Immunohistochemistry was performed using the Envision+/HRP system (Dako) with rabbit anti-ALP [22 (link)], rabbit anti-osteopontin (LSL), rabbit anti-trkB (Santa Cruz) and mouse anti-cathepsin K (Daiichi Fine Chemical Co., Ltd, Toyama, Japan) antibodies. Sections were treated with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol for 30 minutes at room temperature to block endogenous peroxidase activity. After rinsing in PBS, the sections were incubated with 5% skimmed milk in PBS and 0.05% Triton X-100 (T-PBS) for 1 hour at room temperature to block non-specific protein-binding sites. They were then incubated overnight at 4°C with the primary antibodies diluted at 50 μg/ml in T-PBS. For visualization of the reaction products, sections were the treated with 0.02% 3,3’-diaminobenzidine (Dohjin Laboratories) in 0.05 M Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4) containing 0.005% hydrogen peroxide, and they were counterstained with hematoxylin. For control experiments, the primary antibodies were replaced with preimmune rabbit or mouse IgG.

Protein lysates were extracted according to a previously described method (Hwang et al. 2018 ; Kim et al. 2018 (link)). Dissected hippocampal tissues were homogenized in 400 μl per 1 g concentration of RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA) with 1 mM PMSF (Sigma-Aldrich Inc.) on ice. The homogenized sample was incubated on ice for 20 min. Incubated sample was centrifuged at 14,000 g for 10 min at 4°C, and supernatants were collected. Protein content was measured using a micro-drop plate reader (Thermo Fisher Scientific). NF-кB and IкBα in the hippocampus were detected using nuclear/cytosol fractionation kit (BioVision Inc, Milpitas, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The following primary antibodies (1:1000 dilution) were selected to react overnight at 4°C: mouse anti-β-actin, anti-TNF-α, anti-interleukin-6 (IL-6), anti-proBDNF, anti-BDNF, anti-Iba-1, rabbit anti-TrkB, anti-NF-κB, and anti-IκBα (Santa Cruz Biotechnology).

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.
