Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen

Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) is a key regulator of cell cycle progression and DNA replication.
It serves as a processivity factor for DNA polymerase, ensuring efficient DNA synthesis during cell division.
PCNA is widely used as a marker of cellular proliferation and is implicated in various cellular processes, including DNA repair, chromatin remodeling, and cell cycle control.
Its expression is tightly regulated and can provide insights into the proliferative state of cells in normal and pathological conditions, such as cancer.
Researchers leveraging PCNA analysis can gain valuable insights into cellular dynamics and proliferative potential.

We computed the Pearson correlation between PCNA and all the genes in the Ge et al. [54] (link) dataset and selected the 1% most positively correlated, i.e., 131 genes out of 13,077, to form the meta-PCNA signature (Table S1). The meta-PCNA index of a tissue was computed from its expression profile by taking the median expression of these genes.

Mouse C2C12 myoblast cells were used for all experiments unless otherwise stated and transiently transfected by the calcium phosphate–DNA coprecipitation method as described previously (10 (link)) with equal amounts of plasmid DNA for cotransfections. C2C12 cells stably expressing either GFP-PCNAL2 [human PCNA (1 (link))] or GFP-Ligase [human DNA Ligase I (10 (link))] were established and grown as described previously (1 (link)). A GFP–FEN1 fusion protein was constructed by fusing an N-terminal SV40 nuclear localization signal followed by enhanced GFP and a 15 amino acid linker sequence to the mouse FEN1 ORF, isolated from a mouse embryo cDNA library (Clontech) by PCR and confirmed by DNA sequencing. mRFP1 fusion proteins were obtained by replacing enhanced GFP in previously described PCNA and Ligase plasmids by the mRFP1 coding sequence (11 (link)). The structure of the chimeric proteins, as well as their characterization (expression and localization in mammalian cells) is shown in Supplementary Figure S1 and in refs (1 (link),9 (link),10 (link)).

In order to systematically compare the published signatures to random signatures and evaluate the relation between outcome association and meta-PCNA, we needed an outcome association estimation procedure that is robust and fully automated. We systematically compared three procedures and selected among them the most sensitive and stable one. This is described in Supporting Information (Text S3.), only the selected method is described here. It consists in computing the first principal component (PC1) of the signature (with R's prcomp) and then split the cohort according to the median of PC1. Probes mapping to the same gene were averaged and, following Ramaswamy et al. [57] (link), data were median polished (R's medpolish) before the dimension reduction step.

Western blot was performed referring to our previous articles 24 (link)-26 (link). In brief, proteins from cultured cells or homogenized left ventricles were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE and were electrophoretically transferred onto PVDF membranes (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA; No. IPFL00010). Membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat milk for 60min at room temperature, and were subsequently probed with indicating primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, followed with the secondary antibodies at 37°C for 1 hour. The bands were scanned and quantified by Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA), and protein expressions were normalized to total proteins or GAPDH. Nuclear and cytosolic protein fractions were separated by a commercial kit as our previously described 9 (link), 21 (link). Proteins from cytosolic lysates were normalized to GAPDH, whereas proteins from nuclear lysates were normalized to PCNA.
Total RNA was isolated using TRIzol according to our previous studies and reverse transcribed with Maxima First Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA)27 (link). The expression level of each individual transcript was normalized to Gapdh.

A total of 138 mice were used in this study (102 C57BL/6 male mice and 36
nestin-CreERT2-R26R-YFP male mice). Male mice were used in this study to reduce
experimental variability in stroke. The animals were subjected to the following
experiments: 28 mice were subjected to MCAo and received either vehicle or SAG
treatment from post-stroke day3–8. Mice were subject to locomotion
behavioral functional test before MCAo and at 3, 7, 21, 28 days after MCAo.
Additional 36 mice were subjected to MCAo and received either vehicle or SAG
treatment (post-stroke day3–8) and were evaluated for Barnes maze test
to evaluate memory and learning at 30 days post stroke. 18 mice from the Barnes
maze test group were subjected to MRI study on post-stroke day2 and 30 to
evaluate ischemic damage and CBF. To evaluate the effect of SAG treatment on
Barnes maze performance on control mice, mice received SAG or vehicle treatment
(10mg/kg for 6 days, n= 9 for each group) without surgery and were
subjected to Barnes Maze test 21 days later. To evaluate the proliferation of
SVZ and SGZ cells, Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) pulse labeling were carried out on
post-stroke day 6 after either vehicle or SAG treatment and brain were harvested
24 hours later to quantify BrdU+, PCNA+ (proliferating cell
nuclear antigen) or Ki67+ cells (20 mice). To evaluate neurogenesis and
long-term survival of NSC progeny: 20 nestin-CreERT2-R26R-YFP mice were treated
with tamoxifen (TAM) to induce yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) labeling of SVZ
and SGZ NSCs and treated with either vehicle or SAG (post-stroke day
3–8). YFP+, DCX+ or NeuN+ cells were analyzed by
unbiased stereological method at 30 days post stroke. Mice from the MRI study
and the nestin-CreERT2-R26R-YFP were combined to analyze the DCX+ cells
and angiogenesis as well. To examine gene expression in SVZ NSCs, additional 16
nestin-CreERT2-R26R-YFP mice were subjected to MCAo and SAG or vehicle treatment
(post-stroke day 3–8) and SVZ tissue microdissected using methods
described in 13 (link) for
quantitative RT-PCR. To evaluate angiogenesis by histochemistry, brain sections
from post-stroke day 30 mice were subjected to immunostaining using two
different markers, alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and CD31 and
quantitatively analyzed as described in detail in the supplemental information.
All the experimental groups are randomized and all outcome analysis was
carried out by independent study team members blinded to the treatment
condition. Details on experimental timeline, randomization and blinding of
groups, animal numbers for each experiment, and survival rate/exclusions due to
death are included in online

Two types of immunofluorescence detections were performed on the BrdU-treated lizards. For those in the first group, with survival times of 1.5 h or 3 days (n = 3 each), a triple immunofluorescence detection for GFAP/DCX/BrdU was performed. For those in the second group, with a survival time of 7 days from the first injection and 3 days from the last injection (n = 3), a double immunofluorescence for BrdU/PCNA was performed.
In both cases the protocol for fluorescence immunohistochemistry was similar, except for the antibodies used. First, the slides were deparaffinized and hydrated. Then, they were treated with HCl 2N for 10 min at 37°C for DNA denaturation, rinsed in 0.1 M borate buffer and washed in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and BSA 0.1% (PTA). Subsequently, the sections were incubated in a blocking solution containing 10% casein (Vector) or 5% normal goat serum (NGS) (Sigma, San Luis, MO, USA) in PTA for 1 h, for triple or double immunoassay, respectively. After rinsing in PTA, the sections were incubated in blocking solution with the corresponding primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The primary antibodies used for the first group were: mouse anti-BrdU (1:150, Dako), rabbit anti-GFAP (1:500, Dako), and goat anti-DCX (1:200, Sta. Cruz Biotechnologies); and for the second group: mouse anti-PCNA (1:500, Sigma, San Luis, MO, USA), and rat anti-BrdU (1:200, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Sections were then washed with PTA and incubated with fluorescent secondary antibodies at 1:500 in blocking solution for 1 h at room temperature in the dark.
