As previously described [15 (link)], immunohistochemistry was performed on formalin-fixed 3-μm-thick paraffin-embedded sections. Briefly, sections were deparaffinized, rehydrated using an ethanol series, blocked with normal horse serum, treated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight, and incubated for 30 minutes with a secondary antibody (ImmPRESS HRP reagent kit, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). The slides were developed using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (DAB; Vector Laboratories) and counterstained with Harris hematoxylin. The primary antibodies used were anti-phosphorylated Akt1 (p-Akt1) (ab5954, 1:200, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-E-cadherin (#3195, 1:400, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), anti-transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) (ab190503, 1:500, Abcam), anti-phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK-3β) (ab131097, 1:100 dilution, Abcam), anti-β-catenin (#9562, 1:400, Cell Signaling Technology), and anti-Snail (sc-271977, 1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Staining intensity was semi-quantitatively graded in a blinded manner using the following scoring scale: 0 = absence of specific staining; 1, < 25% area with specific staining; 2, 25% to 50% staining; 3, 50% to 75% staining; 4, > 75% staining. At least 20 fields of renal cortex were investigated [16 (link)].

Western Blot Analysis of Protein Expression

30μG of total protein was separated by SDS-PAGE gel (4–20% resolving; Bio-Rad Laboratories) and transferred to a PDVF membrane. Non-specific binding was blocked by 5% BSA in tris-buffered saline for 1 h at room temperature prior to overnight incubation with primary antibody at 4 °C. Membrane was then washed and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse IgG (1:4000; Cell Signaling Technologies, Danvers, MA, USA, #7076), or goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:4000; Bio-Rad Laboratories, #1706515) for 2 h at room temperature. Protein bands were visualized using the enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Bio-Rad Laboratories). Quantification by densitometry with Image Lab™ software (Bio-Rad Laboratories) was performed using β-actin as internal control. To probe for respective proteins, we used anti-ITGAV (1:2500; Abcam, Cambridge, UK; ab179475), anti-AKR1B1 (1:1000; Abcam, ab175394), anti-TGFβ1 (1:1000; Abcam, ab190503), anti-G6PD (1:5000, Abcam, ab993) and anti-actin (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technologies, #8457) antibodies.

Total proteins were extracted from the LV and RV and protein concentrations were determined through the bicinchoninic acid method. The primary antibodies were as follows: anti-TGF-β1 monoclonal antibody (1:500; Abcam, ab190503, Cambridge, United Kingdom), anti-Smad2/3 monoclonal antibody (1:1,000; Abcam, ab202445, Cambridge, United Kingdom), and anti-pSmad2/3 polyclonal antibody (1:500; Abcam, ab63399, Cambridge, United Kingdom). Secondary antibodies were goat anti-rabbit and goat anti-mouse (KPL, Milford, MA, United States). The images were captured and semi-quantitatively analyzed by the ChemiDoc XRS + System (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, United States).

Tissues were embedded in paraffin and sliced for IHC experiment to verify the protein expression. The antibodies against Ki67 (550609, 1:50, BD Biosciences); PARP (ab32064, 1:100, Abcam); fibronectin (GTX61206, 1:250, GeneTex); MMP-9 (10375-2-AP, 1:250, Proteintech); TGF-β (ab190503, 1:100, Abcam); vimentin (550513, 1:50, BD Biosciences) and CD44 (GTX83114, 1:500, GeneTex) were used.

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.
