Videorecording of neurons plated in microfluidic devices was performed at DIV 12. Before recordings, DIV 12 neurons in the microchamber were carefully inspected and selected based on the absence of cell contamination. For double transductions (with sh-RNA lentiviruses), the transport of mCherry-tagged cargo was analyzed within GFP-positive axons. Images were acquired every 200 ms for 1 min on an inverted microscope (Axio Observer, Zeiss) with X63 oil-immersion objective (1.46NA) coupled to a spinning-disk confocal system (CSU-W1-T3; Yokogawa) connected to an electron-multiplying CCD (charge-coupled device) camera (ProEM+1024, Princeton Instrument) at 37°C and 5% CO2.
For the study of the exocytosis events, images were acquired every 200 ms for 1 min on an inverted microscope (Axio Observer, Zeiss) with X63 oil-immersion objective (1.46NA) coupled to a spinning-disk confocal system (CSU-W1-T3; Yokogawa) with TIRF microscopy (Nikon/Roper, Eclipse Ti) equipped with a camera Prime 95B sCMOS (Telelyne Photometrics) at 37°C and 5% CO2. The same three fields per microchambers were acquired before and after a 4AP-bicuculline (respectively 2.5 mM and 50 µM) stimulation of the presynaptic chamber, four times in total (one before and three after stimulation).

Images of the SAND lines were performed on an inverted Zeiss LSM710 confocal microscope using a 40x Plan-apochromatic objective (numerical aperture 1.2, oil immersion). Dual-colour images were acquired by sequential line switching, allowing the separation of channels by both excitation and emission. Counter staining of plasma membranes were obtained by incubating roots with 1 μM FM4-64 solution (Lifesciences, stock solution at 3mM in H2O) for 10 minutes, followed by 15 to 45 minutes incubation in water prior to observation. mCitrine and FM4-64 were excited with a 515nm laser.
Images of the BREAK lines were performed on an inverted Zeiss microscope (AxioObserver Z1) equipped with a spinning disk module (CSU-W1-T3, Yokogawa) and a ProEM+ 1024B camera (Princeton Instrument) using a 40x C-Apochromat objective (numerical aperture 1.1, water immersion). GFP was excited with a 488nm laser.
Images of the RED TIDE and LINE UP lines, as well as irt1 complementation analyses were performed on an inverted Leica SP8 X microscope using a 40x HCX Plan-apochromatic objective (numerical aperture 1.3, oil immersion). Yellow fluorescent proteins (YFP, mCitrine and Ypet) and mCherry were excited with a white light laser at 514nm and 587 nm, respectively. Imaging of LINE UP lines was performed after induction with 30 μM dexamethasone (DEX) for 24 hours.

Live-cell recordings were performed using an inverted microscope (Axio Observer, Zeiss) coupled to a spinning-disk confocal system (CSU-W1-T3, Yokogawa) connected to wide field electron-multiplying CCD camera (ProEM+1024, Princeton Instrument) and maintained at 37°C and 5% CO2. For HTT-mCherry and BDNF-mCherry trafficking, images were taken every 200 ms for 30 s (63x oil-immersion objective, 1.46 NA).

For each experiment, at least 2-3 microchambers from 3 independent neuronal cultures were used, and a minimum number of 50-60 axons were analyzed.

Pollen Tube Growth Kinetics

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Flowers at stage 13 and 15 were emasculated and pollinated on plants with mature pollen from the pACT11::RFP line. Immediately after pollination, stigmas were mounted between two coverslips maintained separated by four grease plugs placed at each coverslip corner. To maintain a constant humidity without adding liquid directly on the stigma surface, we used a wet piece of tissue in contact with the base of the stigma. Pollinated stigmas were observed under a Zeiss microscope (AxioObserver Z1) equipped with a spinning disk module (CSU-W1-T3, Yokogawa) using a 40x Plan-Apochromat objective (numerical aperture 1.1, water immersion). Serial confocal images were acquired in the entire volume of the stigma every 1 µm and every minute. Images were processed with Image J software and pollen tube lengths were measured.

Imaging Axonal Transport of BDNF-mCherry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In vivo axonal transport of BDNF-mCherry was imaged in cortical neurons plated in microfluidic chambers. Neuronal processes can grow into the microchannels, but only axons can reach the distal part of the micro channel located 450 μm away from the proximal chamber where cell bodies are located (Fig. 2c). Acquisitions were done in the distal part of the microchannels, using an inverted microscope (Axio Observer, Zeiss) with a × 63 1.46 numerical aperture (NA) oil-immersion objective coupled to a spinning-disk confocal system (CSU-W1-T3; Yokogawa) connected to an electron-multiplying CCD (charge-coupled device) camera (ProEM+1024, Princeton Instrument) and maintained at 37 °C and 5% CO2. Images were taken every 0.2 s for 30 s. Kymographs and velocity analysis were done using KymoToolBox6 (link), a homemade plugin for ImageJ (NIH, USA). Briefly, calibrated kymographs were generated from maximal projection of time-lapse videos. Vesicle trajectories were then analysed manually, to extract the dynamic parameters of the tracked particles. Only moving vesicles were analysed; therefore, static vesicles or particles moving at velocities lower than 0.2 μm s−1 were not taken into account.

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.
