Slides were retrieved and air dried prior to staining. After rinsing in 1x Tris buffered saline (TBS), they were blocked with 1x TBS / 1% bovine serum albumin/10% FBS/0.3 M glycine for 1 hr at room temperature. Slides were then stained with anti-phospho-histone γH2AX (Merck), anti-53bp1 (Bethyl Laboratories) and anti-Insulin (Dako) overnight at +4 °C. Next, the slides were rinsed and incubated with secondary antibodies, anti-rabbit Alexa 488, anti-rabbit Alexa 647, anti-mouse Alexa 488, anti-guinea pig Alexa 547 (Life Technologies) and DAPI for 1 hour at room temperature. Finally, slides were rinsed in 1x TBS before being mounted with Hardset Antifade mounting medium (Vectashield) and a glass coverslip.

hiPSC-CMs were lysed in RIPA buffer supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (all from Sigma-Aldrich). Equal amounts of samples were mixed with non-reducing Laemmli sample buffer (BioRad, Hercules, CA, USA) and denatured at 96 °C for 5 min. Proteins were then separated on 10–12% SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Immobilon-P; Millipore). Membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat dry milk powder in Tris-buffered saline. Primary antibodies used for western blotting were as follows: anti-tubulin (1/1000; T5168, Sigma-Aldrich), anti-caspase-3 (1/500; #9662, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), anti-cleaved caspase-3 (1/200; #9661, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Bax (1/500; #5023, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-Bcl-2 (1/200; #4223, Cell Signaling Technology) and anti-phospho-Histone γ-H2AX (1/1000; 05-636-200, Merck Millipore). Secondary antibodies were anti-IgG rabbit (1/5000; P0448 Dako, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and anti-IgG mouse (1/5000; A9044, Sigma-Aldrich). Detection was carried out using peroxidase-conjugated antibodies and SuperSignalTM West Femto (ThermoFisher Scientific). Reactions were visualized using an Amershan Imager 600 (GE Healthcare, Chicago, IL, USA) and quantified with the ImageJ software (ver. 1.53t, NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Cells were lysed in Staph-A buffer (1.6 mM NaH2PO4; 8.6 mM Na2HPO4; 1% Triton X-100; 0.1% SDS; 0.1% NaCl; 0.5% NaDoc; 2 mM AEBSF; 20 mg/mL each of aprotinin and leupeptin) and the obtained protein lysates (100 µg each) were subjected to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and transferred to PVDF membrane (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). Blots were probed with the following monoclonal antibodies: anti-PARP (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, UK), anti-phospho-Histone γH2AX (Millipore), anti-TPX2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), and anti-c-MYC (Santa Cruz Biotechnology); and polyclonal antibodies: anti-GOLPH3 (Abcam), anti-Beclin-1 (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA), anti-LC3A (Cell Signaling Technology Inc., Danvers, MA, USA), anti-MYO18A (Abnova, Taipei, Taiwan), anti-Histone H2AX (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA), and anti-MYCN (Novus Biologicals). Proteins were visualized by West Dura Extended chemiluminescent detection (Thermo Scientific, Carlsbad, CA, USA) using HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Thermo Scientific). Blots were re-probed with anti-β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) as loading control. Bands signal intensity was measured by densitometry using Image Lab 6.0 software (ChemiDoc, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), and normalized to the loading control.

After irradiation, the cells on the TW insert membrane (#3460, Corning) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min, washed with PBS, permeabilized (100 mM TrisCl pH 7.4, 50 mM EDTA, 0.5% Triton100 in H2O) and blocked (3% BSA, 0.1% Tween20, 4xSSC, 7.7 mM NaN3 in H2O). The cells on the membranes were incubated overnight at 4 °C with the primary antibodies anti-phospho histone γH2AX (Millipore, 05-636) and anti-53BP1 (Abcam, ab21083) in PBS. The cells were washed with PBS and incubated with a secondary antibody labeled with Alexa488 (A 2102, Invitrogen) or Cy3 (BA 1034-05, Boster) and DAPI 1 mg/ml (Thermo Scientific) for 90 min at room temperature. The membranes were cut manually and transferred onto slides, mounted with immu-mount and cover-slipped. The γH2AX and 53PB1 foci per nucleus were identified by eye and calculated manually using a Leica DMi8 fluorescent microscope (USA).

Immunofluorescence Analysis of Neuroblastoma

Immunofluorescence analysis was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded NB specimens (4 μm-thick) or on cytospins as previously described [90 (link)]. The following antibodies were used: monoclonal anti-phospho-Histone γH2AX (1:20, Millipore) and anti-TPX2 (1:20, Santa Cruz Biotechnology); polyclonal anti-GOLPH3 (1:10, Abcam), and anti-Beclin-1 (1:30 Novus Biologicals). We used isotype matched non-binding mAbs in all antibody staining experiments to avoid nonspecific reactivity. Results were photographically documented using fluorescence microscope Axio Imager M2 equipped with ApoTome System (Carl Zeiss, Oberkoche, Germany). For cytospins, values represent percentages from at least 1000 counted positive and negative cells. For NB specimens, each tumor area tested contained malignant cells as assessed by histologic examination. Quantification of immunofluorescence positive tumor cells was performed on serial tissue sections, thus allowing quantification in tumor areas selected by the pathologist. Tumor cells were identified in each sample using the NB specific marker NCAM (NB56) [91 (link)]. The proportion of immunofluorescence positive cells counted was at least 100 to 1000 cells and reported in the percentage for the subsequent statistical analysis.

After doxorubicin treatment, cells were dissociated with TrypLE Express and stained in suspension. For apoptosis detection, cells were stained with 7–AAD (7–aminoactinomycin D) and Annexin V (both BD Biosciences) following the manufacturer’s instructions. 6 µM of camptothecin (Sigma–Aldrich) was used as a positive control to set the flow cytometry gates. For DNA damage detection, cells were stained with Anti–phospho–histone γ–H2AX (Millipore) and propidium iodide (Life Technologies) following standard protocols58 . For whole cell ROS detection, CellROX Green (Life Technologies) was used at a 1 µM concentration, incubating for 30 min, excluding dead cells using SYTOX Red and using 20 µM menadione (Sigma–Aldrich) as a positive control. For mitochondrial superoxide detection, MitoSOX Red (Life Technologies) was used at a 5 µM concentration, incubating for 30 min, excluding dead cells using SYTOX Green and using 20 µM antimycin A (Sigma–Aldrich) as a positive control59 . Cells were analyzed by flow cytometry on a BD Biosciences FACS Aria II using FACSDiva software. Data analysis was performed using FlowJo X (TreeStar).

Cells were grown on glass coverslip for 24 h. After irradiation for 4, 8, 12, and 24 h, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 30 min at room temperature, and stained with antiphospho-histone γ-H2AX (Millipore, France, diluted 1: 250) and the rabbit anti-human light chain 3 antibody (LC3) (1: 200, Abcam, UK) at 4 °C overnight. After washing in PBS, a secondary antibody (1: 100) conjugated to FITC was added and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Then, cells were incubated with 0.25 mg/mL DAPI for 3 mins. The images were examined under a laser scanning confocal microscope.

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.
