Dorsal skin samples were embedded in OCT and sectioned at 8 µm thickness. Sections were fixed in formalin for 10 min, followed by two H2O washes (10 min each). Sections were blocked with blocking buffer (10% donkey serum in 1xPBST) for 1 h. Primary antibodies were diluted in blocking buffer and applied to the tissue and incubated overnight at 4 °C. Secondary antibodies were diluted in 1xPBST for 1 h at room temperature following three 1xPBST washes (5 min). Sections were washed in 1xPBST three times (5 min) and mounted with Fluoroshield with DAPI (Abcam, ab104139). Images were taken using the Leica DM7200 fluorescence imaging platform with LAS X version 3.7.5. Antibodies used: F4/80 1:600 (Biolegend, Cat#123101); Ly6G 1:600 (Biolegend, Cat#127601); CD3 1:800 (Biolegend, Cat#100201); Cox-2 1:600 (Cayman, Cat#160106); Ptges2 1:200 (Abclonal, Cat#A7137); Ptges3 1:200 (Abclonal, Cat#A5194); Ptger2 1:500 (Abcam, Cat#ab167171); Cd49f 1:100 (BD Biosciences, Cat#555734); Dct 1:600 (Abcam, Cat#ab221144), together with suitable Alex Fluor secondary antibodies (Abcam, Cat#ab150072, ab150149, ab150152, Fisher, Cat#A21207)

Western Blot Analysis of Protein Targets

According to the manufacturer’s instructions, proteins were extracted using a total protein extraction kit (Keygen Biotech, Jiangsu) and detected with a bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit (Keygen Biotech, Jiangsu). Proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. These membranes were blocked with 5% fat-free milk in PBS-Tween 20 (Solarbio, Beijing) and incubated with primary antibodies against PTGER2 (1:1000; Abcam, USA), α-SMA (1:2000; Servicebio, Wuhan), Col-I (1:2000; Servicebio, Wuhan) or β-actin (1:3000; Servicebio, Wuhan). Membranes were then incubated with the proper horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated secondary antibodies (all at 1:3000; Servicebio, Wuhan). After subsequent washing, the immunoreactive bands were developed by enhanced chemiluminescence, exposed in the dark room and analyzed for densitometry.

Dorsal skin samples were embedded in OCT and sectioned at 8um thickness. Sections were fixed in formalin for 10mins, followed by two H2O washes (10mins each). Sections were blocked with blocking buffer (10% donkey serum in 1xPBST) for 1h. Primary antibodies were diluted in blocking buffer and applied to the tissue and incubated overnight at 4C. Secondary antibodies were diluted in 1xPBST for 1h at room temperature following three 1xPBST washes (5mins). Sections were washed in 1xPBST three times (5mins) and mounted with Fluoroshield with DAPI (Abcam, ab104139). Images were taken using the Leica DM7200 fluorescence imaging platform with LAS X version 3.7.5. Antibodies used: F4/80 1:600 (Biolegend, Cat#123101); Ly6G 1:600 (Biolegend, Cat#127601); CD3 1:800 (Biolegend, Cat#100201); Ccl2 1:100 (Novus, Cat#NBP1–42312); Ccl20 1:100 (Novus, Cat#AF760-SP); Cox-1 1:500 (Abcam, Cat#ab109025); Cox-2 1:600 (Cayman, Cat#160106); Ptges2 1:200 (Abclonal, Cat#A7137); Ptges3 1:200 (Abclonal, Cat#A5194); Ptger2 1:500 (Abcam, Cat#ab167171); Cd49f 1:100 (BD Biosciences, Cat#555734); Dct 1:600 (Abcam, Cat#ab221144), together with suitable Alex Fluor secondary antibodies (Abcam, Cat#ab150072, ab150149, ab150152, Fisher, Cat#A21207)

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.
