Approximately 106 dissociated sgCtrl and UGCG-KO cells (~106) were washed twice with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) buffer (1x PBS, 0.2% sodium azide, and 1% FBS) and transferred to the wells of a 96 well U-bottom plate, then incubated with 1:200 dilution of Alexa-488 conjugated Cholera toxin subunit B (diluted in FACS buffer) for 1 hr on ice in the dark. As an isotype control, sgCtrl cells were separately incubated with 1:200 dilution of Alexa 488 anti-rabbit antibody (Thermo Scientific) for 1 hr on ice. Following three washes with FACS buffer, cells were passed through a 35 μm cell strainer attached to a 5 ml polystyrene tube to prevent clumping (#352235, BD Biosciences). All samples were kept on ice until subjected to flow cytometry using a FACSCalibur cytometer (BD Biosciences). Data were analyzed with FlowJo 9.9.6 software (BD Biosciences).

Nanoparticle Uptake and Gli2 Expression

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MDA-MB-231-bone cells were seeded in a 4-chamber well slide at 20,000 cells/well. After 24 hr, media was replaced with media containing treatments. For NP uptake experiments, GANT58-Cy5NPs were added and incubated for 12 hr after treatment. Cells were then stained with DAPI and viewed on a Nikon Eclipse TI confocal microscope for Cy5 and DAPI fluorescence. For Gli2 immunofluorescence, cells were incubated with 20 μM GANT58, 20 μM GANT58-NP, Empty-NP, or DMSO control for 72 hr, fixed with 4% neutral-buffered formalin, and washed with Tris-buffered saline (TBS). The cells were then blocked and permeabilized with TBS containing 2.5% BSA, 0.1% Tween, and 0.2% Triton-X for 5 min. Gli2 antibody (1:500, Novus Biologicals) was then incubated in permeabilization buffer overnight at 4°C. Cells were then washed again with TBS and incubated with secondary Alexa-488 anti-rabbit antibody (1:2000, Thermo Fisher) for 90 min. The cells were then stained with DAPI for 10 min, washed, and mounted with a cover slip. Cells were imaged using an Olympus BX60 fluorescence microscope for DAPI and Alexa-488 fluorescence. ImageJ was used to calculate the Manders coefficient to quantify Gli2 nuclear colocalization.

Immunolabeling and Confocal Imaging of Adult Brains

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult brains were dissected in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), fixed for 15 min in 4% paraformaldehyde, washed in PBT (0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS), stained in primary antibodies at 4°C for ca. 48 h, washed in PBT, stained in fluorescent secondary antibodies at 4°C for overnight, then washed in PBT and mounted using Vectashield (Vector Laboratories, Inc.). A Leica TCS SP5 confocal microscope was used to capture sequential images of the brains at 20× magnification with LAS AF imaging software from Leica (version 2.6.0). Anti-TH mouse monoclonal antibody used in these experiments was obtained from Immunostar (Hudson, WI, USA), and was used at a concentration of 1:500. Anti-GFP rabbit polyclonal antibody was procured from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., and was also used at a concentration of 1:500. Alexa633 anti-mouse antibody and alexa488 anti-rabbit antibody (Invitrogen) were both used as secondary antibodies at 1:200. All antibodies were diluted in PBT+10% normal goat serum (NGS Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories).

Quantifying Cofilin Phosphorylation in Breast Cancer Cells

MCF7 human breast cancer cells were plated at 5×103 cells/well in black polystyrene glass-bottomed 96 well plates and treated the next day with 0.2 μg/mL doxorubicin plus indicated LIMK inhibitor concentrations for 18 hours. Cells were washed, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 (v/v) and blocked for 1 hour with 1% BSA (w/v). Fixed cells were stained with rabbit antibody against phospho-Ser3 cofilin, then Alexa 488 anti-rabbit antibody (Invitrogen), Texas red Phalloidin (Molecular Probes) and DAPI (Sigma). After washing, cells were imaged on a High Content Imaging Operetta system (PerkinElmer) and phospho-Ser3 cofilin fluorescence intensity for each cell quantified using Harmony® High Content Imaging and Analysis Software (PerkinElmer), and plotted as percent change from DMSO alone-treated control for eight independent replicate determinations. EC50 values were calculated from dose-response curves using Prism 5 (GraphPad).

Quantifying ADC Internalization in Cancer Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cancer cells were plated in 48-well plates and incubated overnight in a
37 °C incubator with 5% CO2, followed by treatment with 10 nM
Alexa 488-labeled ADC in medium (pH 7.0) for 0.5, 4, and 20 hours. Treated cells
were cooled on ice and surface fluorescence of Alexa 488-labeled ADC quenched
with 5 μg/ml rabbit anti-Alexa 488 antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific)
for 30 minutes at 4 °C. The quenching efficiency was determined using
separate cell samples which had been incubated with Alexa 488-labeled ADC on ice
(to prevent internalization) followed by treatment with anti-Alexa 488 antibody
or vehicle control. Samples were washed, harvested by trypsinization,
resuspended in PBS, analyzed using a BD Accuri C6 flow cytometer (BD
Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) and data processed with FlowJo (FlowJo, Ashland,
OR, USA).

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.
