Oil Red O and Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining for Quantification of Atherosclerosis Burden in Mouse Aorta and Aortic Root

Methods Mol Biol 2015;1339:85-99.PMID:26445782DOI:10.1007/978-1-4939-2929-0_5.

Methods for staining tissues with Oil Red O and hematoxylin-eosin are classical histological techniques that are widely used to quantify atherosclerotic burden in mouse tissues because of their ease of use, reliability, and the large amount of information they provide. These stains can provide quantitative data about the impact of a genetic or environmental factor on atherosclerotic burden and on the initiation, progression, or regression of the disease, and can also be used to evaluate the efficacy of drugs designed to prevent or treat atherosclerosis. This chapter provides protocols for quantifying atherosclerotic burden in mouse aorta and aortic root, including methods for dissection, Oil Red O staining, hematoxylin-eosin staining, and image analysis.

Imaging of neutral lipids by Oil Red O for analyzing the metabolic status in health and disease

Nat Protoc 2013 Jun;8(6):1149-54.PMID:23702831DOI:10.1038/nprot.2013.055.

Excess lipid accumulation in peripheral tissues is a key feature of many metabolic diseases. Therefore, techniques for imaging and quantifying lipids in various tissues are important for understanding and evaluating the overall metabolic status of a research subject. Here we present a protocol that detects neutral lipids and lipid droplet (LD) morphology by Oil Red O (ORO) staining of sections from frozen tissues. The method allows for easy estimation of tissue lipid content and distribution using only basic laboratory and computer equipment. Furthermore, the procedure described here is well suited for the comparison of different metabolically challenged animal models. As an example, we include data on muscular and hepatic lipid accumulation in diet-induced and genetically induced diabetic mice. The experimental description presents details for optimal staining of lipids using ORO, including tissue collection, sectioning, staining, imaging and measurements of tissue lipids, in a time frame of less than 2 d.

Oil Red O Staining for Lipid Content in Caenorhabditis elegans

Bio Protoc 2021 Aug 20;11(16):e4124.PMID:34541042DOI:10.21769/BioProtoc.4124.

The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has emerged as a popular model system for studying the regulation of lipid metabolism. Therefore, it is critical to develop a method for determining fat storage in individual worms. Oil Red O (ORO) staining has been validated as an accurate assessment for major fat storage in C. elegans. Here, we describe an optimized protocol for ORO staining of C. elegans and provide detailed instructions for quantifying the intensity of ORO signal in images acquired by light microscopy.

Quantification of Lipid Abundance and Evaluation of Lipid Distribution in Caenorhabditis elegans by Nile Red and Oil Red O Staining

J Vis Exp 2018 Mar 5;(133):57352.PMID:29553519DOI:10.3791/57352.

Caenorhabditis elegans is an exceptional model organism in which to study lipid metabolism and energy homeostasis. Many of its lipid genes are conserved in humans and are associated with metabolic syndrome or other diseases. Examination of lipid accumulation in this organism can be carried out by fixative dyes or label-free methods. Fixative stains like Nile red and Oil Red O are inexpensive, reliable ways to quantitatively measure lipid levels and to qualitatively observe lipid distribution across tissues, respectively. Moreover, these stains allow for high-throughput screening of various lipid metabolism genes and pathways. Additionally, their hydrophobic nature facilitates lipid solubility, reduces interaction with surrounding tissues, and prevents dissociation into the solvent. Though these methods are effective at examining general lipid content, they do not provide detailed information about the chemical composition and diversity of lipid deposits. For these purposes, label-free methods such as GC-MS and CARS microscopy are better suited, their costs notwithstanding.

Oil Red O based method for exosome labelling and detection

Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2022 Jun 30;611:179-182.PMID:35490657DOI:10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.04.087.

With the realization of the role of exosomes in diseases, especially cancer, exosome research is gaining popularity in biomedical sciences. To understand exosome biology, their labelling and tracking studies are important. New and improved methods of exosome labelling for detection and tracking of exosomes need to be developed to harness their therapeutic and diagnostic potential. In this paper, we report a novel, simple and effective method of labelling and detecting exosomes using Oil Red O (ORO), a dye commonly used for lipid staining. Using ORO is a cost effective and easy approach with an intense red coloration of exosomes. Further, the issues faced with commonly used lipophilic dyes for exosome labelling like long-term persistence of dyes, aggregation and micelle formation of dyes, difficulty in distinguishing dye particles from labelled exosomes, and detection of large aggregates of dye or dye-exosome, are also resolved with ORO dye. This method shows good labelling efficacy with very sensitive detection and real-time tracking of the cellular uptake of exosomes.
