Rat Brain Immunostaining for HDAC5

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Rats were deeply anesthetized with isoflurane and perfused transcardially with 500 ml of 0.01 m PBS. Brain tissue was then fixed with 500 ml of 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 1 h before being transferred into 30% sucrose PBS solution. Once the brains sank, they were sectioned into 30 μm slices using a Leica cryostat and stored in cryoprotectant at −80°C. For HDAC5 immunohistochemistry, the sections were washed for 10 min in PBS and then incubated for 1 h at room temperature in blocking buffer (2% BSA in PBS with 0.3% Triton X-100). The sections were incubated next with a primary antibody against HDAC5 (1:500; catalog #sc-133106, Santa Cruz Biotechnology; RRID:AB_2116793) in blocking buffer overnight at room temperature. After washing the sections three times in PBS (5 min each), they were incubated with the secondary antibody Alexa 594-labeled anti-mouse (1:200; catalog #R37121, Thermo Fisher Scientific; RRID:AB_2556549) in blocking buffer for 1 h at room temperature. Finally, the sections were washed in PBS and mounted on glass slides (Fisherbrand Superfrost Plus Microscope Slides, catalog #12-550-15, Fisher Scientific) that were air dried and cover slipped with Fluormount G (Electron Microscopy Sciences).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Adult Exaiptasia were paralyzed in anesthetic solution (15% MgCl2), rinsed in PBS, then embedded in Tissue-Tek O.C.T. Compound (Sakura Cat #4583) in cryomolds (Sakura Tissue-Tek® Cryomold®, Intermediate, Cat #4566) and flash frozen on dry ice and stored at −80°C. Cryostat sections (18–20μm) were adhered to Fisherbrand™ Superfrost™ Plus Microscope Slides (Fisher Scientific Cat #12–550-15) and flash frozen on dry ice and stored at −80°C until used for BaseScope. The BaseScope Duplex Detection Reagent Kit (Advanced Cell Diagnostics Cat #323800) and the manufacturer’s manual (BaseScope Duplex Detection Reagent User Manual, ACDBio) was followed to hybridize custom probes or positive control (Cat #700101) or negative control probes (Cat #700141) to targets in tissue cryosections and amplify signals. Samples were imaged on an Olympus BX41 Phase Contrast & Darkfield Microscope (Olympus Cat #BX41-PH-B) and images were acquired using the Olympus CellSens software and Olympus DP25 5MP Color Firewire Camera.

Mammary fat pads or EO771 tumors were isolated and fixed in 2% paraformaldehyde solution for 2 hours at room temperature. Tissues were subsequently dehydrated in 30% sucrose solution overnight before being frozen in Tissue-Tek® “optimal cutting temperature” (O.C.T.) compound (#4583, Sakura). Seven-micron sections were mounted onto Fisherbrand Superfrost Plus microscope slides (12–550-15, Fisher Scientific) using a Cryostat (CM1860, Leica) set to −30°C. Sections were secondarily fixed in acetone for 10 minutes at 20°C, air dried, and rehydrated with PBS. Slides were blocked with 5% BSA for 1 hour and stained with primary antibodies before nuclear staining with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride (DAPI). After staining slides were mounted with ProLong Diamond Antifade (P36970, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and imaged on a Leica DM6000 B microscope. Adobe Photoshop was used for image processing.

Tissue Preparation for Brain Injury Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Both injured and sham control swine were euthanized at the post injury time points noted above as previously described [32 (link), 33 (link)]. Briefly, transcardial perfusion was performed under surgical plane anesthesia using heparinized saline (2L) followed by 10 % neutral buffered formalin (NBF) (8L). The brain was removed, extracted, and post-fixed in 10% NBF for 1 week. Thereafter, the brains were sectioned at 5mm in the coronal plane, with tissue sections processed for standard paraffin embedding in an automated tissue processor (Shandon Scientific Instruments, Pittsburgh, PA). Serial sections (8 μm) were cut on a Leitz rotary microtome (Leica, Malvern, PA) then mounted on Fisherbrand Superfrost/Plus microscope slides (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh).
For human brain tissue preparation, the intact brain was immersed in 10% formol saline at autopsy and fixed for at least 3-weeks prior to dissection. Sampling was achieved using a standardized protocol and paraffin embedding was performed as described previously [24 (link)]. The region of cingulate gyrus including corpus callosum was selected in this study given its midline location containing white matter and known susceptibility to injury [1 (link), 2 (link), 29 (link), 31 (link), 32 (link), 36 (link)].

Mouse Skin Sectioning and Preservation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Glabrous skin from the hindpaw and hairy skin from the back of the mouse were depilated with Surgi Cream-Extra Gentle for Face (Ardell, Los Angeles, CA, USA) and removed by blunt-dissection. Skin pieces were spread on an index card with the epidermal surface up, fixed in 4% PFA for 20 minutes, washed three times in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for 5 minutes/wash, then sunk in 30% sucrose in PBS for 24h. The skin was removed, embedded in Tissue-Tek OCT compound (Sakura Finetek, Torrance, CA, USA), and frozen. Samples were cut in a cross-sectional plane at 25μm thickness using a Microm™ HM 525 Cryostat (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and were thaw mounted onto Fisherbrand Superfrost Plus microscope slides (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA, USA). Slides with sections were kept at −80°C until use.

Fiber-type specific satellite cell analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemical techniques were conducted as previously described (Fry et al. 2014b, 2016). Samples were removed from cork at −25°C in a cryostat (Thermo HM525‐NX) where serial sections were cut (7 μm). Pre and post samples for the same subject were placed on the same Fisherbrand Superfrost®/Plus microscope slides (Fisher Scientific) for analysis of; (1) fiber‐type specific satellite cell (Pax7+) content and myonuceli, (2) double stain of proliferative (Ki67+) satellite cells (Pax7+) and (3) proliferative MyoD+ cells. Following cutting, hydrophobic marker was used to separate the sections, dried at room temperature and then stored at −20°C until analysis. Only 9 of the +EAA and 5 of the −EAA subjects had suitable muscle cross‐sections for analysis.

Comprehensive Tumor Characterization Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumors were harvested at sacrifice at day 20, weighed and either snap-frozen, and processed for histology, immunohistochemistry, immunoblot, and flow cytometry analyses. Tumors were paraffin-embedded and 5 μm sections were placed on Fisherbrand Superfrost Plus Microscope Slides (Fisher Scientific), deparaffinized, treated with Retrievit-6 Target Retrieval Solution (BioGenex), and processed for immunofluorescence and histological analyses (see below). Frozen tumor tissues were used for immunoblot analyses. In addition, portions of mouse tumors were minced and digested with 0.1% collagenase I (Worthington) at 37 °C for 1 h. Cells were passed through 70 μm mesh and washed twice, and the resulting single-cell suspension was used for flow cytometric analysis and sorting.

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.
