The immunofluorescence staining of brain paraffin sections were performed as previously described [25 (link)]. After blocking with 5% bovine serum albumin, the sections were incubated with anti-MRTF-A (1:100, sc-398675, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), rabbit anti-β-amyloid (Cell Signaling Technology, 1:2000) or rabbit anti-LC3B (1: 500, ab48394, Abcam, MA, USA), respectively. Then, the sections were washed with 0.1M PBS and then incubated with the fluorescence-labeled secondary antibodies (goat anti-mouse/rabbit 1:200, ab150113, ab150077, Abcam, MA, USA) for 30 minutes at 37° C, and then washed with PBS. Next, the nuclei were stained with DAPI (5 μg/ml) for 2 minutes, and then analyzed with a laser scanning confocal microscope (CX31-32RFL, Olympus).

Following transfection, the cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature and then blocked with normal goat serum (Wuhan Boster Biological Technology, Ltd., Wuhan, China) for 20 min at room temperature. Following incubation with the primary antibody (cat. no. sc-398675, mouse anti-MRTF-A; 1:200; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.) in a humidified chamber overnight at 4°C, cells were incubated with the secondary antibody [cat. no. BA1101; fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG; 1:100; Wuhan Boster Biological Technology, Ltd.] for 30 min at 37°C. Subsequently, cells were incubated with DAPI (5 µg/ml; cat. no. C1005; Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) for 15 min at room temperature. Following washing with PBS, the samples were observed under laser scanning confocal microscope (magnification, ×200; Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan).

For immunocytochemical staining, the fixed mature osteoclasts were incubated with primary antibodies against Arp2 (1:50, D221703, BBI, Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China), GMFB (1:50, SP-61, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), DBP (1:150, D163666, BBI), DNase I (1:100, D222246, BBI), or MKL1 (1:50, sc-398675, Santa Cruz) at 4 °C overnight, followed by Alexa 647- and Alexa 488-conjugated secondary Abs (1:1000, abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 1 h. Images were taken on a Leica TCS SP5 confocal scanning laser microscope (Leica Laser Technik, Solms, Germany).

Immunofluorescence Staining of VSMCs

VSMCs were seeded on glass coverslips in 24-well cell culture plates at a density of 103 cells/cm2, and then incubated overnight in normal cell growth conditions. For immunofluorescence staining, cells were washed with PBS for 3 times followed by fixation and permeabilization in 75% acetone in ethanol for 5 min. Cells were then blocked with 10% goat serum for 1 h and incubated overnight with primary antibodies against SMYD2 (# 9734, Cell Signaling, RRID: AB 10889559), SM α-actin (ab5694, Abcam, RRID: AB 2223021), myocardin (sc-33766, Santa Cruz, RRID: AB 2148748), myocardin-related transcription factor-A (MRTF-A: sc-398675, Santa Cruz, RRID: AB 2142498), and MRTF-B (PA5-37105, Thermo Fisher Scientific, RRID: AB 2553910). Cells were then rinsed with PBS for 3 times and incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 or 568-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:400 dilution, Thermo Fisher). Finally, cells were counter-stained with DAPI (1:10,000 dilution, Sigma) and mounted with mounting medium. Fluorescence images of stained cells were captured via using a Leica immunofluorescence microscope.

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.
