Histological Analysis of Liver Fibrosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Formalin-fixed samples were embedded in paraffin, cut into 5 μm-thick sections and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (H-E), Masson’s trichrome and Sirius red according to standard procedures. Trichrome stained sections were analyzed to score the amount of fibrosis according to the method of Ishak.25 (link) The collagen proportional area (CPA) was morphometrically quantified on Sirius red stained sections with image processing software (ImageJ, NIH). Additional sections were stained with an antibodies specific for receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), delta-like homologue 1 (DLK-1) (both from Abcam, Cambridge, MA) and OV-6 (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN). All slides were reviewed blindly by the same liver pathologist.

Dlk1 Overexpression Protein Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total protein content was extracted from cells of each cell line by using RIPA lysis buffer and then determined by using the BCA method. The whole protein of each sample was separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto PVDF membranes for blotting. The antibodies used in this study were Gapdh (#60004-1-Ig Proteintech, Wuhan, China), Dlk1 (#ab210471, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), Notch1 (#4ab094535, 4A BIOTECH, Beijing, China), Rhoc (#4ab090482, 4A BIOTECH, Beijing, China), Erk1/2 (#BF8004, Affinity Biosciences, Changzhou, China), and p-Erk1/2 (#AF1015, Affinity Biosciences, Changzhou, China). The full length of Dlk1 cDNA was cloned to pcDNA3.1 to overexpress Dlk1.

DLK-1 Expression Modulation in HUVECs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For DLK-1 experiments, HUVECs seeded in 6-well plates were incubated with nanocomplexes at a 50:1 ratio containing 1.0µg of negative siRNA (Allstars, Qiagen) or miR-126–5p for 48 hours. The cellular proteins were extracted and lysates were processed as described above. Blots were probed for α-tubulin (1:1000; Cell Signaling), or DLK-1 (1:1000; Abcam) overnight at 4°C and IRDye secondary antibodies (1:10000) for 1 hour. Blots were analyzed using an Odyssey Licor Imaging System (Li-COR).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Fetal Liver Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues were either fixed overnight and embedded in paraffin. Sections were cut 4–5 mm thick. Paraffin sections were deparaffinized, dehydrated, and we performed antigen retrieval by steaming slides in sodium citrate buffer for 30 min. Sections were blocked in the blocking serum buffer (5% serum in PBS + 0.5% Triton X-100) for 30 min. Primary antibodies were diluted in blocking buffer and incubated on tissue sections overnight at 4 °C. Slides were washed and incubated in secondary antibody in blocking buffer for 2 h at room temperature. Slides were washed and mounted using Fluormount-G and observed under a microscope. Antibody information: FOXA2 (Cell Signaling, #3143); DLK1 (Abcam, ab21682); HNF4A (LSBio, LS-C413074); LZTS1 (Bioss, bs-5705R).

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.
