The liver tissues were isolated and pestled, and were lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay buffer. Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was performed to separate equal amounts of cell lysates, and were transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (Millipore, Burlington, MA). After incubation with the primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, and corresponding secondary antibodies for 2 hours at room temperature. Finaly, dropped electrochemiluminescence liquid for 1 minute, signals were detected using a chemiluminescence instrument (Imagequant LAS500, Cytiva, USA). Primary antibodies were as follows: CMV-IE1 and IE2 (1:500, cat. ab53495; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), P27 (1:1000, cat. A16722; ABclonal, Wuhan, China), P21 (1:1000, cat. bs-55160R; Bioss, Beijing, China), CEBPα (1:1000, cat. A0904; ABclonal, Wuhan, China), HNF4α (1:1000, cat. A13998; ABclonal, Wuhan, China), and β-actin (1:2000; Santa Cruz, CA). The secondary antibodies used were horseradish peroxidase–conjugated sheep anti-mouse IgG (1:500; Absin, Shanghai, China) and anti-rabbit (1:10,000; Absin, Shanghai, China).

Adipose Tissue and Capillary Formation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The excised neo-tissue samples from the silicone tubes were fixed in 10% formalin, dehydrated with a graded alcohol series, and embedded in paraffin. Sections with a thickness of 4 μm were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Images of the histologic sections were examined microscopically (Leica, Germany) at a magnification of ×100. To quantitatively analyze the area of intact adipocytes and the number of mature capillaries, images in 8 random fields per section from each group (×100 magnification) were examined by using ImageJ software. Immunochemical staining for C/EBP-α (Bioss, China, cat.bs1630R), PPARγ (Bioss, China, cat.bs4888R), Adiponectin (Bioss, China, cat.bs0471R), and CD31 (Sino Biological, China, cat.50408-T16) was performed to determine the extent of adipose tissue and blood vessel formation in new growth tissues at the 4th week.

The protein from cells were extracted and quantified by BCA Kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, P0012S) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE and subsequently transferred to PVDF membranes. Antibodies against PPARγ (1:1000, Bioss, bs-0530 R), C/EBPα (1:1000, Bioss, bs-24,540 R), IGF1 (1:1000, Bioss, bs-0014 R), PPARGC1B (1:1000, Bioss, bs-7534 R) or β-actin (1:5000, Bioss, bsm-33,036 M) were incubated with the membranes at 4°C overnight with constantly shaking. Then the membranes were treated with an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody. The signal was visualized with an enhanced chemiluminescence substrate.

The excised neo-tissue samples from the silicone tubes were xed in 10% formalin, dehydrated with a graded alcohol series, embedded in para n. Sections with a thickness of 4 µm were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Images of the histologic sections were examined microscopically (Leica, Germany) at magni cation of 100×. To quantitatively analyze the area of intact adipocytes and the number of mature capillaries, images in 8 random elds per section from each group (100× magni cation) were examined by using ImageJ software. Immunochemical staining for C/EBP-α (Bioss, China, cat.bs1630R), PPARγ (Bioss, China, cat.bs4888R), Adiponectin (Bioss, China, cat.bs0471R) and CD31 (Sino Biological, China, cat.50408-T16) was performed to determine the extent of adipose tissue and blood vessel formation in new growth tissues on the 4th week.

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.
