Abstract

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in human lung epithelial A549 cells induces filopodia, cellular protrusions consisting of F-actin, that extend to neighboring uninfected cells (Mehedi et al., 2016). High-resolution imaging via stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy revealed filamentous RSV particles along these filopodia, suggesting that filopodia facilitate RSV cell-to-cell spread (Mehedi et al., 2016). In this protocol, we describe how to fix, permeabilize, immunostain, and mount RSV-infected A549 cells for STED imaging. We show that STED increases resolution compared to confocal microscopy, which can be further improved by image processing using deconvolution software.

Background

RSV forms pleomorphic virus particles, with a predominance of long filaments about 100 nm in diameter and up to about 10 µm in length (Bachi and Howe, 1973; Mehedi et al., 2016). High-resolution light microscopy techniques are key to visualizing the interactions between RSV infected cells and virus particles. In a recent study, we used super-resolution fluorescence microscopy to study RSV cell-to-cell spread in human lung epithelial A549 cells.
STED microscopy is one of the super-resolution microscopy techniques that have been developed to circumvent the limitations imposed by the ~200 nm diffraction barrier of light (Hell and Wichmann, 1994; Westphal et al., 2008). STED is based on confocal fluorescence microscopy and employs a pair of lasers, namely a pulsed excitation source and a photon depletion source. The excitation pulse is focused on the sample and excites the fluorescent dye therein. The excitation laser is superimposed with a doughnut-shaped STED depletion laser that quenches excited dye molecules except for the doughnut hole at the very center of the excitation focus, so that emission occurs only from the narrow center. Narrowing the excitation focal point in this way allows for images to be taken at resolutions far below the diffraction limit, e.g., typically 30-80 nm. While STED imaging relies on efficient dye depletion, image resolution and intensity are limited by photobleaching inflicted upon the dye. To address these two contrasting, yet key issues that arise with STED imaging, optimal sample preparation, most notably dye selection and signal intensity optimization, are crucial. STED enabled us to state conclusively that RSV was attached to filopodia rather than merely in the vicinity, and to precisely enumerate viral particles. Here, we describe how samples were prepared for multicolor STED imaging including dye selection, fixation procedure, imaging parameters, and deconvolution. We show how STED and STED deconvolution can improve lateral resolution both qualitatively and quantitatively.
