Paraffin sections were immersed in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 min in order to eliminate the activity of endogenous peroxidase. After nonspecific antigen blocking in 2% bovine serum albumin (BSA), sections were respectively incubated with rabbit anti-CaMK II (1:200, santa cruz), rabbit anti-NMDAR1 (1:400, Epitomics), rabbit anti-GAP-43 (1:300, Cell Signaling Technology) primary antibody at 4°C overnight, then with biotinylated-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:800,Proteintch) for 2 h at 37°C. Followed with avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) (1:100, Vector) for 1 h at 37°C. Immunoreactivity was visualized with diaminobenzidine (DAB, Boster Biotech).

At 3 or 12 weeks after ONC, tissues were collected after perfusion for immunostaining. Frozen sections (25 μm thickness) were prepared using a cryostat microtome (Leica, Deer Park, IL, USA ) and fixed in 4% PBS-buffered paraformaldhyde solution, and permeabilized using 0.3% Triton-X 100 and 3% goat serum in PBS for immunostaining. Tissue samples were incubated with primary antibodies diluted in PBS that contained 3% goat serum at 4 °C overnight. The primary antibodies used were rabbit anti-GAP43 (1:500, Cell Signaling, Denve, MA, USA), anti-β-III tubulin (1:500, Cell signaling) and anti-MBP (1:500, Cell signaling). After washing 3 times with PBS, the samples were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 (1:200, green) or Alexa Fluor 555 secondary antibody (1:200, red) (Molecular Probes, Waltham, MA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. The samples were mounted in fluoro mounting medium (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) and images were taken with a Zeiss LSM700 confocal microscope (Kuehnstrasse, Hamburg, Germany). The fluorescence images were analyzed using ImageJ from the National Institute of Health (Bethesda, MD, USA) to analyze the fluorescence intensities of the tissues compared with that of the control after subtracting the background value.

The following primary antibodies were used for immunocytostaining: rabbit anti-S100β (dilution = 1 : 200) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), rabbit anti-GAP43 (1 : 200) (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), rabbit anti-EGR2 (1 : 200) (Abcam), rabbit anti-NCAM (1 : 200) (Sino Biological, Beijing, China), and mouse anti-MAP-2 (1 : 200) (Abcam) antibodies. Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated anti-rabbit (1 : 500) (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated anti-mouse (1 : 500) (Life Technologies) antibodies were used as secondary antibodies. For western blotting, rabbit anti-Smad2/3 (dilution = 1 : 1000) (Cell Signaling Technology), rabbit anti-phospho Smad2/3 (1 : 5000) (Cell Signaling Technology), and rabbit anti-β-actin (1 : 5000) (Cell Signaling Technology) antibodies were used. For flow cytometric analysis, phycoerythrin- (PE-) conjugated mouse anti-human CD29 (dilution = 1 : 25) (BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA), Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated rat anti-mouse/human CD44 (1 : 25) (BioLegend), PE-conjugated mouse anti-human CD90 (1 : 5) (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA), and fluorescein isothiocyanate- (FITC-) conjugated mouse anti-human CD105 (1 : 25) (BioLegend) antibodies were used.

Tissues were homogenized in RIPA lysis buffer with 1 mM phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and 1% inhibitor cocktail (Bio Basic Inc). After 30 minutes on ice, the homogenates were centrifuged for 30 min (13,000 g, 4°C). The supernatants were collected for western blot analysis. Total protein concentrations were measuered using the bicinchoninic acid (BCA, Thermo Fisher) method. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes, which were subsequently blocked in 5% skim milk for 2 h at room temperature. The membranes were incubated with the following primary antibodies: rabbit anti-CaMK II (1:500, santa cruz), rabbit anti-NMDAR1 (1:1000,Epitomics), rabbit anti-GAP-43 (1:1000, Cell Signaling Technology), mouse anti-β-actin (1:4000; aBCAm) for overnight, then with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:4000, Proteintch) and anti-mouse secondary antibody (1:4000,Proteintch) for 2 h at room temperature.The immunopositive bands were detected by using an enhanced chemiluminescent substrate (Thermo Fisher) and a Bio-Rad ChemiDoc XRS digital documentation system (Bio-Rad). The band density was quantified using Image J software. The amount of protein expression is presented relative to the levels of β-actin.

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.
