After sacrifice, mice lungs were perfused with 2% paraformaldehyde followed by paraffin embedding. Paraffin sections were stained with Masson trichrome to determine collagen deposition. Collected human lungs samples were perfused with 2% paraformaldehyde, followed by saturation in 30% sucrose for frozen sections or paraffin embedding. Antibodies against ATF3 (HPA001562, Sigma) were used to perform the immunohistochemistry studies in paraformaldehyde fixed paraffin embedded lung tissue. Immunofluorescence analyses were performed in paraformaldehyde‐fixed sucrose‐saturated frozen sections of lung tissue using antibodies against ATF3 (HPA001562, Sigma) and ABCA3 (WMAB‐ABCA‐17, Seven Hills).

Three separate human corneas, ages 27, 42, and 62, were used with postmortem delay of no more than 72 hours (Eversight Eye Bank, Chicago, IL, USA). Frozen sections (5 μm) of optimal cutting temperature compound-embedded human and mouse corneas were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, blocked in 10% goat serum in PBS and incubated overnight with the following primary antibodies: rabbit polyclonal antibodies against Kl67 (SP6- 1:500 dil; Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO, USA), PBK (16110–1-AP-1:100dil; Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA), TXNIP (40–3700- 1:100 dil; Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), H2AX (10856–1-AP- 1:50 dil; Proteintech), ATF3 (HPA001562–1:50 dil; Sigma-Aldrich Corp.) or a mouse monoclonal antibody against K15 (MA5–11244–1:100 dil; Thermo Scientific). Appropriate secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa-555 or Alexa-488 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) at 1:300 dilution were used to detect primary antibodies. DAPI (4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) was used to label nuclei, and mounted using Gelvatol. Images were acquired using a 20X 0.5 EC Plan-Neofluar objective on an epiflourescence microscope system (AxioVision Z1; Carl Zeiss, Thornwood, NY, USA) fitted with an Apotome slide module and a digital camera (AxioCam MRm).

Fresh tissues were fixed, embedded in paraffin, and serially sectioned. Antigen retrieval was conducted by autoclaving the samples at 121 °C for 15 min in the presence of citrate antigen retrieval solution. The samples were incubated with antibodies against ATF3 (1:600; HPA001562, Sigma) overnight at 4 °C followed with immunohistochemical staining kits (Zhongshan Golden Bridge). Control sections were run concurrently with the experimental sections using nonspecific rabbit IgG. Nonspecific staining was not detected in the controls. H-score was calculated with IHC-Profiler52 (link) and ImageJ software (imagej.nih.gov/ij) based on staining intensity and percentage of positive staining cells, and high positive staining scored 3, positive staining scored 2, low positive scored staining 1, and negative staining scored 0. In this study, we only calcite the staining score of the endometrium stromal cells.

After the endometrial samples were dewaxed, endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked using freshly prepared PBS containing 0.3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 min. Antigen retrieval was conducted by autoclaving the samples at 121 °C for 15 min in the presence of EDTA (pH = 9.0). The sections were washed with PBS and then incubated with antibodies against ATF3 (1:1000; HPA001562, Sigma) overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. The sections were subsequently rinsed with PBS and incubated with a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody at 37 °C for 30 min. HRP activity was detected using diaminobenzidine (Invitrogen), and the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Nonspecific rabbit serum (Boster, Wuhan, China) was used as a negative control.

Protein extracts were prepared from endometria or cells that were washed with ice-cold phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and lysed in whole cell lysis buffer (50 mM Tris–HCl [pH 7.6], 150 mM NaCl and 1.0% NP-40) containing a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails 2 and 3 (Sigma). Equal amounts of total protein (30 μg) were separated on 12% (w/v) SDS-polyacrylamide gel and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were blocked in Tris-buffered saline solution containing 5% nonfat milk for 1 h and then exposed to the following primary antibodies: ATF3 (1:1000; HPA001562, Sigma, 22 kD), LIF (1:500; L0669, Sigma; 38 kD), STAT3 (1:1000; #12640, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA, 86 kD), p-STAT3 (1:1000; #9145, Cell Signaling Technology, 90 ~ kD), His-Tag antibody (1:2000; M30111, Abmart, Shanghai, China), and GAPDH (1:10000; AP0063, Bioworld, Nanjing, China; 42 kD). Immunodetection was accomplished using goat anti-rabbit or donkey anti-mouse secondary antibodies and an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Millipore). The density of each band was scanned and measured by ImageJ software with target protein that had been normalized to GAPDH.

TMA tissue sections were deparaffinized, and antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer for 3 min at 100 °C. Endogenous peroxidase activity and nonspecific antigens were blocked with peroxidase blocking reagent followed by incubation with primary antibodies against ATF3 (1:300, HPA001562; Sigma–Aldrich, USA) and TCF3 (1:200, sc-133075, Santa Cruz, USA) overnight at 4 °C. After washing, sections were incubated with biotin-labeled secondary antibody and subsequently incubated with a streptavidin-peroxidase complex. The peroxidase reaction was developed using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogen solution in DAB buffer substrate (#8059, Cell Signaling, USA). Sections were visualized with DAB, counterstained with hematoxylin, mounted in neutral gum and analyzed using a brightfield microscope. The IHC score was calculated by multiplying the staining intensity grade (grade of 0, 1, 2, or 3 indicating negative, weak-positive, moderate-positive or strong-positive, respectively) by the positive rate score (score of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 indicating positive areas of 0–5%, 6–25%, 26–50%, 51–75%, or 76–100%, respectively).

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.
