Visualizing Acidic Compartments with LysoTracker

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to visualize acidic compartments, cells were stained with LysoTracker Red DND-99 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, cells grown on 12 mm glass coverslips (Matsunami Glass Industry, Osaka, Japan, Cat# 1-S) coated with 0.2% gelatin from porcine skin (Sigma Aldrich, Cat# G2500) were incubated with 75 nM LysoTracker Red for 30 min at 37 °C in the dark. Next, the cells were rinsed once with PBS-C/M and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS-C/M for 10 min at room temperature. The fixed samples were then quenched with 50 mM NH4Cl in PBS-C/M for 10 min, followed by blocking with PBS-C/M containing 0.5% BSA, 0.5% saponin, and 0.2 mg/ml sodium azide for 30 min. The samples were then subjected to immunostaining as described above. The images were acquired with a 40 × objective lens on a Zeiss LSM700 microscope (Carl Zeiss, Germany).

Visualization of Autophagic Vesicles and Lipid Droplets

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Autophagic vesicles and intracellular LD were detected based on the protocols of Klionsky et al. [5 (link)] as described in our previous study [24 (link)]. For detection of autophagic vesicles, cells were incubated with 1 mM acridine orange (AO, Sigma, USA), 50 mM monodansylcadaverine (MDC, Sigma, USA), or 50 nM LysoTracker Red (Sigma, USA) for 30 min. Then, they were washed three times in the ice-cold PBS. For intracellular LD staining, cells were incubated with 5 mg/ml Bodipy (Invitrogen, USA) for 30 min, and then washed three times in the ice-cold PBS. Fluorescence was imaged using laser scanning confocal microscopy (Leica, German) and flow cytometry (Beckman, USA) was used to determine fluorescence intensities.

For LysoTracker Red staining, late L3 stage larval garland nephrocytes were dissected in cold Shields and Sang M3 medium (Sigma Aldrich), and then incubated in medium containing LysoTracker Red (1:1000, Thermo Fisher) for 5 min at room temperature (RT). Samples were rinsed 3 times and photographed immediately. For dextran uptake assay, late L3 stage larval garland cells were dissected in ice cold M3 medium, and then incubated in medium supplemented with Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated dextran (1 mg/ml, fixable, 10000 Da, Molecular Probes) for 5 min at RT, rinsed 3 times and fixed with 4% formaldehyde (FA) in PBS (30 min at RT). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI in both cases. Pictures were taken on a microscope (AxioImager.Z1; Carl Zeiss) equipped with a grid confocal unit (ApoTome1; Carl Zeiss), using 40×, 0.75 NA (air), and 63×, 1.4 NA (oil) objectives in Lysotracker and dextran experiments, respectively, a CCD camera (AxioCam MRm; Carl Zeiss), and AxioVision software (Carl Zeiss).

Embryos were collected in PBS and immediately incubated in lysotracker red (Sigma) in PBS with calcium and magnesium for 30 mins at 37 o C. Embryos were then washed in PBS and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight at 4 o C. Embryos were washed in PBS, transferred to absolute methanol in graded steps and cleared in benzyl alcohol/benzyl benzoate (BABB) solution to visualize staining.

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.
