Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was done in automated system using the Dako Autostainer Link. Formalin fixed, paraffin sections were cut at 4 μm and rehydrated to water. Heat induced epitope retrieval was performed with FLEX TRS High pH Retrieval buffer for 20 min. After peroxidase blocking, the specific monoclonal antibodies were applied at room temperature for 20 min. The FLEX + Rabbit EnVision System was used for detection. DAB chromogen was then applied for 10 min. Slides were counterstained with Mayers hematoxylin for 5 s and then dehydrated and coverslipped. Slides were scanned on a Pannoramic 250 digital scanner (3D HISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary) and images scored using the software program ‘Case viewer’ (3D HISTECH Ltd., Budapest, Hungary). Negative controls were included in each staining run.

Transwell Assay for Cell Migration

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
As C4-2B4 monolayers were easily detached with physical manipulation, these cells were not suitable for the examination of migration using scratch assays. A Transwell method was therefore adopted to test the migration of C4-2B4 cells. C4-2B4 cells were seeded at 2 × 105 cells per well in 200 μL serum-free medium containing 1 μM 5-BDBD, 1.5 μM PSB-12062, or vehicle on top of the Transwell® cell culture inserts (6.5 mm with an 8-μm pore polycarbonate filter, Corning, New York, NY, USA), while 500 μL of 10% FBS DMEM was added to the lower chamber as the chemoattractant. After 16 h of incubation, the inserts were fixed in 100% ethanol for 5 min, stained in eosin for 1 min and haematoxylin for 5 min, air-dried and mounted on slides in Faramount. Finally, the slides were scanned using the Pannoramic 250 Digital Scanner (3D HISTECH, Budapest, Hungary), and the percentage areas covered by migrated cells were measured by using ImageJ software.

30 μm thick sagittal free-floating sections were incubated with anti-Iba1 (1:500, cat#019-19741, Wako, Richmond, VA, USA), 6E10 (1:1000, cat#9320-500, Covance, Princeton, NJ, USA), or C1q (1:1000, cat#ab182451, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) antibodies. Sections probed with Iba1 and 6E10 antibodies were incubated with anti-rabbit Alexa 488 (1:400, cat#A-11008, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Grand Island, NY, USA) and anti-mouse Alexa 594 (1:400, cat#A-11005, Thermo Fisher Scientific) secondary antibodies. Sections probed with C1q were incubated with biotinylated anti-mouse antibody (1:1000, BA-9200, Vector laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and developed with Vectastain ABC Kit (PK-4000, Vector Laboratories). (see suppl. methods for details). Images were acquired using an Olympus BX61 microscope or a Pannoramic 250 digital scanner (3DHISTECH, Budapest, Hungary).
For measuring percentage of 6E10 immunoreactive areas, 6E10-immunolabeled sections were thresholded and the percentage of 6E10 positive area was calculated using Fiji (v2.0.0) and the “measure” function. For measuring microglial number, Iba1 positive cells in the region of interest (ROI) were manually counted and number was normalized to the area of the ROI. ROI (prefrontal cortex, hippocampus) were determined and outlined by manual tracing.

Transwell® cell culture inserts (6.5 mm with an 8-μm pore polycarbonate filter, Corning) were first coated with 0.5 μg/mL Matrigel (Corning) in serum-free medium at 37 °C for 2 h. 5 × 104 PC3 or C4-2B4 cells were then seeded into the top chamber with 200 μL serum-free medium containing antagonists (1.0 μM 5-BDBD or 1.5 μM PSB-12062) or vehicles, and were treated with 5 μg/mL Mitomycin C for 3 h. 500 μL of 10% FBS DMEM was added to the lower chamber as the chemoattractant. After 72 h of incubation, the inserts were fixated in 100% ethanol for 5 min, stained in eosin for 1 min and haematoxylin for 5 min, and then mounted on a slide. The slides were scanned using the Pannoramic 250 Digital Scanner (3D HISTECH) at a 1.2× magnification. The percentage areas covered by invaded cells were analysed by using ImageJ software.

After fixing with 4% paraformaldehyde, tumor, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and brain fragments were embedded with paraffin and sectioned. H&E staining was then conducted according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Servicebio, Wuhan, China). Moreover, immunohistochemistry staining for caspase-3 and Ki-67 was performed on tumor sections to determine apoptosis and proliferation of tumor cells, respectively. Images were acquired using an Eclipse Ci microscope (Nikon Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) or a Pannoramic 250 digital scanner (3DHistech, Budapest, Hungary).

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.
