Several measurements were performed on transverse slices of skin biopsies. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted with the anti-AGE antibodies anti-CML (ab30917, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and anti-Nδ-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolon-2-yl)-ornithine ([MG-H1], STA-011, cell biolabs, inc., NL) using goat anti-mouse IgG alkaline phosphatase (AP) conjugate ([Go-a-Mo-AP], D0486, Dako, Glostrup, DK) as chromogenic reporter. Histological localization of CML and MG-H1 was evaluated semi-quantitatively by two independent investigators (I.M.A and G.F.H.D). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stains were added to be able to identify individual cells.
Invasively assessed intrinsic fluorescence was measured by confocal microscopy using the ZEISS LSM 780 NLO (Zeiss, GER) and quantified by ImageJ. We used single (405nm and 440nm) and 2-photon (750nm, equivalent to 375nm) excitation, which corresponds to the excitation area of the AGE Reader.
In the second skin biopsy, including epidermis and dermis, the concentrations of CML, MG-H1 and pentosidine were assessed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry measurements (UPLC-MS/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively [20 , 21 (link), 22 (link)].

Cell lysates were prepared in RIPA buffer and Western blots were performed as previously described (67 (link)). Primary antibodies were anti-PARK7 (Santa-Cruz, clone D4, 1 : 1000), anti-PGK1 (Proteintech 17811–1-AP, 1:4,000), anti-GAPDH (Proteintech 60004–1-Ig, 1:20,000), anti–β-actin (Sigma, clone AC-15, 1:5,000), antiphospho-p53 (Cell Signaling #9284; 1:1,000), anti–P-H2AX (Millipore; 1:1,000), anti-GLO1 (1:1,000) and antimethylglyoxal (recognizing the MG-H1 modification of arginines, Cell Biolabs STA-011, 1:5,000) diluted in Tris-buffered saline (150 mM NaCl, 20 mM Tris-Cl pH 7.4, 0.05% Tween-20) containing 2% bovine serum albumin (Sigma).

Protein Expression Analysis by Western Blot

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blot analysis was performed as previously described [19 (link)]. Primary antibodies against occludin (c-term), ZO-1, and claudin-5 and secondary antibodies, Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti-mouse and Alexa Fluor 555 donkey anti-rabbit, were purchased from Thermo Fisher Scientific. To detect the formation of AGE products with MG-modification, mouse anti-methylglyoxal monoclonal antibodies (STA-011; Cell Biolabs, San Diego, CA, USA) were used. Primary antibodies against p-mTOR, t-Akt, p-Akt, t-S6K1, p-S6K1, HIF-1α, COXIV, VDAC, and Parkin (Prk8) were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (4695S, Danvers, MA, USA). Primary antibodies against t-mTOR and occludin (E-5) and the secondary antibody donkey anti-rabbit IgG-FITC were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Dallas, TX, USA). The primary antibody against LC3B was purchased from Sigma Aldrich. Primary antibodies against Glo-1 and Glo-2 were purchased from Abcam. To counterstain the total protein in the gel, Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining was used as previously described [8 (link)].

Cell extraction was performed in 1% SDS buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Roche, Penzberg, Germany). Protein concentration is determined using bicinchoninic acid assay (Pierce, Carlsbad, CA). Twenty µg of protein were separated on 10 or 12.5% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes (Roche). Blocking was performed in 5% non-fat dried milk (Biorad, Hercules, CA) in TBS-Tween 0.1% for 1 h. Membranes were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies: Argpyrimidine (1/10,000, mAb6B), MG-H1 (1/1000, STA-011, Cell Biolabs), Nrf2 (1/1000, Ab62353, Abcam), GLO1 (1/1000, #02-14, BioMac, Leipzig, Germany), β-actin (1/5000, A5441, Sigma). Membranes were then incubated for 1 h in the presence of the appropriate secondary antibody coupled to horseradish peroxidase. Immunoreactive bands were detected using ECL Western Blotting substrate (Pierce). Bands quantification by densitometry and normalization to ß actin was performed using ImageJ software (NIH, Bethesda, MD).

Isolated cardiomyocytes were simultaneously labeled with anti-RyR2 antibody (1:50, ab196355 Abcam) and anti-AGE (MAGE, 1:50 STA-011 Cell Biolabs). The secondary antibodies were conjugated to proximity ligation assay (PLA) oligo probes (PLA probe rabbit PLUS [DUO 92002] and PLA probe mouse MINUS [DUO 92004], Sigma) and were hybridized for 1h, 37°C. z-planes were acquired with a spectral confocal microscope (FluoView-1000, Olympus) and the number of positive cross-reactivity spots was quantified in backgroundsubtracted images (Image J).

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.
