IF was performed on frozen muscle cross sections that were postfixed after sectioning in precooled acetone (−20°C) for 10 min and placed at room temperature for 30 min. Sections were washed twice in PBS and then blocked by incubating the sections with blocking buffer for 1 h at room temperature. The sections were washed with PBS and incubated with the primary antibodies against dystrophin (1:100; MANDRA11; DSHB), IL6R (1:500; ab83053; Abcam), and CD31 (1:500; ab24590; Abcam) diluted in blocking buffer overnight at 4°C in a humid chamber. Sections were washed, and the secondary antibody was applied for dystrophin (AlexaFluor 594 florescent secondary antibody; A-11032; Thermo Fisher), IL6R (AlexaFluor 594 florescent secondary antibody; A21209; Thermo Fisher), and CD31 (AlexaFluor 488 florescent secondary antibody; A11001; Thermo Fisher) at a dilution of 1:1,000 in blocking buffer for 1 h at room temperature. Sections were washed and incubated with DAPI (268298; EMD Millipore) for 1 min to visualize nuclei. Sections were washed, and coverslips were applied using Prolong Gold Antifade mounting media.

IL-6Rα expression (ab83053, Abcam) was evaluated in discoidin domain receptor 2+ (DDR2; ab76967, Abcam) CFs using immunohistochemistry. The influence of IL-6 on murine specific matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) was quantified using media conditioned by murine CFs after 48 h of 1% oxygen and 1% serum direct co-culture with SCR or shIL-6-transduced human EDCs (MMPT90, R&D Systems). The effect of IL-6 on CFs and cardiac macrophages in vivo was assessed 28 days post-infarct using histological analysis of myocardial sections for alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA; ab66133, Abcam), the myofibroblast marker CD68 (ab955, Abcam) or M2 macrophage marker CD206 (ab64693, Abcam).

The protein concentration was determined by bicinchoninic acid protein assay. Equal amount of protein was used, and Western blotting was performed as previously described (66 (link)). Primary antibodies included anti-CD9 antibody (ab92726, Abcam, MA), anti-CD63 antibody (216130, Abcam, MA), anti-CD81 antibody [10037, Cell Signaling Technology (CST)], anti–annexin A1 antibody (3299, CST), anti-HSP90 antibody (4877, CST), anti–IL-6R antibody (ab83053, Abcam, MA), anti-Stat3 antibody and anti-p-Stat3 antibody (9139S and 9145S, CST), anti–IL-6 antibody (12912, CST), anti–nuclear factor κB antibody (8242S, CST), anti–TNF-α antibody (ab1793, Abcam, MA), anti–IL-1b antibody (NB600-633, Novus), anti-CD86 antibody (ab119857, Abcam, MA), anti-Arg1 antibody (sc-18355, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA), and anti–β-actin antibody (ab28696, Abcam, MA). The gray intensity of protein blots was measured using ImageJ software (NIH).

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.
