Comprehensive Wound Healing Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The wounds and a 5 mm unwounded skin border were harvested from mice and processed for histological analysis. Wound widths were measured as the distance between wound margins. Wound areas were determined using image analysis (measured below the clot and above the panniculus muscle). Re-epithelialization was defined as the percentage of distance migrated by the neoepidermis compared to the upper wound width. Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded 5-μm sections. The primary antibodies used in this study were against keratin 14 (K14, 1:1000, Covance, Princeton, NJ, USA), Ki67 (1:1000, Covance) and CD206 (1:500, Novus Biologicals, CO, USA). To quantify CD206 expression, ImageJ 1.50d (USA) was used to analyze the integrated optical density.

Microglial Cell Immunocytochemistry on Chip

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Microglial cells on the microfluidic chip were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Gibco-BRL, Gaithersburg, MD, USA) for 15 min at room temperature (RT). Blocking was performed using 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA; Millipore, MN, USA) in PBS (1% w/v) for approximately 2 h at RT. Subsequently, the cells were incubated with CD11b (Millipore, MN, USA) and CD206 (Novus biologicals, CO, USA) primary antibodies for 2 h at 37 °C at a dilution ratio of 1:100 and washed with PBS containing 1% BSA. Thereafter, the cells were incubated with Alexa 555 secondary antibody (1:200; Invitorgen, Waltham, MA, USA) for 2 h at 37 °C.
Human NP cells were treated with recombinant IL-1β for 48 h and fixed and blocked with proprietary reagents. Anti-NF-κB p65 mouse monoclonal antibody (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA) was used to detect NF-κB p65 protein. Goat anti-mouse Alexa 555 secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) and 5% BSA were used for secondary incubation in PBS for 1 h at room temperature. After staining with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) for 10 min, fluorescence images were acquired using a confocal microscope (Zeiss, LSM 900).

Comprehensive Tissue Characterization via Histology and SEM

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues samples were sectioned with 5-μm thicknesses and stained with H&E, SR, and immunostaining for alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA, ACTA2) (1:100, Sigma-Aldrich St. Louis, MO) and collagen, Type 1, alpha 1 (COL1A1) (1:200, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Pxdn (provided by Dr Gutam, 1:200), and CD11b (1:100, Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO), CD206 (1:100, Novus Biologicals) according to standard protocols, as reported previously.70 (link) For tissue analysis using the SEM, formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded sections were incubated in osmium tetroxide (0.5%; Electron Microscopy Sciences, 19152) before serial dehydration in ethanol. Samples were then dried using a critical point drier and imaged using field emission SEM (Hitachi S-4700).

THP–1 cells were plated on glass coverslips, polarized to TAMs, and given drug treatments as described above. Upon treatment, the coverslips were washed with 1X PBS, and cells were fixed in 4% PFA for 20 minutes at RT. The cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 15 minutes at RT and blocked with IF buffer (1.3M NaCl, 70mM Na2HPO4, 35mM NaH2PO4, 77mM NaN3, 1% BSA, 2% Triton X-100 and 5% Tween-20) containing 10% goat serum for 1 hour. Cells were washed with PBS and incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibody solution: Antibody in IF buffer containing 3% Saponin (Fisher Scientific, Cat. No. 55–825-5100GM). Antibodies used were as follows: TNFα (ThermoFisher, Cat. No. MA523720), NOS2 (ThermoFisher, Cat. No. PA1–036), CD163 (Abcam, Waltham, MA, Cat. No. ab182422), CD206 (Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO, Cat. No. NPB1–90020), IL10 (R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN, Cat. No. MAB9184–100) and Dectin 1 (ThermoFisher, Cat. No. PA583996). Cells were then washed with PBS twice and incubated with secondary antibody solution (1:200 dil) for 2 hours followed by DAPI stain for 15 minutes at RT. Coverslips were then mounted onto slides as described above. Fluorescence images were captured using Olympus DP80 microscope and analyzed using ImageJ software.

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.
