Third‐order mesenteric arteries were isolated and cleared of adipose and connective tissues, followed by immediately fixed in 10% neutral‐buffered formalin solution. Embedded in paraffin, vessel rings were serially sectioned at 6 μm. According to the standard immunohistochemical staining procedures,29 Gpr41 and Olr59 were measured in the vessel sections using primary antibody (Gpr41, 1:100, Santa Cruz, USA; Olr59, 1:100, Sigma, USA). Nuclei were visualized with haematoxylin. Negative controls were performed by omission of the primary antibodies.
Vascular smooth muscle cells grown on coverslips were washed by PBS and fixed in 10% neutral‐buffered formalin solution. After incubation with PBST (PBS with 0.5% TritonX‐100) for 15 minutes, slides were blocked for 1 hour. Then, primary antibody of α‐SMA (Beyotime) and TRITC‐conjugated secondary antibody (Sangon) were applied. Nuclei were counterstained by DAPI (Beyotime). Negative controls were performed by omission of the primary antibodies.

Total protein was extracted from 40 mg frozen gastrocnemius muscle samples as previously described [41 (link)]. Protein concentration was measured with a Pierce BCA Protein Assay kit (23225; Thermo Scientific). Antibodies and their sources are: Adiponectin (BS6961, Bioworld), AdipoR1 (BS6797, Bioworld), AdipoR2 (14361-1-AP, Proteintech), AMPKα112 (BS1009, Bioworld), p-AMPKα1/2 (sc-33524, Santa Cruz), PGC-1α (sc-13067, Santa Cruz), UCP3 (BS2849, Bioworld), UCP2 (BS2917, Bioworld), GPR43 (sc-32906, Santa Cruz), GPR41 (sc-98332, Santa Cruz), CPT-1b (sc-20670, Santa Cruz), COX4 (MB0102, Bioworld), HDAC1 (BS6485, Bioworld), GAPDH (AP0063, Bioworld), β-actin (AP0063, Bioworld). The phosphorylated AMPK was normalized by the total AMPK.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of GPR41 and GPR43

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The distal ileum, colon, spleen, and adipose tissue were immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde. After fixation, the tissues were washed in 75% alcohol, dehydrated in a graded ethyl alcohol series (85%, 95% I, 95% II, 100% I, and 100% II), cleared in xylene, and embedded in paraffin. The tissues were serially sectioned into 4 µm-thicknesses on a rotary microtome. The paraffin sections were stained using an SABC kit (Boster, Wuhan, China), following the manufacturer′s instructions, and incubated with GPR41 (1∶50 diluted) and GPR43 (1∶50 diluted) antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Texas) at 4°C overnight. After immunoreaction, the images were captured on each slide at 400× magnification under a spot camera (Olympus, Tokyo). To check the specificity of the secondary antibody, the sections incubated without the primary antibody were stained by the secondary antibody as a negative control.

The GC cells and CD8+ T cells were fixed for 30 minutes using 4% paraformaldehyde. Antigen retrieval of mouse stomach tissue paraffin sections was performed using sodium citrate/EDTA repair fluid (Beyotime, China). The slides were washed three times in PBST and then incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature with 0.5% Triton X-100 (Solarbio, China). Non-specific protein binding sites were blocked using goat serum at room temperature. The corresponding primary antibodies (1:200) CD11c (SAB, USA), CD86 (Bioss, China), GPR109a, GPR41, HOPX (Santa Cruz, USA), CD8 (Proteintech Group, China), IFN-γ and Claudin 18.2 were added and incubated overnight at 4°C. The slides were then washed three times with PBST for 5 minutes each time. Subsequently, the appropriate dye-conjugated secondary antibodies (Cell Signaling Technology, USA, 1:400) were added and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. After washing with PBST, the slides were sealed with DAPI anti-fluorescence quenching agent (Solarbio, China) and fluorescence images were collected using a Nikon confocal microscope (Nikon, Japan). Each fluorescent tissue slide randomly selects 3–4 fields of view under a 20-fold magnification and subsequently analyzes them using Image Pro Plus 6.0 software.

Mesenteric arteries of offspring were homogenized in liquid nitrogen and lysed in RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime), containing protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Biotool). Proteins were separated by 8%‐12% SDS‐polyacrylamide gradient gels and transferred to 0.45 μm PVDF membranes. Blocked with 5% skim milk, the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies of Kcnma1 (1:500, Santa Cruz, USA), Kcnmb1 (1:1000, Immunoway, China), Gpr41 (1:500, Santa Cruz, USA), Olr59 (1:1000, Sigma, USA), Gnb5 (1:1000, Proteintech, China), PLCβ3 (1:1000, Proteintech, China) and β‐actin (1:10 000, Proteintech, China). Blots were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence detection reagents (Advansta), and specific bands were analysed using a Bioimaging System (Tanon). Protein expressions were presented as relative richness normalized to β‐actin.

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.
