The knee joints were fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin at room temperature for 24 h then decalcified in Immunocal (StatLab, McKinney, TX) for 3 days; fresh Immunocal was changed every 24 h. Tissues were processed and paraffin-embedded, then 5-μm-thick sagittal sections were generated, starting from the medial side of the knees. They were stained with Safranin-O. OARSI scoring was based on an established scoring system [39 (link)]. Synovitis scoring was based on the severity of synovium hyperplasia (score range 0–3) and inflammatory cell infiltration (score range 0–3) in the sub-synovial region [40 (link)]. All histological scoring was performed by two blinded reviewers.
For immunohistochemistry, the sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated using xylene followed by an ethanol gradient. Antigen retrieval was performed using citrate buffer (Dako, S1699) at 3 psi. The sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against GSDMD (1:200, Abcam, ab219800), followed by 1 h incubation with biotinylated goat secondary antibody (Vector Laboratories, BA-9200). DAB reagent (Vector Laboratories, SK-4100) was used for the peroxidase-substrate reaction.

Rat kidneys were routinely processed for formaldehyde fixation, embedded in paraffin and positioned to obtain complete cross sections of the kidneys at the level of the renal papilla. Sections were first cut to a thickness of 4 μm and stained with haematoxylin and eosin (HE) for routine histological examination. Von Kossa staining was performed to visualize the crystals. Subsequently, the samples were sectioned for immunostaining with specific antibodies (cleaved caspase‐1 [WL02996a; Wanleibio], GSDMD [ab219800; Abcam]) against the target proteins. The procedure was conducted using the streptavidin‐peroxidase complex. The positive areas were outlined and then evaluated by a pathologist blinded to the experimental conditions as described previously.33

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.
