The tissue sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated using standard techniques. The sections were incubated with 3% H2O2 for 10 min at room temperature (RT). They were then washed with 1X TBST buffer for 10 min at RT. Primary antibodies were diluted in 2.5% normal horse serum (Vector Laboratory, Bulingame, CA, USA). The primary antibodies were AGE (TransGenic, Kyoto, Japan), the receptor for AGE (RAGE, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1, Abcam, Boston, MA, USA), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG, Abcam, Boston, MA, USA), and aquaporin5 (AQP5, Bioworld Technology, St. Louis Park, MN, USA). Sections were visualized with the VECTASTAIN Elite ABC Universal Kit (Vector Laboratory, Bulingame, CA, USA). The staining was observed using a BX51 light microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Ten unique fields of view were randomly selected in each slice at 100× magnification. Image-Pro software (Media Cybernetics, Rockville, MD, USA) was used for semi-quantitative analysis of the intensity of the immunohistochemical positive signal. The average optical density per unit area (mm2) was calculated for the relative amount of protein.

The paraffin-embedded blocks were sectioned for immunohistochemistry analysis. Sections were treated with 20 mg/L proteinase K (dilution: 1∶1000; Sigma-Aldrich, USA) at 37°C for 30 min for antigen retrieval. After blocking the endogenous peroxidase activity with 0.3% hydrogen peroxidase for 15 min, the sections were treated with 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG; 1∶8000; Abcam, USA) or NF-κB (Cell Signaling Technology, 1∶100) primary antibody at 4°C overnight. The slides were incubated in biotinylated secondary IgG antibodies at 37°C for 30 min, and then visualized using DAB for 2–5 min. Mayer’s hematoxylin was used to counterstain the sections, which were then dehydrated and mounted. For negative control, PBS was used in place of primary antibodies. The cells with positive staining were determined by counting the percentage of stained cells using the Image Pro Plus 7.0 analyzer. A minimum of 1,000 cells were counted for each tumor specimen.

Pancreatic tissue was fixed in 10% formalin overnight and then embedded in paraffin. Ten 4‐μm sections were cut from each tissue block (n = 5 for each group). For immunohistochemistry, the tissue sections were blocked with peroxidase blocking agent for 5 min and washed with TBST, then blocked with protein blocking serum‐free buffer (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA) for 5 min. Sections were incubated in primary antibodies against insulin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), glucagon (Bioworld, St. Louis Park, MN), NOX‐4 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), or 8‐hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8‐OHdG; Abcam) for 2 h at room temperature. After washing with TBST, samples were then incubated in secondary antibodies (DAKO) at room temperature for 30 min, then the chromogen was added. All sections were H&E stained and observed at 200× magnification with a light microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Islet areas and entire section areas were measured using iSolution DT 36 software (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) (Ka et al. 2015).

Immunofluorescence staining was performed as we described in detail before [17 (link)]. In brief, the sections were first fixed by 0.1% Triton X-100 and then were blocked by 5% BSA for 2 h. After three washes with PBS, brain tissues or cultured neurons were incubated with primary antibodies against Iba-1 (1: 50, Santa Cruz Biotechnology or 1 : 100, Abcam), myeloperoxidase (MPO, 1 : 50, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) (1 : 100, Abcam), Nrf2 (1 : 100, Abcam), caspase-1 p20 (1 : 50, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), and NeuN (1 : 200, EMD Millipore).

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.
