Fluorescent Immunostaining of RGCs and AAV-293 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary RGCs and AAV-293 cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 30 minutes, rinsed in PBS (3 × 10 minutes) and blocked with 5% normal donkey serum with 0.15% Tween-20 in PBS at pH 7.4. Cells were then incubated with either both beta III Tubulin antibody (Tubb3, 1:250, Covance, Denver, PA) and p65 antibody (1:400; sc-372, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX) or with Tubb3 alone, followed by species-specific secondary fluorescent antibodies (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Grand Island, NY). Negative controls were incubated with secondary antibodies only. The cells were imaged using an EVOS FL Auto fluorescent microscope with onstage incubation capabilities (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Grand Island, NY).

The low [K+] solution (145 mM NaCl, 5 mM KCl, 1.4 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES diluted in ddH2O) and high [K+] solution (60 mM NaCl, 50 mM KCl, 1.4 mM CaCl2, 1 mM MgCl2, 10 mM HEPES diluted in ddH2O) were prepared as described by [41 (link)]. Cells were washed twice with either the low [K+] or high [K+] solution, then incubated in fresh low [K+] or high [K+] solution for 5 min at 37 °C, in 5% CO2. Next, cells were incubated with 4 mg/ml of sulforhodamine B dye (S1307, Invitrogen, Waltham MA, USA) dissolved in low [K+] or high [K+] solution for 15 min at 37 °C, in 5% CO2, washed, and imaged immediately with the EVOS FL Auto fluorescent microscope (Thermo Fisher Scientific) under 10X magnification. Ten random fields of view were imaged per slide. Images were counted for the incidence of dye uptake defined as the percentage of cells that took up the dye.

Examining PANX1 Role in Myoblast Differentiation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For the differentiation assays, HSMM (70 000 cells/well) were seeded in 24-well dishes containing one collagen coated glass cover slip. Cells were transduced with a lentivector containing either GFP or PANX1 [46 (link)] one day prior to induction of differentiation. Based on GFP, a transduction efficiency of approximately 50% was achieved. Differentiation was initiated by switching cells into differentiation medium which consisted of DMEM supplemented with 5% horse serum and 1% penicillin/streptomycin. Cells were fixed in 3.7% PFA on day 5 of differentiation. Cells were stained for myosin heavy chain (MHC) (1:500, MF20, MAB4470, R&D Biosystems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and mounted with Fluoromount-DAPI (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA). Cells were imaged with the EVOS FL Auto fluorescent microscope (Thermo Fisher Scientific) under 20X magnification. The differentiation index (number of MHC positive cells/ total number of nuclei (%)) and fusion index (number of nuclei in myotubes/total number of nuclei (%)) were analyzed from 3–5 randomly selected fields of view [34 (link)].

Fluorescence Microscopy Imaging Protocol

Detailed fluorescence microscopy methods are described in supplemental methods. Briefly, Fluorescent microscopy images were captured on an EVOS FL auto fluorescent microscope (Thermo Fisher Scientific). GFP (470 ± 22 nm excitation, 510 ± 42 nm emission) and RFP (531 ± 40 nm excitation, 593 ± 40 nm emission) filter cubes were used to capture green or red fluorescence. An EVOS onstage incubator was used for live cell experiments and images were quantitated using ImageJ/Fiji (49 (link),50 (link)) (see supplemental methods, supplemental appendix).

Visualizing ECM Protein Distribution

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Spatial distribution of ECM proteins, following their covalent attachment to the surface of the PA hydrogels, was visualized following immunolabeling. Briefly, 100 μL of a 0.5 % Triton X-100 (v/v) solution in PBS was added to each well, followed by incubation of the plate at room temperature for 15 min. Gels were washed three times with blank PBS, followed by addition of a 100 μL of 1 % BSA, 0.1 % Tween-20 in PBS. Samples were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature, and then washed three times with PBS. A 100 μL volume of rabbit biotin-labeled anti-fibronectin antibody (1:100) was prepared in labeling buffer (0.5 % BSA, 0.1 % Tween-20 in PBS) and incubated with each well for 1 hour at room temperature. The primary antibody solution was removed and gels washed three times with PBS before addition labeling buffer containing rhodamine-conjugated streptavidin (1:100) to visualize fibronectin coating. After a 1 hour incubation at room temperature the solution was removed and gels washed three times with PBS. Plates were mounted onto an EVOS FL Auto fluorescent microscope (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and imaged at 10x magnification using the manufacturer LED light cube for RFP (531/40 nm excitation, 593/40 nm emission) to visualize fibronectin. Representative images were collected from three independent samples.

Chondrocytes were planted at a density of 1 × 104 cells per well in a 24-well plate. In either the presence or absence of 40 µM DHCA, IL-1β (5 ng/ml) was used to treat the cells. For 15 minutes at room temperature, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. Then, cell membranes were punched using a 0.2% Triton X-100 solution for five minutes, and blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 minutes. After that, collagen II, aggrecan, MMP13, and P65-specific antibodies were used to treat the cells overnight at 4°C. After being washed three times with PBS, the cells were incubated with Cy3/Fitc-conjugated secondary antibodies for one hour at 37°C in the dark. The DAPI was left to soak into the cell nuclei for a full ten minutes. The immunofluorescence images were captured using an Evos Fl Auto fluorescent microscope (Life Technologies).

THP-1 monocytes expressing ASC fused with green fluorescent protein (GFP) was used for ASC speck formation. The cells were cultivated in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% P/S, 100 μg/mL normocin and 100 μg/mL selective antibiotic zeocin. THP-1-ASC-GFP cells were differentiated to macrophages as origin THP-1 using RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 1% P/S and PMA. THP-1-ASC-GFP macrophages were treated with viral proteins in serum-free RPMI. Thirty minutes before the treatment termination, Hoechst33342 was added to stain cell nuclei. After 24 h of treatment cell culture medium was replaced to FluoroBrite DMEM. ASC specks were analysed with EVOS FL Auto fluorescent microscope (Life Technologies, USA) by taking photos with 20× objective. Cells were counted according to the number of nuclei. ASC speck number per cell was counted using image processing program ImageJ.

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.
