实验步骤

  1. 幼虫在实验条件下饲养到三龄幼虫Wandering时期。
  2. 将适量PBS缓冲液滴于载玻片上,果蝇三龄幼虫置于液滴中。室温条件下,用解剖镊解剖,分离出脂肪体。将分离好的组织放于含有PBS缓冲液的染色皿中。
  3.  吸干PBS缓冲液,用4%多聚甲醛 (PFA) 在室温下固定30 min。
  4. 吸干PFA溶液,用PBS清洗3次,每次10 min。
  5. 根据需要,用PBS按1:1,000稀释1 mg/ml的中性脂染料BODIPY494/503或按1:2,500稀释0.5 mg/ml Nile red或按1:100稀释的LipidTOX。染料室温染色1小时或4 °C过夜。染色时应注意避光。(Liu等,2014)
  6. 吸干染料溶液,用PBS清洗3次,每次10 min。
  7. 按照1:10稀释20 ng/μl DAPI母液,并染色5 min。染色时应注意避光。
  8. 吸走DAPI,用PBS清洗3次,每次10 min。
  9. 80%甘油压片,用指甲油封片。封片后应尽快进行拍摄。如需保存样品,应避光并放于4 °C。
  10. 用激光共聚焦显微镜或者蔡司荧光显微镜扫描样品 (图1)。

溶液配方

  1. 1× PBS缓冲液
    137 mmol/L NaCl
    2.7 mmol/L KCl
    10 mmol/L Na2HPO4
    2 mmol/L KH2PO4
    用800 ml蒸馏水溶解8 g NaCl,0.2 g KCl, 1.44 g Na2PHO4和0.24 g KH2PO4。用HCl调节溶液的pH值至7.4,加水至1 L。分装后在15 psi (1.05 kg/cm2) 高压蒸汽灭菌20 min,或过滤除菌,室温保存
  2. 4% PFA
    10 g多聚甲醛溶解在0.1 M 磷酸钠缓冲液 (250 ml),60 °C加热搅拌至澄清,调pH到7.4。配制好的溶液于4 °C保存
  3. 4%甲醇溶液
    4 ml甲醇溶解于96 ml蒸馏水
  4. DAPI母液 (1 mg/ml)
    10 mg DAPI粉末加入10 ml双蒸水中配制成1 mg/ml母液,分装在10个EP管中,用锡箔纸包裹,置于-20 °C冰箱保存。实际使用时,将母液1:5,000稀释
  5. Nile Red (0.5 mg/ml)
    用丙酮配制0.5 mg/ml 的母液,配制好的溶液于4 °C保存。用时1:500~1:2,000稀释
  6. BODIPY (1 mg/ml)
    用DMSO或者无水乙醇配制1 mg/ml母液,用时1:500~1:1,000稀释。配制好的溶液于4 °C保存
