Histological Analysis of Gland Size

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HE staining was mainly used to evaluate pathological progress. Three most representative ×100 fields per slide were selected and gland number in glandular epithelium was calculated. We observed the diameter of gland in Ctrl group is about 40–50 µm, then we calculated the percentage of gland (diameter > 50 µm) in total glands to evaluate the gland size. The IHC assay was performed as described before (14 (link)). Primary antibodies to PGR, CCND1, STMN1, PCNA and TNFAIP3 were purchased from Abcam. LGR5, VIM and KRT4 antibodies were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Phosphate buffered saline (PBS) was used as a negative control.

Formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue slides obtained from psoriasis patients and normal controls were heated for 30 min at 60°C, rehydrated, and epitope retrieved with Tris-EDTA, pH 6. Slides were blocked, incubated with primary antibody APOBEC3 (LS-C98892-400; Lifespan bioscience), FOSL (A03927; Boster), IL-36G (sc-80056; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), TNFAIP3 (ab74037, Abcam), IL-17RC (LS-C400522, Lifespan bioscience), and IL-17RA (LS-C359381, Lifespan bioscience) overnight at 4 °C. Slides were then washed and incubated with Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG 594, Donkey anti-Mouse IgG 488, or Donkey anti-Rat IgG 594 (all from Invitrogen) for 1 h at room temperature. Slides were washed and prepared in mounting medium with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (VECTASHIELD Antifade Mounting Medium with DAPI, H-1200, VECTOR). Images were acquired using Zeiss Axioskop 2 microscope and analyzed by SPOT software 5.1. Images presented are representative of at least three experiments from separate donors.

Western Blot Analysis of Cell Signaling

Western blotting was performed as previously described [12 (link),13 (link)]. Briefly, cell lysates or whole retina lysates were separated onto precast tris-glycine gels (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and then blotted onto nitrocellulose membrane. After blocking in TBST, membranes were treated with Epac1, TNFAIP3, TRAF6, TNFα, phosphorylated and total NF-kB, phosphorylated and total IkB, occludin, ZO-1 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA), or beta actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) primary antibodies. Secondary species-appropriate antibodies labeled with horseradish peroxidase were applied after the primary antibodies. Chemiluminescence (Thermo Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA) was used to visualize antigen–antibody complexes. Images were acquired on an Azure C500 (Azure Biosystems, Dublin, CA), and optical densities were measured using Image Studio Lite software (Lincoln, NE).

Spinal Cord and DRG Tissue Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
This entailed the following: once the animals were anesthetized, 4% paraformaldehyde-based perfusion was done followed by sampling. The spinal cord and DRGs were embedded in paraffin and sliced as 10 micrometers thick sections employing a paraffin microtome. Subsequent toluidine blue staining entailed the use of the staining kit adhering to the prescribed protocols. Immunohistochemistry employed the use of TNFAIP3 (Rabbit, 1 : 200, Abcam, USA) followed by assessing and imaging in a confocal microscope.

Macrophage Immune Response Profiling

The levels of IL-12p40, IL-18, IL-23, TNFAIP3, IRAK-M, and Sp1 in whole-cell lysates of human macrophages were determined by ELISA (IL-12p40: Abcam, Cambridge, UK, IL-18: MBL life science, Woburn, MA, IL-23: Abcam; TNFAIP3: MYBioSource, San Diego, CA; IRAK-M, LifeSpan Biosciences, Seattle, WA; Sp1: Aviva Systems Biology Corporation, San Diego, CA) 6 h after exposure to LPS (10 ng/mL) or resiquimod (5μM) for 6 h. The levels of IL-23, IL-12p40, and IL-18 in whole-cell lysates prepared from human macrophages were determined by ELISA after sequential stimulation with LPS (0.1 ng/mL, 1 ng/mL, and 10 ng/mL for 6 h), Pam3CsK4 (1 μg/mL for 6 h) and then resiquimod (6 h). The sensitivity of ELISA for the various proteins was as follows: IL-12p40, 12.29 pg/mL; IL-18, 8.3 pg/mL; IL-23, 16.3 pg/mL; TNFAIP3, 23.5 pg/mL; IRAK-M, 0.78 ng/mL; and Sp1, 0.15 ng/mL.

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.
