SH‐SY5Y were plated on a 35 mm Ibidi Glass Bottom dish at a concentration of 2 × 105 cells per dish. 48 h after seeding, cells were incubated with 1× NucSpot® Live 488 (Biotium Inc., USA) and 1× MitoView® Fix 640 (Biotium Inc., USA) for 30 min at 37°C prior to imaging. TNF was added immediately before starting the image acquisition. Imaging was carried out using an Elyra 7 Lattice‐SIM Super‐Resolution microscope (Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) every 2 min for 30 min with a 63× oil objective (Plan‐Apochromat 63×/NA1.4). Image analysis was performed with Imaris 9.9.1 (Bitplane AG, Switzerland) using the Spot (mitochondria) and surface (nucleus) functions. Mitochondrial shortest distance to the nucleus is color‐coded.
Macrophages were plated on at 50,000 cells/well in μ‐Slide 8‐well chambers (80826, Ibidi, Martinsried, Germany) and incubated with 0.5 μM MitoTracker Green (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 15 min at 37°C prior to imaging. The nuclei were stained using 2 μM Hoechst (Thermo Fisher Scientific). TNF was added immediately before staring video recording. Imaging was carried out using a confocal microscope (LSM800, Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) and LD Plan‐Apochromat 40× objective.

Optimizing JEG-3 Spheroid Growth and Attachment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Based on preliminary experiments set up to optimize the kinetics of JEG-3 spheroid growth, JEG-3 cells at 80% confluence were seeded at 3 × 104 cells/ml in complete RPMI medium additioned with 1.5% agarose [19 (link)], allowing to obtain spheroids of 100–250 μm in diameter at 2–4 days of culture. JEG-3 spheroid size was measured using an optic microscope equipped with a calibrated eyepiece reticule. Cell viability was measured by DAPI stain.
For attachment assays, HEC-1A cells were seeded in 12-well plates (Nunc), at 1.6 × 106 per ml/well, and cultured for 2 days. Then, JEG-3 spheroids were transferred onto HEC-1A monolayers one by one with a fine Pasteur pipette. After 0.5, 1, and 2 h of incubation, the attachment rate was calculated by the NucSpot Live 488 test (Biotium, Fremont, CA, USA), under fluorescence microscopy, and expressed as the rate between attached and seeded spheroids.

On the day before imaging, 2,500 cells were plated in each well of an Ibidi 8-well plate chamber (µ-Slide 8 Well high Glass Bottom, Ibidi). After 24 h, cells were washed twice with PBS and stained with NucSpot Live 488 (Biotium) or with NucRed Live 647 (Invitrogen) dyes, following the manufacturer’s instructions. When using tNucSpot Live 488, the dye was incubated with the cells in the imaging solution (Live Cell Imaging Solution (Invitrogen) supplemented with 10% FBS). In the case of NucRed Live 647, cells were washed 4 times with Live Cell Imaging Solution and then imaged in Live Cell Imaging Solution supplemented with 10% FBS. Cells were imaged on an Axio Observer Zeiss wide-field microscope equipped with a Plan-Apochromat 20x/0.8 M27 air objective, incubation chamber with controlled temperature, CO2 and humidity, and a Hamamatsu camera. Images were acquired every 10 min in the 488 and 647 channels, with the light source X-Cyte lamp at 20% power for 48 h.

Multimodal Tissue Imaging Protocol

Sections were permeabilized and blocked as described previously 15 . Anti-col1a1 (AB_2904565, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-laminin (AB_10001146, Novus), anti-CD45R/B220 (AB_2896201, eBioscience) for B cells, and dapi or NucSpot Live 488 (Biotium) were used for nuclear staining. Stained samples were mounted in SlowFade Glass (Invitrogen). Micrographs were acquired on a Leica Thunder TIRF instrument in epifluorescence (Leica DMI8), using 20x objective (Leica HC PL APO 20x/0.80 DRY). Laminin fluorescence was corrected for flatness of field using a dyed slide reference and stitched using LAS-X (LAS X 3.7.5.24914).
For sequential staining of sections, initial immunostaining and imaging was performed as described, the samples decoverslipped, and then stained for Masson's trichrome

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.
