Immunohistochemical detection of perilipin (1:200, ab3526, Abcam Cambridge, MA, USA) was performed on formalin-fixed samples that were processed, embedded in paraffin blocks and sectioned at 5 μm. Heat-induced antigen retrieval followed by ABC detection (Vectastain ABC kit, Vector Laboratories, Inc., Burlingame, CA, USA) was performed using the protocols described previously [11 (link)]. Peroxidase activity was revealed using 3.3-diaminobenzidine (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) as a substrate. Slides were counterstained with hematoxylin and visualized using an Olympus microscope (BX43, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).
Measurements of percentage of the adipocyte area in the skin, and diameter and size of intradermal adipocytes were performed using ImageJ software version v1.52a (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) (number of mice n = 5 per group).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24–48 h, samples were embedded in paraffin and sectioned. Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) were used to examine the morphology of the implants at each study time point. Immunohistochemical staining was performed for the lipogenic marker Perilipin-1 (Abcam ab3526, Cambridge, UK, 1:1000) and CD31 (Abcam ab28364, Cambridge, UK, 1:4000) was used to locate vascular endothelial cells. Sections were scanned using a microscopic digital slice scanning system (Motic EasyScan Pro 6). Image J software was used to calculate the area proportion of panoramic Perilipin-1-positive adipocytes to assess adipogenesis in implants. The CD31-positive area proportion of 5 random fields of view (×100 magnification) was calculated to assess angiogenesis in the implants in each group.

Tissue samples were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, dehydrated, and embedded in paraffin for staining with hematoxylin and eosin (HE).
Tissue samples were immunohistochemically stained with rabbit anti-mouse histone H2AX phosphorylation (γH2A.X) (1:200, ab26350; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and rabbit anti-mouse p21 (1:200, ab188224; Abcam) primary antibodies and then with a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L secondary antibody (1:1000, ab205718; Abcam).
After grafting, tissue sample sections were immunofluorescently stained with a rabbit anti-mouse perilipin primary antibody (1:200, ab3526; Abcam), before being washed and labeled with an Alexa Fluor® 594-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (1:1000, ab150080; Abcam). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (1:10000, D9542; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). To quantitate adipogenesis, the percentage of perilipin-positive areas was determined by dividing the positive area by the total area. All images were captured with a microscope (Olympus BX63; Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Images were analyzed using ImageJ software.

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.
