For immunohistochemistry staining, heart cryosections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized and blocked with Protein Block Solution (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA) containing 0.1% saponin (Sigma, St Louis, MO), and then incubated with the following antibodies overnight at 4 °C: mouse anti-alpha sarcomeric actin (1:100, a7811, Sigma), rabbit anti-CD45 (1:100, ab10559, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), mouse anti-Actin, α-Smooth Muscle antibody (1:100, A5228, Sigma), rabbit anti-Ki67 (1:100, ab15580, Abcam), rabbit anti-CD3 (1:100, ab16669, Abcam) and mouse anti-CD8 alpha (1:100, mca48r, abd Serotec, Raleigh, NC ). FITC- or Texas-Red secondary antibodies (1:100) were obtained from Abcam Company and used for the conjunction with these primary antibodies. For assessment of cell apoptosis, heart cryosections were incubated with TUNEL solution (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) and counter-stained with DAPI (Life Technology, NY, USA). For assessment of angiogram, heart cryosections were incubated with Lectin (FL-1171, Vector laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). Images were taken by an Olympus epi-fluorescence microscopy system.

All animals were killed 8 days after treatment. Mouse hearts were harvested and frozen in Optimal Cutting Temperature (OCT) compound (Tissue-Tek, Torrance, CA, USA). Cryo-sections (5 μm thick) were prepared. Masson’s trichrome staining was performed as per manufacturer’s instructions [HT15 Trichrome Staining (Masson) Kit; Sigma-Aldrich]. Fibrosis area was measured by NIH Image J as previously described 23 (link). For immunofluorescence staining, mouse heart cryosections were fixed with 4% PFA, blocked/permeabilized with Protein Block Solution (DAKO) containing 1% saponin (Sigma-Aldrich), and then stained with anti-α-SA (Sigma-Aldrich) and anti-von Willebrand factor (Abcam) antibodies. FITC or Texas-Red secondary antibodies were obtained from Abcam and used in conjunction with these primary antibodies. Images were taken by a Zeiss (Jena, Germany) confocal microscopy system.

Histology:

For immunohistochemistry staining, heart cryosections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized and blocked with Protein Block Solution (DAKO, Carpinteria, Calif.) containing 0.1% saponin (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.), and then incubated with the following antibodies overnight at 4° C.: mouse anti-alpha sarcomeric actin (1:100, a7811, Sigma), rabbit anti-CD45 (1:100, ab10559, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), mouse anti-Actin, α-Smooth Muscle antibody (1:100, A5228, Sigma), rabbit anti-Ki67 (1:100, ab15580, Abcam), rabbit anti-CD3 (1:100, ab16669, Abcam) and mouse anti-CD8 alpha (1:100, mca48r, abd Serotec, Raleigh, N.C.). FITC- or Texas-Red secondary antibodies (1:100) were obtained from Abcam Company and used for the conjunction with these primary antibodies. For assessment of cell apoptosis, heart cryosections were incubated with TUNEL solution (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) and counter-stained with DAPI (Life Technology, NY, USA).

For immunohistochemistry staining, frozen cryosections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized, and blocked with protein block solution (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA) containing 0.1% saponin (Sigma-Aldrich), and then incubated with antibodies overnight at 4 °C. The following are the primary antibodies used in this study: rabbit anti-CD3 (ab16669, Abcam, Cambridge, U.K.), mouse anti-CD8 α (mca48r, abd Serotec, Raleigh, NC), mouse anti-CD68 (ab955, Abcam) and rabbit anti-vWF (ab6994, Abcam). FITC- or Texas Red secondary antibodies (Abcam) were used in conjunction with the above primary antibodies. TUNEL solution (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) was applied to cryosections to evaluate their level of cell apoptosis. Images were taken with an Olympus epifluorescence microscope.

Heart cryosections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde solution, permeabilized and blocked with 0.01% saponin (Sigma-Aldrich) Dako solution, and then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C: mouse anti–α-SA (1:100; a7811, Sigma), rabbit anti-Ki67 (1:100; ab15580, Abcam), rabbit anti–von Willebrand factor (1:100; ab6994, Abcam), rabbit anti- pH3 (1:100; ab5176, Abcam), rabbit anti–Aurora B (1:100; ab2254, Abcam). FITC- or Texas Red secondary antibodies (1:200) were obtained from Abcam Company and used with these primary antibodies for 1.5 hour at room temperature. Samples were then treated with DAPI (Life Technologies) and mounted in Prolong Gold Mounting Media (Life Technologies). For assessment of cell apoptosis, heart cryo-sections were incubated with TUNEL solution (Roche Diagnostics GmbH) and counter-stained with DAPI (Life Technologies). Images were taken with an epifluorescent microscope (Olympus IX81) and confocal fluorescent microscope (ZEISS LSM 880). Tissue morphology was characterized from the images using the NIH ImageJ software and ZEN lite 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.
