Paraffin-embedded sections of the ileum and gastric antrum were dewaxed, rehydrated, and subjected to antigen heat retrieval in citrate buffer followed by blocking with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 min at room temperature. Next, sections were incubated with rabbit anti-NLRP3 (dilution 1 : 1500; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-ASC (1 : 1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and anti-caspase-1 (dilution 1 : 500; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, CA, USA) primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. After washing with PBS 3 times, slides were stained with Cy3 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG, FITC conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG, or FITC conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Wuhan Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China) secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. Sections were washed three times, and nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2- phenylindole (DAPI) for 10 min at room temperature. Images were captured using a fluorescence microscope (Eclipse C1, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). For colocalization analysis, all sections were taken randomly and analyzed using ImageJ software, and the summarized colocalization efficiency data were represented by Pearson's correlation coefficient (PCC) [36 (link)]. The fluorescence intensity of caspase-1 in each group was also measured by ImageJ software.

After cell collection and total protein extraction, the proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then transferred onto poly vinylidene fluoride membranes. The membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk at room temperature for 2 h, washed three times with tris-buffered saline Tween (TBS-T) solution and incubated with a primary antibody at 4 °C overnight. Subsequently, the membranes were incubated with anti-NLRP3 (1:1000 Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), ASC (1:1000 Affinity, America), caspase-1 (1:1000 Affinity, America), P-caspase-1 (1:1000 Abcam, MA, USA), iNOS and Arg-1 (1:1000 Zen BioScience, China) primary antibodies. The membranes were washed thrice with TBS-T and incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Sparkjade, China) for 2 h at room temperature. After subsequent washing with TBS-T solution thrice, protein bands were detected using an ECL (Affinity, America) kit. Finally, the band intensities were quantitatively analysed using ImageJ analysis software.

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.
