Immunostaining of Adipose and Muscle Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Six animals from each group were euthanized on day 60 for immunohistochemical analysis. To carry out immunohistochemical analyses, it was necessary to first deparaffinize and rehydrate the tendon tissue paraffin sections. Next, the standard protocol was followed by incubating the tissue cells, which were taken from both the abdominal muscle and adipose part of the rats, with an Immuno-Block reagent for 30 min. After that, the cells were treated with rat primary antibodies. These antibodies were polyclonal anti-C reactive protein antibody (anti-CRP; MBS4158517; 1:200; MyBioSource) and polyclonal anti-peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma antibody (anti-PPAR-γ; MBS619780; 1:100; MyBioSource) [71 (link)]. After undergoing a counterstaining process with hematoxylin, the sections were properly dehydrated and fixed. The area of the positive signal was measured through the utilization of flow cytometry; specifically, the ZE5 Cell analyzer from Bio-Rad (Minneapolis, MN, USA). The calculation process was carried out with the aid of FlowJo® software version 10.9.

3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) turnover was used to identify potential compound effects on cell metabolism and indirectly assay changes in cell number or viability. HEK Blue reporter cells were cultured and exposed to compounds as described above and 20 µl supernatant were collected for SEAP activity assays. U937 monocyte-like cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 containing 10% FBS, differentiated by addition of 100 nM PMA for 2 days and exposed to compounds at varying concentrations or solvent for 2 days. MTT dissolved in PBS was added to the cells to a final concentration of 1 mg/ml. Cells were then incubated at culture conditions for 1 h. Supernatants were removed after centrifugation at 400xg for 5 min and the formed formazan dye was dissolved in DMSO. Absorbance was measured at 570 nm and readings were normalized to solvent treated controls.
Exclusion of Helix NIR (BioLegend) was used to assay membrane integrity following compound treatment. Culture conditions for U937 were as described above, undifferentiated cells were incubated with varying concentrations of compound or with solvent. Helix NIR was added to the cells to a final concentration of 10 nM, cells were incubated at RT for 10 min and acquired on a ZE5 Cell Analyzer (Bio-Rad). The cutoff for positive staining was set to approximately the 99th percentile of unstained cells.

Quantitative H2O2 level in human NP cells (n = 5) was determined by a Hydrogen Peroxide Assay Kit according to the manufacturer's instructions. The AbGreen reacts with H2O2 in live NP cells and produces a green fluorescence. Fluorescence intensity was quantified using the Fiji package (https://imagej.net/software/fiji/). Besides, the H2O2 level in the tissue extracts of mouse disc (n = 5) was determined by another Hydrogen Peroxide Assay Kit (ab102500) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Total polyamine in the human NP tissues (n = 3) or cells (n = 5) was determined by the Total Polyamine Assay Kit. A fluorometric probe (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm) of H2O2 or polyamine was read out by a microplate reader (BMG LABTECH, Ortenberg, Germany).
The total ROS production in human and mouse NP cells (n =5) was determined using diacetyl dichlorofluorescein (DCFH-DA) staining and analyzed by flow cytometry (ZE5 Cell Analyzer, Bio-Rad, Hercules, USA) at a wavelength of 488 nm based on the manufacturer's instructions.

Cell Cycle and Apoptosis Analysis Post-Radiation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were plated and treated with a drug for one hour before radiation treatment. Following radiation (4 Gy), cells were harvested at predetermined time points. For cell cycle experiments, cells were fixed in 70% ethanol at 6-, 16-, and 24-h post-RT. Before analysis, fixed cells were resuspended in 1× PBS and stained with propidium iodide and RNase (Qiagen 19101). For analysis of apoptosis, cells were harvested by trypsinization 48 h after radiation and stained with annexin V and propidium iodide (Roche 11858777001) immediately preceding analysis. Both apoptosis and cell cycle samples were analyzed at the University of Michigan Flow Cytometry Core using the BioRad ZE5 Cell Analyzer (Supplementary Figs. 6 and 7). Data are shown as mean ± SD for triplicate experiments.
