The 143B and U2OS cells were grown in 24-well plates to 30% confluency; thereafter, the growth medium was replaced with fresh growth medium containing either Cs-g-PLLD/siAEG-1 or Cs-g-PLLD-FA/siAEG-1 (siAEG-1 was labeled with cy3, and the concentration of siRNA in each well was 50 nM, the quantity of Cs-g-PLLD or Cs-g-PLLD-FA in each well was 10 μg). Next, the 24-well culture plates were incubated at 37°C for 6 hours. After 24 hours incubation in fresh growth medium, cells were analyzed for siRNA uptake using an inverted fluorescence microscope (IX71; Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Cells were also collected by trypsinization, centrifuged, resuspended in PBS, and analyzed by flow cytometry (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA).
For confocal laser scanning microscopy observations, 143B and U2OS cells (5×104 cells/well) were seeded in a 35-mm glass-bottomed culture dish (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, MA, USA) and were incubated for 24 hours. After in vitro transfection for 4 hours (siAEG-1 was labeled with cy3, and the concentration of siRNA in each well was 50 nM, the quantity of Cs-g-PLLD or Cs-g-PLLD-FA in each well was 10 μg), the cells were stained with DAPI, directly observed using the Olympus FluoView confocal microscope and analyzed using FV10-ASW viewer software (Olympus Corporation).

Quantifying Vessel-Adjacent Proteins by Confocal Microscopy

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunofluorescent staining sections were analyzed using an Olympus laser scanning confocal microscope (FV1000, Olympus, Japan). z stacks of images were scanned at high resolution and were processed and reconstructed in three dimensions with the FV10-ASW Viewer software (version 4.2, Olympus, Japan).
Quantification of images was carried out with Image-Pro Plus (Media Cybernetics, USA) according to previous reports and with some adjustment (Kusumbe et al., 2014 (link); Schneider et al., 2017 (link)). Specifically, we lined out an area around the vessels with a range of 20 μm (Itkin et al., 2016 (link)) and quantified the fluorescence signals (parameter: area sum) within this area, which was regarded as the proteins/markers adjacent to type H or type L vessels (Figure S1B). For some indexes, after absolute quantification of the signals, we performed relative quantification by taking the numerical value of one group as the reference and calculating the relative values of other groups, shown as the fold changes.

Quantification of DNA Damage Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were grown on glass coverslips up to 80% confluency. Then, cells were washed twice with PBS, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and processed for immunofluorescence staining. Frozen tissues were embedded in OCT and sectioned, then mounted on glass slides. The mounted tissues were air dried overnight fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. The cell climbing slices and frozen tissue section were double immunostained with mouse anti-human antibody phospho-Histone H2AX (γ-H2AX) and rabbit anti-human 53BP1 antibody in a humidified chamber overnight at 4 °C. Cells were washed with PBS twice and primary antibodies were visualized by DyLight 549 conjugated Goat anti-Mouse IgG and Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit IgG. DNA were stained with DAPI. Images were collected on the Olympus FluoView confocal microscopes and analyzed with FV10-ASW viewer software (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). The number of 53BP1 and γ-H2AX fusion co-positive (yellow) foci per nucleus was calculated according to the formula foci/ntotalcells. The foci means all the foci recorded in the cells counted at a given time point and the ntotal cells represents the total number of cells assessed at that time point. All counting was performed manually by a single operator to minimize variation and then statistical analyzed. All experiments were repeated at least three times.

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.
