Cells were plated on coverslips (Marienfeld precision cover glasses 1.5 H) fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min, and permeabilized with 0.5% TritonX-100 in PBS for 5 min. In the case of digitonin treatment to decrease cytosolic staining, cells were treated with PBS containing 0.01% digitonin for 5 min on ice, followed by fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde, as described previously45 (link).

Tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde overnight at 4 °C, processed for cryoprotection, and embedded in Tissue-Tek O.C.T. Compound. Sections were cut at 8-micron thickness on a cryostat. We labeled peroxisomes with rabbit anti-PEX14 (#10594-1-AP, Proteintech, 1:200 dilution) or anti-PMP70 (#ab3421, Abcam, 1:200 dilution) and stained nuclei with 4′,6-Diamidine-2′-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI) (#D9542, Sigma Aldrich, 1:1000 dilution). Secondary donkey anti-rabbit IgG antibodies either conjugated with an Alexafluor 488 (#A21206, Invitrogen) or 568 tag (#A10042, Invitrogen) were used for this study. The sections were imaged with a Nikon A1RS confocal microscope at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Optical Imaging Core.

All plasmids in this study were constructed through polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-base strategy and sequenced to confirm their identity. Full cDNA sequence of mouse Hsd17b4 was purchased from Darmacon (USA) (MMM4769-202765308). Full sequence Hsd17b4 was constructed in the pEBB-Flag and pEBB-GFP vector (Min et al., 2020 (link)). The untagged protein expressing construct was generated as well. In order to identify PS binding region of Hsd17b4, the three domains of Hsd17b4 were constructed in the pEBG-GST vector. GST-Hsd17b41-305, GST-Hsd17b4321-621, and GST-Hsd17b4633-730 contain the hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase domain, Enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 domain, and the SCP2-like domain of Hsd17b4. HA-Tim-4IgV was previously reported (Lee et al., 2019 (link)).
The antibodies used in this study were anti-Hsd17b4 (15116-1-AP [Proteintech, USA] and NBP2-46005 [Novus, USA]), anti-GST (SC-138; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), anti-Catalase (ab209211; Abcam, UK), anti-Actin (SC-47778; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-Pex5 (GTX109798; GeneTex, USA), anti-Pmp70 (ab3421; Abcam), anti-HA (sc-7392; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor 488, and Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Cross-Adsorbed Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor 555 (A11008 and A21422; Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA).

RIPA buffer (cat. no. R0010; Solarbio) was used to lyse cells, and protein concentrations were determined with a BCA protein assay kit (Beijing Leagene Biotech Co., Ltd.). Protein samples (25 µg/lane) were separated by SDS-PAGE on 10% gels and transferred onto PVDF membranes. The membranes were blocked by protein-free rapid block buffer (Epizyme Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Co, LTD) for 15 min at room temperature and were incubated overnight at 4˚C with primary antibodies against AGPS (1:500, sc-374201, Santacruze), MDM2 (1:500,sc-965, Santacruze), PMP70(1: 1000, ab3421, Abcam), Flag (1: 1000, 201,126-3A6, ZENBIO), c-Myc (1: 1000, sc-40, Santacruze), TrkA (1:1000,2510,CST), p-TrkA (1:1000,PA5-104,674, ThermoFisher), and β-tubulin (1:1000, ABL1030,Abbkine). Following primary antibody incubation, the membranes were further incubated with Dylight 800-Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (1:100, A23910 Abbkine) or Dylight 800-Goat Anti-Mouse IgG secondary antibodies (1:100, A23920 Abbkine) at 25˚C for 1 h. The membranes were then scanned by an imaging system (ODYSSEY ® CLx, Gene Company limited), and the optical density was measured using Image Studio Lite (LI-COR Biosciences).

Diaphragm protein extracts were assayed as previously described [29 (link)]. Briefly, diaphragm tissues were homogenized 1:10 (wt/vol) in 5 mM Tris (pH 7.5) and 5 mM EDTA (pH 8.0) with a protease inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and centrifuged at 1500 g for 10 min at 4°C. Supernatant was collected and protein content was assessed by the Bradford method (Sigma-Aldrich). Proteins were separated via polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Membranes were probed for Beclin 1 (#3495), Atg12 (#4180), LC3B (#2775) (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), Atg7 (NBP2-24682) (Novus Biologicals, Minneapolis, MN), p62 (ab56416), catalase (ab16731), PMP70 (ab3421) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and cathepsin L (sc-6498), spectrin (sc-48382). α-tubulin (sc-58667) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX) was also probed for as a loading control. In addition, mitochondrial protein extracts were also assayed via western blot. Membranes were probed for 4-HNE (ab46545), Parkin (ab15954), PINK1 (ab23707), Mul1 (ab84067), p62 (ab56416) (Abcam), OPA1 (612606), DLP1 (611112) (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), Mfn2 (M6444) (Sigma-Aldrich) and Fis1 (alx-210-907) (Enzo Life Sciences, Farmingdale, NY).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess the colocalization of ABCD3 and UB, HeLa cells were cultured on a glass cover slip and treated with VH298 for 48 h. The cells were then washed with PBS (LB 001–02; WELGENE, Republic of Korea), fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (P2031; Biosesang, Korea) for 20 min, and stained with the antibodies (anti-ABCD3 (ab3421; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and anti-Ubiquitin (sc-8017; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA)). Fluorescent images of the morphology of peroxisomes and UB were obtained by using a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM 800; Carl Zeiss). For the analysis of the colocalization between ABCD3 and UB, the Coloc2 plugin in the free software ImageJ Fiji 64-bit (NIH) was utilized. The calculation of double-fluorescence correlation coefficients was performed through the application of Pearson’s correlation coefficient in the Coloc2 plugin as a measure of the association between the two signals (ABCD3-UB). The mean Pearson’s correlation coefficient (R) values for the level of colocalization between ABCD3 and UB are represented graphically.

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.
