Immunohistochemical staining of CD34 (ab81289, Abcam, UK), FSHR (orb213952, Biorbyt, UK), AMH (orb523061, Biorbyt, UK), PCNA (ab29, Abcam, UK), and caspase-3 (ab184787, Abcam, UK) was performed in D15 ovarian tissue. After fixation, the ovarian tissue was embedded into 4 nm thick sections, followed by dewaxing, rehydration, antigen retrieval, blocking, addition of the primary antibodies against CD34, FSHR, AMH, PCNA, and caspase-3, and counterstaining with the secondary antibody and hematoxylin. Finally, the images were collected under a microscopy system (Hamamatsu Photonics, Japan). CD34 staining was located in the ovarian stroma and corpus luteum. FSHR, AMH, PCNA, and caspase-3 were mainly located in the ovarian granulosa cells. Four fields of view were randomly selected for observation at 400x. CD34 was scored using MVD [29 (link)]. FSHR, AMH, PCNA, and caspase-3 were scored using the H score. According to the H score equation, H‐score∑Pi (i + 1), where i is the intensity staining (0 = negative, 1 = weak, 2 = medium, and 3 = strong). Pi is at each intensity (0–100%) percentage of stained cells. The H scores were measured in granulosa cells. The sections were independently scored by two pathologists. If there is a difference in the scores, reevaluate the slides and the two observers reached a consensus [30 (link)].

Total protein was extracted from cells and uterine tissue with a protein extraction kit (KeyGEN, Changchun, China) according to protocols from the supplier. Protein concentration was determined using a bicinchoninic acid assay (KeyGEN). Equal concentrations of total protein were separated by SDS-PAGE (12%). Proteins were transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes and were blocked for two hours with TBST (50 mmol/L Tris, pH 7.6, 150 mmol/L NaCl, and 0.1% Tween 20) containing 5% BSA. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies diluted in TBST overnight at 4 °C. Antibodies against cytochrome C (ab133504), caspase-3 (ab184787), BAX, (ab32503), and Bcl-2 (ab182858) were from Abcam (Shanghai, China). After washing three times in TBST, the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies for two hours at room temperature and then washed three times for 10 min. Protein bands were visualized by exposure to an enhanced chemiluminescence detection system imager (Tanon Biotech, Shanghai, China) with an enhanced chemiluminescence solution (DiNING, Beijing, China). The relative intensity of each band was assessed by Image J 1.47 v software.

Mouse lung tissue and MLE-12 cells were lysed by RIPA lysate. Mouse lung tissue needs to be additionally put into a homogenizer to fully lyse. The protein lysate was then centrifuged (12,000 g, 15 min, 4°C) and the supernatant was collected. After being mixed into the loading buffer, the protein lysate was heated to 100°C for 5 min. Then, we made a 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel and added 10 μL of protein lysate. After electrophoresis and membrane transfer, the protein is transferred to the polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. We used 5% bovine serum albumin-PBS-Tween to block nonspecific antigens for 1 h at room temperature. The membrane was then incubated with primary antibody dilutions (β-actin, ab8226, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; IL-1β, ab254360, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; tumor necrosis factor (TNF), ab1793, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; SOD1, ab51254, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; SOD2, ab68155, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; caspase 3, ab184787, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; p65, ab16502, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; p-p65, ab86299, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; IκBα, ab183503, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA;) at 4°C overnight. After washing the membrane, we incubated the membrane at room temperature for 1 h with the secondary antibody dilution (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA).

The homogenized ovarian tissues were lysed in RIPA lysis buffer containing a protease inhibitor. The supernatants obtained after centrifugation for 15 min at 13,000 rpm were then collected for western blotting. The protein concentration was detected by the Bradford test. Thereafter, the proteins were separated by Mini-PROTEAN® TGX™ (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and transferred onto PVDF membranes using a Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System. The PVDF membranes were blocked with 5% horse serum at room temperature for 3 h and incubated at 4 °C overnight with rabbit polyclonal antibodies against caspase-3 (diluted 1:2000; ab184787, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), total PI3K (1:1000, ab191606, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), total AKT (1:500, ab8805, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and total mTOR (1:800, Dg-Peptide Co., Hangzhou, China).

Mice (n = 6/group) were treated as described above and at day 17 post-implantation tumors were harvested, frozen and cut into tissues sections. Tissue sections were stained with CD31 antibody (abcam, ab281583)/Ki67 antibody (abcam, ab15580)/cleaved caspase -3 (abcam, ab184787) followed by secondary anti-rat IgG conjugated to HRP (GE Healthcare, Piscataway, NJ). CD31+/Ki67+/cleaved caspase-3+ staining was revealed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB) histochemistry (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Sections were counterstained with hematoxylin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO). Tumor microvessel density was quantified for all treatment groups. At least 6–10 representative 40X fields per view were captured as epifluorescent digital images using a Spot digital camera (Spot Diagnostic instruments, Sterling, MI). To calculate microvessel density, area occupied by CD31-positive microvessels and total tissue area, per section were quantified using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD). Microvessel density was then calculated as a percentage of CD31 stained per tumor section.

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.
