Immunohistochemical Analysis of Hippocampal Astrocytes

Immunohistochemistry staining was carried out according to the method previously described [11 (link)]. The brains were fixed in 4% PFA solution for 48 h and were then cut into serial sections (5 μm). The paraffin-embedded hippocampal sections were processed as free-floating slices, including deparaffinized, rehydrated, and pretreated with hydrogen peroxidase. Antigen retrieval was performed by heating in 0.01 mmol/L citrate buffer (PH = 7.2) for 15 min. Slices were incubated with primary antibodies (GLAST, Cell signaling, #5684, 1:50; GLT-1, Abcam, #69098, 1:300) after blocking in the antisera. After incubation with the secondary antibody, sections were placed in DAB reagent (#00–2014, Invitrogen, USA) for 5–10 min at room temperature. After a further rinsing in 0.1 mol PBS, sections were restained with hematoxylin, and were mounted on gelatine-coated slides for observation. The images of the positively stained expressions in the CA1, CA3 and DG regions of the hippocampus were captured at 200 x magnifications by an Olympus BX 41 microscope.

Tissue samples were made into protein samples by RIPA lysis buffer and prepared for protein electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the gels were transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes, then incubated with the indicated antibodies with gentle shaking overnight at 4 °C. The antibodies used were HDAC1 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #34589), HDAC2 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #57156), HDAC3 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #85057), HDAC4 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #15164), HDAC5 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #20458), HDAC6 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #7558), GLT-1 (1:2,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #3838), GLAST (1:2,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #5684), GluN2B (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #14544), p-GluN2B (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #5355), GluA1 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #13185), p-GluA1 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, 75574), and β-actin (1:2,000, Cell Signaling Technology, #4967). Next, the PVDF membranes were incubated with specific HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies, and the protein bands were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL, Bio-Rad, California, USA). ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, USA) was employed to quantify the band densities.

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.
