Immunohistochemistry analyses were performed as previously described6 . Briefly, slides were incubated with anti-CypA (1:100; Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA), anti-OCN (1:100; Abcam, Cambridge, MA) or anti-Cathepsin K (1:100, Abcam) overnight at 4°C, after blocking with 1% BSA. The next day, sections were incubated with biotinylated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Santa Cruz) for 1 hour at room temperature. VECTSTAIN Elite ABC complex (Vector lab, Burlingame, CA) incubation was used for primary antibody detection. Negative control sections were incubated in PBS (phosphate-buffered saline) instead of primary antibody.

Soluble recombinant mouse RANKL (sRANKL) was purchased from Peprotech (Rocky Hill, NJ, USA). The primary antibodies used were as follows: anti-TRAP, anti-cathepsin K, anti-c-Fos, anti-NFATc1, anti-Blimp-1, and anti-β-actin from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA); anti-carbonic anhydrase II, anti-cathepsin K, anti-HDAC6, and anti-IRF-8 from Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA); and anti-Calcineurin from by MyBiosource (San Diego, CA, USA). Calcineurin inhibitors FK506 and cyclosporin A were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Saint Louis, MO, USA) and Abcam (Cambridge, MA, USA), respectively; the inhibitors were dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, Sigma-Aldrich) and stored at −20 °C. HDAC6 inhibitor CKD-WID was kindly provided by the Chong Kun Dang Pharmaceutical Corp. (Seoul, Korea).

BMMs were cultured on glass or dentine slides and induced to differentiate into osteoclasts. Osteoclasts were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min then washed three times with phosphate buffered saline with Tween 20 (PBST). Cells were permeabilized in 0.1% Triton-X for 10 min and blocked for 1 h in PBST containing 2.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) and 10% normal goat serum. Primary antibody diluted in Can Get Signal immunostain solution A (Toyobo) was added for 12 h at 4 °C, followed by 1 h incubation with secondary antibody together with phalloidin-647 (Abcam) and DAPI. The following antibodies were used: anti-coronin 1A (Abcam), anti-cathepsin K (Abcam), anti-LAMP1 (Cell Signaling Technology, Biolegend), anti-LC3 (MBL), anti-rab7 (Abcam), anti-rab27a (R&D), anti-mouse Alexa Fluor 488 and anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 594 (both from Molecular Probes). Slides were imaged on LSM 710 (Zeiss) and analysed using MetaMorph software.

The method of immunohistochemical staining for rat knee sample as follow the previous studies [22] (link), [29] (link), [31] (link). Briefly, the sections were deparaffinized and dehydrated by xylene and ethanol. Endogenous peroxidase was quenched by H2O2 (3%), and the antigen were retrieved by proteinase K (20 mM; Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA). The 4% normal horse serum in PBS was used for minimizing the non-specific adsorption. And the sections were incubated with primary anti-bodies, including anti-cathepsin K (1:100; Abcam; catalogue no. ab25916; polyclonal antibody), anti-MMP9 (1:100; Abcam; catalogue no. ab76003; monoclonal antibody) and anti-MMP13 (1:100; Abcam; catalogue no. ab39012; polyclonal antibody) at overnight at 4 °C, respectively. Biotin-conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA) and avidin-biotin peroxidase in combination with an ABC kit (Vectastain ABC kit; Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA, USA) were used for specific labeling. And we use 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) to react with sample. Each section was analyzed by microscope and image output system. We acquired the immunoreactive positive cell on 200× magnification in six fields.

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.
