ABSTRACT
We describe an optimized, cost-effective, reproducible, and robust protocol to study sprouting angiogenesis in glass-bottom 96-well plates by confocal microscopy, ideal for screening of drug or shRNA libraries. Effective and stable knockdown of gene expression in primary endothelial cells is achieved by lentiviral transduction. Dynamic behavior of individual cells and fluorescent proteins is analyzed by time-lapse imaging, while competitive advantages in tip cell formation are assessed using mixtures of differentially labeled cell populations. Finally, we present a macro for high-throughput analysis. For complete information on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to van der Bijl et al. (2020) and Kempers et al. (2021).
