Histological Analysis of Liver Tissues

The tissue isolated from WT/Chow, WT/HF, MARCKS−/−/HF and MARCKS−/−/Chow groups of mice were fixed with 10% buffered formalin, imbedded in paraffin and sliced into 4–5 µm thick sections. Following hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, the pathological changes of the liver tissues were observed under a light microscope. Hepatic lipid content in mice from WT/Chow, WT/HF, MARCKS−/−/HF, MARCKS−/−/Chow, CAL, and CAH groups was determined using 5-µm-thick frozen sections stained with Oil Red O (Sigma-Aldrich). Masson's trichrome staining was performed according to the manufacturer's instructions (Diagnostic Biosystems Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA). In addition, some tissues also were subjected to immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for the analysis of MARCKS (except for MARCKS−/−/HF and MARCKS−/−/Chow groups) and PPARα from each group of mice expression. The sections were stained with MARCKS (ab51100; Abcam, Shanghai, China) and PPARα (ab8934; Abcam). All histological examinations were carried out according to standard procedures reported previously (27 (link)). Furthermore, immunofluorescence assays for PPARα for liver tissue were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Quantifying Immune Signaling Proteins

BMDM cell lysates were obtained following infection with L. monocytogenes or from untreated samples. BMDMs were infected at MOI 100:1 for 15 min, and the media was then replaced with DMEM containing gentamicin (100 mg/ml) for a further 105 min. Samples were clarified, denatured with SDS loading buffer, and boiled for 5 min. A total of 40 mg protein lysate was fractionated on 12% SDS-PAGE, transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore) and probed with primary Abs to murine MARCKS (1:2,000 dilution, ab51100, Abcam), murine RhoB (1:1,000 dilution, sc-180, Santa Cruz) or murine β-actin (1:10,000 dilution, Clone AC-74, Sigma), incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and visualized using WesternBright ECL HRP substrate (Advansta), BD ChemiDoc system and ImageLab software.

BMDM cell lysates were obtained following infection with E. coli NCTC12900 or from untreated samples. BMDMs were infected at MOI 20:1 for 15 min, and the media was then replaced with DMEM containing gentamicin (100 mg/ml) for a further 15 min. Samples were clarified, denatured with SDS loading buffer, and boiled for 5 minutes. A total of 20 mg protein lysate was fractionated on 12% SDS-PAGE, transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore) and probed with primary antibodies to murine MARCKS (1:2,000 dilution, ab51100, Abcam) (Lejonklou et al., 2012 (link)), CDC42 (1:500 dilution, 10155-1-AP, Proteintech), iNOS (1:500 dilution, 13120, Cell Signaling Technology) or β-actin (1:10,000 dilution, A3854, 3Sigma), incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and visualized using Pierce™ ECL HRP substrate (Thermofisher) and ImageQuant LAS 4000 scanner (GE Healthcare).

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.
