Tissues were treated with 2 μM
voltage sensitive dye, Di-4-ANEPPS (Invitrogen) in DMEM for 30 min
at room temperature. The tissues were paced at 1.5–2 Hz with
a Pulsar 6i Stimulator (FHC, Inc.) at 2× their excitation threshold.
Tissue contraction was stopped by 20 min treatment with 10 μM
blebbistatin. Dye fluorescence was recorded on an MVX-10 Olympus fluorescence
microscope (Olympus Corporation) equipped with a charged coupled device
(CCD) (Cascade 128, Photometrics). The 1 cm sensor had 128 ×
128 pixel resolution. Recordings were performed at 500 frames/s with
0 exposure time. Maps were generated by scroll software.

The Tg(drl:hoxa9) embryos at 28-somite stage were fixed in 4% PFA plus 1% DMSO in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PB). Embryos were then washed three times using PB and dehydrated in MeOH at −20°C, followed by pre-chilled acetone treatment for 7–20 min at −20°C. Embryos were then washed with incubation buffer (IB, 0.1 M PB buffer containing 0.2% BSA and 0.5% Triton-X) three times. After that, embryos were incubated with anti-myc (Proteintech, 60003-2-1g, China) overnight at 4°C, washed with IB and then incubated with 594-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (H + L) secondary antibody (Proteintech, SA00013-3, China). The stained embryos were imaged under a MVX10 fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Japan).

Quantifying Cell Proliferation in Zebrafish

Embryos were phenotyped at 48 h.p.f. and scored prior to labelling. EdU incorporation was achieved by soaking embryos in 0.2 mM EdU (5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine; Invitrogen), 10% DMSO in E3 medium on ice for 60 min. Following washing (3 × 5 min in E3) and fixation in 4% PFA/PBS for 90 min, embryos were again washed (3 × 5 min in PBST; 1 × dH2O) and incubated in acetone at −20 °C for 7 min, then permeabilized in 1% DMSO/1% Triton-X100/PBS for 1 h at RT. EdU incorporation was detected by incubation in PBS/0.3% Triton-X100 containing 0.2 mM Alexafluor-555 (Life Technologies), 0.1 M L-ascorbic acid, 100 mM Tris pH 8.5, and 2 mM CuSO4 for 2 h at RT and washed (5 × 5 min PBST) prior to imaging. Embryos were imaged on an Olympus MVX10 fluorescence microscope and the number of EdU positive cells in caudal haemopoietic tissue counted in Fiji using the Find Maxima algorithm.

Visualizing Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Colonization

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mycorrhized M. truncatula roots were washed and treated with 10% KOH for 6 min at 95 °C, then placed in ink/acetic acid/water (5:5:90, v/v/v) for 3 min as described by Vierheilig et al.58 (link). R. irregularis colonisation level was quantified using the grid-line intersect method as described by Giovannetti and Mosse59 (link) and imaged under an Olympus MVX10 fluorescence microscope. Mycorrhized roots were also stained with WGA-Alexa Fluor 4886 (link),16 (link). In brief, harvested roots were placed in 50% ethanol for at least 4 h and then transferred to 20% (w/v) KOH for 2–3 days, followed by 0.1 M HCl for 1–2 h at room temperature. After HCl was removed, the sample was rinsed twice with distilled H2O and once with PBS buffer (pH 7.4), then immersed in PBS/WGA-Alexa Fluor 488 staining solution (0.2 μg/mL) in the dark for more than 6 h. Images of WGA-AF488-stained arbuscules were obtained under a Leica SP8 confocal microscope (Germany). GUS staining patterns were observed and photographed with a Zeiss Axio Imager A2 light microscope (Germany).

Larval Hemocyte Recruitment Quantification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recruitment assays were conducted as described by Kadandale et al., 2010 (link). Briefly, third instar larvae expressing EGFP under the HmlΔGal4 driver were damaged at the dorsal face between the A5 and A7 segments using a sharpened tungsten filament. The injury was performed avoiding the location of sessile hemocytes or crowded regions. Larvae were then transferred to agar-apple juice plates; after 6 h, the number of hemocytes recruited to the injury site were quantified and evaluated. For each condition (Control and Prpk-IR), four larvae were wounded and recorded. The experiment was done in quadruplicate. Hemocyte images were taken with an Olympus MVX10 fluorescence microscope, with ×1 objective and ×5 magnification.

GFP Silencing in C. elegans

Male cross progeny were scored for silencing of GFP expressed from nrIs20 (Psur-5::sur-5::gfp) with a fixed magnification on a MVX10 Fluorescence Microscope (Olympus; Fig. 2). Genotypes of scored progeny were confirmed for presence or absence of eri-1 by PCR using primers P7 and P8. Animals with at least one nucleus >10-fold dimmer than the brightest nucleus were scored as silenced, and the proportion of such animals was determined for each genotype (Fig. 2). 95% confidence intervals and p-values for comparison were calculated as described earlier (Jose et al., 2009 (link)).

RNAi Silencing Optimization and Validation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Fig. S2 G and H, forward- and reverse-strand RNA oligos (IDT) against gfp or unc-22 were either injected into one gonad arm of animals at a final concentration of 100 ng/µl individually or after annealing together (cooling at 1°C/min from 95°C to 25°C). The integrity of the injected RNA was checked using nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. GFP silencing in L4-staged or young adult progeny of each injected worm at 15°C were examined between 4 and 6 d after injection at fixed magnification on a MVX10 fluorescence microscope (Olympus). After scoring for GFP silencing, worms injected with unc-22 dsRNA were scored as silenced if they twitched while suspended in 3 mM tetramisole hydrochloride for at least 30 s.
For Fig. S3 A, the body cavities of L4-staged HC567 animals were injected with either 750 ng/µl in vitro–transcribed gfp-dsRNA (made by J. Marre, University of Maryland, College Park, MD) or 10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.5, and the number of brightly fluorescent intestinal nuclei in each injected animal at 15°C was counted after injection at a fixed magnification on a fluorescence microscope (MVX10; Olympus).

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.
