After 24-h treatments, EpiDerm-FT™ cultures were fixed in 10% formalin and later preserved by paraffin embedding. Sections (5 µm) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for evaluation of tissue morphology. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed using anti-aquaporin-3 (AbCam; Cambridge, UK) and anti-keratin-10 (EMD Millipore; Billerica, MA). Secondary antibodies used were anti-rabbit-Alexa Fluor-488 and anti-mouse-Alexa Fluor-594 (Jackson Immuno Research Labs; West Grove, PA). Antibody specificity was confirmed by staining tissues with secondary antibodies only. Stained sections were viewed using an Olympus BX-41 microscope (Center Valley, PA) equipped with CCD camera (Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.; Shizuoka Pref., Japan) and using MetaMorph® software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA).

Cells were seeded on 96-well plates and treated with nano-siRNA complexes, fixed with 4% PFA for 20 min at room temperature, and permeabilized for 10 min using 0.1% Triton X-100 solution. Blocking was performed to suppress non-specific antibody binding by incubation with 10% donkey serum (Abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab7475) for 2 h. Subsequently, the cells were incubated with the primary antibodies against THY1 (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA, SC-9163), CDH1 (1:200; Proteintech, Chicago, IL, USA, 20874-1-AP), PLZF (1:100; Invitrogen, USA, PA5-29213), Lin28 (1:200; Abcam, Cambridge, UK, ab46020), or SOX9 (1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA, SC-166505) at 4 °C overnight. Afterwards, samples were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibody anti-mouse-Alexa Fluor 594 (1:200; Jackson Immunoresearch, 715-585-151), anti-rabbit-Alexa Fluor 488 (1:300; Jackson Immunoresearch, 711-545-152), or anti-rabbit-Alexa Fluor 594 (1:300; Jackson Immunoresearch, 711-585-152) at room temperature for 1 h and counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (Beyotime Institute of Bio-technology, C1022). Negative controls were incubated with 10% donkey serum without the primary antibody. Finally, fluorescent images were acquired with an Olympus IX71 (Tokyo, Japan) inverted fluorescence microscope camera.

After culturing in the O2 variant chip, we harvested cells, rinsed them three times with PBS, and fixed them with 4% paraformaldehyde (CellNest, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea) for 30 min at RT. We permeabilized the samples with 0.3% Tween 20 (Sigma-Aldrich) in PBS for 1 hour at RT and then blocked them with 0.3% Tween 20 and 3% bovine serum albumin (Millipore, MA, USA) for 1 hour at RT. We treated the samples with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C for analysis of stemness [rabbit anti-SOX2 (1:100; Novus, CO) and mouse anti-OCT4 (1:100; Novus)], proliferation [rabbit anti-ERK (1:100; Cell Signaling Technology, MA) and rabbit anti-AKT (1:100; Cell Signaling Technology)], chondrogenesis [rabbit anti-aggrecan (1:100; Abcam) and mouse anti-Col2a1 (1:100; Millipore)], and osteogenesis [mouse anti-RUNX2 (1:100; Abcam) and mouse anti-COL1 (1:100; Millipore)]. We then washed the samples and treated them with secondary antibodies in PBS for 2 hours at RT. The secondary antibodies used included anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488, anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 594, anti-rabbit conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488, and anti-rabbit conjugated to Alexa Fluor 594 (the Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME, USA). We counterstained the nuclei with Hoechst 33342 (1:200), followed by confocal imaging (LSM980).

Preparations were similarly dissected for immunohistochemistry. They were stretched to a maximum length (nicardipine [3 μM] was added to the Krebs solution to facilitate maximal stretching), then fixed in Zamboni's fixative (4 °C for 48 h), cleared using dimethylsulfoxide (3 times for 10 min), then washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS, 3 times for 10 min). Specimens were incubated in primary antibodies: goat antineuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS, 1 : 500, NB100‐858; Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA), mouse anti‐Hu (1 : 500, A21271; Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) for 48 h, rinsed in PBS and incubated in secondary antibodies: DyLight 405 donkey antigoat and antimouse Alexa Fluor 594 (1 : 200; Jackson Immunoresearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA, USA) for 4 h. Tissues were viewed on an IX71 Olympus microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) or an Eclipse Ti confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).
Images of four randomly selected ganglia, showing myenteric neurons immunoreactive (IR) for Hu and nNOS, were captured by confocal microscopy at 20× magnification. The number of neurons within each image was counted to calculate the total number of neurons/mm2. The soma‐dendritic area (μm2) of nNOS‐IR neurons was measured by tracing neuronal profiles, using Image J software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA). The average size of neurons was calculated from 10 cells per image.

DAPI was used for nuclear counterstaining. The samples were observed under a fluorescence microscope (Leica, Mannheim, Germany). Positive cells were counted blindly in 10 high power field (HPF)/section (×200).
Tumor xenograft experiment HGC-27 cells stably expressing empty vector or pcDNA-MT1JP were selected by G418 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). The indicated cells (100µl, 2×10 6 ) were inoculated subcutaneously into the dorsal right flank of each nude mouse (6 mice per group). Tumor volumes were calculated as 0.5×length×width 2 every 3 days. After 4 weeks, mice were sacrificed, and tumors were excised, weighed and immediately frozen at -80°C for future use.

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.
