Intestinal Tissue Harvesting and Histological Processing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Either the entire intestinal tract was removed and divided into small
intestine (proximal, middle, and distal) and colon, or in case of
wounding/colitis experiments, only the colon was removed. The intestines were
flushed with phosphate-buffered saline, opened longitudinally using a gut
preparation apparatus, and fixed overnight in 10% neutral buffered formalin
(Merck, Readington, NJ). The tissues were then embedded in paraffin and
sectioned at 4 μm using a microtome (Leica, Buffalo
Grove, IL) with diethylpyrocarbonate-treated water (Merck) in the water
bath.
To find the ulcers generated by biopsy wounding, the entire tissue block
was sectioned, and 4 serial sections collected, followed by a
50-μm trim (discarded), throughout the block.
H&E staining was performed on 1 of 4 sections of each series following
standard procedures, leaving 3 blank slides per series for other stains. The
mid-ulcer series of sections was determined for all ulcers by identifying their
range within the entire set of H&E slides per block. For whole-mount
scanning, colons were washed with cold phosphate-buffered saline, whole-mounted,
and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 3 hours at room temperature. In situ
hybridization, immunohistochemistry, multiplex, and whole-mount staining were
completed using standard techniques described in detail in the Supplementary

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To verify the stability of circVPS33B in XGC-1 cells, we performed actinomycin D treatment and RNase R digestion. For actinomycin D treatment, XGC-1 cells were cultured in a complete medium supplemented with 2 μg/mL actinomycin D (Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) or dimethyl sulfoxide (Sigma). For RNA digestion, total RNA from XGC-1 cells was incubated with 3 U/μg RNase R (Geneseed, Guangzhou, China) or diethylpyrocarbonate-treated water (Sigma).

Cell cultures of E. focardii constantly grown at 4 °C were incubated at 0 °C, 4 °C and 12 °C, for 1 and 2 hours. Total RNA was extracted from ~20000 cells (representing a mix of both TN1 and TN15 strains) using TRIzol reagent (Sigma, Milan, Italy) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Isolated RNA was resuspended in diethylpyrocarbonate treated water (Sigma) and subjected to DNase I (from Carlo Erba, Milan Italy) treatment to remove genomic DNA. Total RNA concentration was measured at 260 nm with UV spectrophotometer (UV 1600PC). RNA integrity was verified by denaturing electrophoresis of a 2 µg sample on 1% agarose gel. DNase I-treated RNA samples were used as the template to amplify the E. focardii SSUrRNA gene to verify the absence of genomic DNA contamination. First strand cDNA was synthesized at 42 °C for 1 h from 2 µg of total RNA using random hexamer primers (5 ng/µl final concentration) and Moloney murine leukemia virus reverse transcriptase (Lucigen, Middleton, WI, USA).

The ring structure of circABCA1 was determined by actinomycin D and RNaseR treatment. Total RNA from VSMCs was incubated with 3 U/μg RNase R (Geneseed, China) or diethylpyrocarbonate-treated water (Sigma) at 37 °C.
To test for genetic stability, transfected VSMCs were treated with 4 μM actinomycin D for 0 h, 2 h, 4 h and 6 h, and analyzed by quantitative PCR to determine circABCA1 or GAPDH levels.

To ascertain the stability of circSOD2 within AML12 cells, we employed treatments with Actinomycin D and RNase R. AML12 cells (1 × 106) were incubated in complete medium supplemented with 2 μg/mL Actinomycin D (Sigma) or Dimethyl Sulfoxide (Sigma) as a control. For RNA digestion, total RNA from AML12 cells (1 × 105) was incubated with 3 Units/μg RNase R (Geneseed, Guangzhou, China) or Diethyl Pyrocarbonate-treated water (Sigma) as a control. circSOD2 and linear Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase (GAPDH) mRNA were quantified via quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR).

Total RNA was extracted from longissimus dorsi muscle, adipose, liver, and proximal colon tissues using TRIzol reagent (Waltham, MA, USA). The final RNA was eluted in an appropriate amount of 0.1% diethylpyrocarbonate-treated water (Sigma-Aldrich, Inc., St. Louis, MO, USA), and the total RNA concentration was determined using a NanoDrop™ 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). For cDNA preparation, total RNA was reverse-transcribed using ImProm-II™ Reverse Transcriptase reagent (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). The expression levels of the target mRNAs were amplified by PCR using SYBR premix ExTaq reagents (TaKaRa Bio, Mountain View, CA, USA) and CFX96™ Real-Time System (BIO-RAD, Hercules, CA, USA) in the Bio-Health Materials Core-Facility, Jeju National University. The specific primers used for amplifying the representative genes are listed in Supplementary Table S2. Gene expression levels were calculated using the 2−ΔΔCT method. The mRNA levels of the tested genes were normalized to that of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH).

The reaction conditions of qPCR amplification were employed as following conditions: 95 • C for 2 min and then 40 cycles of 95 • C for 10 s, 60 • C for 20 s, and 72 • C for 20 s. A melting curve analysis was performed after each amplification phase to confirm that any product detected was specific to the desired amplicon.

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.
