Hippocampa; proteins (30 μg) were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE, and the gel was cut according to the mass marker. Then the targeted proteins were transferred to 0.45 nm polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. After blocking in TBST buffer (1X TBS containing 0.1% Tween 20) with 5% (w/v) skimmed milk for 40 min at room temperature, the membranes were incubated with diluted primary antibodies (anti-VCAM-1 antibody; anti-S100A8 + S100A9 antibody; anti-CaMKK2 antibody; anti-MKK7 antibody; Abcam, China) at a dilution of 1:1000 with gentle shaking overnight at 4 °C. After washing 3 times with TBST buffer, the membrane was probed with secondary antibodies (dilution 1:5000) coupled to horseradish peroxidase at room temperature for 1 h. Densitometry analysis was performed using ImageJ software, and protein-to-β-actin ratios were expressed as the means ± SD from four independent experiments. P values were calculated using one-way ANOVA.

SPION microbubbles were dispersed in double distilled water, which was put in a centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 3 minutes, and the supernatant was discarded. SPIONs were dispersed with 0.1 mol/L MES buffer (pH 6.0), which was placed in a centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 3 min, and the supernatant was discarded. SPIONs were dispersed again by 0.1 mol/L MES buffer (PH6.0). SPIONs were added with coupling agent EDC/NHS (PLGACOOH : EDC : NHS molar ratio 1 : 10 : 20) and incubated for 30 min. Rinse 2 times with MES buffer (pH 6.0), then rinse once with MES buffer (pH 8.0), centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 3 minutes, and discard the supernatant. The contrast agent was dispersed in MES buffer (pH 8.0) and added with excess anti-VCAM-1 antibody (Abcam, USA). The molar ratio of anti-VCAM-1 antibody : contrast agent was 50 : 1 and incubated for 2 h at room temperature. Rinse twice with PBS buffer to remove unbound anti-VCAM-1 antibody. Rinse twice with pH 7.0PBS buffer, centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 3 min, discard the supernatant to retain the lower layer, and add PBS to disperse.

Comprehensive Analysis of Aortic Atherosclerosis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Atherosclerotic lesions was examined as we reported previously.25 In brief, mice were euthanized with an overdose of pentobarbital and perfused with 0.9% sodium chloride solution. The heart and aorta were removed immediately. The thoracic aorta was opened longitudinally, and the abdominal aorta was snap‐frozen in liquid nitrogen for further analyses. The severity of abdominal aortic aneurysm was determined as reported previously.26 Atherosclerotic lesions in the aortic arch were determined by en face Sudan IV staining. The characteristics of atherosclerotic plaques were examined in frozen sections of lesions in the aortic root (at 5‐μm intervals). Lipid deposition in plaques was determined by oil red O staining. The expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (VCAM‐1) and intercellular cell adhesion molecule‐1 (ICAM‐1), and accumulation of macrophages in plaques were examined by immunohistochemical staining. Sections were incubated with anti‐VCAM‐1 antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), anti‐ICAM‐1 antibody (Abcam), or anti‐Mac3 antibody (BD Biosciences, Bedford, MA), followed by the avidin‐biotin complex technique and stained using a Vector Red substrate kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Each section was counterstained with hematoxylin.

Evaluating Leukocyte Transmigration in DSS-Induced Colitis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To test whether an increased hemovascular leukocyte transmigration, rather than a reduced lymphovascular leukocyte clearance, could be responsible for the aggravated inflammatory phenotype and amplified intestinal immune cell burden seen in DSS-treated FoxC2(+/−) mice, the colonic expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and vascular adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) was evaluated in DSS-treated WT and FoxC2(+/−) mice. Colon samples were prepared as described above, immunoblotted to either nitrocellulose (ICAM-1) or polyvinyl difluoride membranes (VCAM-1) and incubated overnight with anti-ICAM-1 (1 µg/mL, Abcam) or anti-VCAM-1 antibodies (1:2000, Abcam). Band intensity (densitometry) relative to actin was quantified using NIH Image-J analysis program (imagej.net).

We added rWRS to the wells of an eight-part slide culture of HUVECs at 5 µg/mL in serum-free HuMedia-EG2 medium. After 12 h of incubation at 37 °C, the cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde. After washing the cells with PBS and then blocking them with 1% fetal calf serum, they were treated with monoclonal anti-ICAM-1 antibodies (1:200; Abcam, Tokyo, Japan) and anti-VCAM-1 antibodies (1:200; Abcam) overnight at 4 °C. The cells were washed with PBS and then treated with Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:1000; Thermo Fisher Scientific), followed by the staining of the nuclei with DAPI (1:1000; Thermo Fisher Scientific). We analyzed the treated cells using fluorescence microscopy (KEYENCE, Osaka, Japan) [61 (link)]. The fluorescence intensity was measured using the image processing software ImageJ.

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.
