Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (NRVMs) were plated on glass coverslips coated with poly-D-lysine in 12-well plates. Cardiomyocytes were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde for 20 min with 2% paraformaldehyde. Immunofluorescence was performed as previously described [27 (link)]. Primary antibodies employed include mouse anti-Troponin-T (1:200; Abcam, Cambridge, UK; ab8295), rabbit anti-CaVα2δ1 (1:200, Alomone, Jerusalem, Israel, ACC-015), and rabbit anti-CaVα1C (1:200, Alomone, ACC-003). Secondary antibodies employed include goat anti-mouse coupled to Alexa 555 (1:800; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA; A21424) and donkey anti-rabbit coupled to Alexa 488 (1:800; Invitrogen; A21206). The nucleus was identified with 4′,6′-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) staining, and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole DAPI (1:800). Images were captured by confocal microscope with 20× or 63× objective. Images were analyzed using Zeiss LSM image software. The cross-sectional area (µm2) of 250 Troponin-T+ mononucleated cardiomyocytes from 5 different images per condition was determined using Zeiss LSM image software. For the colocalization analysis, wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) antibody (1:200; Invitrogen; W32466) was added to cardiomyocytes prior to fixation.

Liposomal Drug Delivery and Tumor Hyperthermia

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liposome binding to tumor vasculature and their clearance from circulation was analysed by intravital microscopy after injection of DiD-labelled TSL or RGD-TSL and followed up to 24 or 5 h respectively. In order to evaluate Dox release during hyperthermia and its uptake by tumor vascular endothelial cells and tumor cells, DiD-labelled Dox-TSL or RGD-Dox-TSL were injected i.v. through the penile or tail vein at a dose of 5 mg/kgDox. Both formulations were allowed to circulate for 5 h at body temperature in order to be able to bind to vascular angiogenic endothelial cells or tumor cells and observed by confocal microscopy (Zeiss LSM 510 META). After 5 h of circulation, tumor was heated at 42°C for 1 h and Dox release and uptake was detected as above (20× objective lens). Regions of interest were selected before, during and in the end of the hyperthermia treatment. Images of 1024 × 1024 pixels were analyzed using Zeiss LSM image software (Zeiss, Germany).

Immunohistochemistry was performed as previously described54 (link), 55 (link). Free floating, fixed brain sections with 40-μm thickness underwent fluorescent immunohistochemical staining using the following primary antibodies: anti-glial acidic fibrillary protein (GFAP) (OPA1-06100, Thermo Fisher, 1:1000 dilution), anti-CD45 (MCA1031G, BioRad, 1:500 dilution), anti-mouse fibrinogen (ab34269, Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:1000 dilution), and anti-claudin 5 (ab15106, Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:500 dilution). The secondary antibodies used included Alexa Fluor 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (A-11008), Alexa Fluor 488 Goat Anti-rat IgG (A-11006), and Alexa Fluor 350 Goat Anti-rat IgG (A-21093, Invitrogen; 1:500 dilution). Stained sections were imaged using a Zeiss LSM5 confocal scanning microscope system and analyzed using the Zeiss LSM Image software (Zeiss Ltd., Jena, Germany). Another cohort of brain sections underwent 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB) staining with anti-mouse fibrinogen (ab34269, Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1:3000 dilution). Stained sections were imaged using a Nikon E-600ME microscope and analyzed using MetaMorph software. Immunohistochemical images were taken of the left cerebral cortex (ipsilateral to the lesion).

HT-29 cells were grown on coverslips for 24 h and treated with 20 nM dasatinib for 24 h. The cells were fixed with 3.7 % formaldehyde for 20 min and permeabilized with 0.1 % Triton X-100 for 1 min. The fixed cells were incubated with mouse anti-E-cadherin (BD Biosciences), rabbit anti-p-Src (Cell Signaling Technology), rabbit anti-actin (GeneTex), rabbit anti-Rab11 (Invitrogen), rabbit anti-pEGFR (Invitrogen) and rabbit anti-p-FAK (Cell Signaling Technology) for 1 h at room temperature, followed by incubation with secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 or 594 (Jackson ImmunoResearch) for 1 h at room temperature. After washing with PBS, the coverslips were mounted with Fluoromount (Merck-Sigma, MA, USA), and images were acquired using a Zeiss LSM 510 META confocal system with a 63X objective (1.4 oil). Z-scanning sections were taken for 3D imaging, and line scans and side views were analyzed using Zeiss LSM image software. For quantification of E-cadherin, Rab11 and pEGFR distribution at leading edge and the cell-cell contacts, more than 100 cells of each independent experiment were counted, the positive counts were divided by the total cell-cell contact numbers.

B16Bl6, B16F10 or HUVEC cells were seeded at the same concentrations as for fluorescent microscopy in cell culture chambers containing a cover glass insert coated with 0.1% gelatine. Cells were allowed to recover for 24 h. After 24 h, cells were incubated with 400 nmol/ml NBD-PE labelled TSL or RGD-TSL for 3 h at 37°C and for 30 min with lysotracker (LysoTracker® Red DND-99). After incubation, cells were washed three times with DMEM (B16Bl6 and B16F10) or HUVEC medium (HUVEC). Cells were analyzed on a Zeiss LSM 510 META confocal laser scanning microscope. NBD-PE fluorescence was detected by 513 nm argon laser and lysotracker was monitored by a 543 nm Helium –Neon laser. For Dox release experiments, cells were incubated with NBD-PE or DiD labelled Dox-TSL or RGD-Dox-TSL for 3 h at 37°C and after that washed three times with medium with FCS. Dox release was followed in time for 1 h at 42°C (40 × objective lens, 2,5 μm pinhole) and its fluorescence was detected by a 543 nm Helium –Neon laser. Images of 1024 × 1024 pixels were analyzed using Zeiss LSM image software (Zeiss, Germany).

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.
