Western Blot Analysis of Muscle Proteins

Western blots were performed and analyzed as previously described [22 (link)]. Briefly, gastrocnemius muscle samples were homogenized in RIPA buffer, and then centrifuged at 12000 × g for 30 min at 4 °C. The quantification of protein in supernatant was accomplished using a BCA kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, Wuhan, China). The protein samples were boiled in the presence of sample buffer at 95 °C for 3 min. The proteins were subjected to the separation by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), and subsequently transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. The target protein was probed by a corresponding antibody and then visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagent and imaged by the chemiluminescence imaging system Amersham Imager 680 (General Electric Company, USA). Antibodies used for Western blots were: Anti-Pax7 (Abcam, USA, ab199010), Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Abcam, USA, ab5694), Anti-LAMP2-Lysosome Marker (Abcam, USA, ab25631), Anti-Beta actin (Abcam, USA, ab8226), Anti-Cleaved LC3B (Sigma, Germany, L7S43), Anti-ARPC5/p16 ARC (Abcam, USA, ab51243), p53 (1C12) Mouse mAb (Cell Signaling Technology, USA, 1C12). Origin images of all western blot have been uploaded as a single ‘Supplemental Material’ file.

cDNA was synthesized in accordance with the instructions provided in the reverse transcription kit (Vazyme, Shanghai, China). SYBR, diethyl pyrocarbonate water, cDNA, β‐actin as the reference gene, and upstream and downstream primers were mixed proportionally to 10 μL for the polymerase chain reaction. The primer sequences are shown in Table S3.
After the concentration was determined by the BCA method, SDS/PAGE electrophoresis was performed and the target protein was transferred to the nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane was incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4 °C, followed by secondary antibody for 1 h at 37 °C. The protein was visualized with a gel imager (Bio‐Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The primary antibodies included Pax7 and anti‐MyoD (ab199010 and ab16148; Abcam); PPARγ and Glyceraldehyde 3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (16643‐1‐AP and 60004‐1‐AP; Proteintech); α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA; 19245, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA); Collagen‐1 (ab255809; Abcam); anti‐β‐actin (CW0096M; CWBIO), and TSG101 and CD9 (28283‐1‐AP and 20597‐1‐AP; Proteintech).

The gastrocnemius tissues were formalin fixed and paraffin embedded and cut into 5-μm sections using a microtome for histological analyses. The sections were stained by H&E and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. The images were examined using an optical microscope (Keyence, Osaka, Japan), and quantitative morphometric analysis was performed for each sample using Metamorph software (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). Using immunohistochemistry methods, the sections were labeled with polyclonal anti-antibody (anti-CD31; Abcam, ab28364) and were visualized by the LSAB kit (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark, K0690), which is an automated immunostaining system based on the Lepto-streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase method. Again, using immunohistochemistry, the sections were labeled with antibodies (SMA, Dako, M0851; Ki-67, Abcam, ab16667; myogenin, Abcam, ab1835; MyoD, Abcam, ab16148; PAX7, Abcam, ab199010; IPR, Abcam, ab60706), visualized using the corresponding secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488 or Alexa Fluor 555, Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA) that were counterstained by a Hoechst 33342 solution (Dojindo, Kumamoto, Japan, EJ-091), and assessed using a confocal microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Gastrocnemius muscle sections (12 μm) were fixed in pre-cooled acetone at 4°C for 25 minutes and were permeabilized for 15 minutes in 0.1 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.2% Triton X-100. The sections were blocked by 5% normal goat serum for 1 hour and then incubated with anti-Pax-7 antibody (ab199010, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA, 1: 200) or anti-BrdU antibody (ab6326, Abcam, 1: 250) and anti-laminin antibody (ab11575, Abcam, 1: 500) overnight at 4°C in PBS with 5% normal goat serum, and then with Alexa Fluor 647-conjugeted goat anti-mouse IgG (ab150119, Abcam, 1: 300) or Alexa Fluor 647-conjugated donkey anti-rat IgG (ab150159, Abcam, 1: 300) and Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (ab150073, Abcam, 1: 300) for 1 hour at room temperature. Washed sections were mounted with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (Life Technologies, Japan) for nuclei identification. Immunofluorescent signals were captured using Observer Z1 confocal microscope (Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

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.
