Zebrafish embryos were collected at 48 hpf to perform whole‐mount immunofluorescence. After fixing in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) at 4°C overnight, digestion using Collagenase, Type II (Life technologies), and blocking at room temperature, the embryos were incubated with the rabbit anti‐Histone H3 (phospho S10) (ab5176, Abcam) and mouse anti‐BrdU (sc‐32323, Santa Cruz Biotechnology). For BrdU assay, embryos were exposed to BrdU for 6 h before collection.
For tissue sections of mouse hearts, the proliferation of cardiomyocytes was analysed by immunohistochemical staining using rabbit anti‐Ki67 (ab15580, Abcam) and rabbit anti‐Histone H3 (phospho S10) (ab5176, Abcam). To identify the positivity of the immune‐stained sections, negative controls (NCs) were set that the slices from the same batch were only incubated with isotype matched secondary antibodies without binding with specific primary antibodies.

Protein extracts in Laemmli buffer were run at 100V on a 10% acrylamide (37.5:1) SDS-PAGE gel. Acid-extracted nuclear fractions and cytoplasmic fractions were run on separate gels on the same day. Proteins were then transferred onto BioTrace nitrocellulose membrane, 0.2 µm pore size (Pall Corporation #66485) at 4°C and 15 V for 12 h. The membrane was incubated in blotting milk containing polyclonal antibodies raised in rabbit against mouse SKIV2L2 (1:1000 dilution, Abcam ab187884), β-actin (1:50 dilution, Thermo Fisher #PA5-16914), or H3 phospho-S10 (1:500 dilution, Abcam ab5176) for 16 h at 4°C, followed by goat anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to horseradish peroxidase (1:5,000 dilution, Abcam ab6721) Protein was detected using luminol, ρ-coumaric acid, and hydrogen peroxide and capturing chemiluminescence with the UVP Biospectrum System. SKIV2L2 and H3 phospho-S10 protein levels were quantified by normalizing to ACTB using the ImageJ software provided by the NIH. A Student's t-test measured significance between control and Skiv2l2 siRNA samples, while a one-way ANOVA with Tukey's HSD test was used with comparison to chemically induced differentiation.

Cells were grown on sterile 12-mm glass coverslips, fixed in 3% formaldehyde in PBS for 15 min at room temperature, washed once in PBS, permeabilized for 5 min at room temperature in PBS supplemented with 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich), and washed twice in PBS. All primary antibodies (see below for specifications) and secondary antibodies (Alexa fluorophores; Life Technologies) were diluted in filtered DMEM containing 10% FBS and 0.02% sodium azide. Antibody incubations were performed for 1–2 h at room temperature. After antibody incubations, coverslips were washed once with PBS and incubated for 10 min with PBS containing DAPI (0.5 µg/ml) at room temperature to stain DNA. Following three washing steps in PBS, coverslips were briefly washed with distilled water and mounted on 6 µl Mowiol-based mounting media. The following primary antibodies were used for immunostaining: CHK1 (1:500; rabbit; ab40866; Abcam), CHK1 phospho S296 (1:500; rabbit; ab79758; Abcam), H2AX phospho S139 (1:1,000; mouse; 613401; Biolegend), KAP1 phospho S824 (1:500; rabbit; ab70369; Abcam), RPA32 phospho S4/8 (1:500; rabbit; A300-245A; Bethyl), p21 (1:100; rabbit; sc-756; Santa Cruz), HA (1:500; mouse; 901513; Biolegend), and pH3S10 (rabbit; ab5176; Abcam).

Postlarvae and juveniles on the coverslips were fixed according to [46 ]. Immunohistochemistry followed the protocol described in [28 (link)], using the antibodies against phospho-histone H3 [pSer10] (rabbit, 1:500, Abcam ab5176), acetylated-∂-tubulin (mouse 1:500, Sigma-Aldrich T6793) and tyrosinated-∂-tubulin (mouse 1:500, Sigma-Aldrich T9028). For secondary antibodies, we used AlexaFluor 488 (anti-rabbit or anti-mouse. 1:200, Molecular Probes), AlexaFluor 568 (anti-rabbit or anti-mouse. 1:200, Molecular Probes) and AlexaFluor 647 (anti-rabbit or anti-mouse, 1:200, Molecular Probes). AlexaFluor 488-conjugated phallacidin (1:25, Molecular Probes), which is generally used to label filamentous actin, was used as a counterstain to label F-actin-enriched cells in the inner cell mass and epithelial layer in larvae. For all samples, nuclei were labeled with the fluorescent dye 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; 1:1000, Molecular Probes) for 30 min, washed in PBST for 5 min and mounted using ProLong Gold anti-fade reagent (Molecular Probes). All samples were observed using the Zeiss LSM 510 META confocal microscope, and image analysis was performed using the software ImageJ.

miR-31a-5p antagomir (2‘OME+ 5’chol modified) (RiboBio) injections were performed. To inhibit miR-31a-5p in neonatal rats, 50 mg kg−1 antagomir or the scramble control was given intraperitoneally for 3 consecutive days after birth, and 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine (EdU, 50 mg kg−1) was injected intraperitoneally daily 2 days before harvesting at P4. Ventricular tissues were snap frozen in liquid nitrogen with OCT on the short axis at 8 μm. For staining, sections were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) followed by washing with PBS. Sections were blocked with 3% (w/v) BSA in PBS and then incubated with primary antibodies overnight: p-histone H3 (1:100, ab5176, Abcam), Ki-67 (1:100, ab 16667, Abcam) and α-actinin (1:100, A7811, Sigma-Aldrich).

Protein samples were extracted from the kidneys. The lysates (50 µg) were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a 10% (wt/vol) acrylamide gel and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. After blocking with 10% milk and incubating with primary and secondary antibodies, the blots were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence. The intensity of each band was quantified by densitometry with Image Lab 5.2.1 and normalized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) before relative quantification.

Srek1L Regulates Hepatocyte Proliferation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy (PHx) may facilitate tumor growth and HCC recurrence. It remodels a microenvironment through alterations in cellular signaling pathways, which activate the proliferation of mature hepatocytes60 (link). Thus, we utilized PHx to evaluate the effect of Srek1L on hepatocyte proliferation. Gain-of-function experiments were performed through overexpressing Srek1L in C57BL/6 mice by intravenous tail vein injection with control (AAV8-CMV-eGFP) or with Srek1L overexpressing adeno-associated virus (AAV8-CMV-SREK1-IRES-eGFP) (Hanbio Biotechnology, assay ID: HH20210414HZCY-AAV01) with a titer 1 × 1012 vg ml−1. To evaluate the mRNA level of Srek1L, mice were sacrificed 40 days post-AAV injection, and livers were isolated for GFP fluorescence detection and RNA extraction. GFP fluorescence detection was carried out by PhotoIMAGER OPTIMA (Biospace lab, Paris, France).). Srek1L mRNA level is detected by real-time PCR. Mice livers were collected, frozen and embedded in OCT (Sakura 4583) compound 4th and 8th days post PHx. Livers blocks were sectioned and stained by phosphorylation of histone 3 serine 10 (anti-pH3S10; Abcam ab5176; 1:200) for proliferative potential evaluation.

Cultured hindlimbs were processed in a sucrose gradient (15% and then 30%) and embedded in a 30% sucrose and optimal cutting temperature compound 50:50 mix. Ten-micrometer sections of the medial condyles with full-length femora and lateral condyles were collected along the sagittal axis of the femora and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde.
For histology, frozen sections were stained with Toluidine blue (sGAG stain) for 4 min and then washed with deionized water or stained in Picrosirius red (collagen stain) for 30 min, followed by 10 min in acidified water. Sections were imaged using light microscopy with a consistent exposure time (Yenway EX30l; Life Sciences Microscope, Glasgow, UK). For immunofluorescence, frozen sections were washed with PBTD (0.1% Tween 20 and 1% DMSO in phosphate-buffered saline) for permeabilization, blocked with 5% normal goat serum for 2 hours, incubated with primary antibodies against TRPV4 protein (1:500; ab39260, Abcam) or pHH3 (1:500; ab5176, Abcam) at 4°C overnight, followed by Alexa Fluor 488–conjugated secondary antibody (1:200; ab150077, Abcam) for 2 hours and lastly stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) for 3 min.

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.
