To stain the septa, mycelia or conidia were incubated in 10 μg/mL Calcofluor white (Sigma) solution for 5 min at RT followed by 3 thorough washes with sterile water. Samples were visualized and photographed as previously described [42 (link)]. To observe the fungal infection process, conidial suspension with a concentration of 2 × 105 conidia/mL was dropped onto the lower epidermis of barley leaves and then incubated in a moist, dark chamber at 28 °C. Microscopy observations were performed at 12, 24, 36, and 48 hpi [44 (link)]. For autophagy assays, strains expressing GFP-MoAtg8 were cultured in liquid complete medium for 48 h, and then shifted to nitrogen starvation cultured for 4 h to induce autophagy. Mycelia were harvested from liquid complete medium and nitrogen starvation medium. 7-amino-4-chloromethylcoumarin (CMAC, Invitrogen) was used to stain vacuolar lumens as previously described [45 (link)]. Epifluorescence microscopic examinations were performed by using a Nikon Ni90 fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Yeast cells were grown to exponential phase in yeast extract peptone dextrose (YPD) or synthetic complete medium supplemented with all amino acids (SDC). To stain the vacuolar membrane of the cells, 30 µM FM4-64 (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) was added and incubated for 30 min. The cells were washed twice with fresh medium and incubated in medium without dye for 1 h (Vida and Emr, 1995 (link)). For luminal staining of vacuoles, cells were incubated with 0.1 mM 7-amino-4-chloromethylcoumarin [CMAC] (Invitrogen) for 10 min, followed by washing with SDC medium.
Cells were imaged live in SDC media in a DeltaVision Elite imaging system based on an Olympus IX-71 inverted microscope equipped with a 100× N.A. 1.49 objective, a sCMOS camera (PCO, Kelheim, Germany), an InsightSSI illumination system, 40,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, GFP, mCherry, and Cy5 filters, and SOftWoRx software (Applied Precision, Issaquah, WA). z-stacks images with 0.2-µm spacing were deconvolved (SOftWoRx). All images were processed and quantified with ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD). One representative plane of the z-stacks from deconvolved image is shown in each figure.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were grown to exponential phase in yeast extract peptone dextrose (YPD) or synthetic complete medium supplemented with all amino acids (SDC) [0.675% (w/v) yeast nitrogen base without amino acids, 2.0% (w/v) glucose, 0.075% (w/v) CSM (MPBiomedicals)]. To induce starvation, yeast cells were transferred to synthetic minimal medium lacking nitrogen and containing 2% glucose (SD-N) for 3 h. Vacuoles were stained with 30 µM FM4-64 (Molecular Probes Inc., Eugene, OR) for 30 min. Cells were washed twice with fresh medium and incubated in medium without dye for 1 h (Vida and Emr, 1995) (link). To stain the vacuole lumen, cells were incubated with 0.1 mM 7-amino-4-chloromethylcoumarin (CMAC; Invitrogen) for 15 min, followed by washing with SDC medium.
Cells were imaged live in SDC or SD-N media on a DeltaVision Elite imaging system based on an Olympus IX-71 inverted microscope equipped with a 100× N.A. 1.49 objective; an sCMOS camera (PCO, Kelheim, Germany); an InsightSSI illumination system; 4′,6-diamidino-2phenylindole, GFP, mCherry and Cy5 filters; and SOftWoRx software (Applied Precision, Issaquah, WA). Single plane or z-stack images with 0.2 µm spacing were deconvolved (SOftWoRx). All images were processed and quantified with ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD). One representative plane of the z-stack from a deconvolved image is shown in each figure.

Cytokine and Adhesion Molecule Analysis

For the assessment of cytokine production, in vitro differentiated Th1 and Th17 cells were stimulated for 12 h with 50 ng/ml phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), 1 μg/ml ionomycin, and 10 μg/ml brefeldin A. The cells were then fixed and permeabilized using the Biolegend Fixation buffer/Permeabilization wash buffer kit and labeled with phycoerythrin (PE)-conjugated rat anti-mouse IFNγ (clone REA638, Miltenyi Biotech) and eFluor660-conjugated rat anti-mouse IL-17A (clone eBio17B7, eBioscience). Control cells were stimulated under the same conditions, but without brefeldin A. For the analysis of adhesion molecule expression, in vitro differentiated and ex vivo labeled with 7-amino-4-chloromethylcoumarin (CMAC; Molecular Probes) Th1 and Th17 cells were stained with the following rat anti-mouse monoclonal antibodies: APCFire750-conjugated anti-CD49d, FITC-conjugated anti-CD11a/CD18, all from Biolegend. For ex vivo studies, cell viability was confirmed using 7-aminoactinomycin D (7AAD; eBioscience) and the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of adhesion molecule expression was calculated relative to CMAC+ infiltrating cells. We used a MACSQuant Analyzer (Miltenyi Biotec) for the acquisition of flow cytometry data, followed by analysis using FlowJo software.

Th1 or Th17 cells were labeled for 45 min at 37°C with 7-amino-4-chloromethylcoumarin (CMAC) (Molecular Probes). Then, 2 × 107 Th1 or Th17 cells were intravenously injected into MOG35-55-immunized EAE recipient mice at the onset of the disease. After 48 h, when mice reached the EAE peak, 70 KDa fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran (FITC–dextran) (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MI, USA) was intravenously injected immediately before imaging of blood vessels. A mode-locked Ti : Sapphire Chameleon Ultra II laser (Coherent Inc.) was tuned to 750–800 nm and an Olympus XLUMPlanFI 20× objective (water immersed, numerical aperture, 0.95) was used for TPLSM imaging. To visualize infiltrating T cells in the dorsal spinal SAS, time-lapse sequences were performed at 70 μm stack height (2.5 μm z step) at 35-40 s intervals as previously described (17 (link)). Immediately after the first acquisition, 200 μl of artificial CSF containing 100 μg/ml of blocking anti-α4 integrins (clone PS/2, rat anti-mouse) or blocking anti-α4β7 integrin (clone DATK32, rat anti-mouse) were locally applied to the exposed spinal cord and incubated for 30 min before a second round of imaging, to allow adequate local meningeal diffusion (17 (link), 23 (link)–26 (link)).

ER-Phagy Induction and Visualization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ER-phagy was induced as previously described [14 (link)]. Briefly, cells were grown to exponential phase in YPD. Rapamycin was added to a final concentration of 200 ng/mL and the cultures were incubated for 16–18 h at 30 °C. The location of the vacuole was identified either by staining with 7-amino-4-chloromethylcoumarin (CMAC) (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) or by differential interference contrast microscopy. ER-phagy was detected by the presence of Rtn1-GFP fluorescence in the vacuolar lumen by fluorescence microscopy.

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.
