After deparaffinization and rehydration, tissues underwent antigen retrieval in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer and permeabilization was performed in PBS 0.5% Triton X-100 for 3 h. Next, tissues were washed 3 × 5 min in PBS 1X, fixed in 4% formaldehyde for 5 min, washed 3 × 5 min in PBS and dehydrated in a 70%–90%–100% ethanol series (5 min each). Then, the immuno-telomere-Q-FISH with COL1A2 (Clone E-6 1:400, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), SCGB1A1/CC10 (Clone E-11 1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and p63 (Clone 4A4, Roche) antibodies was performed and analyzed as previously described50 (link),71 (link). Following the same protocol, an immuno-telomere-Q-FISH with the DNA damage marker 53BP1 (1:500, Novus Biologicals, Centennial, CO) was performed to identify telomeric induced foci (TIF) in COL1A2 (Clone E-6 1:400, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), SCGB1A1 (Clone E-11 AF488 1:100, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and p63 (Clone 4A4, Roche, Basel, Switzerland) positive cells as previously described71 (link),73 (link).

Samples were lysed in lysis buffer (50 mM Tris (pH 7.4), 150 mM KCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1% NP-40, 5 mM NAM, 1 mM sodium butyrate, protease and phosphatase inhibitors). Proteins were separated by SDS–PAGE and transferred onto nitrocellulose or polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. Blocking (30 min) and antibody incubations (overnight) were performed in 5% BSA in TBST.

Whole cell lysate (40–50 μg proteins) from each sample was mixed with sample loading buffer and separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Proteins were electrotransferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane, and blocked with 1x Tris-buffered saline-Tween 20 (TBST) containing 5% fat-free milk for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated overnight at 4°C in TBST containing 3% fat-free milk with primary antibodies (1:250 dilution). The membrane was treated with corresponding secondary anti-mouse or anti-chicken horseradish peroxidase-conjugated antibodies (1:5000 dilutions). Protein bands were developed using a SuperSignal West Femto Chemiluminescent kit and visualized using an Alpha Innotech detection system from Proteinsimple (Santa Clara, CA, USA). The intensity of protein bands was quantified by Alphaview software. The primary antibodies; δEF1 (catalog # sc-10573), pSmad2/3 (Ser423/425; catalog # sc-11769), H1 (catalog # sc-10806), α-SMA (catalog # A-7607), COL1A2 (catalog # sc-8788), and β-actin (catalog # A5316) were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA, USA). Primary antibody for NPRA was produced as previously described [16 (link), 65 ].

Upper lobe of right lungs were removed and homogenized in a tissue protein extraction reagent (Thermo, USA). The lysates were centrifuged at 16000 × g at 4 °C for 15 minutes to remove insoluble protein. The protein concentrations were determined and subsequently separated using SDS-PAGE. Separated proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Germany), blocked with 5% skimmed milk, and then incubated at 4 °C overnight using the following primary antibodies: α-SMA (ab5649, Abcam, USA), COL1A1 (sc-293182, Santa Cruz, USA), COL1A2 (sc-393537, Santa Cruz, USA), COL3A1 (sc-271249, Santa Cruz, USA), GAPDH (60004, Proteintech, USA). The membranes were washed three times, incubated for 1 hour using horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies and then visualized using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Amersham Pharmacia, Piscataway, NJ).

Cell lysates were prepared with PRO-PREP™ Protein Extraction Solution (iNtRON Bio-technology, Gyeonggi do, Korea). Total proteins were separated with a NuPAGE electrophoresis system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. Immunoblotting was performed using primary antibody against p16INK4A, p21Waf1/Cip1 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), MMP1, Col1A2, and β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA).

The expression of collagen type I alpha 2 chain (COL1A2), Runx 2, OPG, and RANKL in callus was determined by western blot analysis. Total proteins were exacted by a bone tissue protein extraction kit (BB-31813, BestBio Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China), and protein concentration was evaluated using a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein quantification kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Shanghai, China), in line with the instructions provided. Equal amounts of protein (40 μg) were separated by electrophoresis and electroblotted onto a 0.45 μm membrane. COL1A2 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), Runx 2 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), OPG (Abcam), and RANKL (Abcam) were detected with specific primary and secondary antibodies. The dilutions of the primary antibodies were as follows: COL1A2, 1: 500; Runx 2, 1: 500; OPG, 1: 1000; RANKL, 1: 500. The dilutions of the secondary antibodies were as follows: COL1A2, 1: 10 000; Runx 2, 1: 10 000; OPG, 1: 10 000; RANKL, 1: 10 000. Western blot analysis was performed according to standard procedures [10 (link)]. The optical density of the western blot bands was then determined with ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
