The prefrontal cortices of mice were analyzed via immunofluorescent assays. Coronal sections (5-μm thickness) were prepared and immersed in 4% PFA for 30 min, followed by three washes in TBST. After blocking non-specific binding via 1.5% BSA for 1 h, sections were then incubated with corresponding primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C, as follows: GFAP (1:50; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China) and P-ERK1/2 (1:100; Beyotime, Shanghai, China); GFAP and GLUT3 (1:100; Santa Cruz, Dallas, Texas, USA); NeuN (1:50; Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China); P-ERK1/2; and GFAP and T-ERK1/2 (1:100; Santa Cruz, Dallas, Texas, USA). After washing three times with TBST, the secondary antibody mix with FITC-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:200; Bioss, Beijing, China) and Cy3-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:200; Bioss, Beijing, China) was added to cover the tissue and was incubated at room temperature for 1 h in the dark. Sections were then incubated with DAPI at room temperature for 5 min. Fluorescent images were obtained, and image analysis was applied to quantify immunoreactive signals.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were decapitated, after 6h of fasting, and their brains were quickly removed and submerged in ice-cold artificial cerebrospinal fluid. Subsequently, about 350 mg of brain tissue was homogenized in Buffer A (Hepes pH 7.9 10 mM, KCl 10 mM, EDTA 0.1 mM, EGTA 0.1 mM, DTT 1mM, PMSF 0.5 mM). Nuclear and cytoplasmic extracts were prepared as previously described [52] (link). For western blot analysis, cytoplasmic proteins (50 μg) were resolved on 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose membrane (0.2 μm Bio-rad cat.1620112). Membranes were first immersed for 2 h in blocking solution (5% non-fat dry milk), then probed with antibodies raised against GLUT-1 (Novus Bio, Centennials, CO) and GLUT-3 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA). After overnight incubation at 4°C, goatanti rabbit IgG horseradish (Dako) and anti-mouse IgG horseradish (Dako) conjugates were added for 1 h at room temperature, and immune complexes were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL, Amersham). Western blots were normalized to beta-actin (GLUT-1) or tubulin (GLUT-3), as loading control proteins, and densitometric analysis was performed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland, USA).

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.
