PH-PLCD1-GFP, PH-PLCD1-iRFP, and TfR-GFP plasmids were purchased from Addgene (plasmids 51407, 66841, and 45060, respectively) and were transfected into cultured HPAECs using the Neon Transfection System (Thermo Fisher) 2 d before imaging under optimized conditions (1,270 V, 20-ms pulse length, with two pulses). All of the images were captured using a confocal laser-scanning microscope (A1R HD25; Nikon) equipped with ×60 (ApoTIRF) and ×100 (SR ApoTIRF) objectives at the following excitation/emission wavelengths: EGFP-D4, PH-PLCD1-GFP, and TfR-GFP (488, 525/50 nm); mCherry-D4 (561, 595/50 nm); and PH-PLCD1-iRFP (640, 700/75 nm) using NIS-Elements C software (Nikon). The obtained images were merged using Adobe Photoshop software. Signals of D4-based sensors were quantitatively analyzed by Image Pro-10 software (Media Cybernetics).

Four sections of the small intestine from each rat were stained with Alcian Blue using a standard procedure, as previously described (Ducray et al. 2019). Enumeration of goblet cells was according the protocol proposed by Trevizan et al. (2016). Six images from each section were taken with a digital camera (Olympus BX50) coupled to an optical microscope with a 20x objective. The number of goblet cells present in a 0·96 mm2 in the mucosa of each animal were quantified using ImagePro 10 software (Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD).

Facial images for skin pore analysis were obtained using VISIA‐CR (CANFIELD, Fairfield, CT, USA). Skin pore analysis was performed on the forehead, cheeks, and perioral areas using the cross‐mode from VISIA‐CR. Several filters in Image‐Pro 10 software (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD, USA) were used to emphasize the skin pores in the analysis area. The skin pore area (measured in pixels) was then analyzed.

Fluorescence Imaging of Intestinal Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The small intestines (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum) from sham and VSG control mice were paraffin-embedded and sectioned onto slides by the University of Michigan In-Vivo Animal Core. Paraffin was removed using Citrisolv (VWR). The slides were incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody (see above). The slides were stained with corresponding secondary antibodies conjugated to fluorescence dyes (see above) for 2 hours at room temperature. The slides were mounted in an antifade fluorescence mounting medium containing DAPI (VECTASHIELD with DAPI, Vector Laboratories, catalog H-1200). Fluorescence images were obtained using an Olympus IX73 inverted fluorescence microscopy system or Nikon Eclipse Ti fluorescence microscope with a motorized X-Y stage system. Images were analyzed using Olympus cellSens imaging software or Image Pro 10 software (Media Cybernetics).

Cerebellum Cytoarchitecture Evaluation in Hypoxia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To evaluate the effect of hypoxia injury and GH treatment upon tissue cytoarchitecture, cerebellums were collected and fixed in Carnoy´s solution for 24 h at 4 °C, dehydrated in ethanol, and embedded in paraffin wax. Tissue sections (10 µm) were cut using a microtome and mounted onto charged slides [14 (link)]. For histological analysis, slides were stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) [57 (link)]. Cerebellum cell-layer thickness was determined in slices stained with H-E in at least 10 microscopic fields per animal, and 3 individual animals per experimental group were examined. Morphometrical analysis was performed in the same area of the folia for equivalent group comparisons. Images were captured using an Olympus BX51 fluorescence microscope (Tokyo, Japan) and analyzed with Image Pro 10 software (Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD, USA).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Protein Expression

T-47D, MCF-7 and BT-20 cells were fixed subsequent to experimental treatment using ROTI® Histofix formaldehyde fixation reagent (4% formaldehyde in PBS, pH 7, Carl Roth, Karlsruhe, Germany). An indirect immunoperoxidase technique was applied to visualize the target protein expression. Antigen retrieval was performed in a 10 mmol/L sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) followed by inhibition of endogenous peroxidase by incubation for 30 min with 3% H2O2. After two washes in trissaline buffer, slides were incubated with 1% goat serum for 30 min to block unspecific staining. Following overnight incubation with the target protein antibody (Supplementary Table 3) at RT and two washing steps with PBS, slides were exposed to ImmPRESS peroxidase polymer reagent (BIOZOL, Eching, Germany) for 60 min at RT. Staining was achieved by 3,3-diaminobenzidine (DAB; BIOZOL, Eching, Germany) and the cells were counterstained with hemalaun (Merck). The colour intensity was quantified and evaluated with the software Image-Pro® 10 (MEDIA Cybernetics, Rockville, USA), according to the manufacturer’s specifications. For better comparison, the percentage staining in comparison to the cell surface was calculated. A staining below 5 % of the area was considered negative.

Quantifying Vascular Media Thickness

Formalin fixed and paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue was immunofluorescence stained for α-smooth muscle actin-stained vascular vessels using the protocol outlined in Table 1. Images were captured using a Nikon Eclipse 80i microscope (Nikon, Melville, NY) and Olympus DP74 color camera (Olympus, Waltham, MA). The vascular media was identified by thresholding and tracing using image processing software (Image-Pro 10, Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD), the effective radii of the outer and internal perimeters of the medial layer quantified, and the fractional media thickness calculated as the difference in radii divided by the external media radius.

Vero E6 cells were infected with ZIKV at MOI=0.05 and incubated at 37°Cfor 72 h. Cells were washed thrice with ice-cold PBS, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min, and permeabilized in 0.2% Triton X-100 for 10 min.

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.
