SW1088 and SW1783 cell suspensions (3.0 × 104 cells/ml) were plated on 35 mm confocal dishes (Biosharp). Then, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) (Roche) with U73122, DMSO, or PBS was added to the medium. After 48 h, cells were fixed with 70% acidic ethanol for 20 min at 4 °C, followed by incubation with primary anti-BrdU antibody (ab6326, Abcam), then Alexa-488 secondary antibody, and finally DAPI. BrdU- and DAPI-positive cells were then counted in ImageJ.
For cell cycle analysis, cells were serum starved for 24 h, and then the medium was replaced with complete growth medium. After 12 or 24 h, cells were collected for DNA staining using propidium iodide (PI), and DNA content was analysed by using a BD Canto II Flow Cytometry System (BD Biosciences) and FlowJo software, v10.6.
For the apoptosis assay, cells were serum starved as described above and then freshly collected and stained for early apoptosis markers using a fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) annexin V apoptosis detection kit (BD Biosciences) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Annexin V and PI staining were measured using a flow cytometer and analysed using FlowJo v10.6.

DNA fiber analyses were carried out as reported with minor modification (33 (link)). Briefly, cells were first pulse-labeled with 25 μM IdU for 30 min, washed three times with PBS, then pulse-labeled with 250 μM CldU for 30 min followed by 4 hrs of treatment with 2mM HU. Cells were harvested and resuspended in PBS for a final concentration of 1500 cells/μl. Cells were then lysed in lysis buffer (200 mM Tris–HCl (pH 7.5), 50 mM EDTA, 0.5% SDS), DNA fibers were stretched onto positively charged glass slides and fixed in methanol:acetic acid (3:1). After rehydration in PBS twice for 5 min, DNA were denatured with 2.5 M HCl for 1 h, slides were then washed with PBS for three times and blocked with 5% BSA at 37°C for 1 h. The newly replicated ldU and CIdU tracks were immunostained using mouse-anti-BrdU (1/100, 347580, BD Biosciences) and rat-anti-BrdU (1/100, Ab6326, Abcam) primary antibodies, and Alexa Fluor 546 goat-anti-mouse IgG1 (1/500, A-21123, ThermoFisher Scientific) and Alexa Fluor 488 goat-anti-rat (1/500, A-11006, ThermoFisher Scientific) secondary antibodies respectively.

After clinical examination, rabbits were humanely killed with an intravenous injection of potassium chloride (1 mg/kg) under deep anesthesia, and corneas were extracted. The half of a cornea was subjected to histologic assays, and another half to molecular assays.
For histologic examination, the frozen sections were subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining, immunostaining for BrdU, p63, and CK (cytokeratin) 3/12. For detection of BrdU-labelled nuclei, rat mAb to BrdU (1 : 100, ab6326, Abcam) was used. For p63 and CK 3/12 immunostaining, goat mAb to rabbit p63 (1 : 100, ab124762, Abcam), and mouse mAb to rabbit CK3/12 (1 : 100, ab68260, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were used as primary antibodies. Secondary antibodies used were goat anti-rat IgG, TRITC (Millipore, Billerica Massachusetts 01821, USA) for BrdU and Ck3/12, and goat anti-mouse IgG Alexa 488 (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) for p63. Nuclei were counterstained using Hoechst 33342 (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA).
The stained slides were observed under a fluorescent microscope (BX-61, Olympus, Melville, NY, USA) with ×200 magnification. The number of positively stained cells was counted in three different sections of each eye, and the average count was determined.

After antigen retrieval, deparaffinized pancreatic tissue sections were blocked with normal donkey serum and immunostained with anti-insulin (N1542; Dako North America, Carpinteria, CA), anti-glucagon (PA1–85465; Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, IL), anti-GPR43 (PAB16402; Abnova), or anti-BrdU (ab6326; Abcam), followed by incubation with secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 or Alexa Fluor 594 and counterstained with DAPI. For β-cell mass analysis, images were captured using a Hamamatsu NanoZoomer HT-2.0 slide scanner and were analyzed using Image-Pro Plus software. A minimum of five slides per animal, 100 μm apart, were used to quantify the relative pancreatic β-cell area, by dividing the total pancreatic area by the insulin-positive (Ins+) area. The percentage of proliferating β-cells was calculated by dividing the number of BrdU-positive (BrdU+) and Ins+ cells by the number of Ins+ cells.

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.
