At 24 hours after surgery, anesthetized animals were transcardially perfused with PBS followed by 4% paraformaldehyde. The brains were removed, fixed with formalin (for 3 days), and dehydrated with 30% sucrose solution (for 3 days). Brain specimens were then flash frozen and cut into 10 μm slices using a cryostat (CM3050S, Leica Biosystems, Inc., IL, USA). All brain slices between 1 mm anterior and posterior from the center of the hemorrhage were washed with PBS and then incubated with blocking solution (10% normal goat serum in 0.1 M PBS). The slides were incubated with the following primary antibodies: anti-α7nAChR and anti-Iba1 (Abcam, MA, USA), as well as anti-MPO (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, TX, USA), and DAPI (Vector Laboratories, Inc., CA, USA). After washing the slides in PBS, the appropriate secondary antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, TX, USA) were applied for 2 hours at room temperature. Stained slices were evaluated using an OLYMPUS BX51 microscope.

Hippocampi were separated, homogenized with ice-cold RIPA buffer containing 1% PMSF, and centrifuged at 12,000 g for 10 min at 4°C. The supernatant was collected and the protein concentration was measured using a BCA kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Protein samples (30 μg each) were isolated by 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, United States ). After blocking with 5% nonfat milk in Tris-buffered saline containing Tween 20 (TBST) at room temperature for 1 h, membranes were incubated with anti-α7nAChR (1:500, Abcam, Cat.10096, United States), anti-GLT-1 (1:1,000, Invitrogen, Cat.701,988, United States), and anti-SYP (1:1,000, Servicebio, Cat.11553, China) antibodies overnight at 4°C. The membranes were washed three times with TBST and were then subsequently incubated with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies in TBST at room temperature for 1 h. The membrane was dyed with ECL reagent and developed using autoradiography film. Protein-band intensities were quantified using Quantity One software (Bio-Rad).

Tissues were homogenized using lysis buffer (Beyotime, China), and supernatants were collected after centrifugation at 12,000 × g for 15 min at 4°C. After quantitative analysis of protein concentration, total proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore, Billerica, Mass), blocked with 5% non-fat milk in Tris-buffered saline for 1 h at 37°C, and then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies. After incubation for 1 h at 37°C with secondary antibody (1:2,000; Beyotime), bands were seen using the enhanced chemilumine-scence kit (Beyotime) according to the manufacturer's protocol. The primary antibodies used were as follows: antineuregulin-1 (1:500, sc-28916, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc, Dallas, Tex), anti-γ-nAChR (1:500, sc-13998, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc, Dallas, Tex), anti-α7-nAChR (1:1,000, ab10096, Abcam, Ltd, Cambridge, Mass), anti-LC3II (1:500, 4108, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Mass), anti-p62 (1:500, 5114, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, Mass), anti-GAPDH (1:1,000, AF1186, Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Jiangsu Province, China). All results were normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) levels.

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.
