Exosome Cellular Uptake and Localization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cellular uptake of exosomes was assessed by confocal microcopy [45 (link)]. iPSCs-Exos and MSCs-Exos were labeled with DiI fluorescent dye (1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate; Beyotime, China), which labels the plasma membrane. Briefly, exosomes were incubated with DiI dye for 1 h in the dark. Then labeled-exosomes were resuspended in 4 ml PBS followed by ultracentrifugation at 110,000 g for 1 h. The pellets were resuspended in 100 μl of PBS. HCECs were incubated with labeled exosomes for 24 h and then washed with PBS to remove unbound exosomes. Mounting medium with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Vector Laboratories, US) was used to stain nuclei, and images were captured under a confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany).
To examine the uptake of iPSCs/MSCs-Exos by the corneal epithelium in vivo, DiI-stained exosomes were applied topically to the cornea of rats, and assessment occured 24 h later. The cornea was then obtained from rats and stained with DAPI, mounted on a slide, and imaged with confocal microscopy. The corneal epithelium of rats was also analyzed by TEM with the same method described above.

A549-ACE2 and Huh-7 cells were plated in six-well plates, and we treated the cells with palbociclib, mimosine or serum starvation for cell cycle arrest for 48h. After washing cells three times with PBS, cell membranes were stained with fluorescent probe Dil (1,1′-dioctadecyl-3,3,3′,3′-tetramethylindocarbocyanine perchlorate (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Then cells were washed and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and blocked with PBS containing 1% BSA. Cells were incubated overnight with primary antibody ACE2 (AF933, R&D Systems) at 4 °C. The corresponding secondary antibody Donkey anti-Goat IgG (H + L) Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 (Invitrogen, A-11055) was used for incubation for 1h at room temperature in dark. Subsequently, cells were counterstained with DAPI (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) at room temperature and immunofluorescence signals were detected using Stimulated emission depletion (STED) confocal microscope (Leica TCS SP8 gSTED 3X, Leica, Germany). The mean intensity of ACE2 was evaluated by LAS X software. Mander's overlap coefficient (MOC) was used to evaluate ACE2 co-localized with the cell membrane as a fraction of the total ACE2 protein by Coloc 2 in Image J, in which the Manders' tM2 (Above autothreshold) was obtained.

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.
