Strains N°24 and N°40 were incubated in a 4-well glass Lab-Tek®II Chamber Slide System (NUNC, Denmark) while inclined at approximately 45° to form a clear liquid-air interface, and placed in a moist sterile incubation box. The FLM assay was performed in the same cultures after 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, and 120 h incubation period. Treatments for each strain were in triplicates. The wells were rinsed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (LEAGENE, China) for 30 min. Then, the wells were labeled by FITC-ConA (Sigma, USA) for exopolysaccharides (EPS) and propidium iodide (PI; Sigma, USA) for bacterial nucleic acid, before rinsed finally with PBS. The slide was sealed with antifade mounting medium (Beyotime, China).
The pictures were taken with a Nikon ECLIPSE Ti-S Inverted Fluorescence Microscope (Nikon, Japan) equipped with 33 mm ND4/ND8 filters employing green filter detecting PI fluorescence (500–550/615 nm excitation/emission wavelengths) and blue filter to detect FITC fluorescence (400–490/525 nm excitation/emission wavelengths). The pictures were processed with NIS-Elements BR 3.0 software (Nikon, Japan).

Briefly, HUVECs were seeded onto 6-well plates with a density of 5 × 104 cells per well. After 24 h incubation, except of the control group and Cu-DCA NZs group, H2O2 (150 µM) was added to the wells. Subsequently, the samples (PBS, DCA and Cu-DCA NZs solution) were immediately added for incubation of 24 h. Then, the group of Cu-DCA NZs + H2O2 + NIR wells was exposed to laser irradiation (808 nm, 1 W·cm− 2, 5 min). After irradiation, the DCFH-DA probe was added according to the instructions of the reactive oxygen detection kit and incubated for 30 min.

Cytotoxicity Evaluation of PC-DOX in CT26 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CT26 (mouse colon cancer cells) was cultured in DMEM containing 10% (v:v) FBS (Gibco Life Technologies, USA) and 1% (v:v) penicillin–streptomycin (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). Cells were incubated at 37 °C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO2 (Thermo Forma 311, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).
CT26 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were rinsed with PBS, digested with trypsin, then centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 3 min to pellet the cells. The cells were then counted using a cell counter, and seeded into a 24-well plate at a density of 15 × 105 cells·well-1. At the end, the cells were cultured for about 16–18 h.
The preparation and enzymolysis of PC–DOX could refer to the steps in Section 4.4. After enzymolysis, PC–DOX was diluted with DMEM (DOX, 2.5 μg/mL), 1 mL of diluted sample was incubated with the cells for 4 h and cultured at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator. After that, the cells were washed with PBS and imaged using a Nikon eclipse Ti-S inverted fluorescence microscope (Ti-S, Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).
Finally, the cells were digested with trypsin, then centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 3 min to pellet the cells. Using the DMEM medium to resuspend the cells and using a flow cytometer (BD C6plus, Waltham, MA, USA), we quantified the fluorescence intensity in cells.

Comparative Adipose Tissue Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microscopic imaging was done with a Nikon Eclipse Ti-s inverted fluorescence microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) and Nikon digital sight DS-U2-camera (Nikon), and images were further processed with NIS Elements (Nikon), ZEN 2012 software (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). Confocal imaging was done with LSM710 and with Zeiss Axio Observer Z1 inverted microscope culture and the vascularized adipose tissue model contained lipid accumulating cells, which the undifferentiated cells did not contain (Fig. 1). Upon morphological inspection, the lipid accumulation in the vascularized adipose tissue model was more evenly spread out than in adipocyte culture, where there were fewer adipocytes that contained larger lipid storages. This morphology was also described in our previous study (Huttala et al., 2018) (link) but could not be confirmed by the quantitative results of lipid per cell measurements (Fig. 1). Of the secreted proteins studied, adiponectin was significantly increased in the vascularized adipose tissue model (Fig. 1), but the secretion of leptin and FABP4 was similar in both models.

To evaluate the effect of (−)-oleocanthal on expression and localization of ERα, BT-474 cells were seeded on 8-chamber culture slides (Becton Dickinson and Company, NJ, USA) at 4×104 cells/chamber (2 replicates/group) and allowed to attach overnight in medium supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were then washed in PBS and incubated with vehicle control or treatment medium containing various concentrations of (−)-oleocanthal in mitogen-free or 10 nM 17β-estradiol-supplemented media for 24 h. At the end of treatment, cells were washed in pre-cooled PBS, and fixed with 1:1 volume of methanol: acetone precooled to − 20°C for 2 min. Fixed cells were washed in PBS and blocked with 2% BSA-TBST for 1 h at room temperature. Afterwards, BT-474 cells were incubated in primary antibody to ERα (1:3000) in 2% BSA-TBST overnight at 4°C. Thereafter, cells were washed in pre-cooled PBS followed by incubation with goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated secondary antibody (1:3000) in 2% BSA-TBST for 1 h at room temperature. After final washing, cells were embedded in Vectashield mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories IN, Burlingame, CA, USA). Fluorescent images were captured using Nikon Eclipse Ti–S inverted fluorescence microscope (Norcross, GA, USA) at a magnification of 200×.

MN9D cells grown in glass-bottomed plates were treated with 250 μM MPP+ or 4'I- MPP+ for 12 h and then with 300 nM DAPI in KRB-HEPES for 15 min in the dark at 37 °C [24 (link)]. Then cells were rinsed and PBS was added to cover the cell layer. Increase in nuclear DAPI fluorescence (Ex/Em at 358/461 nm) due to chromatin condensation was observed using a Nikon ECLIPSE Ti-S inverted fluorescence microscope. The controls were treated similarly except that MPP+ or 4'I-MPP+ was omitted from the initial incubation medium.

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.
