Quantifying Celf6 Expression in Mouse Brain

Sections were qualitatively analyzed by using both bright- and darkfield microscopes (Leica DMR; Perkin Elmer UltraView Vox spinning-disk confocal on a Zeiss Axiovert). The relative density and intensity of Celf6 expression in WT, Celf6-YFP and Celf6−/− tissues were determined using Leica DMR microscrope. Brightfield images were captured on a Leica DFC310FX camera mounted to a Leica DM400B microscope using Surveyor software version V7.0.0.6 MT (Objective Imaging, Cambridge, UK) and darkfield images captured on a Perkin Elmer UltraView Vox spinning-disk confocal on a Zeiss Axiovert microscope. Digital raw images were optimized for evenness of illumination and background by using ImageJ (Wayne Rasband, NIH, USA). Anatomical structures were identified according to an adult mouse brain atlas (Franklin and Paxinos). Overall expression was scored by a rubric using both density of cells labeled (+, scattered; ++, light; +++, moderate, or ++++, high) and intensity of signal (+, weak; ++, moderate; or +++, strong). The overall expression score for each region was calculated by multiplying density level by signal intensity. Thus, the expression scores indicate the following: 1 – 2, light expression; 3 – 6, moderate expression; 8 – 9, high expression; and 12, very high expression.

MCF-7 cells were seeded
at a density of
1.0 × 106 cells into a 25 cm2 flask, followed
by 24 h of incubation in a humidified atmosphere (5% CO2/95% air) at 37 °C. Freshly prepared stock solutions of GW7604-Pent-PtCl3 and Cisplatin in
DMF were used and diluted with the medium to reach a final complex
concentration corresponding to their IC50 values of 20
μM and 15 μM, respectively. Cells were incubated with
the compounds for 48 h. The assay was performed according to the manufacturer’s
protocol (Comet assay kit, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Briefly, after lysis
and application to the microscopy slides, electrophoresis was run
in an alkaline buffer for 20 min at 2 V/cm. Subsequently, slides were
washed with pure deionized water and EtOH/water [7/3 (v/v)], and stained with Vista Green DNA Dye. Visualization
was carried out by real-time live confocal microscopy using an inverted
microscope (Zeiss Observer Z1) in arrangement with a spinning disc
confocal system (UltraVIEW VoX).

FRET Imaging of Contractile Ring Proteins

FRET imaging (Figure 5) was performed on a Perkin Elmer Ultraview Vox spinning disk system equipped with a Zeiss Axio Observer microscope, 488 and 561 nm solid state lasers with a PhotoKinesis bleaching module, a Yokogawa CSU-X1 spinning disk, a 63X C-Apochromat objective, and a Hamamatsu ImageEM C9100-13 EMCCD camera. An acceptor photobleaching method was employed for FRET imaging in live cells. The mCherry-Cdc15 or Cdc15-mCherry fluorophores were bleached throughout the cells with 100% 561 nm laser power for 20 cycles. 10 frames of single Z slices in the donor GFP channel were acquired pre- and post-bleach. FRET percentages were calculated by first correcting for background and photobleaching over the 10 pre- and post-bleach frames, and subsequently calculating the percentage increase in GFP donor fluorescence at contractile ring ROIs of a consistent size. Statistical tests in Figure 5A–B and Figure 5—figure supplement 1B and S5B are ANOVA tests versus Rlc1-GFP a negative control which does not FRET with either mCherry-Cdc15 or Cdc15-mCherry, with uncorrected p values reported in Figure 5—figure supplement 1A–B. Statistical tests in Figure 5—figure supplement 1C were Fisher’s exact tests between the mCherry-Cdc15 and Cdc15-mCherry conditions.

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.
