To anesthetize rats, pentobarbital (100 mg/kg, i.p.) was administered. Fully anesthetized rats were perfused transcardially with PBS, followed by ice-cold 4% paraformaldehyde/PBS. The L4 segments of the spinal cord were removed, postfixed in the same fixative for 3 h at 4 °C, placed in 30% sucrose solution for 24–48 h at 4 °C, embedded by Tissue-Tek O.C.T. Compound (Sakura Finetek Japan, Tokyo, Japan) and stored at −80 °C before use. The L4 spinal cord transverse sections (30 μm) were made and were immunostained by the free-floating method as described previously [9 (link),32 (link)]. The sections were incubated in blocking solution for 2 h and followed by the primary antibodies: polyclonal goat anti-paired box 2 (PAX2; 1:500; AF3364, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and isolectin B4 (IB4) biotin-conjugate (1:1000; I21414, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 48 h at 4 °C.

Oxidative nucleic acid damage was assessed by 8-OHdG immunofluorescence in the aorta sections. After deparaffinization and hydration, sections were heat treated (1 mmol/l EDTA, pH 8.0) for 15 min in a microwave. Primary 8-hydroxyguanosine antibody incubation (8-OHG, 1:200, Ab10802; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) was performed overnight at 4°C, followed by rinsing in TBS+ 0.05% Tween20, and incubation with secondary antibody (Alexa-fluor-488-conjugated, 1:300, A-11055; Molecular Probes, Eugene, Oregon, USA). Lipofuscin-mediated autofluorescence was removed by using 0.1% Sudan Black B (Sigma, St Louis, Missouri, USA). Slides were mounted using ProLong Gold Anti-fade mounting media containing DAPI (Molecular Probes) for nuclei staining. All sections were analysed in Live Cell Microscope (Zeiss, Cambridge, UK), using fluorescent filters (Alexa-fluor-488 and DAPI), and obtained images for each fluorescent filter. 8-OHG analysis was performed by measuring the intensity of immunofluorescence in Alexa-fluor-488 [CTTF = Integrated Density – (Area of selected tissue X Mean fluorescence of background readings].

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.
