Beagle eyes were enucleated by the conventional trans-scleral method after euthanasia. Porcine and canine corneas were excised from the globe by cutting with a blade and tenotomy scissors 2 to 3 mm from the limbus. Samples were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin. Sections were stained with PAS according to the standard procedure. A light microscope (BX51; Olympus, Japan) equipped with a digital camera (DP71; Olympus) was used for photomicrography. The thickness of the non-ablated and ablated corneas on the histopathological section was determined by digital image analysis and the percentage of the ablated corneal thickness was calculated (panel H in Fig. 1).
Immunofluorescent staining for α-smooth muscle actin (SMA), a marker for myofibroblasts, was performed in the canine eyes using mouse monoclonal antibody for α-SMA (Dako, USA) with Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (Molecular Probes, USA). The immunohistochemistry slides were mounted with SlowFade Gold antifade reagent with DAPI (Molecular Probes) and imaged using a fluorescence microscope (BX51; Olympus) equipped with a digital camera (DP71; Olympus).

IMCs cultured on cover glasses were fixed in 5% neutral buffered formalin at 37°C for 5 min. After fixation, the cells were washed three times in Tris-buffered saline (TBS) for 30 min each, then with 0.1% Triton-X100 in TBS
containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 90 sec. After membrane permeabilization, the cells were incubated with 1% BSA in TBS at room temperature for 30 min to reduce non-specific binding. Subsequently, the cells were
incubated with 1:100 diluted mouse vimentin antibody (Nichirei Co., Tokyo, Japan, H912) in TBS with 2% BSA at room temperature for 1 hr. After washing with TBS for 30 min at 4°C, the cells were incubated with 1:250 diluted Alexa
Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody and 1:50 diluted Rhodamine-Phalloidin (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, U.S.A., R-415), which is an F-actin probe conjucted to red fluorescent dye and stabilizes actin filaments, in
TBS at room temperature for 1 hr. After washing twice with TBS, the cells were incubated with DAPI (1 µg/ml) for 5 min. The cells were washed twice and mounted on glass slides. We used an Eclipse
E800 (Nikon) for observation.

Actin cytoskeleton was visualized with Alexa Fluor® 594 phalloidin (Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Monoclonal Anti-Myosin (Light Chains 20 kDa, clone MY21, Sigma-Aldrich) and Alexa Fluor® 594 goat anti-mouse IgM (μ chain) secondary antibody (Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were used to localize myosin light chain in cells. Fluorescent images were obtained with a TCS SP2 AOBS Spectral Confocal Scanning System (Leica, Bensheim, Germany).

The viral strain used in this study was a DENV-1 genotype I isolated from a patient in New Caledonia in 2014 (GenBank KY553285). The virus stock was obtained after five passages of 5 days incubation at 28 °C on Ae. albopictus C6/36 cells in Leibovitz L15 medium (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint-Louis, Missouri, USA) supplemented with 2% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco BRL, Paisley, Scotland, UK) and 10% of tryptose phosphate (Gibco BRL, Paisley, Scotland, UK). The titration of the viral stock was performed using immunofluorescent assays with the anti-dengue virus complex antibody, clone D3-2H2–9-21 (Millipore, Billerica, Massachusetts, USA) and the Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (Life technologies, Eugene, Oregon, USA) and the results calculated in FFU/ml (Focus Forming Unit).

LβT2 cells were seeded on poly-L-lysine-coated coverslips and were grown for 2 days. After incubation with GnRHa (10–8 M), the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde-PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes and then were blocked by incubating with 10% normal goat serum for 30 minutes. Immunocytochemistry was performed using an indirect immunofluorescence technique with an anti-NR4A3 primary antibody (1:2000) and an Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (1:200; Life Technologies) [19 ]. To visualize the actin cytoskeleton, F-actin was stained with Alexa Fluor 568 phalloidin (Life Technologies) for 30 minutes. The specimens were mounted with VECTASHIELD mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA), and they were visualized using a confocal laser microscope (LSM710, Carl Zeiss Japan, Tokyo, Japan).

The day following transfection, cells were detached with 0.25% Trypsin–EDTA (Wisent) and 2.0 × 104 cells were re-plated onto a poly-l-ornithine (Sigma-Aldrich) treated clear bottom black 96-well plate (Thermo Scientific, 165305). The next day, the cells were washed once with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich) for 10 min at room temperature. Successively, the cells were blocked with a 1% bovine serum albumin (Fisher Scientific) PBS solution for 1 h at room temperature to prevent non-specific interactions of the antibodies. Cells were then incubated with a monoclonal mouse anti-HA primary antibody for 1 h (BioLegend, 1:200, previously Covance). Afterward, the cells were washed three times with PBS and an Alexa fluor-488 goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (Life Technologies, 1:1,000) was used to label cells. To confirm the ability of recombinant receptors to localize to the cell surface, the Operetta High Content Imaging system (Perkin Elmer) with a 20× WD objective was used. The excitation filter was set at 475/15 nm and its corresponding emission filter at 525/25 which permitted to capture the signal produced by Alexa fluor-488.

Following 5 days of differentiation, C2C12 myotubes were fixed with 4% PFA/PBS for 10 min. Fixed cells were permeabilised in 0.1% Trition X-100/PBS and blocked with 1% BSA/PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Cells were incubated overnight at 4°C with a primary antibody against sarcomeric myosin (MF-20, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank) diluted 1:50 in 1% BSA/PBS. Following this, the cells were incubated with an Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (Life Technologies, Melbourne, VIC) diluted 1:1000 and 0.1 μg/ml DAPI stain (Sigma-Aldrich, Castle Hill, NSW) in 1% BSA/PBS for 1 h at room temperature. Cell images were obtained using the Olympus Fluoview FV10i confocal laser scanning microscope with dedicated software at a 20x magnification. To assess myogenic differentiation, the number of DAPI-stained nuclei within the sarcomeric myosin positive myotubes (multinucleated cells, i.e., ≥2 nuclei) was determined and expressed as a percentage of the total number of nuclei analyzed per image. A minimum of 40 images per group (from two separate experiments) were analyzed using the ImageJ Software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MA).

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.
