This protocol presents a refined approach for fluorescent labeling and flow cytometric analysis of colonic cells following oral lipid nanoparticle (LNP) treatment, focusing on LNP uptake in colonic cell subpopulations in a DSS-induced colitis mouse model. By integrating optimized fluorochrome selection and gating strategies with advanced t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) analysis, this method enables precise identification and multidimensional visualization of LNP-targeted epithelial and macrophage populations under the complex conditions of inflamed colon tissue. Building on our previous studies demonstrating the effectiveness of nanoparticles in targeted drug delivery, this approach highlights the utility of flow cytometry for assessing uptake efficiency and cellular targeting. Unlike conventional protocols, it incorporates t-SNE for enhanced multidimensional analysis, allowing for the detection of subtle cellular patterns and the delineation of intricate clusters. By addressing gaps in traditional methodologies, this protocol provides a robust and reproducible framework for investigating in vivo cellular targets and optimizing drug delivery strategies for nanomedicines.

NMJ dysfunction and morphological abnormalities are commonly observed in neurological conditions, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, and spinal muscular atrophy. Employing precise and reproducible techniques to visualise NMJs in mouse models of neuromuscular disorders is crucial for uncovering aspects of neuropathology, revealing disease mechanisms, and evaluating therapeutic approaches. Here, we present a method for dissecting the deep lumbrical and flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) muscles of the mouse hind paw and describe the process of whole-mount immunofluorescent staining for morphological analysis of NMJs. Similar whole-mount techniques have been applied to other muscles, such as the diaphragm; however, dense connective tissue in adult samples often impedes antibody penetration. Moreover, large hind limb muscles, including the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior, are commonly used to examine NMJs but require embedding and cryosectioning. These additional steps increase the complexity and duration of the protocol and can introduce sectioning artefacts, including transection of NMJs and disruption of morphology. Using small hind paw muscles enables whole-mounting, which completely eliminates the requirement for embedding and cryosectioning. As a result, the entire neuromuscular innervation pattern can be visualised, allowing a more accurate assessment of NMJ development, denervation, and regeneration in mouse models of neurological disease and nerve injury, which can be applied across all postnatal ages. Key features • Small muscles of the mouse hind paw, i.e., lumbrical and FDB muscles, can be rapidly dissected for whole-mount immunofluorescent analysis without the need for cryosectioning. • This protocol allows visualisation of the entire neuromuscular innervation pattern using axonal (anti-tubulin βIII), pre-synaptic (anti-synaptophysin), and post-synaptic (α-bungarotoxin) markers. • Whole-mount immunofluorescence of hind paw muscles enables assessment of developmental, degenerative, and regenerative phenotypes in young and adult mice across disease and injury models. • High-throughput analysis can be performed using NMJ-Analyser or NMJ-morph to evaluate diverse morphological features of the NMJ.</p>","PeriodicalId":93907,"journal":{"name":"Bio-protocol","volume":"15 10","pages":"e5315"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12104838/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144164072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
