Animals were euthanized with anesthetic overdose. Achilles tendons were isolated from surrounding tissue and dissected from both sides of hind limbs. The proximal ends of the Achilles tendons were disconnected at the end of the gastrocnemius, plantaris, and soleus, and the distal ends at the calcaneus. Left leg tendons of eight control rats and six burn rats for each time point (1, 3, 7, and 14 days) were stored in RNAlater (Qiagen), whereas right leg tendons were snap frozen for protein extraction. Samples were stored in −80°C for further analysis. Tendon RNA was obtained with RNAeasy Universal kit (Qiagen). cDNA conversion was done with iScript kit (Bio-Rad), and qPCR with SsoFast Eva Green kit (Bio-Rad). Primers for IL-6, TNF, IL-1β, col1a1, col3a1, MMP9, MMP13, and TGFβ1 were purchased from QuantiTect Primers (Qiagen). Gene expression was calculated using the ΔΔCt method with 18 s as housekeeping.
For protein extraction, tendon tissue was homogenized in RIPA buffer (Invitrogen) with proteinase inhibitor cocktail (Sigma). Protein quantification was performed with BCA assay (Pierce); 10 μg of total protein was used for Western blot. Antibodies included anti-collagen I (Abcam), anti-collagen III (Abcam), goat anti-mouse HRP (Pierce), and goat anti-rabbit HRP (Pierce), which were prepared in 2% BSA.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
