GV3101 carrying pCAMBIA-1302-TaRac6-GFP^C, pCAMBIA-1302-GFP, pBinGFP2-GFP^N-TaRac6 or 35S-mCherry plasmids were cultured in LB (50 μg/mL kanamycin and 50 μg/mL rifampicin) for 1–2 days. The cells were collected and suspended as described by Zhao et al. (2018) (link). GFP, GFP^N-TaRac6, TaRac6-GFP^C of A. tumefaciens were co-injected into leaves of tobacco plants 4–6 weeks old with mCherry, respectively. Two days later plant tissue samples were harvested. The GFP images were taken under a LSM510 Confocal Microscope (Zeiss, Germany) with 488 nm laser lines. The mCherry images were taken under a LSM510 Confocal Microscope (Zeiss, Germany) with 584 nm laser lines.
The expression of TaRac6-GFP^C and GFP^N-TaRac6 were further confirmed by western blot. The total proteins of injected tobacco leaves were extracted using the Native lysis buffer (Solarbio, Beijing, China). Specifically, 10 μL PMSF (100 mM) and 10 μL protease inhibitor cocktail (EDTA-Free, 100 × in DMSO) were added per ml of lysate. The extraction of total protein and the western blot procedure used are described in Zhao et al. (2018) (link).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

For erythrocytes, 4 million cells were added to 200 µL per well of an 8-well LabTek chamber (Nunc). Calcein was added at 20 µg/mL and BODIPY-MUS:OT 2:1 amph-AuNPs were added at 0.28 mg/mL. Treatment medium was prepared before the addition of cells and samples were rocked back and forth gently without mixing or agitation with a pipette. Samples were imaged with a LSM 510 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss). Z-stacks were collected using an optical slice thickness of 1 µm, and images were analyzed with Zeiss LSM software.
For GMVs, confocal samples were prepared in 8-well LabTek chambers (Nunc) and, prior to adding GMVs, we first prepared solutions of 50 mM glucose in water with BODIPY-MUS:OT 2:1 amph-AuNPs at 0.07 mg/mL. GMV harvests in sucrose were mixed 1–2x with a pipette and added at a 1:4 ratio in a sample well. Notably, samples were only rocked back and forth after preparation and there was no additional mixing of GMVs with AuNPs in the well. Samples were incubated 1–3 hr at 22°C, unless otherwise noted. Samples were then imaged with a LSM 510 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss). Z-stacks were collected using an optical slice thickness of 1 µm, and images were analyzed with Zeiss LSM software.

Immunocytochemistry assays were performed in 8-well slide chambers. Briefly, cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 20 minutes, permeabilized with Triton X-100 0.1% in PBS, and non-specific epitopes were blocked in 10% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in 1 × PBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Immunostaining was accomplished by incubating primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Samples were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature with Alexa Fluor 555 conjugated secondary antibodies diluted at 1 in 250 (MeridianLife Science Inc., Memphis, TN), and nuclei were stained with Hoechst (2 μM Hoechst33258). Pictures were taken with a Zeiss LSM 510 confocal microscope and a Zeiss Axioplan-2 deconvolution microscope.
To assess cell death, primary human RPE cells and ARPE-19 cells were fixed with methanol for 15 minutes, washed with 1 × PBS, then loaded with 2 μM Hoechst dissolved in a Locke’s solution (Promega) and incubated for another 15 minutes before imaging. Cells were then viewed by using a Zeiss LSM 510 confocal microscope under UV fluorescence. Images were recorded, and cell apoptosis was assessed by using an automated unbiased method^{70 (link)}.

Protoplasts were isolated from petals of wild-type (M1xV30), rab5a X2043 , or ph4 mutants and transiently transformed with plasmids of interest, respectively. 24 hours after transformation, transformed cells were treated with 16.5 mM (final concentration) wortmannin (LC Laboratoriesâ) for 30 mins in the dark. After the treatment, protoplasts were centrifuged, resuspended and kept in fresh buffer for a variable period before imaging with a Zeiss LSM510 confocal microscope using a 40x/1.2 water objective.
Yeast two hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay Yeast two-hybrid assays were performed as reported before (Quattrocchio et al., 2006) . In BiFC assays, plasmids encoding N-terminal fusions of protein of interest to nYFP and cYFP and, to mark the plasma membrane of transformed cells, RFP-SYP122 were transformed into protoplasts isolated from petunia M1xV30 (wild-type) petals. Transfected cells were imaged with a Zeiss LSM510 confocal microscope with a 40x/1.2 water objective at 24 hours after transformation. Over hundred transfected cells expressing RFP-SYP122 were observed for each independent experiment, and around 20 cells were imaged by confocal microscopy.

A mixed colony was picked into a well of a 96-well plate and grown overnight in 100 μl of 2XYT media. 1 μl was taken out and diluted into 1 ml of 2xYT media. 1 μl was again taken out of this dilution and and diluted into 1 ml of 2xYT media. 300 μl of it was dispensed on a agarose plate. The next day, a tip was dipped in a colony, then swirled in 1 ml of 2xYT media. 10 μl -20 μl of this media was placed in the center of a small agarose plate. Small plates were made of a 4.5% agarose main bottom layer topped with a superficial layer of 3% agarose. The plates were placed on a heated microscope stage at 33-35C and cover-slipped leaving an air interface. Images were taken with 20X/0.5 Plan-Neofluar Zeiss lens on a LSM 510 Zeiss Confocal Microscope at 4 × optical zoom. The developing colony was manually refocused every 20 min by moving the stage up in the Z position by about 20 μm.

COS7 cells and the human prostate cancer cell lines C4-2B/Rx2^dox, 22Rv1/Rx2^dox and LNCaP/Rx2^dox were previously described (8 (link), 17 (link)) and have been passaged for less than 6 months. PCa cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FBS and COS7 cells were maintained in DMEM with 5% FBS. Hygromycin (50μg/ml) and puromycin (1μg/ml) were used to select cells that had incorporated the Rx2^dox and the shSNAI2 lentiviral vectors, respectively. Two days before initiation of hormone treatment, 10% FBS was replaced with 5% CSS, and all experiments were performed in the absence of any selection marker. AR and RUNX2 immunofluorescence was performed using the N20 and M70 primary antibodies and fluorescein- and rhodamine-conjugated secondary antibodies respectively. Cells were mounted using Vectashield mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA) and viewed using an LSM 510 Zeiss confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Thornwood, NY). Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) was carried out as previously described (8 (link)).

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.
