The skin tissue sections were dewaxed and hydrated. After antigen retrieval treatment, anti-α-SMA antibodies (1:100 dilution, ab5694, Cambridge, UK), anti-TNF-α antibodies (1:100 dilution, GTX110520, San Antonio, TX, USA), or anti-vimentin antibodies (1:200 dilution, ab92547, Cambridge, UK) were added dropwise to the tissues and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Sheep anti-murine antibody (H + L) FITC (121,051, SeraCare, Milford, MA, USA) was then added at 37 °C for 1 h. Then, the tissues were stained with a dilution of 5 mg/mL 4′,6-diamidino-2′-phenylindole (DAPI; 14,285, Cayman Chemical Company, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) for 5 min. An Olympus DP80 microscope (Olympus, Hamburg, Germany) was used to observe the expression sites and levels of α-SMA, TNF-α, and vimentin. The obtained images were analyzed using cellSens Imaging Software v.1.8 (Olympus, Hamburg, Germany). Green fluorescence was taken to indicate α-SMA/TNF-α/vimentin expression.

Fresh cells were seeded at a suitable density on microscope slides, washed three
times with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min, and permeabilized by
treating with 0.5% Triton X-100 for another 10 min. The cells were blocked by
treating with 3% bovine serum albumin (BBI, Shanghai, China) for 1 h. Rat
anti-vimentin (1:100; Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA, USA) and rabbit
anti-CD34 (1:200; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) antibodies were used. The cells were
treated with the antibodies overnight at 4°C. After washing three times with
PBS, the cells were treated with donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) Alexa Fluor 488
(1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) or goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) Alexa Fluor 568
(1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 37°C for 1 h, followed by treatment with
4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI; Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA). The
slides were fixed in an antifade medium (1:1000; Beyotime, Shanghai, China) and
imaged using an inverted fluorescent microscope (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.
