Immunophenotyping of Aortic Cell Populations

Aortic sections were immunostained with anti-laminin γ1 (Abcam), anti-nestin (Sigma), anti-SMA (Sigma), anti-SM22α (GeneTex), anti-fibronectin (Millipore), anti-collagen I (Sigma), anti-collagen IV (Millipore), anti-CD90 (Abcam), anti-CD105 (Biolegend), anti-PDGFRα (eBiosciences), anti-c-Kit (R&D), and anti-Ki67 (Millipore) antibodies overnight at 4°C. For fluorescent staining, sections were incubated with appropriate fluorescent secondary antibodies (Invitrogen) for 1 hour at room temperature. Due to strong autofluorescence in the green channel of aortic tissue, Alexa-647 (artificially colored in green) rather than Alexa-488 was used. For DAB staining, sections were incubated with biotinylated secondary antibodies for 1 hour at room temperature, followed by ABC kit (Vector) and DAB Kit (Vector), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. After mounting, the sections were examined and photographed with Zeiss Axiovert 200 or Leica confocal microscope.

Quantitative Analysis of Protein Markers

Total protein concentration from the lysates was determined using the Bio-Rad protein assay kit. Equal amount of protein was loaded and separated in 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE, followed by transfer to PVDF membrane (Millipore). The membranes were then incubated with anti-AQP4 (Millipore, AB3594, 1:500), anti-occludin (Invitrogen, 71-1500, 1:1000), anti-ZO-1 (Invitrogen, 40-2200, 1:1000), anti-Claudin-5 (Invitrogen, 34-1600, 1:1000), anti-PDGFRβ (Cell Signaling, 3169S, 1:500), anti-SMA (Sigma, F3777, 1:1000), anti-SM22-α (GeneTex, GTX113561, 1:1000), anti-integrin α2 (Millipore, AB1936, 1:500), anti-myocardin (R&D, MAB4028, 1:500) and anti-actin (Sigma, A5441, 1:2000) antibodies at 4 overnight, followed by incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab). The proteins were visualized by SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Pierce). The density of bands was normalized to actin and quantified using NIH Image J.

Molecular Profiling of Murine Aorta

Descending thoracic aorta was dissected out from saline-perfused mice. After removing surrounding connective tissue, descending thoracic aorta was homogenized in tissue lysis buffer (100 mM Tris, pH 8, 1% SDS, 200 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1X protease inhibitor cocktail, 1X phosphatase inhibitor cocktail). Total protein concentration from the lysates was determined using the Bio-Rad protein assay kit. Equal amounts of proteins were loaded and separated on 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE, followed by transfer to PVDF membrane (Millipore). The membranes were then incubated with anti-laminin γ1 (Neo Markers), anti-ATR1 (Abcam), anti-ATR2 (Abcam), anti-SM-calponin (Millipore), anti-SMA (Sigma), anti-SM22α (GeneTex), anti-nestin (Santa Cruz), or anti-actin (Sigma) antibodies at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Lab). The proteins were visualized by SuperSignal West Pico Chemiluminescent Substrate (Pierce). Band density was normalized to actin and quantified using NIH Image J.

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.
