Expanded islet clusters were harvested using cell recovery solution (Corning, 354253) and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature, followed with blocking and permeabilizing in PBS with 0.5% Triton X-100 (Solarbio, T8200) and 5% donkey serum (Solarbio, SL050) for 30 min at room temperature. Then, samples were incubated with primary antibody at 4 °C overnight, followed by incubation with secondary antibody for 2 h at room temperature. DAPI (Beyotime, C1002) was used to stain the nucleus and find islets. The following antibodies were used for immunofluorescence: anti-insulin (1:200, sc-9168; Santa), anti-somatostatin (1:600, ab30788; Abcam), anti-glucagon (1:200, G2654; Sigma). anti-PDX1 (1:200, ab47267; abcam), anti-SOX9 (1:200, ab185966; abcam), anti-NKX6.1 (1:200, ab221549; abcam), anti-MAFA (1:200, ab26405; abcam), anti-KI67 (1:200, D3B5; Cell Signaling Technology). Imaging of the expanded islet clusters was performed on Zeiss LSM 780 and processed using ImageJ or Adobe illustrator software.

Immunohistochemical Characterization of Pancreatic Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Serial sections from archival pancreatic tissue were subjected to MAFA immunohistochemistry as well as insulin and glucagon staining. The result was evaluated and compared to that of normal human pancreas by an experienced pathologist. To achieve comparability, MAFA immunohistochemistry was performed using the same MAFA antibody (Anti-MafA antibody ab26405, Abcam, Cambridge, UK, RRID: AB_776146; dilution: 1:2000) as Iacovazzo et al. [12 (link)] following the manufacturer’s instructions. After deparaffinization, hydration, and heat-induced epitope retrieval, incubation steps were carried out in an Autostainer 480-A (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Dublin, Ireland) using the Dako EnVision™ FLEX HRP/Dab (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) detection system with signal amplification by EnVision™ FLEX + Rabbit (LINKER) (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA).
Standard staining/immunohistochemisty protocols of the Institute of Pathology (University Medical Center Mainz) were used to detect the neuroendocrine/proliferation markers chromogranin, synaptophysin, insulin, glucagon, and KI-67 in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded pancreatic tissue sections from patients IV3 and IV4 following resection.

INS-1 832/13 cells were washed twice in PBS and fixed with 3% PFA in PBS for 30 min at 37 °C followed by washing 3 × 10 min with PBS before permeabilization for 30 min with BD Phosphflow Perm buffer III (BD Biosciences). Samples were blocked using 5% normal donkey serum in PBS for 30 min at room temperature. Cells were incubated overnight at 4 °C with antibodies against Cav1.2 (1:200, code C1603, Sigma-Aldrich), Cav1.3 (1:100, code ACC 005, Alomone Labs), MafA (1:100, code ab26405, Abcam), MafB (1:100, code IHC00351, Bethyl Labs), Pax6 (1:100, code MAB2237, Millipore) or Nkx6.1 (1:100, code AF5857, R&D Systems) diluted in the blocking solution. All antibodies were from rabbit except Nkx6.1, which was generated in mouse. Immunoreactivity against the rabbit antibodies was detected by a Delight 488-conjugated antibody (1:400, code 715-545-150, Jackson ImmunoResearch). A Cy5-conjugated antibody (1:400, code 715-175-150, Jackson ImmunoResearch) was used to detect the Nk × 6.1 antibody. Cell nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst 34580 (1:500, Life Technologies). Immunofluorescence images were acquired by confocal microscopy and Zen software (Carl Zeiss).

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.
