Hearts embedded in OCT were sectioned through the aortic root (6 μm) and stained with Oil Red O for lesion quantification using 6 sections per mouse, spanning the entire aortic root26 (link). Lesion area was quantified by digital imaging system using ImageJ software. Immunofluorescence staining for CD68 (MCA1957, rat anti-mouse Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA), smooth muscle cell α-actin (53–9760-82, ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and G3BP (ab181150, Abcam Inc., Cambridge, MA) were performed on frozen atherosclerotic sections as previously described27 (link). Briefly, after 4% PFA fixation, sections were incubated with a serum-free protein blocker solution (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA) for 1 hour, followed by an overnight incubation with primary antibodies in 1% BSA and 5% goat serum in PBS. Tissues were incubated with appropriate fluorescent labeled secondary antibodies, followed by DAPI (D9542, Sigma Inc., Cambridge, MA) nuclear stain. The sections were imaged on a Leica SP5 microscope and the ImageJ plug-in Analyze Particles was used to count the number of SGs in the aortic root. Measurements were conducted on 6 mice per group under blinded conditions.

Cultured cells were allotted a 24-hour growth period atop cover glass substrates. The initiation of the FISH assay unfolded with the application of a JAK2 mRNA FISH probe mix kit, thoughtfully crafted by RiboBio Technology (Guangzhou, China). Following the FISH experiment, the sequential undertaking of immunofluorescence ensued. A rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against G3BP1 (catalog: ab181150, Abcam, The United Kingdom) was entrusted with an overnight incubation period. Subsequent to this, the cells bore witness to staining with Horseradish Peroxidase goat anti-rabbit IgG-R (Dylight 488, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, catalog: #A23220, Abbkine). The cell nucleus was artfully stained with DAPI, imparting visual clarity to the ensuing images.

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.
