Live and whole-mount hybridized embryos were photographed on agarose-coated dishes using either an epifluorescence Leica MZ16 F stereomicroscope (1X Plan Apo objective, NA0.141) (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) equipped with digital camera or an Axio Zoom.V16 fluorescence stereomicroscope (Zeiss). Phalloidin-stained embryos were acquired on an Axiovert 200M fluorescence microscope (Zeiss) equipped with ApoTome.2 to enhance resolution. Evaluation of ISV defects was carried out on developing vessels in the region of the trunk above the prolongation of the yolk, as indicated in Figure 4A.
Confocal analysis of filopodia was performed using a LSM510 laser scanning microscope (Zeiss). To this purpose, 26–28 hpf embryos were fixed overnight with a PBS-based solution containing 1% PFA, 0.1% glutaraldehyde and 3% sucrose and mounted on glass slides with Mowiol 4.88 (Sigma). For consistency reasons and in order to minimize stage-related discrepancies, filopodia evaluation was carried out on the ISV pair in which the first vessel had already reached the roof of the trunk and the adjacent vessel was still growing up.

Microfluidic Bead and Cell Rolling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The beads experiments were performed with a Nikon Eclipse TE 300 inverted microscope, at a 20× objective and with a MQ003MG-CM B&W camera (Ximea). The camera was controlled with the XimeaCop software acquiring at 200 frames per second (FPS). The cell experiments were performed on a LSM510 laser scanning microscope (Zeiss) equipped with 20× dry objective. The cell movies were acquired at a frame rate of 1.27 FPS. Fluigent Flow-EZ pressure controller ranging from 0 mbar to 1000 mbar was used to apply pressure on the glass vials. 100 μm inner diameter polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, IDEX 1571) tubing was used to connect the glass vials to the microfluidic chip through a custom-made vial cap. The bead and cell movies were analysed using FIJJ software and manual particle tracking plugins.
The chip was primed with deionized water at high pressure (200 mbar) to remove bubbles. A first set of particles (beads per cells) were loaded in the chip at 70 mbar to be trapped. Once all trapping sites were filled the applied pressure was decreased to 20 mbar for the rolling behaviour of beads and 2 mbar for cell rolling. After each use the PDMS slab was removed from the chip and channels were cleaned with bleach (14%) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4 96%, TECHNIC). The cleaned chips were then bonded with PDMS and used again for further experiments.

Immunocytochemistry for confocal microscopy was performed on NFκB. NHEKs were seeded in each well of the slide chamber at a density of 1×104 cells per well. The cells were treated with HDM (10 mg/ml) or C48/80 (10 µg/ml) for 6 hours. After being washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS for 10 minutes, and then permeabilized with PBS containing 0.5% Triton X-100 (PBS-T) for 15 minutes. The cells were incubated with PBS-T containing 1% bull serum albumin for 1 hour and stained with the anti-NFκB (1:150; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) overnight at 4℃, followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:500; Invitrogen) for 1 hour. Images were visualized using confocal microscopy with a 20X objective on an LSM 510 laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss) and analyzed using the LSM 5 browser imaging software.

Live cell imaging was taken by LSM510 Laser Scanning Microscope and Axio Observer Z1 (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). The relative intensity was normalized by the arithmetic mean intensity (from Zen software 2.6 blue edition).

For immunofluorescence assays, MCF-7 cells were seeded onto glass coverslips in 6-well plates and grown for 24 h. Then, media were replaced by fresh ones with 10% FBS and containing either doxorubicin alone (1 μM) and/or melatonin (1 nM), or vehicle (ethanol at a final concentration lower than 0.0001%). After 12 h, cells were washed with PBS, fixed in 4% formaldehyde solution for 30 min and then permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100/PBS for 15 min (twice). Coverslips were incubated with anti-TWIST1 primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C, followed by 1 h incubation with fluorescence-tagged secondary antibody at room temperature, and then stained with DAPI for 5 min. Finally, coverslips were observed, and cell images were captured at 40× magnification with an LSM-510 laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss Inc., Sliedrecht, The Netherlands) fluorescence microscope.

Mitochondrial membrane potential was analyzed by measuring tetramethylrodamine ester (TMRE) (87,917, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) followed by an established method [19 ]. Cells were plated 4 well chambered coverglass (155382, Thermo Fisher Scientific) in 0.5 ml culture media.

Negative control was treated with 50 μM trifluoromethoxy carbonylcyanide phenylhydrazone (FCCP, C2920, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) in serum free media for 15 min at 37 Co before TMRE stanning. 4 well chambered cover glass was placed on LSM510 Laser Scanning Microscope in the presence of the TMRE and Hoechst 33342. Live cell imaging was taken by LSM510 Laser Scanning Microscope and Axio Observer Z1 (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).

Immunofluorescence staining was carried out with antimyosin heavy chain antibody (Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany) and Alexa555-conjuagted antimouse IgG antibody (Invitrogen) as previously described [65 (link)]. A total of 50 myocardial cells were randomly selected, and the surface area of these cells was measured with ImageJ v4.16 software. Detection of nuclear acetylation was done by immunofluorescence. Staining for acetylated histone was performed using the immunofluorescence method previously described [66 (link)], with some modifications. In brief, cardiomyocytes were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde for 15 min, blocked in 1% BSA and 0.5% NP-40/TBS-Ca for 1 h, and then incubated overnight with anti-acetyl-histone-H3 (K9) antibody or anti-acetyl-histone-H3 (K122) antibody with anti-myosin heavy chain antibody. Further, the cells were incubated with antirabbit Cy3 antibody and antimouse DyLight-649 antibody for 2 h and then stained with Hoechst 33432 (Nacalai Tesque). Immunofluorescence was observed using a LSM 510 Laser Scanning Microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany).

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.
