One‐time centrifuged adipose tissue and tSVF (controls) as well as acellular matrix of nondiabetic (NAM) and diabetic patients (DAM; n = 3) were formalin fixed and embedded in paraffin. Four‐micrometre thickness sections were cut, deparaffinized, and then incubated overnight with 0.1 M of Tris/HCL buffer (pH 9.0) at 80°C and stained with antibody against Perilipin A (1:200, Abcam) to visualize adipocytes as previously described (van Dongen, Stevens, Parvizi, van der Lei, & Harmsen, 2016). Samples were visualized under a light microscope (Leica Microsystems, DM IL). A Masson's trichrome staining and haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were performed on deparaffinized 4 μm of slides. Then samples were mounted and visualized under a light microscope (Leica Microsystems, DM IL).

Histological Characterization of Skin Lesions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Skin lesions were fixed in paraformaldehyde for at least 48 h and embedded in paraffin. Sections (5 µm) were dewaxed using graded xylene and ethanol. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) as well as Masson’s trichrome (MT) staining was conducted according to the manufacturer’s instructions. CD31 (1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA, 1:200; Abcam) and perilipin A (1:800; Abcam) were used for immunohistochemical assays. For immunofluorescence assay, sections were incubated with following antibodies: F4/80 (1:100; Abcam), GFP (1:250; Abcam), Tdtomato (1:250; Abcam), Sox9 (1:200; Abcam) and then goat anti-chicken secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 488 (1:500; Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA) and goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody, Alexa Fluor 555 (1:500; Thermo Fisher Scientific). The cell viability was tested according to Calcein/PI staining kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, Shanghai, China). Images were obtained using an Olympus BX51 microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) or fluorescence microscope (Imager Z2, Carl Zeiss) and analyzed using the ImageJ software. Number of hair follicles and sebaceous glands was count manually on the samples with H&E staining.

Histological Characterization of tSVF

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Samples of tSVF were formalin-fixed and embedded in paraffin. Then, 4 μm slides were cut, deparaffinized, and stained following the protocol previously published by van Dongen et al. 19 Samples were stained for α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA, 1:200; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) to stain smooth muscle cells, von Willebrand factor (vWF, 1:200; DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark) to stain endothelial cells, and perilipin A (1:200, Abcam) to stain adipocytes. As secondary antibodies, polyclonal rabbit anti-mouse for α-SMA, polyclonal swine anti-rabbit for vWF, and polyclonal goat anti-rabbit for perilipin A were used in 1:100 (DAKO).
A third antibody was used for the α-SMA staining (polyclonal, swine anti-rabbit, 1:100; DAKO). Masson's trichrome staining was used to stain extracellular matrix deposition.

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.
