Evaluation of Retinal Müller Cell Edema

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intracellular edema of retinal Müller cell in vivo was evaluated according to the published method.21 Briefly, the rats were killed, the eyes were enucleated and fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 30 min. The eyes were dissected under a dissecting microscope and the anterior parts of the eye were removed. The posterior part was fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 5 more hours, which were then dehydrated in a graded alcohol series (50, 70, 95, and 100%) and embedded in epoxy resin for sectioning. During the sample preparation of semithin section, the retinas were cut into several small pieces about 2.25 mm2. Semithin sections (1 μm) were cut using an ultramicrotome (EM UC7, Leica, Germany) and stained with toluidine blue. The morphology of swollen Müller cell was examined under a light microscope (Tecnai G2 20 TWIN, FEI, USA). For quantitation, the Müller intracellular edema was calculated as the number of ribbon-like gaps per 200 μm of the retina.

Ultrastructural Analysis of Cotton Fiber Development

Electron microscopic analyses were conducted essentially as previously described (Pugh et al. 2010). Wild‐type cotton ovules harvested at 1 DPA were cultured for 7 d with either 1 μM GA3, 5 μM C26:0 or 2.2 ppm ethylene added to the media. Cotton fibers from various treatments were fixed for 12 h in 2.5% glutaraldehyde. After three washes with distilled and deionized water, the fibers were incubated in 1.5% osmium tetraoxide for 4 h at room temperature. Samples were dehydrated in a series of ethanol (50%–100%) at 30 min intervals and epoxy ethane and then embedded in Epon resin for 48 h at 60 °C. Fibers at the base of the ovule were cut into 50 nm thin sections, stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate, then photographed under a transmission electron microscope (Tecnai G2 20 TWIN, FEI).

GFP+ primary mouse hepatocytes treated with DMSO (Veh), GW7647 (5μM), or GW4064 (10μM) for 24h to transmission electron microscopic. For transmission electron microscopic (TEM) observations, the samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and 2.5% glutaraldehyde in 0.1M phosphate buffer for overnight. After washing in 0.1M phosphate buffer, the samples were postfixed with 1% osmium tetroxide in same buffer for 1h. Then the samples were dehydrated with a series of the graded ethyl alcohol. The samples were embedded in Epon 812 and then polymerization was performed at 60°Cfor 3 days. Ultrathin sections (60∼70nm) were obtained by ultramicrotome (Leica UC7, Germany). Images were acquired with transmission electron microscope (FEI, TECNAI G2 20 TWIN, USA) after double staining with uranium acetate and lead citrate.

NP cells were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde overnight, post-fixed in 2% osmium tetroxide for 1 h and stained with 2% uranyl acetate for 1 h. After dehydration in an ascending series of acetone, the samples were embedded into Araldite. Samples were cut into ultrathin sections, and then stained with toluidine blue. Finally, sections were observed using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) (Tecnai G2 20 TWIN, FEI, United States). Randomized fields were captured and the autophagosomes in the field were counted.

An X-ray diffractometer (XRD)
was used to identify the phase of the prepared MnO2 powder
using the D8 Advance Bruker instrument using monochromatic Cu Kα
radiation (λ = 1.5406 Å). X-ray Rietveld refinement was
carried out with the FullProf program using the pseudo-Voigt profile
function. Raman studies were performed with a LabRAM HR, 532 nm laser
excitation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was carried
out for the samples, using an ESCALAB 250 (ThermoElectron, Al Kα)
spectrometer. The electron microscopy analysis was carried out using
a field emission scanning electron microscope (Hitachi S-4800) and
a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (TECNAI G2 20 Twin,
FEI). The details about electrochemical analysis and first-principles
calculations are as per Note S2.

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.
