Tubular injuries were assessed in periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)-stained kidney sections. For the immunohistochemical staining, we used rat anti-mouse F4/80 (Serotec, Kidlington, UK) and TGF-β1 (Abcam) antibodies. A total of 8–10 high power fields (HPFs) were captured, and the mean number of positive cells was compared between the groups. Renal fibrosis was assessed by Masson trichrome staining, and the area of fibrosis was expressed as the percentage of the blue-stained area in the renal cortex and the outer medulla.

Immunofluorescence was performed on 5-μm thick formalin-fixed and OCT-embedded heart sections. Briefly, formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections were deparaffinized, followed by antigen retrieval and blocking with blocking buffer (1% BSA in 1× PBS) for 1 h [20 (link)]. Similarly, OCT-embedded sections were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min and rehydrated in 1× PBS for 30 min. Sections were then incubated with primary antibody against rat anti-mouse neutrophil (Serotec), rat anti-mouse F4/80 (Serotec), mouse anti-nitrotyrosine (anti-NT) (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), mouse anti-4-hydroxynonenal (anti-4-HNE) (Abcam), overnight in a humidified chamber at 4°C.

Staining for CD68 and F4/80 was performed on acetone-fixed frozen sections (7 µm) and endogenous biotin was blocked using a biotin blocker system (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA). For TLR4 and WT1 detection, formalin-fixed sections were deparaffinized and boiled in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Sections were then incubated with 10% normal horse serum followed by 60-minute incubation with primary antibodies: a rat anti-mouse CD68 antibody (ABD Serotec Inc., Oxford, UK), a rat anti-mouse F4/80 (ABD Serotec Inc.), rabbit anti-mouse-TLR4 antibody (Invitrogen, Catalogue No. 48-2300) for glomerular [22] (link), goat anti-mouse-TLR4 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Catalogue No sc-12511) for tubular [8] (link), rabbit anti-WT1 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), or concentration-matched IgG as an isotype negative control. The sections were exposed to H2O2 and then incubated with biotinylated anti-rat IgG or anti-rabbit IgG (BD Biosciences, Pharmingen), or anti-goat IgG (Vector Laboratories Inc). A Vector stain ABC kit (Vector Laboratories Inc) was applied to the tissue followed by DAB solution (DAKO). Immunostaining for α-SMA was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin sections using Dako ARK Peroxidase for Mouse Primary Antibodies (DAKO) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

For (immuno)histological examination, 4μm paraffin sections were cut. Tubular injury was determined on sections stained with periodic acid Schiff after diastase (PasD). The percentage of damaged tubules in the corticomedullary region and in the outer cortex was estimated by a pathologist blinded for the groups using a 5-point scale according to the presence of necrosis in 10 randomly chosen non-overlapping high power fields (hpf, magnification 400x). Injury was graded as follows: 0 = 0%, 1 = <10%, 2 = 10–25%, 3 = 25–50%, 4 = 50–75%, and 5 = >75%. Immunohistochemical stainings to detect macrophages, neutrophils, apoptosis and proliferation were performed using rat-anti-mouse F4/80 (Serotec, Oxford, UK), FITC-labeled anti-mouse Ly-6G (BD Biosciences), rabbit-anti-mouse active caspase 3 (Cell Signaling Technology, Beverly, MA, USA) and rabbit-anti-human Ki67 (clone Sp6; Lab Vision Corp.) respectively. Macrophages and apoptotic and proliferating TEC were counted in the cortico-medullar region in 10 randomly chosen, non-overlapping hpf (magnification 400x). Total number of neutrophils was counted in one kidney sections per mouse.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Macrophages were depleted using clodronate liposomes (NvR). The mice were injected i.v. with 1 ml of liposomes per 100 g on day 1 as per manufacturer’s instructions. The mice were then injected with 1x105 CFU of S. aureus NewHG (1:1:1 mixture of NewHG EryR, TetR or KanR) on day 2. Blank liposomes were used as a control. Macrophage depletion was confirmed using histology sections of the liver stained with anti-macrophage antibody (rat anti mouse F4/80, AbD Serotec, catalog number MCA497R). For antibody based neutrophil depletion, in vivo anti-ly6G mouse antibody (1A8, BioXcell, catalog number BE0075-1) was used as per the previously published protocol56 (link). The mice were injected with 1.5 mg/mouse of antibody (200 μl per mouse) on day 1 with the mice being injected with 5x105 CFU S. aureus NewHG (1:1:1 mixture of NewHG EryR, TetR or KanR) on day 2. 100 μl of blood was collected via tail bleeding at the time of S. aureus injection and at the end of the experiment via terminal anaesthesia and heart puncture. The blood samples were mixed with 20 μl of Heparin each and then stained with APC Rat Anti-Mouse Ly-6G antibody (BD biosciences, catalog number 560599) according to the BD bioscience protocol. The samples were then processed using the BD LSRII flow cytometer to confirm neutrophil depletion.

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.
