In order to identify and analyze the distribution of transplanted cells in the spinal cords, cryosections were double-immunostained with antibodies specific to human mitochondria (hMito; 1 : 100, mouse monoclonal, Millipore, Molsheim, France) and/or Olig2 (1 : 100, rabbit polyclonal, Millipore). The sections were incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C followed by secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 or 594 (1 : 200, Invitrogen, Cergy-Pontoise, France) for 2 hours at room temperature.
For the evaluation of maturation and differentiation of transplanted cells, spinal cord sections were double-immunostained with anti-hMito and anti-MBP (1 : 200, rabbit polyclonal, Millipore) for maturation to oligodendrocytes, anti-hMito and anti-NF (1 : 200, rabbit polyclonal, Millipore) for differentiation into neurons, or anti-hMito and anti-GFAP (1 : 200, rabbit polyclonal, Millipore) for differentiation into astrocytes [25 (link)].

CC and cortices from P7, P15 and P30 WT and JNK1KO mice, after brain sectioning with Leica vibratome, were obtained by dissection. Tissue lysates were obtained adding RIPA buffer (1% NP40, 150 mM NaCl, 50 mM TRIS HCl pH 8, 5 mM EDTA, 0.01% SDS, 0.005% Sodium deoxycholate, Roche protease inhibitors, PMSF) for 10 min at 4 °C. Samples were homogenized on ice with a pellet pestle (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MS, USA) and centrifuged at 1300 rpm at 4 °C. For immunoblots, equal amounts of proteins were resolved by SDS–PAGE and blotted to nitrocellulose membranes, which were then probed with anti-MBP (1:1000, Millipore, Billerica, MS, USA—MW: 18–21 kDa), -CNPase (1:500, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MS, USA—MW: 47 kDa), -MOG (1:1000, Proteintech, Manchester, UK—MW: 25 kDa) and -SMI31 (1:1000, SMI-31R Sternberger—MW: 160–200 kDa) antibodies. The membranes were subsequently incubated with the secondary antibodies and developed using the Luminata Forte HRP substrate (Millipore, Billerica, MS, USA). Signals are normalized using anti-β-Tubulin (1:5000, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MS, USA—MW: 50 kDa) and anti-Vinculin (1:2000, Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MS, USA—MW: ~ 120 kDa) antibodies. Blots were imaged on a ChemiDoc (Bio-Rad) and analyzed using Image Lab software.

Protein Expression Analysis of Ipsilateral Brain

Western Blot Analysis was performed on lysates from ipsilateral brain samples in order to confirm our proteomics results. Equivalent amounts of protein from each sample were subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide electrophoresis using 4–12% Bis–Tris precast gels (Invitrogen, California, USA) under reducing and non reducing conditions (1h, RT) and electro-blotted onto a nitrocellulose membrane (18h, Overnight, Bio Rad). Following a blocking step (0.1% Tween-20/5% nonfat milk in PBS, 1h, RT) membranes were incubated with primary antibodies overnight (12–14 h, 4°C) with gentle agitation. The following primary antibodies were used (1:1000): Anti-MBP (Millipore), Anti-MAG (AbCam), Anti-Beta Actin (Cell Signaling). Membranes were washed, incubated with secondary antibody (RT, 1h, Cell Signaling) and developed with SuperSignal West Dura Extended Duration Substrate (Thermo Scientific).

Tissue sections from all groups were fixed in 4% PFA at room temperature for one hour. They were then washed with PBS, mounted on glass and incubated in a solution of 10% normal goat serum in PBS (MP Biomedical, UK) and 0.25% Triton X-100 (Sigma, Germany) for one hour. Next, the tissues were incubated with 100 µL of a primary antibody (anti-MBP, MBL, anti-NG2 and anti-OX-42; Millipore, Germany) at room temperature for 90 min or in the dark at 4 °C overnight. They were washed three times with PBS and stained with secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor® 633 and 488, Invitrogen, Germany) that were diluted in PBS (1:100). Of note, a few tissue sections were processed without primary antibodies in order to examine the specificity of immunolabelling with the antibodies, and this resulted in no immunostaining.

Following treatment, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS for 10 min, washed and blocked with TBS (50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl) containing 5% goat serum for A2B5 and O4 immunostaining (Li et al., 2008 (link)). After overnight incubation with mouse anti-A2B5 or O4 antibodies (1:200) and washing, the cells were incubated with fluorophore conjugated anti-mouse IgM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA; 1:1000) and post-fixed. The cells were then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X 100 in TBS (TBST) containing 5% goat serum for 1 h, and then incubated with anti-P-Stat3 (Y705, 1:100, Cell Signaling), anti-NG2 (1:200, rabbit IgG, Chemicon), anti-Olig2 (1:500, rabbit IgG, Millipore), anti-PLP (1:500; AA3), anti-MBP (1:500, rabbit IgG; Millipore) or anti-GFP (1:100; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) overnight at 4 °C. After washing with TBST, appropriate fluorophore conjugated secondary antibodies were added and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. The cells were counter stained with Hoechst 33258 (bis-benzimide, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), and images were captured using an Olympus DP70 digital camera mounted on an Olympus IX71 microscope.

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.
