Dissociated AMY neurons were prepared from Ilf3+/+ and Ilf3ΔPrLD/ΔPrLD littermates at embryonic day 16-18 (E16-18). Neurons were plated at a density of 5.2 × 103 cells/cm2 onto poly-D-lysine-coated coverslips (Matsunami, Osaka, Japan) in Neurobasal-A medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific) containing B-27 supplement (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 0.5 mM glutamine, and 25% Neuron culture medium (FUJIFILM Wako Pure Chemical). Cultured neurons were incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator. They were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde in PBS for 10 min at 3, 5, and 7 days in vitro (DIV).
Immunostaining was performed as described above. The primary antibodies used were anti-MAP2 rabbit polyclonal antibody (ab32454, Abcam) and anti-Tau-1 mouse monoclonal antibody (MAB3420, Sigma-Aldrich). Secondary antibodies were Alexa488-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Cy3-conjugated anti-mouse IgG antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA). Fluorescence images were acquired using the A1 confocal laser scanning microscope with a 20× or 40× objective. Serial images acquired at 0.5 μm steps were z-stacked. Concentric circles were drawn at 30 μm intervals around the nucleus for Sholl analysis, where the number of intersections was counted. One of the neurites with the strongest tau staining was determined to be the axon.

For primary hippocampal neurons and NIH/3T3 cells, cells were rinsed with PBS and fixed with 4% PFA for 10 minutes. Cell were permeabilized with PBST (PBS with 0.2% Triton X-100) for 10 minutes and blocked with 1% BSA in PBST for 30 minutes. Primary antibodies were incubated at 4℃ for overnight. Antibodies against Tau1 (Millipore, MAB3420, monoclonal), FLAG (Sigma, F7425, polyclonal), and MTCO1 (Abcam, ab203912, monoclonal) were used for immunostaining.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To explore the neurite outgrowth, the immunostaining was performed as follows. Cultured neurons were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich) for 20 min at 4 °C and wash three times with PBS for 5 min each. To permeate the cell membrane, 1% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) was used for 5 min at room temperature, followed by PBS washing. For blocking nonspecific binding, the sample was treated with 6% bovine serum albumin (BSA; Sigma-Aldrich) for 30 min. After washing with PBS, it was reacted with primary antibodies diluted in 1.5% BSA solution for 2 h at 37 °C. The following primary antibodies were used: anti-MAP2 (1:500, M3696, Sigma-Aldrich), anti-tau-1 (1:500, MAB3420, Merck Millipore, MA, USA), anti-beta-III-tubulin (1:500, T2200, Sigma-Aldrich). Secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488 and 594, 1:500, A11001, A11008, A11012 and A11032, Invitrogen; Thermo Fisher Scientific) diluted in 1.5% BSA were loaded for 30 min at 37 °C. To characterize damage of a biomolecule on the NIR-illuminated surface, anti-laminin (1:500, L9393, Sigma-Aldrich) was used with the same procedure except that there is no cell fixation and permeabilization step. An inverted microscope (IX71; Olympus) with a digital camera (DP71; Olympus) was used to take fluorescence and phase-contrast images.

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.
