The hippocampus was imaged by magnetic resonance imaging (NiuMai, Suzhou, China). An electron microscope (Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to image neurovascular units of the hippocampus. The hippocampal neurons of normal rats were extracted by separation of hippocampal tissue with scissors and Hank’s buffer solution (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and digestion with trypsin (Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and implantation or culture with DMEM/F-12 medium (Gibco, Carlsbad, California, USA) attached 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS; Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and 1% 10 000 units/ml penicillin-10000 μg/ml streptomycin (Gibco, Carlsbad, California, USA). Cells were seeded in a 75-mm dish (Corning, Corning, USA) for 24 h and then washed twice with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Gibco, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Then, cells were incubated at room temperature for 2 h with NSE antibody (ab53025, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) mixed with TBST, and the dilution of ratio was performed according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Then, the goat anti-rabbit antibody (ab150077, Cambridge, UK) incubated cells for 2 h after the cells were washed for 3 times with TBST. ECL kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, California, USA) added to cell, then the cells were washed with PBS. DAPI mixed with PBS stained the cells for 30 min. The fluorescence of the cells was observed by fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

To assess neurogenic transdifferentiation, the cells were stained with neuron-specific enolase (NSE), Tuj-1 (Neuron-specific class III beta-tubulin) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Briefly, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min. Then the cells were permeabilized using PBS containing 0.5% Triton-X 100 (Sigma Aldrich) for 1 hour and then blocked using PBS supplemented with 4% BSA and 0.3% Triton-X 100 for another hour. After these treatments, the cells were incubated primary anti-NSE antibody (1:500, ab53025, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti-Tuj-1 (1:500, ab18207, Abcam) or anti-GFAP (1:200, ab48050, Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Immunolabeling was visualized using DyLight® 594-conjugated Donkey anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody (1: 1000, Ab96921, Abcam) for 2 h at room temperature in PBS. The nuclei were stained with 5 mg/ml DAPI for 15min and were examined on a fluorescent microscope. Digital Immunofluorescent images were obtained using an Olympus IX71 inverted microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
TUNEL assay and immunofluorescence double-labeling staining of TLR2 with NSE, GFAP or Iba1 were performed on the brains of rats in the control, HIBD and MSCs groups. Briefly, all rats were anesthetized and transcardially perfused with 4 % paraformaldehyde (Kelong Chemical Co. Ltd, China). The 12-μm slices of brain tissue were sectioned using a Leica CM3050 S cryostat. Apoptosis was detected using a TUNEL kit (KeyGEN BioTECH, China) following the manufacturer’s protocol. The number of TUNEL-positive cells was counted from four randomly selected fields in each group, and the counts were expressed as a percentage of the total number of cells.
Double stainings for TLR2 and NSE, GFAP or Iba1 were performed to evaluate their colocalization by using the following antibodies: goat anti-TLR2 (1:50, Santa Cruz, sc-16237) together with rabbit anti-NSE (1:100, Abcam, ab53025) or mouse anti-GFAP (1:100, Abcam, ab10062) or rabbit anti-Iba1 (1:50, Santa Cruz, sc-32725) overnight at 4 °C. The primary antibodies were visualized using Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated chicken anti-rabbit (anti-mouse) IgG (1:100, Life Technologies) together with Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated donkey anti-goat IgG (1:100, Jackson), and 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI, 1:100, Yeasen) was used to stain the nucleus. The images were captured using a Nikon laser confocal microscope (Nikon, Japan).

For neurogenic induction, 70% confluent gADSCs and gMDSCs were cultured in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 10 ng/mL epidermal growth factor (G5021; Promega, Madison, WI) plus 10 ng/mL basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) (G5071, Promega, Madison, WI) for 24 h. Subsequently, the medium was changed to DMEM/F12 supplemented with 1 mM β-mercaptoethanol (21985-023, Gibco, Gaithersburg, MD) and 10% FBS for 6 h for induction. The cells were then washed three times with PBS to remove β-mercaptoethanol and cultured in DMEM/F12 supplemented with 2% DMSO, 200 μM butylated hydroxyanisole (20021; Sigma–Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and 20 ng/mL bFGF. When neuron-like cells were observed, the cells were stained with neuron-specific enolase (NSE) antibody (ab53025; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and examined by immunofluorescence [11] (link).

On day 1 after the second step of induction, the ADMSCs were subjected to flow cytometry to quantify the proportion of cells with positive neurogenic markers. The cells were fixed using 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 30 min and permeabilized using 0.1% TritonX-100+2% BSA in PBS at 37°C for another 30 min. Then the cells were incubated with primary anti-NSE antibody (1:100, ab53025, Abcam) for one hour, anti-GFAP (1:100, ab10062, Abcam) for 30 min or anti-Tuj-1 (1:100, ab18207, Abcam) for 30 min. For anti NSE and anti-Tuj-1, the secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) (1:4000, ab150077, Abcam) for 30 min at 22°C. For anti-GFAP, the secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (1:500, ab96879, Abcam) for 30 min at 22°C. The proportion of cells with active neuronal markers were then analyzed using a FACSCaliber (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA). Data acquisition was done using CellQuest 3.2 software (BD Biosciences). Each test was performed with at least three repeats.

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.
