After overnight fixation, female goldfish brains were washed and embedded in Shandon Cryomatrix (Thermo Scientific), snap frozen in liquid nitrogen, and kept at −80°C. Frozen blocks were sectioned and blocked in blocking buffer (0.3% Triton PBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 45 min at RT. Brain section and fixed cell slides were covered with the anti-GFAP (mouse, 1:800, Millipore, MAB360) (Forlano et al., 2001 (link)), anti-aromatase B (rabbit, 1:800, from the lab of O. Kah (Menuet et al., 2003 (link); Pellegrini et al., 2007 (link)), anti-D1R antibody (rabbit, 1:500, Acris, AP09962PU-N), or anti-TH antibody (rabbit, 1:500, Abcam, AB152) (Yamamoto et al., 2011 (link)) then incubated with donkey anti-rabbit Alexa fluor 488 (1:500, Molecular Probes) and goat anti-mouse Alexa fluor 596 (1:500, Molecular Probes) for 1 h at RT. Slides were washed and mounted with the antifading medium Vectashield with 4,6-diamino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Images were taken by Nikon A1RsiMP confocal microscope with Nikon's Imaging Software NIS-Elements. Neuroanatomical nomenclature follows Peter and Gill (Bannerman et al., 2006 (link)).

Diaminobenzidine and fluorescence labeling was performed as described.10 Briefly, sections were blocked in 10% normal donkey serum and incubated overnight at 4°C with Abs to human αS (15G7, 1:1,000, Enzo), antiphosphorylated 129 αS (ab51253, 1:4,000, Abcam), LAMP1 (ab25245, 1:500, Abcam), LC3B (5F10, 1:500, NanoTools), perilipin (PLIN; G2 sc‐390169; 1:500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH; ab152, 1:500, Abcam). This was followed by incubation with fluorescein isothiocyanate–conjugated secondary Abs (1:500 in PBS) for 3 hours at room temperature. Confocal microscopy was conducted with a Zeiss (Oberkochen, Germany) LSM 710 confocal scanning laser microscope. An ImageJ plug‐in called “colocalization highlighter” created a mask of either LAMP1 or PLIN pixels that overlapped with pS129‐αS pixels. The sizes of the colocalized pixels on the resultant 8‐bit images were quantified using the analyze particle function plug‐in of ImageJ. For striatal TH evaluation, 3 images within the dorsolateral striatum were acquired per section in 3 coronal sections (bregma 0.97–0.37mm), n = 5 mice per group. Fiji color thresholding was used to calculate the respective area fraction covered by TH staining; imaging was performed using a Zeiss LSM 780 confocal scanning laser microscope (×40 field planarity apochromate (PL APO) oil immersion objective).

Striatal Protein Expression Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Harvested tissues obtained from the striatum at 72 hour post-MA or saline exposure were lysed by sonication following their suspension in RIPA lysis buffer containing a protease inhibitor cocktail, as previously described (Filichia et al., 2016 (link)). The resulting homogenate was centrifuged at 14,000 RPM for 20 minutes in a chilled chamber, and the supernatant was removed and handled separately. Protein concentrations were determined using the Bradford absorbance assay. Equal amounts of protein were then resuspended with 5x sample buffer (with beta-mercaptoethanol), and were separated by electrophoresis on SDS-PAGE gels (Bio-Rad) and transferred onto a PVDF membrane (Bio-Rad). Thereafter, membranes were probed with primary antibodies in 1:1000 dilution (rabbit anti-tyrosine hydroxylase [Millipore AB152], rabbit anti-b-actin [Abcam ab8227]) overnight in a cold room and subsequently with HRP-labelled secondary antibodies in 1:2000 dilution (goat anti-rabbit [Jackson 111-035-003]) for 1 hour at room temperature. Protein bands were visualized using an ECL kit (Thermo Fisher) and analysis was performed using NIH ImageJ software.

Cryostat sections (10 μm in thickness) of each eyeball were fixed in cold acetone, and blocked with 2% normal bovine serum for 1h at room temperature. Sections of central retina were incubated with primary antibodies for TH (Millipore, AB152, 1:1000) and Ki67 (Abcam, ab15580, 1:300) overnight at 4°C and washed thoroughly with PBS. After further incubation in FITC-conjugated IgG (Invitrogen, 1:300), sections were counterstained with DAPI (Vector, H-1200) mounted, and photographed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Fluoview 1000, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Zebrafish were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at 4°C for 16 hours, washed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and then dissected to expose the brain. The dissected zebrafish were washed in PBS + 0.3% Triton (PBST), treated with acetone for 10 minutes at −20°C, washed with PBST and then blocked overnight in PBS-T + 1% DMSO + 4% normal goat serum (NGS) at 4°C.

After the completion of the behavioral experiments, mice were terminally anesthetized (euthasol 240 mg/kg, 200 µl, i.p.) and intracardially perfused with PBS then 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). Brains were extracted and postfixed overnight (4% PFA, 4°C). Coronal slices (100 µm) were obtained by vibratome (Leica VT 1200). Sections were rinsed with 0.6% Triton X-100 in 1× PBS (PBST; 6 × 60 min) and blocked in 10% normal donkey serum (NDS) in PBST [60 min, room temperature (RT)]. Primary antibodies: chicken polyclonal GFP (ab13970 Abcam; 1:500) and rabbit polyclonal anti-tyrosine hydroxylase (TH; ab152 Abcam; 1:500), were applied in 2% NDS in PBST (48 h 4°C) before washing (6 × 60 min PBST) and secondary incubation with species specific Alexafluor IgG secondary antibodies (60 min, RT, Invitrogen; 1:500). Tissues were washed again in 0.1% PBST (6 × 60 min), then mounted using DAPI Fluoromount-G (0100–20, SouthernBiotech). Images were acquired using a 20× oil objective on an Olympus microscope (see sample images in Extended Data Fig. 2-3).

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.
