Immunohistochemistry was performed as described previously37 (link). Briefly, 10 μm thick cryosections were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at room temperature and then incubated in 0.1% Triton X100/phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 20 min at 37 °C followed by incubation in 3% bovine serum albumin/PBS for 1 h at room temperature. The cryosections were then incubated with the following primary antibodies for 1 day at 4 °C: rabbit polyclonal antibody against α7-nAChR (sc-5544, 1:20; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), rabbit polyclonal antibody against GAD65/GAD67 (ab11070, 1:200; Abcam), rabbit polyclonal antibody against GABA (A2052, 1:100; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA), and goat polyclonal antibody against Brn3a (sc-31984, 1:40; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The secondary antibodies (all from Invitrogen-Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) were Alexa Fluor 555-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG antibody (A31572, 1:1,000), Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG antibody (A11070, 1:500), and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated donkey anti-goat IgG antibody (A11055, 1:500). The sections were finally counterstained with the nucleic acid stain Hoechst 33258 (H3569, 1:2,000; Invitrogen-Molecular Probes) in PBS and imaged using a laser scanning confocal microscope (TCS SP8; Leica Microsystems, Heidelberg, Germany).

Larvae were fixed in 4% para-formaldehyde/PBS overnight at 4 °C. They were then rinsed in PBS. The brains were dissected out, and permeabilized using 1% BSA (fraction V; Sigma), 0.1% DMSO and 0.1% Triton X-100. The anti-GAD65/67 (Abcam ab11070, RRID:AB_297722; 1:500) has been previously used in zebrafish [70 (link)]. The brains were incubated in the primary antibody overnight, rinsed several times in PBS, then incubated in secondary antibody (Alexa 488 goat anti-rabbit; 1:1000). After washing, these were mounted in 1.2% agarose/PBS. Imaging was carried out using a Zeiss LSM 800 laser scanning confocal microscope, with a 40× water immersion objective.

Mitochondria isolated from DT40 lymphocytes were subjected to PDH enzyme activity in a microplate assay (Mitochondria isolation kit; #ab11070, abcam and PDH microplate assay kit, #ab109902, abcam). The activity is determined by the rate of conversion of NAD+ to NADH, which is coupled with reporter dye, and the absorbance change was recorded at 450 nm (infinite M1000 PRO, TECAN).

Whole embryos were lysed in modified RIPA buffer containing 150 mM sodium chloride, 50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 1% Triton X-100, 1% sodium deoxycholate, 1% SDS, and proteasome inhibitor with PMSF, then centrifuged at 4°C for 15 minutes. Equal amounts of protein in each sample were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Mini-PROTEAN TGX Precast Gel (Bio-Rad) and transferred to an Immuno-Blot PVDF membrane (Bio-Rad). The membrane was blocked with 5% (w/v) non-fat milk and incubated with anti-GAD65/67 (ab11070, Abcam) and anti-actin (R1207-1, Huabio) antibodies. After washing three times for 10 minutes each with Tris-buffered saline containing Tween-20, the membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature. Finally, the membranes were incubated in chemiluminescence reagent (34080, Pierce) and exposed to X-ray film.

Larvae were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) overnight and then rinsed several times with PBS. After peeling the skin off the brains, samples were incubated in 1%BSA and then overnight at 4 degrees in primary antibody (anti‐GAD65/67, Abcam ab11070, 1:500 (Cheng et al., 2017)). The following day, the brains were washed several times with PBS and then incubated in secondary antibody (Alexa 488 goat anti‐rabbit, 1:1000) overnight at 4˚C. After multiple washes with PBS, brains were mounted in low‐melting agarose and imaged on a laser scanning confocal microscope (Zeiss LSM800) using a 40x water‐dipping objective. A total of 7 fish were imaged.

The slices were washed with 1× PBS, air dried, and mounted with coverslip. The signals were checked on a confocal microscope (Olympus, FV1200) under 60× (water, NA = 1.20) objective. Rabbit anti-gad65/67 was omitted in the control group. The conclusion was drawn based on two independent replicates.

Western blotting was performed according to our previously described methods37 (link). Briefly, retinal lysates were centrifuged at 12,000 × g for 10 min at 4 °C. Ten micrograms of each sample was separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electrotransferred onto polyvinyldifluoridine membranes (Immobilon-P; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were then blocked with 5% nonfat milk for 2 h at room temperature and incubated with the following primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C: goat polyclonal antibody against α7-nAChR (sc-1447, 1:50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and rabbit polyclonal antibody against GAD65/GAD67 (ab11070, 1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). The membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated rabbit anti-goat immunoglobulin (Ig)G (305-035-003, 1:20000; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA) and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (sc-2004, 1:4,000; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). The relative intensities of the protein bands were quantified by scanning densitometry using Image J software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA). β-actin was used as an internal standard.

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.
