Colocalization of HMGB1 and Exosomes in AECs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
OS induction of AECs releases HMGB1 from the cells’ nuclei to cytoplasm, where it is expected to be picked up by exosomes. To colocalize HMGB1 inside exosomes, IF staining was performed for both HMGB1 and exosome marker CD9. Once cells reached confluence, culture media were removed, and cells were rinsed with PBS, harvested with trypsin EDTA (Corning, Corning, NY), and centrifuged for 10 minutes at 3000 RPM. Cells were resuspended in complete media and seeded on glass coverslips at a density of 30,000 cells per slip and incubated overnight. Cells, untreated and CSE-treated (48 hours), were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA), permeablized with 0.5% Triton X, and blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA, Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) in PBS prior to incubation with primary antibodies HMGB1 (Cell Signaling) and CD9 (Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom) diluted 1:300 in 5% BSA overnight at 4°C. After washing with PBS, slides were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488- or 594-conjugated secondary antibodies (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA) diluted 1:1000 in 5% BSA for 30 minutes in the dark. Slides were washed with PBS, treated with NucBlue® Live ReadyProbes® Reagent (Life Technologies) for 2 minutes, and mounted using Mowiol 4–88 mounting medium (Sigma-Aldrich). Slides were dried at room temperature and stored in the dark until imaging.

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.
