Immunostaining of the OE was performed on 12 μm coronal cryosections of paraformaldehyde-fixed tissue from adult C57BL6 mice on superfrost slides (Thermo Scientific, Menzel Gläser). After blocking with 1% fish gelatin in phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.1% Triton X-100, sections were incubated with primary antibody (anti-Paqr8 (Abcam): 1:100, anti-Pacr9 (Abcam): 1:50, anti-GPR30 (Abcam): 1:100, anti-Pgrmc1 (Sigma-Aldrich): 1:100) and fluorescently-labeled secondary antibody (Invitrogen, anti rabbit Alexa 456 nm, 1:100) dilutions in blocking solution. Stained sections were mounted in ProLong Antifade Gold medium (Molecular Probes). All fluorescence images were collected on a confocal laser scanning microscope (LSM510 Meta, Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). For the anti-Pgrmc1 antibody, the staining was performed on tissue sections following a heat-induced epitope antigen retrieval using citrate buffer (10 mM citric acid, 0.05% Tween 20, pH 6.0). Control experiments completed without addition of the primary antibody revealed a low level of background staining.

Samples were homogenized in RIPA buffer (Beyotime Biotechnology) with protease and phosphatase Inhibitor (Thermo Fisher). Western blot analyses were carried out in accordance with standard protocols, and membranes were incubated with anti-FGF2 (1:200, Proteintech), anti-GPR30 (1:100, Abcam), phospho-Mek (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), Mek (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), phospho-p44/42 MAPK (p-Erk1/2, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2, 1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), p-FGFR1 (1:500, Abcam), and GAPDH (1:5000, Proteintech). The membranes were incubated with HRP-conjugated antibodies goat anti-rabbit (1:10000, Abcam) or goat anti-mouse (1:10000, Abcam). They were imaged on the Image Quant LAS 4000 mini biomolecular imager (GE Healthcare Life Sciences) after being applied with EZ-ECL (Biological Industries). The relative protein levels were measured by Image J software (National Institutes of Health) and normalized over the expression of GAPDH.

GPR30 Immunofluorescence Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, washed with PBS, and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes. Samples were then blocked for 1 hour with 5% bovine serum albumin in PBS. Then, cells were incubated with rabbit anti-GPR30 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA) primary antibody for 1 hour at room temperature. Specific secondary antibodies conjugated with green fluorescent protein fluorochrome (Invitrogen) were subsequently incubated with cells for 1 hour at room temperature. After PBS washes, slides were mounted. Images were captured using an optical microscope (DP73, Olympus Corp.).

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.
