Histological Analysis of Pig Brain Trauma

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Pig's head was severed through the atlanto-axial joint. The scalp was separated from the skull and the cranium was opened with frontal and temporal incisions. The dura was cut along the lateral margins and reflected up to the midline. Finally, the whole brain was removed by severing the cranial nerve roots and the spinal cord above the first cervical vertebrae. The brain was fixed in 10% formaldehyde for posterior histological and immunochemistry analyses. First, we scored presence of cerebral petechial hemorrhages upon gross examination using the following scale: 1 = low, 2 = medium, 3 = high. Secondly, to assess histological patterns, we prepared 4 μm sections of the dentate gyrus, which were embedded in paraffin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Per each section, we assessed apoptosis of five areas through light microscopy (DM250, Leica, Wetzlar, Germany): cleaved caspase-3 assay (Asp175, Cell Signaling, Asp 175, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. Danvers, MA), and TUNEL assay (In Situ Cell Death Detection Kit, Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, Ind). ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health; Bethesda, Mass) was used to quantify eosinophilic neuronal necrosis in H&E sections and immune-positive cells in caspase-3 and TUNEL assays (20) .

5-μm-sections of colonic tissue samples were fixed in 5% formalin and embedded in paraffin as previously described (Heimesaat et al., 2018 (link); Foote et al., 2023 (link)). Primary antibodies against cleaved caspase-3 (Asp175, Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, United States, 1:200), MPO7 (No. A0398, Dako, Glostrup, Denmark, 1:500), CD3 (no. N1580, Dako, 1:10), and FOXP3 (clone FJK-165, no. 14-5773, eBioscience, 1:100) were used to count apoptotic epithelial cells, neutrophils, T lymphocytes, and regulatory T cells under light microscopy. The mean number of detected cells in each blinded sample was determined within at least six high power fields (HPF, 0.287 mm2, 400 × magnification).

For immunofluorescence, DRG sections were incubated at 4°C overnight with a mixture of mouse anti-NeuN antibody (which targets NeuN, a neuron marker; MAB377; 1:200; Merck Millipore) and either mouse anti-p53 antibody (1C12; 1:200; Cell Signaling Technology) or rabbit anti-cleaved-caspase-3 antibody (ASP175; 1:200; Cell Signaling Technology). After washing in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), the sections were incubated with a mixture of fluorescein-conjugated donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody (A0453; 1:500; Beyotime) and fluorescein-conjugated goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (A0428; 1:500; Beyotime) for 1 h at room temperature away from light. The sections were washed again and dried. Finally, coverslips were placed on the slides with Gel Mount aqueous mounting medium. Images were captured using fluorescence microscopy (Olympus).

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.
