Protein samples were treated for 30 min at 50°C in a sample-treating solution containing 2% SDS and 5% β-mercaptoethanol. The samples were then loaded onto a 12% or 15% SDS-polyacrylamide gel (7.0×8.3 cm ×0.75 mm) and electrophoresed using Mini-Protean Tetra system (Bio-Rad) at 15 mA (current constant). After electrophoresis, proteins separated on the gel were transferred onto a methanol-activated PVDF membrane (Immobilon-P, pore size 0.45 µm, Millipore) or a nitrocellulose membrane (Protran BA85, pore size 0.45 µm, Whatman) for 2 h using TE22 Mighty Small Transfer system (Hoefer Scientific) at 100 V (voltage constant). The membrane was then treated with or without phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.4% PFA for 30 min at room temperature, followed by blocking for 1 h with 5% skim milk (Carnation) in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T). The membrane was then incubated for 1 h with a primary antibody in TBS-T containing 1% skim milk. As primary antibody, mouse monoclonal anti-α-syn antibodies 4D6 and LB509 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and rabbit monoclonal anti-phospho α-syn antibody EP1536Y (Epitomics, Burlingame, CA) were used at a dilution 1∶1,000, and rabbit polyclonal anti-actin antibody (Sigma) was also used at a dilution 1∶5,000. After washing with TBS-T containing 1% skim milk for 5 min three times, the membrane was incubated for 1 h with a secondary antibody, horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG or anti-rabbit IgG antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), in TBS-T containing 1% skim milk. After washing with TBS-T for 10 min three times, protein bands on the membrane were detected by chemiluminescence method using ECL-Plus immunoblotting detection system (GE Healthcare).

C. elegans were grown at 22.5°C on nematode growth media (NGM) as described previously [85] . N2 wild type, lmp-1(nr2045)[67] (link), unc-10(md1117)[17] (link), and snb-1(md247)[12] (link) strains were used in the study.
Two fixation conditions were used for the whole-mount immunohistochemistry: Bouin's [86] (link) and methanol/acetone. For the methanol/acetone fix, tubes of frozen worms (washed off of large NGM plates) were thawed on ice and incubated in 2 volumes of cold methanol at 4°C for 10 minutes, sonicated on ice with a tip sonicator two times for 5 seconds each at maximal setting to break open the worms. The tube was incubated on ice for 10 minutes and spun down briefly in a microcentrifuge. The supernatant was aspirated and 2 volumes of −20°C acetone were added to the pellet. The worms were incubated on ice for 10 minutes and spun down briefly in a microcentrifuge. The supernatant was removed and 2 volumes of AbA (PBS + 0.05% Tween-20 + 0.5% BSA) were added to the pellet. The worms were then incubated with rolling agitation at RT for 30 minutes and spun down in a microcentrifuge. The supernatant was aspirated and two volumes of AbA + 20% glycerol was added to the pellet. The worms were then aliquoted and flash frozen in liquid N2 and stored at −80°C until needed.
For immunostaining, fixed worms were incubated in BLOCK [2% BSA + 2% gelatin+ 2% powdered milk (Carnation) +0.05% Tween-20 in PBS] for 1–2 hours. The worms were washed three times in PBST (PBS +0.1% Tween20), and incubated overnight at 4°C with a 1∶10 dilution of the hybridoma tissue culture supernatant in BLOCK. Worms were washed three times in PBST and incubated for 1 hour with the secondary antibody diluted in BLOCK. The secondary antibodies used to visualize the binding pattern of the primary antibodies were goat anti-mouse IgG Alexa Fluor® 488 or 568 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) at a 1∶2000 dilution. Gonads and intestines were fixed and stained as previously described [87] (link).
Samples were examined on a Zeiss Akioskop equipped with an X-CITE 120 mercury bulb (EXFO) and standard epifluorescence filters. Images were captured using a Regita EXi cooled CCD camera and viewed using the Open Lab software (Improvision, PerkinElmer, Boston, MA). Image panels were assembled in Photoshop. In some cases, the corners of rotated images were colored to match the background. Additionally, other stained material in the field of view was excised to simplify images and replaced with background signal. Original images are available upon request. Gonad and Intestine images were assembled as previously described [87] (link).

Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on flexor digitorum tendons collected from normal controls (n=12), trained controls (n = 9), and rats that had performed either the HRHF task for 3 (n = 4), 6 (n=4) or 12 weeks (n=4), or the LRNF task for 3 (n=3), 6 (n=4) or 12 weeks (n = 3). Animals were euthanized, perfused transcardially with 4% paraformaldehyde in PO4 buffer, and forearm musculotendinous tissues were dissected as a mass off the forearm bones as shown in Figure 3K,L, and sectioned longitudinally as a soft tissue mass (en bloc) as described previously (19 (link), 23 (link)). Sections, on slides, were incubated in 3% H2O2 in methanol (4°C) for 30 min, washed, incubated in 4% dried milk in PBS (Blotto) for 20 min, and then overnight at rm temp with a Substance P antibody (# MAB1566, Chemicon, Temecula, CA; 1:500 dilution with 4% carnation milk in PBS). After washing, sections were incubated for 2 hrs at rm temp with goat anti-mouse peroxidase-conjugated (HRP) secondary antibody (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA) diluted 1:100 with PBS. HRP was visualized as a black immunoreactive stain using diaminobenzidene (DAB) with cobalt (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). For IL-1β and periostin like factor (PLF; labels activated fibroblasts producing this matricellular protein), sections were immunolabeled and detected with HRP-DAB as previously described (21 (link),24 (link)). Eosin and/or nuclear red were used as counterstains. A series of adjacent sections were also stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) only. Sections were dehydrated and coverslipped with DPX mounting medium. For connective tissue growth factor (CTGF; a fibroblast growth factor that induces collagen production and an activated fibroblast marker), sections were immunolabeled and detected with Cy3 (red fluorescence), and coverslipped with 80% glycerol in PBS, as previously described (22 (link)). Negative control slides included omission of either the primary antibody or the secondary antibody.
Selected sections were double-labeled after Substance P immunolabeling with either anti-ED1 (detects a 90 kDa lysosomal membrane protein in monocytes/macrophages) or anti-PGP9.5 (a pan neuronal marker). After Substance P immunolabeling with secondary antibody conjugated to Cy2 (green tag; Jackson, diluted 1:100 in PBS for 2 hrs), tissue sections were washed, digested with 0.5% pepsin in 0.01 N HCl for 20 min at rm temp, and then incubated with goat serum (4%) in PBS for 30 min at rm temp. Sections were then incubated with either anti-ED1 (MAB1435, Chemicon, Temecula, CA, 1:250 dilution in 4% goat serum in PBS) or anti-PGP9.5 (ab8189, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, 1:50 dilution in 10% goat serum in PBS) overnight at rm temp. Sections were incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies conjugated to Cy3 (red tag; Jackson). Slides were coverslipped with 80% glycerol in PBS. Selected sections were also double-labeled with CTGF and collagen type I antibodies as described previously (22 (link)).

The modified laminar flow adhesion assay performed was a modification of the one described previously (Brieher et al., 1996 (link)). In brief, borosilicate glass capillaries (1.1 mm internal diameter) (Sutter Instrument) were precoated with protein A (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech) 100 μg/ml in PBS++ during 5 h at 4°C, and nonspecific binding sites were then blocked with 0.5% casein hydrolysate enzymatic (ICN Biochemicals, Cleveland, OH) in PBS++ for 2 h at 4°C. Then these capillaries were coated overnight at 4°C with the Fc–cadherin fusion proteins at various concentrations (100, 20, 10, and 5 μg/ml). To control the amount of Fc–cadherin fusion protein bound to protein A on the surface, the total Fc-containing protein concentration is maintained at 100 μg/ml by adding the appropriate amount of 1 mg/ml Fc (Human IgG, Fc Fragment, Plasma, Calbiochem) in PBS. Nonspecific binding sites were then blocked with 5% milk (nonfat dry milk; Carnation, Nestle) in HBSS containing 1 mM CaCl2. CHO cells or the stable cell line C-CHO were grown under standard conditions then harvested by a method that leaves cell surface cadherins intact (incubation with crystalline trypsine [0.01% wt/vol] in PBS++), washed, and resuspended in HBSS/1 mM CaCl2 or HBSS/1 mM EDTA. At that point, cells were infused into the coated capillary from a reservoir using a pump. After 1 min, the flow was stopped, and the cells were allowed to bind to the surface under static conditions for 10 min. Capillaries were observed with a phase microscope, and the number of cells attached to the substrate in a 20× field was counted. Flow was initiated, and the number of cells remaining in the field was counted after 30 s. Subsequently, the flow was doubled every 30 s, and the number of cells remaining in the field was counted at the end of each time point. Data were normalized to the number of cells present in the field before starting the flow.

Climate is an important factor that modify fungal development and leads to variable levels of mycotoxins [11 (link)]. In temperate regions, colonization of maize by Fusarium species and consequent contamination with fumonisins are expected [11 (link)]. In this way, and following our previous studies [6 (link),7 (link)], the mycological analyses were focused on Fusarium spp. detection and identification. The preparation of samples was performed as described by Carbas and co-workers [6 (link)]. Briefly, 50 grains per sample were surface disinfected and plated aseptically on Malachite Green Agar 2.5 [37 (link)] at the rate of five grains per 90 mm Petri-dish: one in the centre and one in each quadrant. Plates were incubated at 25 °C for 12 h under near UV light and 12 h darkness [38 (link)]. After 7 days, the quantification of maize grains contaminated with Fusarium was performed, and the Fusarium specimens were isolated by the single spore technique [5 ] onto Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA), BD Difco™, (Fisher Scientific, Porto Salvo, Portugal) and incubated for 7 days. Fungal culture from each diseased grain represents an independent isolate. The isolates were grouped by morphotypes, picked to Carnation Leaf-piece Agar (CLA) and Spezieller Nährstoffarmer Agar (SNA) media, and after 10 days of incubation, were identified until species level by macro and microscopic (100× and 400×) morphology, following Leslie and Summerell (2006) [5 ].
