Ciliogenesis Induction in Mouse Cell Lines

NIH-3T3, mIMCD3 and MEFs were cultured in DMEM (Gibco) supplemented with 10% FBS. For all transient transfections, cells were transfected with the respective DNA constructs by plating them directly in a transfection solution containing DNA plasmid and Xtremegene 9 (Roche). Cells were plated on poly(D-lysine)-coated borosilicate glass Lab-Tek 8-well chambers (Thermo Scientific). Ciliogenesis was induced by serum starvation for 24 h. Live cell imaging was mostly performed using an IX-71 (Olympus) microscope with a 40× oil objective (Olympus) (with additional 1.6× optical zoom) and a CoolSNAP HQ CCD camera (Photometrics). Micrographs were taken using Metamorph 7.5 imaging software (Molecular Devices).

Live-cell Imaging of Organelles

Live-cell imaging of ER, Golgi, and the plasma membrane was conducted using the Axiovert135TV epifluorescence microscope (Zeiss) with 63× oil objective (Zeiss) and Olympus epifluorescence microscope with 40× oil objective and an additional 1.6× magnification. Twenty-four hours after transfection, cells were imaged by the CCD camera (QImaging) driven by Metamorph 7.5 imaging software (Molecular Devices) at 15 second time interval for at least 15 minutes. Mitochondria were imaged on the Leica SP5 inverted confocal microscope, with resonant scanner, HCX PL APO cS 40× objective lens, NA = 1.25 at 15 second time interval for at least 15 minutes. Mitochondria were also imaged on the spinning-disc Axiovert 200 confocal microscope (Zeiss). YFP and mCherry excitations were conducted with an argon laser (CVI-Melles Griot) with 40× objective (Zeiss) and an additional 1.6× magnification and NA = 1.30. 100 nM of rapamycin (Tecoland) was added after approximately 2 min and 30 seconds of imaging.

Quantitative Imaging of Membrane Contacts

Most imaging was conducted on a IX71 microscope (Olympus) with a 63x objective (and 1.6x zoom) and an ORCA-Flash4.0 LT Digital CMOS camera (Hamamatsu). Rate constant of FKBP recruitment by sFRB1 was imaged at 10 s intervals with a spinning disc confocal, inverted Axiovert 200 (Zeiss) with a 40x objective and an Orca ER CCD camera (Hamamatsu). Both microscopes were driven by Metamorph 7.5 imaging software (Molecular Devices). Four-color imaging in Fig. 4 was conducted with an Eclipse Ti microscope (Nikon) with a 60x objective (and 1.5x zoom) and a Zyla 4.2 sCMOS camera (Andor), driven by NIS Elements software (Nikon). Unless otherwise indicated imaging was done at 1-3 min intervals for 12-30 mins, at times with between 3-5 0.5 um-spaced z positions. Images analyzed and shown are from a single plane, and not maximum intensity projections. Microscopy experiments applying CIT to membrane contact sites were conducted at 37°C, 5% CO2 and humidity with a stage top incubation system (Tokai Hit).

Live-cell Microscopy Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Live-cell imaging experiments were mostly performed using an IX-71 (Olympus) microscope with a 63x oil objective (Olympus) (with additional 1.6x optical zoom) and a Cool-SNAP HQ charge-coupled device camera (Photometrics) or an ORCA-Flash4.0 LT Digital CMOS camera (Hamamatsu). Time-lapse imaging experiments were performed with either 2-min or 5-min intervals, and between 3 and 11 0.5-µm z-stacks were taken at each time point. Images shown were mostly maximum intensity projection. Micrographs were taken and analyzed using MetaMorph 7.5 imaging software (Molecular Devices).

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.
