5 protocols using formaldehyde solution

1

Cytochrome c Immunofluorescence Staining

The expression of cytochrome c was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Cells grown on glass-bottomed dishes (MatTek, Ashland, MA, USA) were fixed with 4% formaldehyde solution (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK) for 10 min and permeabilized with 0.5% TritonX-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 10 min. Slides were air-dried, washed with PBS, and incubated with anti-cytochrome c (1:25; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) in 3% bovine serum albumin in PBS. Further details on the protocol can be found in our previous article [68 (link)]. Images were observed under a confocal microscope (LSM Meta 700; Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) and were analyzed using Zeiss LSM Image Browser, version 4.2.0121.

The expression of β-catenin was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Cells grown on glass-bottomed dishes (MatTek, Ashland, MA) were fixed with 4% formaldehyde solution (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK) for 10 minutes and permeabilized with 0.5% TritonX-100 in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for 10 minutes. Slides were air-dried, washed with PBS, and incubated with anti-β-catenin (1:25; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) in 3% bovine serum albumin in PBS. After being washed with PBS, slides were incubated with Alexa 488 (1:200; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR) Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33,342 (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) for visualization. Images were observed under a confocal microscope (LSM Meta 700; Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) and were analyzed using Zeiss LSM Image Browser, version 4.2.0121.

The expression levels of PMCA and PGC1α were analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Cells cultured on glass-bottomed dishes (MatTek, Ashland, MA, USA) were fixed with 4% formaldehyde solution (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK) for 10 min and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 10 min. The slides were air dried, washed with PBS, and incubated overnight at 4 °C with anti-PMCA (1:50, Abcam, #2825) and anti-PGC1α (1:25; Abcam, Cambridge, UK, #106814) in 3% bovine serum albumin which included PBS. After being washed with PBS, slides were incubated with Alexa 488 (1:200; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) for 1–2 h at room temperature. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342 (Life Technologies) for visualization. Images were observed under a confocal microscope (LSM Meta 700; Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) and analyzed using the Zeiss LSM Image Browser, version 4.2.0121.

Cytochrome c release from the mitochondria was analyzed using immunofluorescence staining. Cells were grown in glass-bottom dishes (MatTek, Ashland, MA), fixed with 4% formaldehyde solution (R&D Systems, Abingdon, UK) for 10 minutes, and then permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 (in PBS) for 10 minutes. The slides were air-dried, washed with PBS, and incubated with anti–cytochrome c (1:25; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) in 3% bovine serum albumin in PBS. After washing with PBS, the slides were incubated with Alexa 488 (1:200; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR), and the nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342 (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) for visualization. The images were observed under a confocal microscope (LSM Meta 700, Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) and were analyzed using the Zeiss LSM image browser, version 4.2.0121.

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.
