Indirect immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the expression of collagen I and collagen III in the paraffin sections of LAA tissues. Tissue sections were blocked with normal bovine serum albumin (Zhongshan Goldenbridge Biotechnology, China) for 30 min, and then, the sections were incubated with polyclonal rabbit anti-human collagen I antibody (1 : 50, ab34710, Abcam) or monoclonal mouse anti-human collagen III antibody (1 : 200, ab6310, Abcam) overnight at 4°C. After washing with PBS solution with 0.1% polysorbate, the sections were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibodies at 37°C for 1 h. Fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1 : 100, Zhongshan Goldenbridge Biotechnology) was used as the secondary antibody for collagen I, and fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1 : 100, Zhongshan Goldenbridge Biotechnology) was used as the secondary antibody for collagen III. Finally, the sections were washed with PBS solution thrice and counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (1 : 100) for 1 h at room temperature. Negative controls were conducted without incubation with primary antibodies.

Staining was performed on 2-μm-thick paraffin kidney sections that were pretreated with a heat-based antigen retrieval approach. The primary antibodies used were Col3a (Abcam, #ab-6310), LOX (Abcam, #ab-60178), α-SMA (a specific marker of myofibroblasts) (Abcam, #ab-7817), Pan Cytokeratin (a specific marker of epithelial cell) (Abcam, #ab-7753) and CTR1 (Abcam, #ab-129067). The sections were incubated with the primary antibodies at 4 °C for 1–2 nights, followed by incubation with biotin-labeled secondary antibodies and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled tertiary antibodies (DAKO). The sections were developed using a 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) kit (Vector, #SK4100), counterstained with hematoxylin, dehydrated, and examined under a light microscope. For colocalization immunofluorescence staining, the slides were incubated with Alexa Fluor conjugated secondary antibody (Invitrogen, #Alexa Fluor 568-A11011, Alexa Fluor 488- A11029) for 2 h at room temperature. Zeiss confocal microscope was used to observe the labeled slides.

Sections of 5 μm thickness were de-waxed, re-hydrated, and incubated in DIVA antigen retrieval solution (Biocare Medical) at 60°C ON (n = 6 for all groups). Following blocking of unspecific binding using 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA), the sections were incubated at 4°C ON with primary antibodies for anti-periostin (rabbit polyclonal, ab14041, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) and anti-collagen III (mouse monoclonal, ab6310, Abcam) at 1:500 dilutions. The sections were then incubated with Alexa-conjugated secondary antibodies at a 1:200 dilution for 2 h at room temperature (Alexa-488 anti-mouse, ab150113, and Alexa-555 anti-rabbit, ab150074, Abcam). Controls did not use the primary antibody in the protocol. The comparison of antibody staining for periostin contrasted the buccal (injured and /or regenerated bone defect area) versus the lingual (uninjured, non-surgically-treated bone). 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) was additionally used to visualize cell nuclei (Prolong Gold Antifade Reagent with DAPI, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA).

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.
