Retinal and cellular protein were harvested and homogenized in lysis buffer (RIPA, Biocolors, Shanghai, China) containing protease and phosphatase inhibitor mini tablets (Thermo Fisher Scientific, no. 88668; Waltham, MA, USA). The protein concentration was determined with bicinchoninic acid assay. Western blotting was performed as described previously. Briefly, 30 μg of protein was loaded per lane on a 10% SDS-PAGE. The membrane blots were saturated with 5% BSA in PBST for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with antibodies against TNF-α, RIP3 and MLKL (1 : 1000, Abcam), CCL2 (1 : 1000, Novus Biologicals), RIP1 (1 : 1000, BD Bio-Sciences), IL-6 (1 : 1000, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), IL-1β, IL-23, IFN-γ (1 : 500, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and β-actin (1:2000, Abcam) were used. For the assessment of RIP1 phosphorylation, lysates were first immunoprecipitated with anti-RIP1 antibody overnight. The immunocomplexes were then analyzed by western blotting with anti-RIP1 antibody and anti-phosphotyrosine antibody (p-Ser, 1 : 200, Santa Cruz).

To observe microglial polarization, we used typical stimuli: LPS and IFN-γ for M1 polarization, and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4 and IL-13) for M2 polarization [4 (link), 16 (link)]. The microglia were divided into six groups: the control group (Con), the LPS/IFN-γ treatment group (LPS/IFN-γ), the IL-4/IL-13 treatment group (IL-4/IL-13), the Aβ1-24 treatment group (Aβ), the LPS/IFN-γ and Aβ1-24 co-treatment group (LPS/IFN-γ+Aβ) and the IL-4/IL-13 and Aβ1-24 co-treatment group (IL-4/IL-13+Aβ). Microglia in the LPS/IFN-γ and LPS/IFN-γ+Aβ groups were incubated with LPS (100 ng/mL, Sigma) and IFN-γ (100 U/mL, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 24 h. For the IL-4/IL-13 and IL-4/IL-13+Aβ groups, the microglia were incubated with IL-4 (20 ng/mL, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and IL-13 (20 ng/mL, Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 24 h. For the LPS/IFN-γ+Aβ and IL-4/IL-13+Aβ groups, the microglia were pre-incubated with Aβ1-24 (1 ng/mL, Sigma) for 2 h before LPS/IFN-γ or IL-4/IL-13 were added, and then the microglia were incubated with both Aβ and these inflammatory substances for 24 h.

IHC analysis was conducted as previously described [28]. Deparaffinized tissue sections were treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide in methanol for 10 min to remove endogenous peroxidase. Antigen retrieval was carried out with sodium citrate buffer (0.1 M) using the microwave method. The slides were incubated with normal serum to block nonspecific binding and then incubated for 1 h with primary antibodies (diluted 1:100 to 1:200) such as IFN-γ (sc-74104, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), IL-12p40 (sc-57258), IL-4 (sc-73318), IL-13 (sc-1776), TNF-α (MyBioSource, San Diego, CA, USA), and IL-6 (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA). The slides were incubated for 10 min with biotinylated secondary antibodies (Vector Laboratories, PK-7800, Burlingame, CA, USA) and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated streptavidin. Signals were detected using the 3,3-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride substrate chromogen solution, and the cells were counterstained with Mayer’s hematoxylin.

Peripheral blood was collected into heparinized tubes, diluted to 1.5 ml final volume with PBS, and stored at 4°C for <4 h. Samples were layered onto Ficoll Paque Plus, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by using a density gradient separation technique. An automated magnetic bead–based positive selection protocol was used to isolate CD4+ T cells (Stemcell Technologies, Vancouver, BC, Canada). All Western blot analyses were then performed according to standardized protocols above described. Here, primary Abs used were as follows: IL-17 (1:250; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and IFN-γ (1:250; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). Representative blot images from 3 separate analyses are given.

At 21 and 42 days of age, splenic samples of eight mice in each group were taken to determine the cytokine protein expression levels by western blot.
The spleen was ground into homogenate and then proteins were extracted with RIPA lysis buffer and kept in laemmli loading buffer. Protein samples were resolved on SDS-PAGE (10%–15% gels) and transferred to nitrocellulose filter membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% fat-free milk for 1h and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. The primary antibodies were TNF-α, IFN-γ, TGF-β, and IL-2, IL-10 (Santa Cruz, USA). The membranes were then washed with PBS-tween and incubated with biotin-conjugated secondary antibodies (Santa cruz, USA) for 1h, and washed again with PBS-tween. Blots were visualized by ECLTM (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) and X-ray film.

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.
