Human fresh tissues were fixed in a 4% paraformaldehyde solution. Tissue sections (5 µm) were treated with target retrieval buffer (Dako, Carpinteria, CA, USA) followed by endogenous peroxydase activity blockade with 3% hydrogen peroxide (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). Non-specific binding sites were blocked with universal blocker (BioGenex, Fremont, CA, USA). Rabbit anti-ADAM10 antibody (ab1997, Abcam, Cambridge, UK, 1/1000) was incubated 2 h at room temperature (RT) followed by incubation with a swine anti-rabbit horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-linked antibody (Dako, 1/3000) for 30 min at RT. Sections were then stained with 3,3′ diaminobenzidine tetrachloride (DAB) (Dako) and digitalized using NanoZoomer 2.0-HT system (0.23 µm/pixel (×40) scanning resolution). Quantification of ADAM10 staining in each sample was based on a score of staining intensity ranging from 0 (absence of staining) to 3 (strong staining).

For immunocytochemistry, cells were fixed with 4% PFA + 4% sucrose followed by blocking and permeabilization with 2% normal donkey serum plus 0.1% saponin for 1 h. Primary antibodies targeting either A10 (1:200; ab1997, rabbit; Abcam), PS1 (1:1,000; 13A11, mouse), or TFR (both 1:200; ab84036, rabbit [Abcam]; H68.4, mouse [Thermo Fisher Scientific]) were incubated overnight at 4°C in blocking buffer. The following day, cells were washed with PBS and treated with secondary antibody for 1 h at a dilution of 1:2,000 in PBS followed by washes with PBS. Hoechst was included in the second to last wash at a dilution of 1:2,000. All slides were mounted with Vectashield mounting medium (Vector Laboratories). 1-μm optical sections were acquired on a microscope (LSM-710; Carl Zeiss) using a 63× oil immersion objective. All images were processed and analyzed with Zen Black software (Carl Zeiss). To quantify colocalization, all images were stained together in the same session along with control samples where one or both primary antibodies were omitted (to calculate background fluorescence). Automated colocalization analysis of at least 10 images (∼40 cells) was done with Zen Black software according to documented protocols.

About 10 µg of exosomal proteins were lysed with Laemmli sample buffer (Cat. # 1610747) prior to loading onto a 10% TruPAGE™ Precast Gels (Cat. # PCG2001, Sigma-Aldrich). The resolved proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Cat. #1620167, Bio-Rad) using Trans-Blot Turbo Transfer System (Bio-Rad). Membranes were blocked in 1X TBS 1% casein blocker for 2 h at room temperature and incubated with primary antibody (1:1,000 dilution) overnight at 4 °C with slow shaking. The membrane was probed against rabbit anti-ADAM10 antibody (ab1997, Abcam), anti-glypican 1 (GPC-1) antibody (ab199343, Abcam), anti-glucose transporter (GLUT-1) antibody (ab652, Abcam), anti-CD63 antibody (ab216130, Abcam) and CD81 recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody (SN206-01, ThermoFisher Scientific). Membranes were washed three times in 1 × TBST buffer and incubated with a goat anti-rabbit IgG HPR-conjugated secondary antibody (1:5,000 dilution) for 2 h at room temperature with shaking. Pierce ECL Western Blotting substrate (catalog no. 32209, Thermo Scientific) was used to visualize specific antigen–antibody binding.

The hippocampi were homogenized in a pro-prep solution (17081, iNtRon, Gyeonggi-do, Korea) after physically mincing. The protein concentration was quantified using the Bradford reagent (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), and then denatured by boiling for 5 min, depending on the concentration of the sample. Each sample was separated by electrophoresis on 10–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. Then, the proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and blocked for 30 min with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) solution for nonspecific blocking. Membranes were incubated at 4 °C with anti-6E10 (1:1000, Sig-39320, Covance), anti-ADAM10 (1:1000, ab1997, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-BACE (1:1000, sc-33711, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), anti-GFAP (1:1000, ab53554, Abcam), anti-Iba1 (1:1000, ab15690, Abcam), or anti-β-actin (1:3000, #3700, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA). After overnight incubation, membranes were washed thoroughly in PBS-T buffer and incubated for 1 h with the corresponding secondary antibody diluted at 1:3000. The membranes were then washed, and immunoreactivity was detected using an enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (NEL105001EA, Perkin Elmer, Waltham, MA, USA).

The cells were lysed in ice-cold RIPA buffer enriched with 5 mM EDTA, Halt Protease Inhibitor Cocktail (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and 5 μM ADAM10-specific inhibitor GI254023X (Brummer et al., 2018 (link)). After brief sonication, protein samples (25 μg) were subjected to tris-glycine SDS-PAGE and transferred onto 0.45 μm PVDF membranes (Immobilon P, Merck). The membranes were stained with Ponceau S to ensure equal protein loading and images were taken. The membranes were destained, blocked in 5% non-fat dried milk in TBST and probed with rabbit-anti ADAM17 at 1:2500 (PA5-17080, Thermo Fisher Scientific) or rabbit anti-ADAM10 at 1:5000 (ab1997, Abcam) and then with HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit at 1:10,000, Sigma-Aldrich). Bands were developed with Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate (Merck) and visualized using Fusion FX (Vilber Lourmat). The exposition time was set to ‘auto’.

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.
