To evaluate in vivo changes in ECM secretion, levels of
inflammatory cytokines, and macrophage polarization, the sections were
immunohistochemically stained. Briefly, deparaffinized sections were
incubated with 3% H2O2 for 15 min in the dark and then
blocked with 3% BSA for 30 min at room temperature. The sections were
incubated overnight at 4°C along with the following primary antibodies: Col
II (1:500, GB111629, Servicebio), aggrecan (1:500, GB11373, Servicebio),
IL-1β (1:200, AF5103, Affinity), IL-6 (1:200, DF6087, Affinity), IL-10
(1:200, DF6894, Affinity), IL-4 (1:200, AF5142, Affinity), CD68 (1:300,
GB113109, Servicebio), Arg1 (1:500, GB11285, Servicebio), and CC-chemokine
receptor 7 (CCR7) (1:300, GB11502, Servicebio). After primary antibody
incubation, the sections were incubated with a specific HRP-conjugated
secondary antibody (1:200, S0001, Affinity) for 1 h at 25°C. The sections
were stained with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine and counterstained with hematoxylin
for the nucleus. Finally, the sections were mounted and photographed using
an optical microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Immunohistochemical staining
intensity was digitally quantified using ImageJ software.

Our previous study also described this method in detailly [2 (link)]. After intervertebral disc sections or NP cells were well prepared, 0.1% Triton X-100 was employed to permeate samples for 5 min. Then, samples were blocked with 3-5% BSA for 60 min at 37°C. Then, the samples were incubated using primary antibody against γH2AX (GB111841, 1 : 200, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), aggrecan (GB11373, 1 : 500, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), collagen type II (GB14073, 1 : 500, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), iNOS (GB11119, 1 : 1000, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), collagen type I (GB11022, 1 : 500, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), NLRP3 (GB11300, 1 : 1000, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), CD206 (#24595, 1 : 800, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. USA), MMP3 (GB11131, 1 : 500, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), AGT (ab108334, 1 : 200, Abcam, USA), Nrf2 (340675, 1 : 500, Zenbio, Chengdu, China), and p65 (GB11142, 1 : 200, Servicebio, Wuhan, China) at 4°C overnight. At the second day, samples were treated with fluorescence secondary antibody (GB22303, GB21301, Servicebio, Wuhan, China) for 1 h in the dark room. The nuclei were staining with DAPI solution (G1012-100ML, Servicebio, Wuhan, China). The fluorescence was detected using fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Japan).

Paraffin sections of the articular tissues were subjected to IHC analysis. Briefly, after antigen retrieval, the samples were incubated with primary antibodies, including rabbit anti-MMP13 (1:250, GB11247, Servicebio, China), Col 2 (1:250, GB11021, Servicebio, China), and ACAN (1:500, GB11373, Servicebio, China) overnight at 4 °C, followed by binding with biotinylated secondary antibodies and incubation with diaminobenzidine (DAB) substrate for 10 min. The samples were imaged under the fluorescence microscope (ECLIPSE Ci-L, Nikon, Japan). The positive areas of MMP13, Col 2, and ACAN were quantified through ImageJ software.

For aggrecan, type II collagen, MMP3, Ki-67, p65, and Nrf2 immunofluorescent staining, NP cells with different treatments were fixed using 4% PFA for 15-20 min and were permeated for another 5 min using 0.1% v/v Triton X-100. Cells were incubated with Aggrecan (GB11373, 1 : 500-1 : 1000, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), type II collagen (GB11021, 1 : 100-1 : 500, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), MMP3 (GB11131, 1 : 400-1 : 1600, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), Ki-67 (GB111141, 1 : 1200, Servicebio, Wuhan, China), NF-κB p65 (D14E12, #8242, cell signaling technology, Inc., 3 Trask Lane Danvers, USA), and Nrf2 (340675, Zenbio, Chengdu, China, 1 : 100) diluted in 0.2% w/v bovine serum albumin- (BSA-) TBS for 1 h and then washed with PBS. Cells were incubated with DAPI solution (G1012-100ML, Servicebio, Wuhan, China) for visualization of nuclei and, then, incubated with FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (GB22303, Servicebio, Wuhan, China) and Cy3-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (GB21301, Servicebio, Wuhan, China) for 30 mins in the dark environment. Fluorescence detection was performed by fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Japan).

Chondrocytes were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min, and washed with PBS three times. The normal goat serum (Servicebio, WGAR1009) was used to block chondrocytes for 30 min at room temperature. The chondrocytes were incubated with primary antibodies against aggrecan (1:500, Servicebio, GB11373) and collagen-II (1:200, Servicebio, GB11021) at 4 °C for 24 h. Then chondrocytes were incubated with fluorescein-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:600, Servicebio, GB21301) at 37 °C for 1 h. The nuclei were stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The images were acquired by an inverted fluorescence microscope. Cellular fluorescence intensity was quantified by evaluating positive cells using Image-J software.

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.
