VEGF and p-VEGFR2 were examined on 8 μm cryosections (on day 7 after laser photocoagulation). The cryosections were blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin for 4 h at RT, then incubated with VEGF antibody (1:50) and p-VEGFR2 antibody (1:50) at 4 °C overnight. For VEGF and p-VEGFR2 staining, antigen retrieval was obtained through heated water bath at 37 °C for 10 min. Thereafter, the slides were stained with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:200; #A27034, Thermo Fisher Scientific), Alexa Fluor 546-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:200; #A11030, Thermo Fisher Scientific), and DAPI (1:500).

We performed a series of confocal microscopy image acquisition on 16-h co-cultured cells. Cells were fixed with a 10% formalin solution neutrally buffered (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) at RT for 15 min and were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 15 min. Cells were then washed two times with PBS and were blocked in 0.5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS for 20 min before incubating overnight with the primary mouse monoclonal anti-CD31 antibody (1:500 clone JC/70A, AbCam, Cambridge, UK) and a mouse monoclonal anti-CD42b-FITC antibody (1:500; eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA). The secondary antibody for the anti-CD31 was Alexa Fluor 546-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1:1,000; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). About 4′,6-diaminophenyl-indole (DAPI) in ProLong® Gold Antifade Mountant (Thermo-Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) was used for nucleic acid staining. Confocal images were obtained with a Nikon A1 MP confocal scanning system connected to an Eclipse T-i microscope, with an × 40 objective plus further 1 and × 3 magnification, acquired by Nis-Elements imaging software, and were analyzed by the processing Image-J/Fiji software (LOCI, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA). The degree of co-localization was quantified using Mander's overlap coefficient (MOC). Data are presented as mean ± SEM with respect to untreated samples, from a minimum of 50 cells.

Immunofluorescence staining was performed as previously described.18 (link) In brief, HCASMCs were seeded on sterile coverslips that had previously been coated with 200 μL of 0.3% gelatin at room temperature for 30 minutes. After the cell confluence reached 90%–100%, the cells were preincubated with or without hesperetin for 30 minutes and then treated with SPC for 10 minutes. Next, the HCASMCs were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 2 minutes, blocked in NanoBio blocker solution (NanoBio Tech Co, Ltd, NY), and diluted in PBS for 60 minutes at room temperature. After that, the HCASMCs were stained with primary anti-ROCK (dilution time: 1:100; sc-1851, Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX) and anti-Fyn (dilution time: 1:100; 610164, BD Biosciences, NY) antibodies at 4°C overnight, followed by staining with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated donkey antigoat IgG (A32814; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and Alexa Fluor 546-conjugated goat antimouse IgG (A11003; Thermo Fisher Scientific) secondary antibodies. Before observation, the cells were mounted with PermaFluor aqueous mounting medium (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The field of view was randomly selected to observe stained cells under an all-in-one fluorescence microscope BZ-9000 (Keyence, Osaka, Japan). Fluorescence intensity profile analysis was performed using Image J software.

The cells grown on Lab‐Tek plates or coverslips were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde in PBS for 15 min. After two washes with PBS, the cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X‐100, transferred into a blocking solution (20% goat serum in PBS) for 30 min, and incubated with mouse anti‐acetylated tubulin (Ac‐tub) (T7451; Sigma‐Aldrich; 1:2000) and rabbit anti‐GFP (598; MBL; 1:2000) primary antibodies for 16–24 h at 4°C. The bound antibodies were detected using appropriate secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 546‐conjugated goat anti‐mouse IgG or Alexa Fluor 488‐conjugated goat anti‐rabbit IgG; Life Technologies Co.).45 (link) Because primary cilium in vitro cell culture is usually lying flat along the coverslip, the length from a two‐dimensional image was measured using a line measurement tool PhotoRuler Ver. 1.1 software (The Genus Inocybe, Hyogo, Japan) under the BZ‐9000 fluorescence microscope (Keyence).

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.
