Nucleus pulposus tissues were fixed with a 4% paraformaldehyde solution, followed by deparaffinization of paraffin sections. Antigen was repaired under high pressure and at high temperature conditions. The tissues were sealed with normal goat serum. Rabbit polyclonal antibody-TSLP antibody (1:500, ab47943, Abcam Inc., Cambridge, MA) was added and fully mixed with 10 μL of biotin goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (BA1003, 1:200, BOSTER Biological Technology Co., Ltd., Hubei, China).
Following this, the mixture was used to process the sections over a period of 30 minutes, and then underwent 4 °C overnight inoculation. For developing color diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogenic (Beijing Cellchip Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Beijing, China) was used. In regards to mouse IgG as blank control, sections were observed under an optical microscope. The cytoplasm was stained using TSLP. Yellow-like particles were regarded as TSLP-positive. From each section, 5 high-power fields (×400) were chosen, and 100 cells were counted in each field. The percentage of TSLP-positive cells/total cells >10% was regarded as positive, while <10% was negative.[17 (link)] Two individuals independently estimated the immunohistochemistry results using the double blind method.

Protein samples of the cells were extracted by lysing the cells with radio immunoprecipitation assay lysis buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). The protein samples were quantified using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime) and the same amount of samples were loaded for sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Protein bands on the gel were transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane and blocked in 5% skim milk for 2 h at room temperature and then the blot was incubated in the specific primary antibodies for TSLP (ab47943), skeletal muscle actin (α-SMA, ab5694), collagen I (ab6308), MAPK7 (ab40809), extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1, ab180163), phospho-ERK1 (p-ERK1, ab24157), p38 (ab7952), p-p38 (ab178867), c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1 (JNK1, ab199380), and p-JNK1 (ab47337), purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, UK), overnight at 4°C. β-actin (ab189073) was used as an endogenous reference. After washing, the blot was incubated in horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Positive signals were developed using the ECL Plus Western Blotting Substrate (Thermo Scientific). Band densities for each sample were analyzed using ImageJ 1.49 software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Cells were lysed in lysis buffer (PBS containing 1% NP-40, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS) supplemented with Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Roche, Indianapolis, IN) and Phosphatase Inhibitor I and II Cocktails (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA). Protein concentration was determined by the DC Protein Assay (5000111, Biorad, Hercules, CA) and equal protein was loaded onto 4–20% tris-glycine gels, separated by SDS-PAGE, and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin before being probed with the following antibodies overnight at 4° C: thymic stromal lymphoprotein (TSLP, 1:1000, ab47943, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2, 1:1000, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA), cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1, 1:1000, sc-393979, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), ADAM33 (1:1000, ab137772, Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), PARP (1:1000, Cell Signaling), or α-tubulin (1:5000, Sigma-Aldrich).

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.
