Images were collected using a Keyence BZ-X710 fluorescent microscope configured with 3 fluorescent channels (FITC, Cy3, Cy5) and equipped with Nikon PlanFluor 40x NA 1.3 oil immersion lens. Imaging and washes were iteratively performed automatically using a specially developed fluidics setup (Figures S7A–S7C). Images were subject to deconvolution using Microvolution software (http://www.microvolution.com/). The staining patterns of 28 DNA-conjugated antibodies were acquired over 14 cycles of CODEX imaging and overlaid with 2 additional fluorescent antibodies, CD45-FITC and NKp46-Pacific Blue and a DRAQ5 nuclear stain (Figure 3A and low-resolution views in Video S2). Each tissue was imaged with a 40x oil immersion objective in a 7x9 tiled acquisition at 1386x1008 pixels per tile and 188 nm/pixel resolution and 11 z-planes per tile (axial resolution 900 nm). Images were subjected to deconvolution to remove out-of-focus light. After drift-compensation and stitching, we obtained a total of 9 images (one per tissue) with x = 9702 y = 9072 z = 11 dimensions, each consisting of 31 channels (30 antibodies and 1 nuclear stain).

Quantification of Osteocytic Lipid Content

Nile Red fluorescent stain, which becomes fluorescent in non-polar environment (Aldrich) was dissolved in acetone to prepare the stock solution (8mg/ml) and then to a final concentration of 1 μg/mL in 5% BSA in PBS to facilitate cell permeation [48 (link)]. Samples were incubated in the dye solution for 10 min, followed by several washes with 5% BSA in PBS to remove excess dye. Images were collected using a Keyence BZ-X710 fluorescent microscope with 360/40 excitation and 460/50 nm emission filters and equipped with Nikon PlanFluor 40x NA 1.3 oil immersion lens. We have quantified osteocytic fat by measuring relative fat for every osteocyte from multiple images (6/6/9/10 images per group, respectively). This was done by placing a section across every osteocyte in ImageJ and calculating the relative local fluorescence intensity as (Fat(osteocyte)-Fat(baseline))/Fat(baselne). This way, overexposure and bleaching of fluorescence were properly accounted for.

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.
