with a Fluoview FV10i confocal microscope (Olympus®, Japan), using the 60 × NA 1.35 oil immersion objective (UPLSAPO60XO). The images were analyzed with the software, FV10ASW.

The Ac2F cells and adipocytes (after differentiation) were seeded into the confocal dishes overnight. The cells were treated with parecoxib (15, 30, and 60 μM) and rosiglitazone (10 μM) for 48 h. Then, the cells were fixed with formalin for 10 min. The permeabilization of cells was achieved by incubating the cells with 0.3% Triton X-100 for 15 min. Next, the cells were blocked using 10% FBS and incubated with a PPAR-γ antibody at 4°C overnight. The cells were incubated with anti-mouse Alexa 488 secondary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology) for 30 min, and then PI (10 μg/mL) and RNase (10 μg/mL) reagents were added to the cells and incubated for 40 min.

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.
