Cells were grown on glass coverslips overnight and were either treated with DMSO or MG132 for 4 hours. The samples were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde (in PBS, pH 7.2) for 20 minutes. Samples were then washed 3x with PBS and blocked with 2% BSA with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 1 hour. Anti-c-MYC primary antibody (1∶200, Millipore #06-340) was incubated with 1% BSA and 0.05% Triton X-100 in PBS overnight in a humidified chamber. The samples were washed 3x with PBS. Alexa Fluor 568 donkey anti-rabbit (1∶400, Life Technologies) was diluted in 1% donkey serum with 0.05% triton X-100 in PBS and incubated with the samples for 1 hour.

Proximity ligation assay (PLA) by indirect detection was done using Duolink reagents and instructions (Sigma-Aldrich) on rat brain cryosections (16 μm) (see ‘Tissue preparation’ section). After incubation in Duolink blocking solution, the tissue sections were incubated with anti-TRPV4 (LS-Bio #LS-C94498, 1:400) and anti-NKCC1 (Dundee University #S022D, 2 µg/ml) overnight at 4 °C. The secondary antibodies were conjugated to a MINUS and a PLUS PLA probe, and were detectable as fluorescent speckles only upon close contact [47 (link)]. A technical control omitting both of the primary antibodies was included. Ligation and amplification of the samples were done according to the Duolink protocol, the sections were mounted with coverslips using the Duolink In Situ Mounting Medium with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich). Micrographs were acquired with a Zeiss LSM700 point laser (Argon Lasos RMC781272) scanning confocal microscope with a Zeiss Plan-Apochromat 20×/numerical aperture (NA) 1.6 oil objective (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen). All micrographs were sampled in a frame scan mode.

For visualization of protein–protein interaction in situ, Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA) was performed according to manufacturer's instructions (Duolink using PLA Technology, Sigma). Briefly, 48 h after transient HA-TET1 and/or myc-GADD45a and myc-NFYC (control protein) transfection, HEK293T cells were fixed in 100% MeOH (Sigma) for 10 min at −20 °C, permeabilized with 0.5% TritonX100 (Sigma) for 10 min, blocked and incubated with primary antibodies anti-HA (Abcam) and anti-myc (Sigma) (both diluted 1:1000) overnight at 4 °C. Then, cells were incubated with respective secondary antibodies (Duolink In Situ PLA Probes Anti-Mouse and Anti-Rabbit both PLUS and MINUS, SIGMA) followed by a ligation and subsequent amplification step to visualize protein interaction by red fluorescence signals (Duolink In Situ Detection Reagents Red, Sigma). To visualize individual proteins by Self-PLA, the respective primary antibody was combined with two secondary antibodies (PLA probes both PLUS and MINUS). Nuclei were counterstained by DAPI-containing mounting medium (Duolink In Situ Mounting Medium with DAPI, Sigma) and analysis was performed using a TCS SP5 confocal microscope (Leica) and 63× oil immersion objective lens. The speckles are likely limited to a fraction of cells due to incomplete transfection efficiency.

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.
