Peritoneal macrophage and stromal vascular (SV) cells of epididymal adipose tissues were fractionated as described[18 (link),19 (link)]. Briefly, to get peritoneal macrophage, 5 ml of cold phosphate buffer saline (PBS) was injected into mouse peritoneal cavities immediately after anesthesia. After shaking the mice for 2-3 min, peritoneal fluid was harvested and spun down for peritoneal macrophages at 500 g for 5 min at 4 °C. The stromal vascular cells were isolated from the equal mass of epididymal adipose tissues using the collagenase digestion method. For flow cytometry analysis, same quantity cells (1 × 106) were subsequently re-suspended and stained with appropriate antibodies (F4/80 and CD11c for M1 type macrophage, or F4/80 and CD206 for M2 type macrophage) as described in our previous study[20 (link)]. Antibody information used in flow cytometry analysis is as follows: PE anti-mouse F4/80 antigen (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), FITC anti-mouse CD11c antigen (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA), purified CD16/CD32 antigen (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA), and APC anti-mouse CD206 antigen (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA). All data were collected using FACScan and analyzed using CellQuest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA).

PM were isolated as described previously [41 (link)]. Briefly, about 5 mL of cold phosphate buffer saline (PBS) was injected into mouse abdominal cavities. After vigorously shaking the mice for 2 min, solution in abdominal cavity (the PBS containing PM) was carefully collected. PM was obtained by centrifugation at 1000 g for 5 min. For flow cytometry analysis, equal amounts of the PM cells (1 × 106 in 100 μL PBS) were incubated with appropriate antibodies; PE anti-mouse F4/80 antigen (eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA), FITC anti-mouse CD11c antigen (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA), and APC anti-mouse CD206 antigen (BD Bioscience). The flow cytometry data were collected using a FACScan and analyzed with Cell Quest software (BD Biosciences). Macrophages labeled with F4/80+CD11c+CD206 were counted as pro-inflammatory M1-like macrophages and those labeled with F4/80+CD11CCD206+ were counted as anti-inflammatory M2-like macrophages.

Stromal vascular fraction was isolated as described previously [65 (link), 66 (link)]. Briefly, 1g of epididymal adipose tissue was dissected and minced in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer (KRB) containing 1 mg/ml collagenase Type I (Worthington Chemicals, Lakewood, NJ). The solution was incubated in 37°C water bath for 30 minutes. The tissue slurry was then filtered through nylon mesh to remove undigested tissue, and centrifuged at 2200 rpm to fractionate adipocytes and stromal vascular fraction (SVF). SVF cells (1 × 106 in a volume of 100 μl of PBS) were incubated with antibodies for flow cytometry analysis. The antibodies included PE anti-mouse F4/80 antigen (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), FITC anti-mouse CD11c antigen (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA), purified CD16/CD32 antigen (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA), and APC anti-mouse CD206 antigen (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA). Cells were incubated with nonspecific IgG to assess background fluorescence (BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA). The data were collected using a FACScan and analyzed using CellQuest software (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA).

HE and immunohistochemistry were performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver sections as described previously [46 (link)]. The following antibodies were used for staining: anti-α-SMA (Abcam, ab124964), anti-PCNA (Cell Signaling Technology, 2586), and anti-Ki67 (Novocastra, NCL-Ki67p).
To detect collagen deposition, paraffin sections were stained with Sirius red dissolved in picric acid solution according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
For F4/80 immunofluorescence staining, liver cryosections were fixed in precooled acetone for 10 minutes and washed with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) three times. After immersion in diluted normal goat serum, sections were sequentially incubated with anti-mouse F4/80 antigen PE (eBioscience, 12–4801) overnight at 4°C. Nuclei were stained with DAPI for 5 minutes after two washes with PBS.
TUNEL assays were performed using an Apoptosis DNA Fragmentation Assay Kit (Clontech, #630107) to detect apoptotic cells. All images were visualized using a U-RFL-T microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). The positive cells or areas were counted or measured in at least five fields on each slide using ImageJ (NIH) software.

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.
