Gavage-Based Gut Lumen Trafficking

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
5-dpf larvae were gavaged as previously described (Cocchiaro and Rawls, 2013 (link)). Larvae were gavaged with 4 nl of a mixture containing 10 µM LysoTracker Red (ThermoFisher Scientific), 500 µM FM4-64 (ThermoFisher Scientific), or 1.25 mg/ml Transferrin-AlexaFluor-568 (ThermoFisher Scientific) in PBS plus 0.05% phenol red. For gavage pulse-chase analysis, larvae were gavaged with one of the solutions above, transferred back to egg water to recover for 90 min, and then gavaged with excess PBS (1–2 pulses of 5–10 nl each), which displaces contents of the intestinal lumen through the cloaca. Flushing of the intestinal lumen was visually assessed by confirming thorough displacement of phenol red from the gut. The chase period proceeded for 90 min, and then larvae were processed for sectioning and confocal imaging. In other experiments, larvae were gavaged with inhibitors, ionophores, or control vehicles dissolved in egg water (pH 7.5) plus 0.05% phenol red. Concentrations and durations used are indicated in the figure legends.

Approximately 1 × 105 GFP-EHD1- or mock-GFP-expressing trophozoites in 1 mL BI-S-33 were placed on a 35-mm collagen-coated glass-bottom culture dish (MatTek Corporation, Ashland, MA) for 15 min to allow cell attachment. The medium was removed and replaced with 1 mL of BI-S-33 supplemented with either 2 mg/mL RITC-dextran (molecular weight [MW] = 70 000; Sigma-Aldrich, USA) or 100 μg/mL Alexa Fluor 568-transferrin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). Chase was performed for up to 30 min for live imaging. For IFA, fixation was conducted with HA-EHD1 and mock-HA strains after 0, 30, 60, and 120 min of addition of either RITC-dextran or Alexa Fluor 568-transferrin. Live images were captured using an LSM780 confocal laser scanning microscope (Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Germany), as the cells were being incubated at 35°C using a temperature-controlled stage plate (Carl Zeiss Microscopy, Germany).

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.
