Host 3T3 cells were seeded onto 96-well black, clear bottom microplate (Corning Inc., USA) at 5 × 103 cells/well in 100 μL of DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS for 4 h to allow cell attachment. Tissue-derived trypomastigotes were added at multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 20, and incubated at 37°C for 24 h. Uninfected trypomastigotes were removed by washing with PBS, followed by addition of 100 μL of DMEM (10% FBS) containing benznidazole or nifurtimox dissolved in DMSO. The final concentration of DMSO was 0.5%. After 48 h incubation at 37°C, the media was removed from wells and cells were fixed by addition of 100 μL of 4% formaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature. After fixation, the nuclei were stained by adding 100 μL of 1.0 μg/mL Hoechst 33342 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and 0.05% Triton X-100 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Japan) for 15 min, followed by washing wells with PBS 4 times. The plates were imaged by a fluorescence microscopy. Host cells containing more than three amastigotes were considered as infected. EC50 was calculated by fitting the dose response curves with non-linear regression analysis, using “(inhibitor) vs. normalized response" model of GraphPad Prism7 software.

Immunohistochemical staining was performed as previously described with minor modification on the paraffin-embedded lung tissues.7,45 (link) PARK2 immunostaining were assessed by counting total and positively staining cells in small airways at a magnification of ×400 and percentage of positive staining was scored in a semi-quantitative fashion; 0 (less than 10%), 1 (11 to 49%), and 2 (more than 50%). Immunofluorescence staining was also performed as previously described.7,45 (link) BEAS-2B cells expressing EGFP-LC3B grown on 8-well culture slides were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min followed by permeabilization with 0.03% Triton X-100 (Wako, 160-24751) for 60 min. After blocking with 0.1% BSA (Sigma-Aldrich, A2153) for 60 min, the primary and secondary antibodies were applied according to the manufacturer's instructions. Confocal laser scanning microscopy analysis of mitochondria was performed by TOMM20 staining, assessed with a confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss LSM510, Tokyo, Japan). Fluorescence microscopy analysis of phospho-histone H2AFX, and TOMM20 staining were performed in HBEC (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). MitoTracker Red CMXRos (MTR; Molecular Probes-Life Technologies, M-7512) staining (200 nM, 30 min at 37°C) was also performed to evaluate the integrity of the mitochondrial membrane potential.

Quantification of cellular DNA content at 72 h after transfection with control miRNA or #12 (5 nM) was determined by using a cytometer. Briefly, the cells were harvested and fixed with 70% cold ethanol at −20°C overnight. The fixed cells were then washed twice with PBS and resuspended in 100 μL PBS-based propidium iodide solution containing 0.1% Triton X-100 (Wako, Osaka, Japan), 0.2 mg/mL RNase A (Life Technologies), and 20 μg/mL propidium iodide (Life Technologies). Thereafter, they were incubated for 30 min at room temperature protected from the light. The DNA content in the cells was analyzed with a cytometer (The Tail Image-Based Cytometer, Life Technologies).

Decellularization of Porcine Liver

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Decellularization was performed as described previously [14] (link). Briefly, a healthy porcine liver was harvested from adult pig (20–25 kg) (Fukuokashokunikuhanbai Co., Ltd., Fukuoka, Japan) and depleted of blood with calcium and magnesium-free phosphate-buffered saline (CMF-PBS). The liver was cut into 1 cm × 1 cm × 2 mm pieces using a mandoline-style slicer. The sliced tissue was soaked in a solution containing 1% Triton X-100 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., Osaka, Japan) in CMF-PBS at 4 °C for 3 days to remove the cellular components. Fresh solution was added each day, for 3 days, under constant stirring to maintain the efficiency of decellularization. The resulting decellularized liver was immersed in CMF-PBS at 4 °C for 4 days, and then dialyzed using the Spectra/Por 6 dialysis membrane (MWCO: 1000 kD, Spectrum Laboratories, Inc., Milpitas, CA, USA) at 4 °C for 2 days.

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.
