Sourced in Germany, United States

Anti-sarcomeric alpha actinin is a protein that plays a crucial role in the structure and function of muscle cells. It is a key component of the sarcomere, the basic contractile unit of muscle fibers. Anti-sarcomeric alpha actinin is used in research to study the organization and dynamics of the cytoskeleton in muscle cells.

For immunocytochemistry analysis, control, doxorubicin-exposed and washout iPSC-CMs were fixed with ice-cold 99 % methanol (Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany) for 10 min at −20 °C. Then, cells were permeabilized with 0.3 % Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) for 20 min at room temperature. Cells were blocked with 5 % bovine serum albumin (Sigma, Steinheim, Germany) for 1 h at room temperature and incubated with anti-sarcomeric alpha actinin (Abcam, 1:200) and anti-cardiac troponin T (Abcam, 1:200) for 1 h at 37 °C. The cells were washed 3 times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with Ca2+ and Mg2+ for 5 min. Primary antibodies were detected using species matched respective Alexa Fluor-488/568-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, Darmstadt, Germany) with 1 h incubation at 37 °C. The cells were washed 3 times with PBS for 5 min and then mounted with Prolong® Gold anti-fade mount with DAPI (Invitrogen, Darmstadt, Germany). Cell images were taken with an Axiovert 200 fluorescence microscope and Axiovision 4.3 software (Carl Zeiss).

CFs cultured alone or in the presence of CMs were cultured on glass coverslips in 6-well plates. The cells were subjected to H/R as described above. Then, the cells were incubated with 4% fixative solution (Solarbio, China) for 30 min and blocked in 10% normal goat serum (Solarbio, China)/PBS for 30 min. The cells were incubated overnight at 4 °C with anti-NLRP3 (1:200), anti-ASC (1:200), anti-cleaved-caspase1 (1:200), anti-sarcomeric alpha actinin (1:200, Abcam, USA) and anti-Vimentin (1:200, Abcam, USA) primary antibodies. Thereafter, the cells were washed with PBS and incubated with goat anti-rabbit IgG/FITC (1:500, MultiSciences, China), goat anti-chicken IgG/Cy5 (1:500, Solarbio, China), and Cy3-conjugated Affinipure goat anti-mouse IgG (1:50, Proteintech, USA) secondary antibodies (30 min, room temperature) to visualize NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), cleaved caspase1, Vimentin and sarcomeric alpha actinin. We used 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (1:200, Beyotime, China) to visualize the nuclei. Finally, the fluorescence was visualized using a fluorescence microscope. Three fields of view were randomly selected to observe the fluorescent protein in each batch of cells by one blinded for allocation.

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.
