A commercially available kit based on immunoperoxidase was used for immunohistochemistry (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark). Briefly, epididymal adipose tissues from WT and CKO mice on ND or HFD were fixed in 10% formalin, dehydrated, embedded in paraffin wax, and subsequently deparaffinized. Endogenous peroxidase was quenched for 30 min using Dako peroxidase solution, and tissue sections were then washed and blocked with Dako serum-free blocking solution. Sections were subsequently probed overnight at 4°C with antibodies against F4/80 (1 : 100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc., Santa Cruz, CA, USA), CD11c (1 : 200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.), CD206 (1 : 50, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.), and nitrotyrosine (1 : 200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc.). After washing in phosphate-buffered saline, sections were processed with a LSAB2 Kit (Dako) and labeled with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine for 4 min. Digital images were captured on a Zeiss microscope equipped with an Axio Cam HRC digital camera and software (Carl Zeiss, Thornwood, NY, USA) and analyzed with the open-source program ImageJ v1.34s (Rasband, WS, ImageJ, US National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Fibroblast levels of relevant proteins were assessed by Western blot as previously described (39 (link)). Briefly, fibroblasts were lysed and homogenized with lysis buffer [10 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 5 mM EDTA, 1% Triton X-100, 10 mM NaF, 1 mM Na3VO4, 10 mg/mL leupeptin, 10 mg/mL aprotinin, and 20 mM PMSF]. Proteins from each sample were separated on 10–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking with 3% bovine serum albumin (Wisent Inc, St-Bruno, QC, Canada), the membranes were probed with primary antibodies against mouse NLRP3, caspase 1 p20 (Adipogen, San Diego, CA, USA) at 1:500 dilution; pro-IL-1β (R and D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) at 1:500 dilution; nitrotyrosine (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA) at 1:1,000 dilution; and β-actin (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA) at 1:2,000 dilution. After treatment with appropriate secondary antibodies, the specific bands were detected with an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) system and quantified with an imaging densitometer (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA).

Proteins were electrophoresed on SDS polyacrylamide gels, transferred to Hybond-c Extra nitrocellulose membranes (Bio-Rad) and incubated with primary antibodies for: AKAP-12 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 1:100), Nitrotyrosine (Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 1:100), CML (Abcam; 1:200), MDA (Abcam; 1:200), PGC1-α (Santa Cruz Biotechnology; 1:100), PHB (Cell Signaling; 1:100). After washing, detection was made through incubation with peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody, and developed using an ECL chemiluminescence kit (Bio-Rad). Results are expressed as an n-fold increase over the values of the control group in densitometric arbitrary units. All Western Blots were performed at least in triplicate for each experimental condition.

Histological determinations in cardiac tissue were performed in 5 μm-thick sections. Slides were treated with H2O2 and incubated with AKAP-12 (Santa Cruz; 1:100), Nitrotyrosine (Santa Cruz; 1:5000), CML (Abcam; 1:2000), PGC-1α (Santa Cruz; 1:100) washed three times, and then incubated with the horseradish peroxidase-labeled polymer conjugated to secondary antibodies (Dako Cytomation). The signal was revealed by using DAB Substrate Kit (BD Pharmingen). As negative controls, samples followed the same procedure described above but in the absence of primary antibodies. All measurements and quantifications were performed blind in an automated image analysis system (Nikon).

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.
