The hippocampal tissue was grid and centrifuged in a pre-chilled tissue lysate at 12,000 rpm for 30 min. The supernatant of total protein was extracted for SDS-PAGE and the protein was semi-dried for membrane transfer. The cells were blocked 2 h and incubated overnight at 4°C with TLR4 (ab22048, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), Myd88 (ab2068, Abcam, USA), NF-κB antibody (ab32360, Abcam, USA), followed three washes and incubation with secondary antibody for 1 h. After four washes using TBST, cells were developed with ECL Western Blotting Substrate kit (32109, Pierce™, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and gray value was measured by using Quantity One software.

Formalin-fixed paraffin sections were deparaffinized in xylene and rehydrated through an ethanol series. The sections were then immersed in 0.3% hydrogen peroxidase for 15 min to deplete endogenous peroxidase and exposed to high pressure to activate their antigenicity. Sections were then incubated with blocking solution (PBS, 3% of BSA, 0.1% Triton-X 100) at room temperature for 30 minutes. The primary antibody of TLR4 (1:20, ab22048; Abcam), MD2 (ab24182; Abcam), Myd88 (ab2068; Abcam), NF-κB (ab7970; Abcam), IL-6 (ab6672; Abcam), TGF-β (ab66043; Abcam), VEGF (ab1316; Abcam), EGF (ab115562; Abcam), and MMP2 (ab86607; Abcam) were added and incubated at 4 °C overnight. Sections were washed with PBS, incubated with FITC–conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody at room temperature for 1 hour (1:400), and washed three times with PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes. Images were obtained with a fluorescence microscope (OLYMPUS DP70; Olympus Co., Tokyo, Japan).

Protein Extraction and Western Blot Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein extraction kit (P0013B, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was applied to extract the proteins of RECs and then a BCA protein determination kit (P0012, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) was used to measure protein concentration. Proteins’ fractions were then separated on SDS-PAGE electrophoresis gels and transferred to PVDF membranes (IPVH00010, Millipore, Boston, MA, USA), which were blocked by using 5% skim milk powder for 2 h. Membranes were blocked, then incubated at 4 °C overnight with multiple primary antibodies, including TLR4, MyD88, P-NF-κB p65 (ab22048, ab2068, ab86299, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), NF-κB p65 (AF5006, Affinity Biosciences, Jiangsu, China), P-IκBα, IκBα, P-JNK, JNK, P-ERK, ERK, P-p38 MAPK, p38 MAPK (9246, 4814, 9251, 9252, 4370, 4695, 4511, 8690, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), and β-actin (c-47778, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), respectively. After that, secondary antibodies were incubated on the membranes for 45 min, which were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) system (5600, Tanon, Shanghai, China) and analyzed using the ImageJ software (Media Cybernetics, Bethesda, MD, 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.
