Cells were transfected and cultured as described above then fixed with 3% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at room temperature for 20 min, washed with PBS, incubated with 30 mM glycine for 5 min and washed again with PBS. For LDLR staining cells were permeabilized with 0.05% Filipin III (Sigma #F4767) in 10% FCS for 30 min at room temperature. Primary antibody: rabbit monoclonal anti-LDLR (Fitzgerald #20R-LR002) was diluted 1:100 in 5% FCS overnight at 4 °C. Secondary antibody: goat polyclonal goat anti-rabbit IgG Alexa 568 (Invitrogen #A11011) was diluted 1:400 in 5% FCS. Fixed cells were imaged using a Zeiss LSM 780 confocal microscope using a 63×/1.4NA oil immersion objective. For plasma membrane LDLR staining, cells were not permeabilized, but directly stained for 1 hour at 4 °C with antibody recognising the extracellular part of LDLR, namely, mouse anti-LDLR-C7 antibody (Progen #61087) diluted 1:100 in PBS. As a secondary antibody, we used chicken anti-mouse IgG Alexa 488 (Invitrogen #A-21200) diluted 1:400. Cells were imaged on an Olympus FluoView 3000 confocal microscope using 60×1.3NA silicon oil immersion objective.

Sperm Acrosome and Mitochondrial Integrity

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Sperm acrosome integrity was assessed using a fluorescent-labeled peanut agglutinin (FITC-PNA) (Sigma-Aldrich) as described previously [15 (link)]. Briefly, smears of sperm suspension were fixed in methanol for 15 min, air-dried, and stained with FITC-PNA (60 μg/ml in PBS) in the dark for 30 min. Slides were then washed with Milli-Q water to remove excessive staining. Two hundred spermatozoa were evaluated under Olympus Fluoview 3000 confocal microscope at 600× magnification and classified as intact or damaged acrosome based on the staining since FITC-PNA binds exclusively to the outer acrosomal membrane.
Sperm mitochondrial activity was assessed using a fluorescent dye Rhodamine 123 that is rapidly taken up by functional mitochondria. In brief, 5 μl of Rhodamine 123 (Sigma, U.S.A.) solution (1 mg/ml in DMSO) was added to 1 ml of diluted sperm suspension and incubated for 10 min at 25°C in the dark. Following incubation, the supernatant was removed by centrifugation (300× g, 10 min) and the sperm pellets were resuspended in 1 ml PBS. A drop of 10 μl of the suspension was placed on microscopic slides, covered with coverslips, and examined at 400× magnification under Olympus BX51 fluorescence microscope with Olympus Q5 camera. A total of 200 spermatozoa were examined per animal and expressed as percentage of mitochondrial activity.

The coding region of MsSPL26 without termination codons was amplified and inserted into the NcoI/BglII sites of the pCAMBIA1302 vector, resulting in the MsSPL26-GFP fusion construct. The MsSPL13-GFP and MsSPL26-GFP constructs were transformed into A. tumefaciens strain GV3101 and transiently expressed in N. benthamiana leaves. The fluorescence signal was detected after 2 d of incubation using an Olympus FluoView 3000 confocal microscope equipped with Olympus FluoView FV10-ASW 4.0 Viewer Software. As for visualizing the nucleus, 30 μM DAPI was used to stain the nucleus of the epidermal cells in N. benthamiana leaves for 10 min at 37 °C. GFP was excited at 488 nm and the emitted signal was captured at 500 to 540 nm. DAPI was excited at 408 nm and the emitted signal was captured at 425 to 475 nm. Images were captured using 5% of the maximum light intensity value and gain of 600 to 650.

Laser-Induced DNA Damage Imaging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Laser micro-irradiation and live-cell imaging methods were performed as described (Kim et al., 2019a (link)). Briefly, cells were seeded on glass-bottomed dishes (Ted Pella) and pre-sensitized with 10 μM BrdU for 24 h before laser-induced damage. Cells were visualized with 60X oil objective lens and laser-induced DNA damages were generated by a 405-nm laser beam (60% laser intensity) using a Fluoview 3000 confocal microscope (Olympus). During laser damage and live-cell imaging, cells were maintained in an environmental chamber (37°C, 5% CO2). All experiments were analyzed using FV-10-ASW3.1 software (Olympus). Fluorescence intensity at damage sites was calculated by comparing the intensity of damaged versus non-damaged sites within the same cell as a function of time. For each group, at least 10 individual cells were analyzed and quantification results were graphed using Prism software (GraphPad).

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.
