Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The intracellular ROS production was measured by using 2′,7′-dichloro-fluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) (Abmole, Shanghai, China). Caprine EECs were seeded in 12-well cell culture plates (Shanghai Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) and infected with N. caninum tachyzoites with a MOI of 3:1 (parasite:cell) for 48 h. The cells were washed with PBS and incubated with DCFH-DA (10 μM) in the dark for 20 min at 37 ℃. After washing the cells with serum-free DMEM/F12 medium for 5 min, the fluorescence intensity was detected under an inverted fluorescence microscopy (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany). The fluorescence intensity of green (excitation/emission wavelengths of 488/530 nm) represented the intracellular ROS levels.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Transwell assays were used for migration and invasion assays. For invasion assays, the lower chambers were precoated with 100 μL of Matrigel (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA) for 30 min before the addition of medium to the chambers. The transfected GC cells (1 × 106 cells/mL) were resuspended in RPMI 1640 medium. The upper chamber contained 100 μL of cell suspension medium, and 600 μL of complete medium was added to the bottom chamber. After incubating at 37 °C with 5% CO2 for 24 h, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and stained with 0.1% crystal violet solution. The cells that passed through the filter were photographed and counted by inverted fluorescence microscopy (Leica Microsystems GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) in five randomly selected fields.

The MMP of intracellular mitochondria was monitored by using the mitochondrial membrane potential assay kit with JC-1 (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, caprine EECs were seeded in 12-well cell culture plates (Shanghai Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China) and infected with N. caninum tachyzoites with a MOI of 3:1 (parasite:cell) for 48 h. Then, cells were washed with PBS and incubated with JC-1 (1 ×) in the dark for 30 min at 37 ℃. After washing with the JC-1 washing buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China), cells were observed under an inverted fluorescence microscopy (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) to detect fluorescence of green (excitation/emission wavelengths = 490/530 nm) and red (excitation/emission wavelengths = 525/590 nm). The relative MMP was expressed as the ratio of red/green fluorescence intensities.

To distinguish apoptotic from normal cells, Hoechst 33342 staining (Solarbio, China) was used for the qualitative analyses of PC12 cells [43 (link)]. Briefly, after treatment, cells are incubated with Hoechst 33342 for 15 min at room temperature, rinsed three times with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and then captured under an inverted fluorescence microscopy (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany).

PC12 cells were cultured in 6-well plates before CRSE treatment. After treatments, the cells were washed twice with PBS, and 1 mL of Hoechst 33342 staining solution (Cat# C1025, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was added to each well for a further incubation of 25 minutes at 37°C. The cells were then washed twice with PBS before incubation with 50 μg/mL DAPI (Cat# C1005, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) for 15 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then subjected to further visualization and analysis under an inverted fluorescence microscopy (Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) and photographed.

After the indicated transfection, the cells were fixed with 95% ethanol for 20 min and permeabilized for 10 min on ice with 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich, China). Next, the cells were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 h at room temperature. The cells were then treated with the corresponding primary antibodies at 4 °C overnight, followed by fluorochrome-conjugated secondary antibodies. DAPI (Sigma, China) was utilized for DNA staining, and the cells were then sealed after 30 min. Finally, image capture was performed using confocal laser microscopy (Leica, Germany) or inverted fluorescence microscopy (Leica, Germany). All antibodies used in this study are as follows. Primary antibodies: E-Cadherin (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 14472, 1:200), Vimentin (Cell Signaling Technology, Cat# 13116, 1:200), FBXO32 (abcam, Cat# ab168372, 1:200).

Fluorescent Oligonucleotide Tracking in Glioma Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Because it is hard to label high-molecular-weight poly(I:C) with fluorescence, a fluorescein amidite (FAM)-bonded oligonucleotide was used as a surrogate. The FAM-bonded oligonucleotide (3ʹ-AAATTT-5ʹ-FAM) was designed and combined with Au@PP at a weight ratio of 0.05 (Au:FAM-oligonucleotide). GL261 mouse glioma cells were seeded in six-well plates at a density of 1.5×105 cells/well and then incubated with 20 μg/mL Au@PP/FAM or FAM-bonded oligonucleotide for 24 h. Next, the medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Fluorescence images were obtained by inverted fluorescence microscopy (Leica, Wetzlar, 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.
