To visualize the effect of Cd on intracellular Ca2+ levels in renal cells, mRTEC cells were seeded at a density of 2 × 104 cells/well in 24-well plates. Next day, the cells were loaded with 1 μM Fluo-3/AM in the RMPI 1640 medium (phenol red free) for 30 min at 37 °C in the dark. After dye loading, the cells were washed twice with the medium. Then, the cells were pre-treated with inhibitors for 30 min, i.e. U73122 (1 μM), 2-APB (50 μM), and BAPTA/AM (10 μM), then added CdCl2 (5 μM) or CdCl2 (5 μM) + R467 (1 μM) for 1 hour. Finally, calcium imaging was observed by Olympus IX73 microscopy (Japan).

To detect the expression of Ki-67, the mRTEC cells were treated with CdCl2 (5 μM) with or without R-467 (1 μM), or S-467 (1 μM) for 24 h, or pre-treated with PD98059 (10 μM), SB202190 (10 μM) for 30 min. The cells were fixed for 30 min in 4% Formaldehyde (FA, Sigma-Aldrich). Then, the cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS for 20 min. After blocked with 3% normal goat serum, the cells were incubated with mouse anti-Ki-67 (1:100, Cell Signaling Technology) antibody overnight at 4 °C, followed by 1 h incubation with Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (1:200, Molecular Probes, Invitrogen). After washing twice with PBS, cell nucleus was stained by the DAPI (Invitrogen) for several minutes. The cells were washed in PBS for 10 min and the cells were mounted, then examined by Olympus IX73 microscopy (Japan). To detect the expression of CaSR (anti-CaSR, 1:40, Thermo fisher Scientific) on the membranes of HK-2 and mRTEC cells, the process was performed without the permeabilization step.

Cotyledon Leaf Vein Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Leaf vein patterning was imaging according to a previously described procedure with minor modifications106 . Briefly, cotyledons were fixed in 100% ethanol:acetic acid (6:1, v/v) overnight at 4 °C. They were then washed once in 100% ethanol and again in 70% (v/v) ethanol, followed by clearing in chloral hydrate solution (chloral hydrate/glycerol/water (8:1:3)) for 1 h at RT. Then, cotyledons were rinsed twice in water. Cotyledons were cleared again in 85% (w/v) lactic acid for at least 3 days at RT. Cotyledons were placed in lactic acid and observed using IX73 microscopy (OLYMPUS).

For DAB staining of paraffin sections, 5 µm slices were fixed in 10% formaldehyde followed a protocol as described 61 (link). For Immunofluorescence staining of cryostat sections, 30 µm frozen slices were sectioned by a Leica CM1950 microtome and followed a protocol as previously described 61 (link). All antibodies used in this study were listed (Table S1). Images were analyzed by Olympus IX73 microscopy.
Images of cellular autophagic flux analysis were captured by the Olympus FV1000 laser scanning confocal microscope. For quantitative analysis of the fluorescence intensity, the integral optical density was measured by using Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software.

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.
