Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ki-67 staining assay was used to detect the proliferation affected by miR-1306-5p in vivo. It was performed on tumor tissue as a measurement of in situ proliferation. The 4% paraformaldehyde was used for fixing. The 0.1% sodium citrate and 0.1% Triton X were used for permeabilization. The tissues were then sliced into 4 μm sections. The 3% bovine serum albumin/5% goat serum was used for preincubation in PBS for 1 h. Primary antibodies anti-Ki67 (1 : 100, ab15580, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were added for 1 h. Peroxidase-labelled polymer-conjugated secondary antibodies (1 : 1000, ab214880, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were added for a 45 min incubation. DAKO Liquid DAB Substrate-Chromogen System was used for 5 min incubation with 3, 3′-diaminobenzidine DAB (DAKO, France). Hematoxylin was used for counterstaining. Then, the sections were dehydrated and coverslipped. The slices were incubated for 1 min by adding 150 μl hematoxylin at a dark room. And then, the slices were washed back to blue and dehydrated and sealed with neutral resin. Images were taken using immunofluorescence microscope (Leica, IX71).

IHC was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections. ACSL4 and GPX4 were detected using the rabbit anti-ACSL4 antibody (1:100; RRID: AB_2714020; Cat#ab155282, Abcam, UK) and anti-GPX4 antibody (1:100; RRID: AB_10973901; Cat#ab125066, Abcam, UK), respectively [27] (link), [28] (link), [29] (link), [30] (link).

Negative controls were treated identically without the primary antibodies.
Biopsy tissue sections were photographed using Leica Aperio CS2 digital pathology scanner (Leica Microsystems Imaging Solutions Ltd, Germany), and analyzed with 4 representative regions of tumor cells randomly captured at ×200 magnification using Leica ImageScope v12.3.2 (Leica Microsystems Imaging Solutions Ltd, Germany). The IHC staining intensity of ACSL4 and GPX4 was analyzed by Image-Pro Plus v6.0 (Media Cybernetics Inc, USA). Protein expression was presented by mean optical density, which was calculated as the integrated optical density (IOD) of positively stained area divided by tumor area in each image [31] .

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole hindlimbs were resected from each animal and placed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for fixation. Hindlimbs were subsequently rinsed in saline and decalcified with Cal-EX™ solution (Catalog # CS510-1D, ThermoFisher) for 14 days. Decalcified samples were embedded in paraffin blocks for fixation and sectioning. Coronal sections were cut to a thickness of five microns and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for histologic analysis. To evaluate synovitis, H&E sections were used to evaluate vascularity (0–2), Detritus (0–2) and Fibrosis (0–3) as previously described [15 (link)]. In addition to H&E, sections were stained for presence of osteoclasts (OC) at Day 14 and Day 56 post-injury using the OC surface marker DC-STAMP. Briefly, decalcified and rehydrated samples were blocked with 5% normal goat serum (NGS) for 1 h then incubated with DC-STAMP (Catalog # ab238151, Abcam) diluted 1:50 with NGS. Following incubation, slides were incubated in goat-anti-rabbit-HRP secondary (Catalog # ab214880, Abcam) and then developed with DAB substrate (Catalog # SK-4105, Vector labs).

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.
