Cells infected with the indicated lentiviral constructs were lysed in RIPA buffer (Solarbio, Beijing, China) with protease inhibitors (0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, Sigma-Aldrich Inc., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA) for 20 minutes at 4°C. After centrifugation, protein concentrations were measured using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (TIANGEN Biotech, Beijing, China). An amount of 50 µg protein from each sample was subjected to SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (Immobilon P, Merck Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA). The membrane was cut into sections based on protein markers, and then probed for Sema4D, Plexin-B1, and VEGF, with α-tubulin selected as a loading control. The antibodies used were as follows: mouse anti-Sema4D (610670, BD Biosciences); mouse anti-Plexin-B1 (sc28372, Santa Cruz A8); mouse anti-VEGF (sc74584, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Dallas, TX, USA); and VEGFR2 (9698, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), rabbit anti-α-tubulin (Epitomics, Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA). The membranes were then incubated with the appropriate secondary antibodies (goat anti-mouse IgG [Heavy and Light Chain] peroxidase labeled [KPL], goat anti-rabbit IgG [Heavy and Light Chain] peroxidase labeled, KPL, Gaithersburg, MD, USA). Proteins were detected using Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Millipore).

Cells were washed 3× with 300 µL PBS and incubated with a primary antibody against VEGF (mouse anti-VEGF, Santa Cruz, Cambridge, UK, dilution 1:200) for 2 h in a humidified chamber. After three further washes with PBS, cells were incubated with Alexa Fluor®488 labeled anti-mouse antibody (Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) for 1 h. Subsequently, cells were washed three times with PBS. Cell nuclei were counterstained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI).

RPE-choroid-sclera complexes and retinas were extracted from three mice at 1, 3, 7, and 14 days after laser injury. Proteins were separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) and were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane.

The antibodies were incubated with 5% skim milk overnight at 4 °C and reacted with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)–conjugated secondary antibodies (1:2,000; Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL) at 37 °C for 2 h. Extensive washes in 0.05% Tween-20 in TBS were followed by incubation with anti-GAPDH (1:1,000; Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO). The blots were then incubated with chemifluorescent reagent enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL; Thermo Scientific) and exposed to X-ray film in the dark. The intensity of the GAPDH signal was used as an endogenous control, and band optical density was quantified using ImageJ (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Briefly, after fixation and blocking, cells were incubated with the primary antibodies: mouse anti-VEGF (1:250), rabbit anti-VEGF (1:250), rabbit anti-Flk-1 (1:250), mouse anti-Flk-1 (1:250), mouse anti-NCL (1:50), goat anti-RPTPβ/ζ (1:250) (all from Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.), mouse anti-ανβ3 (1:500; Merck Millipore), mouse anti-PTN (1:500; Abnova, Heidelberg, Germany) and mouse anti-RPTPβ/ζ (1:250; BD Biosciences). Subsequently, cells were incubated with secondary antibodies conjugated with oligonucleotides. After hybridization and ligation of the oligonucleotides, the DNA was amplified. A detection mixture detected the amplicons, resulting in red fluorescence signals. Nuclei were counterstained with Draq5; cells were mounted with Mowiol 4–88 and visualized at room temperature with Leica SP5 confocal microscope.

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.
