Ultrafast Dynamics of Compound 1 in Cellulo

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In order to investigate the ultrafast dynamics of compound 1in cellulo, laser scanning microscopy and pump-probe spectroscopy were combined in a transient absorption microscope45 . The technological specifications of this setup can be found in ref. 44 and is schematically shown in Supplementary Fig. 6. In the transient-absorption microscope the samples are scanned in a raster pattern by means of a galvanometer-based scanner system (Cambridge Technologies) that together with the focusing objective (Nikon, CFI Plan Apo Lambda 20X, NA = 0.75, WD = 1 mm) provide diffraction limited optical resolution of the microscope. With this system it is possible to obtain linear absorption as well as transient absorption images and information on the local excited state dynamics by recording pump-probe kinetics in a fixed position of the sample with a temporal resolution of about 1 ps. The samples can be moved along the perpendicular plane of the laser beams with 10 nm precision using a scanning stage (SCAN 75 × 50, Märzhäuser).
Additionally the cellular uptake and cellular distribution of compound 1 in the cells was assessed by confocal laser scanning (using a Carl Zeiss, LSM 510 Meta) and structured illumination microscopy (using a Carl Zeiss, ELYRA-S.1).

Whole-Mount In Situ Hybridization and Immunohistochemistry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
WISH and immunohistochemistry were performed as previously described (Nakamura et al., 2006 (link)). For Fig. 3B and C, the expression signals were observed using a BZ-X710 All-in-One Fluorescence Microscope (Keyence) with a 20X objective lens (CFI PlanApo Lambda 20X NA:0.75, Nikon). For Fig. 4F–I, the images of gonad were observed in three parts (anterior, middle and posterior) using a FV1000 confocal microscopy (Olympus) with 60X objective lens (UPLSAPO 60XO NA:1.35, Olympus). The three parts of gonadal images were manually tiled using a software of Illustrator (Adobe CS6) to generate an image of whole view on the gonad.

Confocal Imaging of Mounted Cells and Tissues

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Confocal imaging of the mounted cells or kidney tissue was performed using a confocal imaging system (Revolution XDi spinning disk; Andor Technology) at 40× (Nikon CFI Plan APO Lambda 20X, 0.75 NA) and 120× magnification (Nikon CFI APO TIRF 60X, 1.49 NA) with a 2× magnification lens on a Nikon Ti-E-2000 inverted microscope to achieve Nyquist resolution. Additionally, the imaging setup contained temperature and humidity controlled imaging capabilities, a mechanical Piezo XYZ-stage (Nikon), iXon 897 Ultra back-illuminated camera (Andor Technology), a laser combiner (Andor Technology) containing 405, 488, 515, 568, and 647 nm excitation capabilities, a Dell 5400 Workstation optimized for IQ2 imaging software (Andor Technology), and an active isolation air table (TMC). Images of representative fields were taken. A minimum of three biological replicates were performed to confirm the results. Confocal z-stacks were acquired at Nyquist resolution, which for our system is 0.19 µm when using our 60× objective. Image processing was performed using ImageJ software. 3D z-stack reconstruction and colocalization was performed using Imaris Coloc (Bitplane) image analysis software (Shiwarski et al., 2017 (link)).

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.
