For immunohistochemistry,21 (link) 4-μm thick serial sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated and, after antigen retrieval and nonspecific peroxidase blocking, incubated with mouse monoclonal anti-ICAM-1 (Pierce, IL, USA), anti-eNOS (Pierce), anti-Ki67 (Ventana Medical Systems, AZ, USA), anti-BrdU (YLEM, Avezzano, Italy), anti-human CD31 (Ventana), anti-CD4 (Ventana), and rabbit polyclonal anti-VCAM-1 (Abcam, CB, UK), anti-iNOS (Pierce), and anti-PlGF (Abcam). For rat tissues, mouse monoclonal anti-rat CD31 (BD Pharmingen, NJ, USA), was used. Morphometric evaluation of immunoreactivity was performed according to defined criteria (see Supplementary Materials and Methods).

Histology and immunohistochemistry analysis was conducted as described previously [20 (link)]. Briefly, for histology stains, standard H&E was used to assess total cell infiltration. For immunohistochemistry analysis, sections were stained with primary antibodies including anti-VEGFA (Abcam, USA) for vascular endothelial growth factor expression, anti-PlGF (Abcam, USA) for placental growth factor expression, anti-NE (neutrophil elastase) (Abcam, USA) for neutrophils, anti-CD68 (Abcam, USA) for macrophages, anti-CD31 (Abcam, USA) for endothelial cells, anti-vimentin (Abcam, USA) for fibroblasts, and anti-SMC-α actin (Abcam, USA) for smooth muscle cells. Fluorescence microscopy was then used to visualize cell markers using Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated secondary antibodies. Sections were mounted with DAPI-containing mounting media (VECTASHIELD).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of ITGA6, Ki67, PLGF and CD31

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry was performed using the anti-ITGA6 (Sigma, 1:200), anti-Ki67 (Proteintech, 1:400), anti-PLGF (Abcam, 1:200) and anti-mouse CD31 (Abcam, 1:400) antibodies. Frozen or paraffin-embedded sections were used for immunohistochemical analysis. For immunohistochemical staining, tissue sections were first incubated with 0.1% trypsin at RT for 10 min followed by incubation with 0.1 μg/ml trypsin inhibitor (Sigma) for 5 min. The sections were then rinsed three times in PBS before blocking with 10% normal goat serum (15 min at RT). The sections were rinsed in PBS and incubated with a primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. Afterwards, the tissue sections were rinsed three times in PBS and incubated with the secondary antibody for 60 min at RT. The sections were then immersed in DAB for 5−10 min and counterstained with 10% Mayer’s haematoxylin. ITGA6 expression in tissues was evaluated according to the methods described by R Shao et al 37 (link).

Protein extracts were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes. Blots were blocked with 5% milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.5% Tween-20 for 1 hr at room temperature. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, followed by incubation with the horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies at 37°C for 2 hr. The immunoreactive bands were visualized using Omni-ECL™ Femto Light Chemiluminescence Kit (Epizyme, China) and imaged by the ChemiDoc XRS Plus luminescent image analyzer (Bio-Rad, USA). The antibodies used in this study were as follows: anti-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (1 : 5,000, Bioworld Technology, USA), anti-VCAM-1 (1 : 1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, USA), anti-VEGF (1 : 1,000, Abcam, UK), anti-PLGF (1 : 1,000, Abcam, UK), anti-FGF2 (1 : 1,000, Abcam, UK), anti-APLN (1 : 1,000, Abcam, UK), anti-cellular communication network factor 2 (CCN2) (1 : 1,000, Abcam, UK), horseradish peroxidase conjugated anti-rabbit IgG (1 : 5,000, Abcam, UK).

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.
