For the staining of primary cilia, the cells were washed with cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and fixed with 4% (w/v) paraformaldehyde, which was dissolved in PBS containing 0.1% (v/v) Triton X-100. Subsequently, cells were blocked with PBS containing 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against acetylated α-tubulin (1:1000; T7451, Sigma-Aldrich), γ-tubulin (1:1000; T5326, Sigma-Aldrich), and ARL13B (1:1000; 17711-1-AP, Proteintech) in 1% BSA. After washing, the cells were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488- or 555-conjugated secondary antibodies at room temperature (RT) for 1 h. Before mounting, the cells were treated with Hoechst 33,342 dye (1:10000, H3570, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for nuclear staining. Cilia were observed using a fluorescence microscope. Cilia were counted in approximately 200 cells for each experimental condition (n = 3). The ciliated cell percentage was calculated as follows: (total number of cilia/total number of nuclei in each image) × 100. Cilia lengths were measured using the free-hand line selection tool of Cell Sense Standards software (Olympus Europa Holding GmbH, Hamburg, Germany), and the average cilium length was calculated.

After cells had been seeded onto 12 mm glass coverslips in 24-well plates for 24 hours endogenous KIF18A was depleted as described above and GFP-KIF18A was induced with 2 μg/mL doxycycline. 24 hours after knockdown and induction cells were fixed in −20°C methanol (Fisher Scientific, A412-1) for 3 minutes on ice and stained for rabbit KIF18A 1:100 (Bethyl, A301-080A), guinea Pig CENP-C 1:250 (MBL, PD030), and mouse gamma-tubulin 1:500 (Sigma Aldrich, T5326). All primary antibodies were incubated for 1 hour at room temperature, shaking. Twenty random mitotic cells were imaged for each condition per replicate, and expression level was quantified in ImageJ/Fiji by drawing an ROI around the mitotic spindle and measuring the KIF18A signal within that ROI. Background signal was determined by moving the same ROI to an area with no cells and measuring the GFP signal in that space. The mean background signal for each image was subsequently subtracted from the mean spindle KIF18A signal. All values were then normalized to the mean control background subtracted KIF18A intensity. Median and 95% confidence interval are reported for three individual biological replicates.

For analyses of γH2AX foci, cells grown on glass coverslips were treated with 2 Gy of IR delivered by a CellRad system (Faxitron). Cells were fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature, permeabilized with PBS/0.2% Triton X-100 for 5 min and blocked with blocking buffer (5% BSA (w/v) and 0.1% Tween-20 in PBS). Cells were incubated with the following primary antibodies: γH2AX (05-636, Millipore, 1/1000) and Cyclin A (sc-751, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, 1/200), followed by secondary antibodies and 1 μg/ml DAPI in blocking buffer. Images were acquired using an Olympus FluoView 1000 confocal microscope. For analyses of centrosomal localization, HeLa cells grown on glass coverslips were transfected with pcDNA3.1(−) encoding Flag-PAXX and 24 hours later fixed with methanol at 4 °C for 1 min. Cells were blocked with blocking buffer and incubated with the following primary antibodies: Flag (F7425, Sigma-Aldrich, 1/250) and γ-tubulin (T5326, Sigma-Aldrich, 1/500) followed by secondary antibodies and 0.5 μg/ml DAPI in blocking buffer.

Centrosome Quantification in Serous Carcinoma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Two-color immunofluorescence assay was used to measure the centrosome number per interphase cell in serous tubal intraepithelial carcinoma and high-grade serous carcinoma as previously described34 (link). Briefly, 5 μm sections from each tissue block was de-paraffinized in xylene then rehydrated through graded alcohols. Antigen retrieval was performed in Trilogy solution for 10 minutes. The slides were then incubated at room temperature for two hours with primary mouse-monoclonal γ-tubulin (T-5326, Sigma-Aldrich, dilution 1:200) and rabbit-monoclonal α-tubulin (ab52866, Abcam, 1:200). Signal detection was performed by incubating the slides with fluorochrome-conjugated secondary antibodies (from Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) goat anti-mouse Rhodamine-Rd antibody (1:200), and goat anti-rabbit FITC (1:400) at room temperature for one hour. Three TBST washes were carried out before tissue sections were counterstained with DAPI and mounted.

HeLa cells were changed from normal growth medium to EBSS to induce amino acid starvation-dependent autophagy. After 7 h, cells were harvested in Laemmli buffer and analysed by Western blot with antibodies against p62 (rabbit polyclonal, Sigma-Aldrich, P0067) and gamma-tubulin (mouse monoclonal, Sigma-Aldrich, T5326). The levels of p62 were measured by quantifying the ratio of p62 to tubulin signals with ImageJ.

Protein stability assays were performed according to established methods54 (link). In brief, HEK293T cells were transfected using Xtreme-Gene (Roche 6366546001) following the manufacturer's instructions. After transfection, cells were incubated for 48 h in DMEM media supplemented with 10% FBS, then were treated with 100 μg/ml cycloheximide (2112, Cell Signaling) in DMEM media with 10% FBS. At the indicated times. 100 μl of 2X SDS-PAGE sample buffer was added and the cells were scraped from the wells, boiled for 5 min, then cell lysates were stored at −80 °C. After all lysates were collected, each sample was loaded onto a 10% SDS-PAGE gel and then analysed by western blotting with rabbit anti-MYC antibody (5605, Cell Signaling, 1:1,000) to monitor MYC protein level. Protein expression was quantified from the western blot using GelQuant software. For analysis, MYC levels were normalized to tubulin protein levels (mouse, T-5326, Sigma, 1:2,000). Assays were performed three times.

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.
