Immunohistochemical Analysis of PPARα in Liver

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver tissues were fixed in buffered 4% formalin for 48 h and then embedded in paraffin. Sections were deparaffinized and hydrated. Heat-mediated antigen retrieval was performed with 10 mM citrate buffer pH 6.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Endogenous peroxide was inhibited by incubating with a freshly prepared 3% H2O2 solution in MeOH. Unspecific antigens were blocked by incubating sections for 1 h with 2.5% horse serum (Cat# VE-S-2000; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). To assess the PPARα expression, 5 μm liver sections were stained with rabbit anti-mouse PPARα (1:400; Cat# ab61182; Abcam), followed by a goat anti-rabbit or HRP conjugate (ImmPRESS; Vector Laboratories). Color was developed after incubation with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) substrate (Cat# SK-4105; Vector Laboratories; ImmPACT DAB Peroxidase (HRP) substrate), followed by hematoxylin counterstaining and mounting (Cat# Vecmount H-5000; Vector Laboratories). Stained sections were photographed as previously described. The positive area was quantified using ImageJ with a minimum of 5–6 random liver sections per mouse.

HepG2 cells were firstly cultured with GB1 or Wy14643 (HY-16995, MedChemExpress, Monmouth Junction, NJ, USA) in a petri dish (6 cm). Following PBS washing two times, the cells were lysed in lysis buffer to obtain total proteins. Equal amounts of protein were separated by electrophoresis and then transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA). The membrane was subsequently blocked with 5% skim milk, followed by incubation with anti-PPARα (ab61182, Abcam, Shanghai, China), anti-SIRT6 (A3591, ABclonal, Woburn, MA, USA), anti-BCL-2 (T40056, Abmart, Berkeley Heights, NJ, USA), anti-β-actin (RM3002, Beijing Ray antibody biotech, Beijing, China), and anti-BCL-XL (T55050, Abmart, Berkeley Heights, NJ, USA) antibodies. Relative expression of the proteins was normalized to actin protein. The total load of the protein was 60 µg/µL. The dilution ratio of primary antibody was 1:1000, and that of secondary antibody was 1:5000. The type of secondary antibody was Goat anti-Rabbit. Chemiluminescence signals were quantified using a chemiluminescence imaging system (BIO RAD, Hong Kong, China).

Here, 1 × 106 HepG2 cells were cultured in a 12-well plate, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min, and then blocked in PBS + 1% BSA for 1 h at room temperature. Following that, the cells were incubated with primary antibodies (ab61182, Abcam, Shanghai, China) at 4 °C overnight. On the next day, the cells were incubated with secondary fluorescent-conjugated IgG (FITC-IgG) (AS011, ABclonal, Woburn, MA, USA) at room temperature. The primary antibody dilution concentration was 1:200 and the secondary antibody dilution concentration was 1:200. After 1 h, the cells were washed with PBS for three times. DAPI was used to counterstain the nuclei. An inverted fluorescence microscope was employed to capture images. All experiments were repeated three times.

Western Blot Analysis of Liver Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Protein extraction was performed in liver for Western Blot analysis, as previously described [26 (link),27 (link)]. About 30 μg of proteins were loaded and specific antibodies were used to evaluate PPARα (ab61182), SREBP-1 (ab28481) (1:250 and 1:1000 dilution respectively; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), p-AMPK-α (2535), and β-actin (4970) (1:1000 dilution each; Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA) which was used as loading control. The images were obtained using specific software (C-DiGit Blot Scanner with Image Studio 4.0 software, LI-Cor, Lincoln, NE, USA), and densitometric data were expressed as integrated intensity, following evaluation of a region of interest (ROI) identical for all samples within the same blot.

Cardiac Protein Expression Analysis

Proteins were abstracted from the entire frozen cardiac tissues via RIPA lysis buffering solution with 1% protease suppressor mixture. The BCA approach was employed to compute the protein level. Equal amounts of proteins were separated by 10–15% SDS-PAGE. Samples were moved onto PVDF films, subjected to blockade via 5% dry skimmed milk, and incubated with primary antibodies including anti-ITGAM (Abcam, Ab133357, 1:1000), anti-VCAM1 (Abcam, Ab134047, 1:1000), anti-PPARA (Abcam, Ab61182, 1:1000), anti-IGF1 (Abcam, Ab9572, 1:1000), anti-IL-6 (Abcam, Ab259341, 1:1000), anti-GAPDH (Abcam, Ab181602, 1:2000), anti-phospho-Akt S473 (Cell Signaling Technology, 4060, 1:1000) and anti-Akt (Cell Signaling Technology, 4691, 1:1000) separately, at 4℃ nightlong. Posterior to the cleaning in TBST, the blots were cultivated with antirabbit or antimouse second antisubstances for 60 min under ambient temperature. Afterwards, the outcomes were identified via the ECL identification reagents. Proteins in Western blot were quantified via Image Lab software. All assays were completed in triplicate.

Cells and lung tissues were lysed in RIPA buffer, and protein concentration determined by BCA protein assay kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Denatured protein samples (20μg) were separated by 8% or 15% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto PVDF membranes. The membranes were blocked in 5% nonfat milk for 3 h at room temperature, and probed with specific primary antibodies (1:1000) against p65 (ab16502), p-p65 (ab76302), A20 (ab92324), NLRP3 (ab214185), pro-caspase-1 (ab179515), caspase-1 (ab179515), PPAR-α (ab61182), PPAR-γ (ab209350) and β-actin (ab8227) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) overnight at 4°C. Goat-derived anti-rabbit HRP conjugated antibody (1:2000) were used as secondary antibody for 1 h. Membranes were developed and analyzed using the Super Signal Chemiluminescent Substrate kit (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, USA) and ImageJ software.

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.
