Measuring Aβ-Induced ROS in Hippocampal Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For ROS generation measurements, hippocampal neurons were exposed to either vehicle or Aβo 1 μM for 24 h. Then, cells were washed in SEM and loaded with the ROS probe 5-(and-6)-chloromethyl-2′,7′-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (CM-H2DCFDA 2 μM) for 40 min at RT in the dark. Then coverslips containing cells were placed on a Zeiss Axiovert 100 TV inverted microscope and subjected to fluorescence imaging. Fluorescence images were captured with the FITC filter set with a Hamamatsu ER-Orca fluorescence camera.

Assessing Cell Migration in Fibroblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GFP/Fb and bcat-GFP/Fb were treated with 500 ng/ml doxycycline for 48 h and subsequently seeded in 24-well tissue culture plates in triplicate at a density of 80,000 cells/well in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS and 1% PS. Fibroblasts were incubated in a humidified incubator at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for one day to allow them to attach and reach 90% confluence. Culture medium was then switched to serum-reduced medium (DMEM supplemented with 0.5% FBS or SK-MEL-24-conditioned DMEM medium supplemented with 0.5% FBS) supplemented with 0.02 mg/ml mitomycin C (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), which inhibited cell proliferation during the procedure. After two days, mitomycin C was removed, and the fibroblast layer was scratched using a p200 pipet tip in the center of each well to form a rectangular cell-free area. Fibroblasts were allowed to migrate for 24–48 h depending on the experimental design. Bright-field images were captured using a Carl Zeiss Axiovert 100 TV inverted microscope at the indicated time points.

Mitochondrial Potential Imaging in Hippocampal Neurons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For mitochondrial membrane potential measurements, hippocampal neurons were exposed to either vehicle or Aβo 1 μM for 24 h. Then, cells were washed in SEM and loaded with the mitochondrial potential probe (TMRM, 10 nM) for 30 min at RT in the dark. Then coverslips containing cells were placed on a Zeiss Axiovert 100 TV inverted microscope and subjected to fluorescence imaging. Fluorescence images were captured with the rhodamine filter set with a Hamamatsu ER-Orca fluorescence camera as reported previously (Calvo-Rodríguez et al., 2016b (link)).

Intracellular Ca2+ Signaling in hiPSC-CMs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Single isolated beating hiPSC-CMs were subjected to 100 ms depolarizing voltage-clamp pulses (−40 to 0 mV) that activated ICa triggering intracellular Ca2+ transients. Intracellular global Ca2+ signals were measured with the fluorescent Ca2+- indicator dye Fluo-4AM (2 μM, Invitrogen), after 40 min of incubation of cells at 37 °C and 5% CO2. The fluorescence probe and dye were excited at 460 nm using a LED-based illuminator (Prismatix, Modiin Ilite, Israel) and gated aperture and Ca2+-dependent fluorescent light (>500nm) was detected with a photomultiplier tube using a Zeiss Axiovert 100 TV inverted microscope.
Focal RyR2 Ca2+ micro-domains were measured using genetically engineered virally introduced biosensors GCaMP6-FKBP targeted to FKBP-12.6 (calstabin-2) binding site of RyR2 (Kd=250 nM, λex=488 nm). The probe uses calmodulin as Ca2+ chelator and green fluorescent protein (GFP) as reporting fluorophor, which allows it to sense the Ca2+ in the micro-domains of dyadic clefts where CICR takes place. For the probe and the fluorescent Ca2+- indicator dye the parameters of the Ca2+ signals analyzed were the basal fluorescence (F0) and the peak of the Ca2+ transient (ΔF).

Mitochondrial Membrane Potential Measurement

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were loaded with TMRM (10 nM, 30 min) at room temperature and placed on a Zeiss Axiovert 100 TV inverted microscope. For comparison of ΔΨ in NCM460 and HT29 cells, cells were loaded in parallel and TMRM fluorescence images were captured using exactly the same imaging parameters. Then, cells were treated with FCCP 10 μM to collapse mitochondrial potential. After 10 min, a fluorescence image was taken to be used as background image. For monitoring effects of NSAIDs on ΔΨ, TRMR-loaded cells were subjected to fluorescence imaging at 5 s intervals. At the end of the experiment, cells were treated with FCCP 10 μM for 10 min before capturing a fluorescence image to be used as background fluorescence for cells. Fluorescence intensity from regions of interest corresponding to individual cells were average and the average value after collapse of the mitochondria potential with FCCP was substracted from each region of interest. Fluorescence values from individual cells were normalized (expressed as the percentage value of fluorescence before addition of NSAIDs) and averaged. To quantify mitochondrial depolarization, the effect of NSAIDs or FCCP on the ratio of TMRM fluorescence in mitochondria relative to that surrounding cytosol was calculated as reported previously [17 (link), 18 (link)].

Hippocampal neurons were washed in SEM and loaded with the mitochondrial potential probe tetramethylrhodamine, methyl ester (TMRM, 10 nM) for 30 min at room temperature in the dark. Then coverslips containing cells were placed on a Zeiss Axiovert 100 TV inverted microscope and subjected to fluorescence imaging. Fluorescence images were captured with the rhodamine filter set with a Hamamatsu ER-Orca fluorescence camera as reported previously [4, 14, 31] .

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.
