Dissected hippocampal tissues were homogenized in RIPA buffer (1% NP‐40, 0.1% SDS, 0.5% PMSF, and 4% Roche protease inhibitor) by sonication. After centrifugating at 12,000g for 20 min at 4°C, the supernatant was collected and protein concentration was measured. A total cell extract containing ~30 μg of protein was subjected to SDS‐PAGE and then transferred onto NC membrane. The membrane was blocked by incubation with 5% skim milk for 90 min and then hybridized overnight with primary antibodies at 4°C. The primary antibodies used include anti‐ferritin light chain (ab109373, Abcam), anti‐ferritin heavy chain (ab183781, Abcam), anti‐TfR1 (13–6800, Invitrogen), anti‐Bcl2 (12789‐1‐AP, Proteintech), anti‐Bax (50599‐2‐Ig, Proteintech), anti‐brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) (ab108319, Abcam), anti‐furin (ab183495, Abcam), and anti‐β‐actin (CW0096, CWBIO). After washing with tris‐buffer saline with 0.05% Tween‐20, the membrane was incubated at room temperature for 90 min with anti‐rabbit or anti‐mouse secondary antibody conjugated with horseradish peroxide (Zhongshan Biotechnology). Immunoreactive bands were detected by the enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Amersham, UK) and visualized by a Bio‐Rad chemiluminescence imager.

Immunohistochemical staining was performed for Ace2 and Tmprss2.
Four-micrometer-thick serial paraffin-embedded sections were deparaffinized in xylene and dehydrated in ethanol and then treated with 3% H2O2 to block endogenous peroxidase activity and incubated with Blocking One (Nacalai Tesque, 34 Kyoto, Japan) to block non-specific immunoglobulin binding prior to immunostaining. After antigen activation, the tissue sections were probed with primary anti-Ace2 (1:300 dilution; rabbit monoclonal, Abcam, ab108252; Cambridge, UK), anti-Tmprss2 (1:1000 dilution; rabbit monoclonal, Abcam, ab92323; Cambridge, UK), and anti-Furin (1:100 dilution; rabbit monoclonal, 1 Abcam, ab183495; Cambridge, UK) antibodies, followed by probing with appropriate peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies and a (which was not certified by peer review) is the author/funder.

A RIPA protein extraction kit (Beyotime Biotechnology China) containing phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF; Beyotime Biotechnology China) was used to extract total protein. An enhanced bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) was used to determine protein concentrations. Western blotting analysis was performed according to published protocols.19 (link) The following antibodies were used: furin (1:1000, Abcam, ab183495), S100 calcium-binding protein B (S100β) (1:1000, Abcam, ab52642), SRY-Box transcription factor 9 (SOX9) (1:5000, Abcam, ab185966), polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTBP1) (1:2000, Proteintech, 12582-1-AP), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) (1:2000, Proteintech, 16825-1-AP), adenylate cyclase 3 (ADCY3) (1:1000, Proteintech, 19492-1-AP), Rab28 (1:1000, Thermo, PA5-68303), NeuN (1:1500, Abcam, ab177487), GAPDH (1:5000, Proteintech, 10494-1-AP), and horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse secondary antibodies (1:3000, Proteintech).

Lungs, heart chambers and kidneys were homogenized on ice and centrifuged at 4°C for 5 minutes at 1000 g. The homogenized tissue was then lysed in RIPA buffer (150 mmol/L NaCl, 1% NP40, 50 mmol/L Tris pH 8.0, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate and 0.1% SDS) supplemented with a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Roche) in rotation at 4°C for 20 minutes, and then centrifuged at 4°C for 10 minutes at 13300 g. The cleared supernatant was collected, and protein concentration was determined (Bradford reagent, Sigma). Equal amounts of extracted proteins (40‐60 μg) were loaded and run on a 9% SDS‐polyacrylamide gel and were transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were incubated in blocking buffer, TBS‐T (Tris‐buffered saline, 0.1% Tween 20) containing 5% (w/v) BSA, and probed with the appropriate primary antibodies: anti‐ACE2 (1:1000, goat, AF933, R&D Systems), anti‐Furin (1:1000, rabbit, ab183495, Abcam), anti‐TMPRSS2 (1:500, rabbit, ab92323, Abcam), anti‐ADAM17 (1:1000, rabbit, GTX101358, GeneTex) and anti‐GAPDH (1:500, mouse, sc‐32233, Santa Cruz).

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.
