Mice were killed after the behavioral tests. Mice from each group were deeply anesthetized with chloral hydrate and perfused transcardially with ice-cold 0.9% saline, followed by 4% paraformaldehyde. The brains were dissected from the skulls, post-fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde over night, followed by 10%, 20% and 30% sucrose solutions, each for at least 16 hours. Brain tissue was embedded in Tissue Freezing Medium (Leica, Germany), frozen at −80°C and cut with a Leica microtome into 20-μm coronal sections. Frozen sections were used to observe the expression of MBP, KLC and NF200. Neuronal status in the hippocampus was determined by NeuN immunofluorescence. Sections were incubated over night at 4°C with primary antibodies: anti-MBP (anti-rat monoclonal; 1:200; Abcam), anti-KLC (anti-rabbit monoclonal; 1:50; Abcam), anti-NF200 (anti-rabbit polyclonal; 1:200; Sigma), anti-NeuN (anti-rabbit polyclone; 1:200; EMD millipore). Following the incubation with primary antibodies, sections were washed and incubated for 2 h at room temperature with secondary antibody: donkey Alexa Fluor 488 F(ab) anti-rat IgG, goat Alexa Fluor 488 F(ab) anti-rabbit IgG, or goat Alexa Fluor 592 F(ab) anti-rabbit IgG.

The lumbar spinal cord tissues were postfixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 12 hours, cryoprotected by immersion in 30% sucrose solution overnight at 4°C, and sectioned on a freezing microtome set at 30 μm. Following an initial background block using 10% normal donkey serum/PBS–Triton X-100 at room temperature for 2 hours, the sections were then incubated with polyclonal primary rabbit anti-DNMT3a antibody (1:50; EpiGentek) in a humidity chamber for 24 hours at 4°C. After several rinses in 1 M PBS, the slides were subsequently reacted with secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1:300; Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 2 hours at 37°C. For double immunolabeling, we used the following antibodies: mouse monoclonal antibody against neuron-specific nuclear protein (anti-NeuN; 1:500; EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:300; Thermo Fisher Scientific). After washing, the sections were mounted with Shandon PermaFluor (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and analyzed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). Specificity of staining was confirmed by omission of the primary antibody or the biotinylated secondary antibody in multiple sections. No positive staining was detected in any of these negative control experiments.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The collected organs were formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE) for routine histology. To assess the percentage of PNLs, the entire cerebellum was examined, recovering FFPE brain sections with intervals of 70 μm. At the recognition of abnormal cerebellar regions—in general, defined as PNLs—sections were collected and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). PNLs cross-sectional areas were carried out using imaging software NIS-Elements BR 4.00.05 (Nikon Instruments Europe B.V., Campi Bisenzio, Italy).
For immunohistochemistry, PNL-positive FFPE brain sections (4 μm) were dewaxed for 20 min at 56 °C and incubated in citrate buffer pH 6.0 for 20 min at 95 °C. After peroxidases inhibition by 3% H2O2 for 10 min, sections were incubated with primary antibodies anti-Ki67 (Bethyl, Montgomery, TX, USA), anti-NeuN (Merck Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany), and anti-caspase-3-activated (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature in a moist chamber. After incubation with the secondary anti-rabbit antibody (Bethyl), the antigen–antibody reaction was revealed by DAB (Dako, Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA) and analyzed by HistoQuest (TissueGnostics, Vienna, Austria) software.
