Neuropathological Examination of Anterior Horn

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We performed neuropathologic examinations on biopsied specimens taken from the white matter of anterior horn of lateral ventricle of Patient 5 and 7. Paraffin-embedded fixed tissue sections (7 μm) were stained with hematoxylin & eosin (H&E), and with periodic Schiff. Sections were also immunostained with a DAKO Autostainer system (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA) using EnVision FLEX DAB+ Chromogen with the following antibodies: anti-phosphorylated neurofilament (mouse monoclonal [2836], 1:100; Cell Signaling Technology); anti-CD68 (PGM1) (mouse, 1:100; Dako); anti-CD3 (D7A6E) (rabbit [85061], 1:200; Cell Signaling Technology); anti-CD20 (EP459Y) (rabbit [ab78237], 1:200; abcam); anti-Olig2 (EPR2673) (rabbit [ab109186], 1:100; abcam).

Fixed tissue blocks were immersed in 30% sucrose in PBS at 4 °C for 24 h. Later, tissue blocks were frozen using tissue freezing medium (ref. 14,020,108,926, Leica) and finally 30–40 μm slices were obtained in a CM 1860 cryostat (Leica).
Sections were marked with anti-APC antibody [CC-1] (ab16794, abcam) and polyclonal anti- Alpha/Beta-tubulin (ATN02, Cytoskeleton), Anti-Neurofilament 200 (N4142, Sigma), anti-NeuN (EPR12763, Abcam) or anti-Olig2 antibody (EPR2673, Abcam), preceded by heat-induced epitope retrieval in sodium cytrate buffer at 95 °C for 10 min, for nuclear epitopes. After washing with PBS, the sections were stained with the Alexa Fluor 555 A21422, Alexa Fluor 488 A11070 and Alexa Fluor 488 A11015 secondary antibodies (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Nuclear staining was performed with DAPI (62,248, Thermo Fisher Scientific). Myelin sheaths were stained with Fluoromyelin red (F34652, Thermo Fisher Scientific) as indicated in the datasheet. Acute tissue sections were incubated at 37 °C in SiR-tubulin (1:100 mL in HBSS, Spirochrome AG CY-SC002) for one hour prior to imaging.

Olig2-Bound Chromatin Immunoprecipitation

Embryonic dorsal forebrains (E14.5) were triturated in Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and fixed in 1% fresh paraformaldehyde in PBS for 5 min at room temperature. Fixation was quenched with 125 mM Glycine at room temperature for 5 min and washed with cold PBS twice. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed using MAGnify Chromatin immunoprecipitation system (Thermo Fisher Scientific) with minor modifications as follows. Chromatin was fragmented into 100–300 bp by setting the Bioruptor UCD-200 (Diagenode) to high power and sonicated for 3 rounds of 10 cycles (30 sec ON/30 sec OFF). For immunoprecipitation of Olig2-bound chromatin, 2 μg of anti-Olig2 antibody [EPR2673] (Abcam, ab109186) was incubated with cleared chromatin lysate and 2 μg of whole rabbit IgG was used as a control. Input and ChIPed DNA libraries were prepared using an Illumina Next Seq (single-end reads of 75 bp).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Mouse Brain

Mouse pups were anesthetized and transcardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS. The brain tissues were embedded in paraffin and sliced coronally in 5 μm. Tissue sections were dewaxed, quenched with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min, and incubated with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 30 min. The sections were stained overnight at 4 °C with either anti-ST2 (1:200, ab25877, Abcam), anti-IL-33 (1:500, AF3626, R&D), anti-GFAP (1:500, 104805-T08, Sino Biological Inc.), anti-Olig2 (1:500, EPR2673, Abcam), anti-Iba1(1:50, 20A12.1, Sigma-Aldrich), anti-Neun (1:50, A60, Sigma-Aldrich), or anti-Ki67 (1:500, ab15580, Abcam) followed by PE- or FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies (eBioscience). TUNEL staining was performed with the in situ cell death detection kit (Roche). The slides were counterstained with nuclear dye DAPI and observed on an Olympus BX51 fluorescent microscope.

The paraffin‐embedded glioblastoma tissue microarray (TMA) was used for IHC staining,23 and 40 cases of WHO grade IV glioblastomas were further analysed. The slide was performed with de‐paraffinized, rehydrated, and antigen retrieval, then blocked for at least 1 h at 37°C with 1% BSA, and then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies (anti‐c‐Jun (60A8) Rabbit mAb (1:100, CST, 9165S), anti‐c‐Jun (phospho S63) antibody [Y172] (1:100, Abcam, ab32385), anti‐CD44 Polyclonal antibody (1:100, Proteintech, 15,675‐1‐AP) and anti‐OLIG2 antibody [EPR2673] (1:100, Abcam, ab109186)). After careful washing with 1 × PBS, the slides were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)‐conjugated antibodies, DAB was used for chromogenic reaction, and the nuclei were counterstained with haematoxylin. The TMA images were taken by Vectra Polaris Automated Quantitative Pathology Imaging System. In addition, we quantitatively scored the tissue sections according to the percentage of positive cells and staining intensity. Tissues too small and/or crushed on the TMA were eliminated from analysis.

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.
