Anesthetized mice were perfused transcardially with heparinized PBS followed by 10% NBF. Three-mm pieces were coronally using a cutting matrix and immersed overnight in 10% NBF and then embedded in paraffin. Ten μm FFPE brain sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated. Antigen retrieval was then performed using 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Brain sections were stained with anti-NeuN (Clone A60; Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) or anti-APC (Clone CC-1; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 30 min at room temperature using the Mouse-On-Mouse Fluorescein Kit (Vector, Burlingame, CA), then stained overnight at 4°C with rabbit anti-VP1 [graciously provided by R. Garcea (University of Colorado, Boulder, CO)] followed by donkey anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to Alex Fluor 594 (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA). Astrocyte staining was performed using directly conjugated anti-GFAP (Clone GA5; eBioscience, San Diego, CA). Tissue sections were then mounted with ProLong Gold Anti-Fade Reagent with DAPI (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA). Images were acquired using a Leica DM4000 B LED microscope (Leica-Camera, Wetzlar, Germany).

For immunohistochemistry studies, we used the previously descried protocol20 (link). Brain sections were prepared from control or Sim1-Cre::γ2flox/flox::γ2-TBflox/flox male adult mice (8–10 weeks) after cardiac perfusion at ZT0, 6, 12, and 18. For validation of AAV-GFP and AAV-Cre-GFP mediated γ2 subunit deletion and replacement, brains were harvested at the end of studies with cardiac perfusion, except mentioned otherwise in the text. Primary antibody against γ2 (1:100, NB300-190, Novus Biologicals), BMAL1 (1:200, NB100-2288, Novus Biologicals), c-Fos (1:1000, #2250, Cell Signaling Technology), and cleaved caspase-3 (1:300, #9664, Cell Signaling) were used. The sections were visualized with Alexa Fluor 488® or Alex Fluor 594® (1:200, Jackson immunoResearch Laboratories, Inc.). The signal was captured and imaged with a TCS SP5 confocal microscope (Leica, Nussloch, Germany).
For c-Fos counting, five sections that contain the PVH at matched anteroposterior levels were chosen from each mouse. Within the PVH boundary, all c-Fos-positive cells with bright and clear oval nuclei profiles were counted under the fluorescent microscope with the 200× objective. The number from all sections were averaged and analyzed in all animals.

Immunofluorescence Assay for Lamin A/C

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells grown on coverslips were fixed 24 h after transfection with 3% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized in PBS/0.5% Triton X-100, and incubated in PBS/0.1% Triton X-100/2% BSA for 25 min. Cells were incubated for 30 min each with primary and secondary antibodies in PBS/0.1% Triton X-100/1% BSA. Antibodies were anti-Flag (1:200; Sigma), anti-lamin A/C [50 (link)] (1:400), and anti-rabbit Alex Fluor® 594 (1:200; Jackson ImmunoResearch). DNA was stained with Hoechst 33258. Coverslips were mounted with Mowiol and examined on a LSM 700 confocal microscope (Zeiss) at the Imaging Facility of the Functional and Adaptive Biology Unit of University Paris Diderot/CNRS.

Non-transfected or GFP-VANGL2 transfected HT-1080 cells were plated on vitronectin or fibronectin treated coverslip dishes. Cells were left untreated or treated with MnCl2 and fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde/PBS at room temperature or ice-cold methanol at −20°C. Washed cells were blocked using PBS, 5% normal donkey serum, and 0.1% Triton X-100 for 1 h at room temperature. Cells were incubated with LAMP1 (1:100, D2D11 XP; Cell Signaling Technology), fibronectin (1:100, F3648, Millipore Sigma), paxillin (1:100, AHO0492, Thermo Fisher), or integrin αv (1:100, ab179475, Abcam) primary antibody in block for 1 h at room temperature, washed twice with PBS, and incubated an additional 1 h in the dark with Donkey anti-Rabbit or anti-mouse Alex Fluor 594 (1:500, 711–585-152/715–585-150; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories). Cells were washed three times with PBS. NucBlue Fixed Cell DAPI Stain (Thermo Fisher Scientific) was used to label nuclei. Imaging was performed using a 40x oil objective (NA = 1.3) or 20x dry objective (NA = 0.75) and an Olympus IX83 inverted microscope equipped with a Hamamatsu Orca Flash 4.0 camera. For some images, maximum intensity projections were generated from z-stack slices (0.5 μm).

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.
