Differentiated cells were dispersed into single cells using trypsin 0.25% (Life Technologies) at 37C for 5 minutes and neutralized with DMEM 10% FBS (Logan, Utah). Single cells were isolated using 40 μM filters. The cells were fixed with 4% PFA for 20 minutes at RT, washed with ice-cold FACS buffer (PBS + 5% FBS and resuspended in FACS buffer). For cells stained for intracellular proteins, resuspension was done in FACS buffer containing 0.1% Triton X-100. Blocking and antibody staining were performed in 96-well plates. After 1 hour of blocking at RT, cells were subsequently resuspended in FACS buffer with primary antibodies and incubated for 1 hour at RT. Antibodies used: PDX1, ab47308 (Abcam) (1:100) and NKX6.1, LS-C124275 (Life Span, Seattle, Washington) (1:100). Cells were washed three times with FACS buffer and then incubated in FACS buffer with secondary antibodies for 1 hour at RT. Secondary antibodies used were Alex Fluor 488 Donkey Anti-Goat IgG (H+L), A11055 (1:500) and Alex Fluor 594 Goat Anti-Guinea Pig IgG (H+L), A11076 (1:500) (Thermo Fisher Scientific). After washing three times with FACS buffer, cells were analyzed using LSR-II flow cytometer (BD Biosciences, San Jose, California). FACS analysis was performed using FlowJo software.

We performed immunohistochemistry as described6 (link). We applied heart-perfused fixation with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). Pancreata were incubated in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at 4 °C overnight, washed with ice-cold PBS three times, and placed in 30% sucrose overnight16 (link). Tissue was embedded in Tissue-Tek optimal cutting compound (Sakura Finetek), frozen on dry ice, and cut into frozen 5-μm sections. We applied antigen retrieval to detect transcription factors (Nacalai USA Inc.). We used primary antibodies to INSULIN (A056401-2; Dako; 1:1000), GLUCAGON (G2654; Sigma-Aldrich; 1:1000), PDX1 (ab47308; Abcam; 1:100), E-cadherin (61018; BD Biosciences; 1:100), REG1 (AF1657; R&D systems; 1:100), REG2 (AF2035; R&D systems; 1:100), REG3d (MAB5678; R&D systems; 1:100), NR5a2 (PPH2325; R&D systems; 1:100), KI67 (GTX16667; Genetex; 1:100), MAFA (IHC-00352; Bethyl Laboratories; 1:100), Cleaved Caspase-3 (9661; Cell Signaling; 1:100), and ALDH1A3 (NBP2-15339; Novus Biologicals; 1:100) and Alexa Fluor–conjugated goat serum as a secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories and Molecular Probes).

Immunostaining was performed on differentiated iPSCs as previously reported [32 (link), 36 (link)]. Cells were washed once with PBS then 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) was added on the cells for 20 min and placed on a shaker at room temperature. The cells were then washed with tris-buffered saline + 0.5% Tween 20 (TBST) thrice in a 10-minute interval on a shaker. Cells were then permeabilized for 15 min at room temperature using phosphate buffered saline (PBS) + 0.5% Triton X-100 (PBST) twice, later blocked overnight with 6% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) in PBST at 4oC. Afterwards, guinea pig anti-PDX1 (1:500, ab47308, Abcam) and mouse anti-NKX6.1 (1:2000, F55A12-C, DSHB) primary antibodies diluted in 3% BSA in PBST were added to the cells and incubated overnight at 4oC. Cells were washed three times with TBST and then Alexa Fluor secondary antibodies (ThermoFisher Scientific) diluted in PBS (1:500) were added for 1 h at room temperature then washed again three times using TBST. Cell nuclei were stained for two minutes with Hoechst 33,258 (DAPI) diluted 1:5000 in PBS (Life Technologies, USA). After washing three times with PBS, images were captured using inverted fluorescence microscope (Olympus).

Generated cells and extirpated organs were prepared and stained by methods already reported12 (link). Briefly, generated IPCs were fixed using a cell fixing kit (Funakoshi), recipient mice were sacrificed and IPCs bearing kidneys were extirpated. 4 μm thick paraffin embedded sections were incubated with primary antibodies against insulin (aa287–299, LS-B129; LSBio) at a dilution of 1:100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), anti-HLA class I (ab70328; abcam) 1:100 in PBS, C-peptide (bs-0274R, Funakoshi) 1:100 in PBS and pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX-1, ab47308;abcam) 1:200 in PBS for 1 h at room temperature after deparaffinization and antigen retrieval. Slides were then incubated with biotinylated secondary antibody, followed by treatment with a streptavidin-biotin-horseradish peroxidase complex. Positive staining was visualized with diaminobenzidine and cell nuclei were counterstained with Mayer’s haematoxylin.

Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at room temperature and then treated successively with 0.3% Triton X-100 (Wako Chemical; Osaka; Japan) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Sigma) for 15 min followed by 3% bovine serum albumin (Sigma) for 30 min to reduce nonspecific reactions. Samples were allowed to react overnight with anti-PDX1 (Abcam ab47308) antibodies at a 1:200 dilution at 4°C. They were then stained with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated anti-guinea pig IgG antibody (ab150185; Abcam, Tokyo, Japan) as the secondary antibody for 1 h at room temperature. Their nuclei were stained with DAPI for 10 min. Images were acquired on a fluorescence microscope (Keyence BZ-9000).

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.
