Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tumor Samples

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tumors were harvested and embedded in tissue molds containing OCT (Sakura) and frozen on dry ice prior to storage at −80°C. IHC staining were performed at CSHL Tissue Imaging Shared Facility. OCT embedded fresh tissue blocks were sectioned with Thermo #NX50 cryostat. 10μm thick sections were collected and mounted on positive charged glass slides (VWR superfrost plus micro slide) IHC slides were stained on DISCOVERY ULTRA IHC/ISH research platform (Roche) following standard protocols. Briefly, after fixation, slides were incubated with primary antibody at 37°C for 1h and Discovery multimer detection system (Discovery OmniMap HRP, Discovery DAB, Roche) was used to detect and amplify immuno-signals. Primary antibodies: Ki67 (Thermo Fisher 14-5698-82), 1:500 dilution; Pan-CK (Novus Bio NBP1-48348H), 1:100 dilution; TREM2 (Proteintech 13483-1-AP), 1:150 dilution.

Quantitative Analysis of Liver and Macrophages

Liver tissue was harvested and snap frozen at −80⁰C until further analysis. Bone marrow was extracted from femur and tibia and differentiated into bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) as described below and previously25 . For gene expression, total RNA was extracted from ~100 mg of liver tissue, from 1×106 BMDMs or TG-Ms using RNeasy Mini Kits (Qiagen, Valencia CA, USA). Total RNA was also extracted from the formalin-fixed aortic arches used for en face analysis using an RNeasy FFPE Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA USA). 0.5–2 μg of RNA was reverse-transcribed, and the cDNA thus obtained was analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR by standard protocols using an ABI 7900HT instrument. For protein analyses, BMDMs were homogenized in cold RIPA buffer with protease inhibitors, SDS-PAGE was performed using equal amounts of protein, and Western blots were probed for Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (Trem2, Proteintech Group, Rosemont, IL, USA) and beta-actin (MilliporeSigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Western blots were imaged using a LI-COR Odyssey Fc system and analyzed using Image Studio Software (Lincoln, NE, USA).

Immunofluorescence Analysis of Kidney Tissue

For IF studies, kidney tissues were embedded at the optimal cutting temperature (OCT) immediately after the mice were euthanized. OCTembedded kidneys were cryosectioned into 5-μm sections and mounted on adhesion slides. The sections were fixed with cold methanol for 20 min, blocked with 5% v/v goat serum for 1 h at room temperature (RT), and incubated with primary antibodies against TREM2 (Proteintech, Wuhan, China), F4/80 (Servicebio, Wuhan, China), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1; Novus, Port Orchard, WA, USA), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS; Servicebio), CD206 (Servicebio), and Arg1 (Servicebio). The secondary antibodies used were Alexa Fluor 488 and Alexa Fluor 594 (Servicebio). The sections were then stained with 40, 6-diamidino-2phenylindole. All images were captured using a confocal microscope (ECLIPSE Ti; Nikon, Tokyo, 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.
