10,000 Au8-pXs labeled and unlabeled BMSCs from FRDA patients were stained for mitochondria into 4-well chamber slides with MitoTracker TM Red CMXRos (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Cells were treated with 50nM MitoTracker TM Red CMXRos in cell culture medium without serum for 30 minutes at 37C, and then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 10 minutes. Leica SP8 confocal microscope was used to acquire images. Au8-pXs fluorescence was detected setting the emission range between 500 and 540 nm under 405 nm excitation. Each cell group was evaluated in five independent experiments. Colocalization of mitochondria and gold clusters superstructures was evaluated by EZColocalization plugin of Image J, identifying single cells through hand drawn ROIs. The result was represented as heatmap image between 0 and 250.

HCT116 and RPE1 cells and their aneuploid derivatives were seeded to a 96-well plate (HCT116: 104 cells per well, RPE1: 103 cells per well) and incubated at 37 °C and 5% CO2 on the day before experiments. For cell fixation, a 3% formaldehyde solution was used for 15 min at room temperature. Next, cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton for 20 min at room temperature. Then, cells were preblocked with 3% bovine serum for 30 min at room temperature. Primary antibodies were diluted in blocking solution (Supplementary table 2) and incubated overnight at 4 °C. The next day, cells were washed and secondary antibodies were added in a concentration of 1 mg per ml followed by incubation for 1 h in the dark at room temperature. SYTOX® green (Invitrogen) or DAPI (Invitrogen) were used to localize the nucleus. For cytoplasmic staining, the HCS Cell Mask (H327 12 Component, 701618, Invitrogen) was applied. The cells were covered with SlowFade Gold Antifade (Invitrogen). To localize mitochondria, MitoTrackerTM Red CMXRos (M7512, Invitrogen) was used (100 nM for 45-h incubation at 37 °C). For lysosome localization, we also used LysoTrackerTM Red DND-99 (L7528, Thermofisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Information regarding the used antibodies can be found in Supplementary table 2.

Cells were grown at low density on coverslips. For visualization of mitochondrial morphology, cells were incubated with 200 nM MitoTracker TM Red CMXRos (Invitrogen, Eugene, OR) for 20 min. Cells were fixed in cold 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized and blocked with 0.3% Triton X-100 and 5% goat serum in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Cells were incubated with the following primary antibodies diluted in 5% goat serum in PBS at 4 °C overnight: rabbit anti-TOM20 (1:300, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), chicken anti-MAP2 (1:1000, Invitrogen, Eugene, OR, USA), rabbit anti-Willin/FRMD6 (1:100, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA). Corresponding fluorescent secondary antibodies (Alexa FluorTM 488, 568, 594, 647, 1:1000, Invitrogen, Eugene, OR, USA), were diluted in blocking buffer and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Coverslips were mounted in ProLongTM Diamond Antifade Mountant (Invitrogen, Eugene, OR, USA) and imaged with a Leica TCS SP8 confocal microscope using a 63× oil immersion objective or a Leica DM5500B epifluorescence microscope (Mannheim, Germany) using a 40× oil immersion objective.

Visualizing Mitochondrial Dynamics in Oocytes

To observe the mitochondrial distribution in oocytes before and after vitrification, live oocytes were washed two times with M2 media and stained with MitoTrackerTM Red CMXRos (200 nmol/L, M7512, Invitrogen) at 37 °C in 5% CO2 for 15 min. They were then treated with NucBlueTM Live Cell Stain ReadyProbesTM reagent (R37605, Invitrogen) for 15 min in an incubator. Oocytes were washed two times with M2 media and transferred to a glass-bottom confocal dish (P35G-1.0-14-C, MatTek, Ashland, MA, USA). Live images of mitochondria in oocytes (red color) were obtained directly using a confocal microscope (Zeiss LSM880), and analyzed using ZEN software (ZEN 2012, Blue edition, Carl Zeiss) after red was converted to pseudo-color (green) for better visualization. For quantification of the mitochondrial distribution, fluorescence intensity profiles were measured using the ImageJ software (v1.48, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland, USA).

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.
