Live Cell Tracking of Wound Healing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Wound healing was monitored using a BioStation IM-Q Time Lapse Imaging System (Nikon) and 4T1 cell tracking was performed using Volocity® Software -Tracking in Volocity Software (Perkin Elmer). Cells were randomly selected for live cell tracking analyses and cell nucleus position identified in each frame in a 20 minute interval over 4 hours and subsequently connected by the built in tracking algorithm followed by quantification of average speed, distance and directionality, which was defined as displacement divided by the total distance, i.e. a cell moving in a straight line defined as 1.

Twenty thousand cells per quadrant were plated in a 35mm Hi‐Q4 culture dish (Ibidi, Planegg, Germany). ARN‐3236 was added, and time‐lapse phase‐contrast images (4 z‐sections, 2 μm each) were acquired every 2 min for a total of 24 h using a BioStation IM‐Q time‐lapse imaging system (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) fitted with a temperature‐controlled growth chamber. Video analysis was done through nis‐elements viewer 4.50 imaging software (Nikon), and Imaris (Bitplane, Zürich, Switzerland) was used to export the video.

HeLa‐H2B/tub cells 30 expressing H2B‐mCherry and EGFP‐α‐tubulin were kindly provided by Jan Ellenberg (EMBL Heidelberg, Germany) and used for time‐lapse microscopy as described previously 67. Briefly, cells were plated on μ‐slide 8‐well ibiTreat chambers (Ibidi) and imaged at 5‐min intervals for 48 h on a Nikon BioStation IM‐Q Time Lapse Imaging System using a 20×/0.8 NA air objective, a 1.3 megapixel cooled monochrome camera (Nikon), and Nikon software for image acquisition. Alternatively, HeLa‐H2B/tub cells were imaged at 15‐min intervals on a DeltaVision deconvolution microscope using a 20×/0.75 air objective.
HeLadox‐YFP‐TIARr cells were plated on a 12‐well glass bottom plate (Cellvis) and imaged at 15‐min intervals for 12 h on a Nikon Ti‐E microscope with an integrated perfect focus system using a 40x/0.95 NA air objective, a 4.2 megapixel cooled monochrome sCMOS pco.pge camera, and NIS elements JOBS software for image acquisition. All cells were kept in 10% FBS/DMEM at 37°C and 5% CO2 during imaging. Image processing was performed using ImageJ software (NIH, http://rsbweb.nih.gov/ij/).

Quantifying Phagocytosis of Fluorescent Beads by MDMs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After 60 min of synchronized phagocytosis of the beads by the MDMs at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator, phagocytosis was stopped by 3 washes with PBS before adding 2 mL of 4% paraformaldehyde (Cat # P6148, Sigma-Aldrich, MO) and incubated at room temperature for 10 min for fixation. The fixed MDMs were then washed 3 times with PBS. Randomized images of a total of 100 images were captured using scanning modes for red Alexa Fluor 594 fluorescent dye (excitation 490 nm, emission 594 nm) using BioStation IM/IM-Q software version 2.21 available from BioStation IM-Q Time Lapse Imaging System (Nikon, Japan). Images were acquired using a x40 objective with randomized automated acquisition following the manufacturer’s instructions. The phagocytosed beads were manually counted by an investigator blinded to the group assignment.

Sunitinib Exposure in HMEC-1 Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HMEC-1 cells (2×104/500 µl) with sunitinib (6 µM) for 72 h or HMEC6µM cells (2×104/500 µl) without sunitinib (6 µM) for 72 h were incubated in 4-well Hi-Q4 dishes (Biovalley) at 37°C in an incubator with 100% humidified atmosphere at 5% CO2. The images were recorded in real time using the BioStation IM-Q Time Lapse Imaging system (Nikon Corporation). Following the addition of sunitinib, culture plates were immediately put into the culture chamber of the time-lapse imaging system. The video recording usually began after a lapse of 15 min, which was required for the choice of image fields under microscopy.

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.
