Western immunoblotting was conducted as previously described [14 (link), 33 (link), 76 (link)]. In brief, around 50 mg of PFC tissues were sonicated in ice-cold 1% SDS and immediately boiled. Protein concentrations were ascertained using the Bradford assay (BioRad, Hercules, CA). Equal amounts of protein (10-30 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE into slab gels of 10-15% polyacrylamide and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Amersham Biosciences, Baie d'Urfé, Quebec). The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies against APE1, OGG1, DNMT1, DNMT3A, MeCP2, BMP4, DNMT3B, Laminin 1-2 (1:1000, Abcam), and actin (1:2000, Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Primary antibody binding was detected using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies and the Enhanced Chemiluminescence Plus System (Amersham Biosciences, Baie d'Urfé, Quebec). Chemiluminescence was detected using a FluorChem HD2 camera with FluorChem software (Cell Biosciences). The membranes were stained with Coomassie blue (BioRad, Hercules, CA) to confirm equal protein loading. Signals were quantified using NIH Image J64 software and normalised relative to actin or Coomassie staining.

Spleens were collected from recipient mice at different time points after B cell transfer, and 5 mm fragments were fixed for 4 hours in PBS with 4% paraformaldehyde and then overnight in PBS with 30% sucrose. Tissues were cryopreserved in Tissue-Plus OCT compound (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 10 μm sections were obtained using a cryostat. Tissue sections were hydrated and then blocked for 30 minutes at room temperature in staining solution (5% donkey serum in PBS-Tween 20) plus FcR block (clone 93; BioLegend). Antibody staining was performed overnight at 4°C in staining solution with 1–2 ng/μL of the following anti-mouse antibodies: anti-CD45.1-AF488 (clone A20; BioLegend), CD169-AF647 (clone 3D6.112; BioLegend), and laminin 1+2 (polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse, ab7463; Abcam) labeled with CF568-Mix-n-Stain antibody labeling kit (Biotium). Slides were washed with PBS, mounted using ProLong Diamond Antifade Mountant (Invitrogen), and imaged using 20× magnification lenses in a Zeiss LSM710 confocal microscope. Images were processed and analyzed using Volocity 6.3. software (PerkinElmer).

Muscle Regeneration Histologic Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Histologic evaluation was performed at indicated time points in tibialis anterior muscles from wild type C57BL/6J (both injured and contralateral uninjured TAs), LysM-Cre;Tgfb1fl/fl mutants on a C57BL/6J background, and TGFBRII-FC treated (WT) mice following inductive ischemia/reperfusion injury and concomitant cardiotoxin at indicated timepoints. Muscle specimens were flash frozen and sectioned as described above, subsequently mounted on Superfrost plus slides (Fisher) and stored at −20°C. Sections were blocked and permeabilized with 2% serum, 1% BSA, 0.1% fish skin gelatin, 0.001% Triton X-100 and 0.0005% Tween-20. Sections were incubated overnight with the following antibodies F4/80 (Abcam), PDGFRα (R&D), TGFβ1 (Novus), pSMAD3 (Novus), Ly6G (Abcam), laminin 1/2 (Abcam), eMHC (DHSB), perilipin-1 (CST), Anti-15 Lipoxygenase 1 (ALOX15) (Abcam), and KI67 (Abcam); primary antibodies listed in table below. Fluorophore conjugated secondary antibodies were diluted to 1:200. Nuclear counterstain was performed with Hoechst 33342 (Life Technologies). Appropriate primary antibody negative controls were run simultaneously with each tested sample.

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.
