Screening for Anti-Parasite Compounds

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Drug screening was carried out as previously described (Communications Biology, in press) Tac12 infected macrophages expressing a GFP-CLASP fusion protein15 (link) were plated in 96-well plates and treated with the compounds at 10 μM for 48 h. Immunofluorescence was performed on fixed cells using a specific anti-H3K18me1 antibody to label parasite nuclei. Cells were incubated with DAPI to detect host and parasite nuclear DNA. The parasite surface membrane was monitored by GFP-CLASP fluorescence15 (link). Image capture (30 fields per condition) and analysis was performed with the Opera Phenix microscope (Perkin Elmer, Photonic BioImaging platform, Pasteur Institute) and the associated Acapella Software to monitor host and parasite survival.

For high-throughput imaging and analyses of focus formation by RPA2, RAD51 and PALB2 proteins, cells were plated on 96-well Cell Carrier (Perkin Elmer) plates at a density of 7500−10,000 cells/well. The following day, cells were either mock-treated or irradiated (6 Gy) and processed for imaging as described under Immunofluorescence method. Imaging was performed on the spinning disk Opera Phenix microscope (Perkin Elmer) using either ×20 or ×40 water immersion objectives. Images were acquired in single optimised focal plane for each of the three channels (405, 488 and 568 nm) in the confocal mode. Image analysis and evaluation was done using Harmony High-Content Imaging and Analysis software. In each experiment, 7−10 fields (>500 cells) per well were acquired and analysed.

CBF-0.5 hydrogels containing mPCOs, PaFs and BMDMs 1:5:5 ratio of PDO:Paf:BMDM were prepared as described previously and crafted into 10 μL domes in 24-well Sensoplate (Greiner). Co-culture domes were imaged via the PerkinElmer Opera Phenix microscope. A Zeiss EC Plan Neofluar X10 air objective NA 0.3 WD 5.2mm or Zeiss W Plan-Apochromat X20 water objective NA 1.0 WD 1.17mm were used as indicated. Pre-scan directed z-stack acquisition of individual spheres within the gel was used and co-cultures were imaged every hour over a time-window of 72h starting from day three of culture. Videos and representative still images were generated from maximum intensity projections using Harmony 4.8 software. Representative images were exported from Harmony 4.8 in the portable network graphic format with scaling equally applied to all conditions.

Microglia ASC Specks and Astrocyte NFκB

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The number of ASC specks within microglia and the subcellular localisation of NFκB within astrocytes were assessed by immunocytochemistry in cells seeded in 96-well plates. After treatment, cells were washed with DPBS (Gibco) and fixed in 4 % (v/v) PFA for 20 min at RT prior to further washing. Cells were permeabilised and non-specific binding blocked using 0.1 % (v/v) Triton-X-100, 5 % (w/v) BSA in TBS for 1 h at ambient temperature before incubating with an anti-ASC antibody (1:200, Adipogen, AG-25B-0006) or anti-NFκB (p65 subunit, 1:400, Cell signalling, D14E12) overnight at 4 °C. AlexaFluor 488 conjugated secondary antibody (Invitrogen) was added for 1 h at RT. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst-33342. Cells were imaged using a confocal Opera Phenix microscope (Perkin Elmer). The number of ASC specks per well was normalised to the number of nuclei and the mean nuclear intensity of NFκB was normalised to the total cell intensity per well using Harmony High-Content imaging analysis software (Perkin Elmer).

30,000 iPSDM were seeded into a ViewPlate glass bottom 96- well plate and treated with LLOMe, Silica or infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis as described above. The plate was sealed with parafilm and placed in a pre-heated (37 °C) Opera Phenix microscope with 40× or 60× water-immersion lens (PerkinElmer) with 5% CO2.
Capture settings were: Image-iT TMRM Reagent (I34361, Thermo Fischer) and MitoTracker Red CMXRos (M7512, Thermo Fischer) were excited with the 561 nm laser at 10% power with 100 ms exposure. MitoTracker Deep Red FM (M22426, Thermo Fischer), iABP probe and Mtb E2crimson were excited with the 640 nm laser at 10% power with 100 ms exposure. The mitoTimer construct was excited with the 488 nm laser and the 561 nm laser at 10% power and 100 ms exposure. The pHyPer-dMito construct was excited with the 405 and 488 nm lasers and emission was collected at 510 nm for both excitations. At least 20 fields per well were imaged in all the experiments.

Cystatin B c-GFPSpark-tag, RAB7-GFP, RAB7(Q67L)-GFP and Lamp1-mNeonGreen- expressing cells were excited using the 488 nm laser at 10% power with 50 ms exposure.

This section describes the experiment shown in Figures 1D, 1E, S1, S5, and S9. We labeled leukemia cells from four or six other patients with CellTracker Green and cocultured them (2 × 105 cells/well) with CellTracker Blue labeled NKTert (1 × 104 cells/well) or HS-5 (2 × 104 cells/well) stromal cells. CLL cells were pretreated with solvent control or 63 nM venetoclax or 63 nM venetoclax and 10 μM Z-VAD-FMK (Sigma-Aldrich) for 24 hours. For chloroquine treatment, NKTert cells were pretreated with 20 μM hydroxychloroquine for 24 hours. Co-culturing was performed for 16 hours. Cultures were additionally stained with lysosomal dye NIR and PI before imaging. The samples were imaged on an Opera Phenix microscope (Perkin Elmer) in confocal mode. For clearer visualization, the signal from the lysosomal dye is not shown in Figure 1D, while CellTracker Green signal and PI staining are not shown Figure 1E. The images shown are representative of all experiments.

The neuronal morphology of 14 DIV neurons previously transfected with the plasmid peGFP-N1 (Clontech) on 5–7 DIV and treated on 13 DIV was assessed using high resolution digital images of live neurons taken using an Opera-Phenix microscope (PerkinElmer). Neurite complexity was analysed using Harmony software: total and maximum neurite length, and number of nodes and extremities were quantified and compared among groups. NeuronStudio software (CNIC, Mount Sinai School of Medicine) was used for dendritic spine analysis. Spine density was defined as number of spines per micrometer of dendrite length. Dendritic spine densities were calculated from 20 neurons/condition.

Cells were plated in triplicate at a density of 1,000 cells per well, and then stained and fixed as previously described26 (link),30 . Images were taken on a Perkin-Elmer Opera Phenix microscope with a 20X/1.0NA water immersion lens. Image quality control was carried out as previously described31 , using CellProfiler30 and CellProfiler-Analyst31 . For all 27 MCF7 strains, the majority of images in all three wells passed quality control, and therefore all strains were further considered. Image illumination correction and analysis were performed in CellProfiler. For each of the 27 MCF7 strains, the median value of the 1,784 measured features was computed and used for hierarchical clustering.

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.
