NIH cells (Fig. 2) were seeded onto cover slips placed in 24-well plates. After 24 h, the medium was changed to new medium containing 360 μM oleic acid. After 20 h, the cells were fixed with 2% formaldehyde for 10 min and stored at 4°C in PBS. For immunolabeling, the cells were treated with Avidin/Biotin Blocking kit (Vector Laboratories), and 1% BSA in PBS for 20 min. The cells were then incubated 2h at room temperature with mouse anti-vinculin (1:100, clone SPM227, Abcam), followed by 30 min biotinylated monovalent donkey anti-mouse IgG (1:200, Jackson ImmunoResearch) and 30 min with Atto425-conjugated streptavidin (1:200, ATTO-TEC). The cells were then incubated for 2h at room temperature with guinea pig anti-ADRP (1:400, Fitzgerald), rabbit anti-mouse syntaxin 5 (1:150, Synaptic System) and rat anti-mouse LAMP1 (1:100, clone 1D4B, Abcam) followed by 30 min incubation with goat anti-guinea pig AF488 (1:400, Life Technologies), goat anti-rabbit Cy3 (1:250, Jackson ImmunoResearch), mouse anti-rat PerCP-eFluor710 (1:100, Affymetrix) and phalloidin-Atto594 (5 μL/mL, Sigma-Aldrich); in the last 5 min, 3 drops of DAPI (2 μg/mL) was added to each well. All incubation steps contained 0.1% saponin and all washing steps contained 0.05% saponin for permeabilization. The cover slips were mounted onto microscope slides with Prolong Gold antifade reagent (Life Technologies).

Plated cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA; Fisher Scientific) for 20 minutes at room temperature and rinsed with PBS. Nonspecific labeling was blocked and the cells permeabilized with 5% normal goat serum (Millipore) and/or 5% normal donkey serum (Millipore) and 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma) in PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were rinsed with PBS and then incubated with primary antibodies for one hour at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. Cells were subsequently labeled with the appropriate fluorescently-tagged secondary antibodies. Hoechst nuclear dye was used to label nuclei. Primary antibodies used were rabbit anti-Peripherin (Millipore, AB1530), mouse anti-βIII Tubulin (Tuj1, Promega, G7121), rabbit anti-NTRK1 (Millipore, 06-574), rabbit anti-TRPV1 (Novus Biologicals, NBP1-97417), mouse anti-GFAP (Cell Signaling, 3670), rabbit anti-Parvalbumin (Calbiochem, PC255L), mouse anti SMI32R (Covance, SMI-32R), guinea pig anti-VGlut1 (Millipore, AB5905), and myelin protein zero (ProteinTech, 10572-1-AP). Secondary antibodies included donkey anti-mouse AF488 (Invitrogen, A21202), goat anti-rabbit RhoRed (Invitrogen, R6394), and goat anti-guinea pig AF488 (Life Technologies, A11073).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Astrocytes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA; Sigma) and blocked with goat serum (Sigma) before incubating in primary antibody overnight at 4°C. Microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2; 1:2000, Synaptic Systems 188 004) was used to identify dendritesand glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP; 1:1000, Cell Signaling Ab 3670) was used to identify astrocytes. Previously in this model system all GFAP+ cells have been seen to be astrocytes. Cells were visualised using AF488 goat anti-guinea pig (Invitrogen A-11073) or AF546 donkey anti-mouse (Invitrogen A-10036) as well as DAPI (Vectorshield) to determine nuclei.

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.
