In immunofluorescence staining for cardiac markers, monoclonal anti–α‐actinin (Sigma), monoclonal anti‐cTnT (Thermo Scientific), polyclonal anti‐cTnT (Santa Cruz), monoclonal anti–myosin light chain (MLC)2a (Synaptic Systems), polyclonal anti‐MLC2v (ProteinTech Group), anti‐ANP (Santa Cruz), anti–cMyBP‐C (Santa Cruz), polyclonal anti–cMyBP‐C motif (supplied by C. Witt University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany), and anti–nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT)c4 (Santa Cruz) were used. The isotype‐specific secondary antibodies, Alexa Fluor 488 chicken anti‐rabbit IgG, Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti‐mouse IgG1, Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti‐rat IgM, Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti‐mouse IgM, Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti‐mouse IgG, Alexa Fluor 594 goat anti‐mouse IgG2b, Alexa Fluor 594 chicken anti‐goat IgG, and Alexa Fluor 555 goat anti‐rabbit IgG, were all obtained from Invitrogen.

Cardiac Histomorphometry and Hypertrophy Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animals were anesthetized using avertin (250 mg/kg i.p. injection). The chest was opened and an apical injection of 1 M KCl arrested the heart in diastole. Hearts were perfusion-fixed with 4% buffered formalin at physiological pressure, post-fixed in formalin, embedded in paraffin, sectioned at 6 μm, and stained with Masson's Trichrome or hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Cardiac morphometry was performed with Aperio ImageScope Viewer software (Aperio Technologies) using digital planimetry [14,16] . Infarcted/scarred LV area was calculated as a % of total LV area. Cardiac hypertrophy was quantified as the heart weight-to or ventricular weight-to-body weight or tibia length ratio. LV atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) expression was determined via immunohistochemistry utilizing anti-ANP (Santa Cruz) antibody.

Colonies of undifferentiated human iPSCs plated on MEF feeder cells and cardiomyocytes plated on fibronectin-coated dishes were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (MUTO Pure Chemicals, Tokyo, Japan) for 30 min at 4 °C. After fixation, cells were permeabilized with 1% Triton X-100 and blocked with ImmunoBlock (DS Pharma Biomedical, Osaka, Japan). Specimens were incubated at 4 °C overnight with each of the following primary antibodies: anti-OCT3/4 (Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-NANOG (Abcam, Camb, UK), anti-SSEA3 (Millipore, MA, USA), anti-Tra1-81 (Millipore), anti-TroponinT (Thermo Scientific, MA, USA), anti-alpha-actinin (Sigma-Aldrich), anti-GATA4 (Santa Cruz) and anti-ANP (Santa Cruz). Preparations were incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with 50 ng/ml 4′,6′-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Invitrogen). Fluorescent signals were detected using a fluorescence laser microscope equipped with 1.5×105 pixels charged coupled device (CCD) camera (BZ-9000, Keyence, Osaka, Japan).

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.
