The collected renal tissues of the mice were formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded and then sectioned for subsequent haematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The following procedures were performed as previously described.
Immunofluorescence staining was performed to assess the expression of AQP2 and caspase-1. For frozen-section immunofluorescence staining, sections were fixed, blocked and then stained with the primary antibodies AQP2 (1:500, PAA580Hu01; Cloud-Clone Corp., Wuhan, China) and caspase-1 (1:100, PAB592Hu01; Cloud-Clone Corp.). The fluorescent secondary antibodies were fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G (1:500, A0562; Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Ltd., Haimen, Jiangsu, China) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (C1002; Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). Sections were then mounted with anti-fade mounting medium (Abcam Co., Ltd, Cambridge, MA, USA).
FAM-FLICA kits (ICT098; ImmunoChemistry Technologies LLC., Bloomington, MN, USA) were utilized to conduct FAM-YVAD-FMK/Hoechst/propidium iodide (PI) staining according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Images were collected using a fluorescence microscope.

The immunofluorescence staining was performed as previously described (Akopian et al., 2014). Mice were anesthetized as described above and sacrificed by cervical dislocation. After fixation in 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 minutes at 26°C, the eyes were immersed in 30% sucrose overnight and then embedded in optimal cutting temperature compound (Cat# 4583; Sakura, Oakland, CA, USA). The frozen specimens were sectioned at 10 µm thickness on a glass slide. Sections were blocked with 0.5% bovine serum albumin and 0.1% Triton X-100 for 1 hour at 26°C and incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. After washing, slides were incubated with secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488/594 for 1 hour at 26°C and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (C1002, Beyotime, Shanghai, China) at 26°C for 1 hour. All antibody information was shown in Table 1. After washing, slides were mounted in Vectashield media (P0126, Beyotime). Immunolabeled images were captured using an LSM 880 confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Jena, Germany). For RGC counting using anti-RNA-binding protein with multiple splicing (RBPMS), sections were selected across the optic nerve, and RBPMS-positive RGCs were counted from one ora serrata to the other.

Immunofluorescence was applied to examine the expression of phosphor-histone H2A.X (γH2A.X) in HOKs treated with different concentrations of arecoline. After senescence induction, the cells were seeded into 24-wells culture plates at 1 ×104 per well density. The next day, the cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min. Subsequently, the cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 solution and blocked with 10% goat serum (ZLI-9056, ZSGB-BIO). After PBS washing, the cells were incubated with monoclonal rabbit anti- γH2A.X primary antibody (1:400, 9718, Cell Signaling Technology) at 4° overnight. The next day, the cells were incubated with cy3-conjugated secondary antibody (AP132C, Sigma) for 1 h in dark, and then counterstained with 4′,6-Diamidino-2-phenylindole (C1002, Beyotime) at room temperature for 1 min. Immunofluorescence images were acquired using a fluorescence microscope (Leica Microsystems, Cambridge, UK). A total of five fields in each group were selected under the microscope and the total cells and γH2A.X positive cells in each field were counted by ImageJ 5.0. The proportion of γH2A.X positive cells was obtained by calculating the ratio of the average γH2A.X positive cell number to the average total cell number in each group.

Confocal fluorescence microscopy was used for analyzing expressions of Vimentin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA). The cells were washed with ice PBS and incubated in specific primary antibodies (anti-vimentin (bs-23063R) and anti-α-SMA (bs-10196R), Bioss Inc. Beijing, China). Then cells were washed again and incubated in fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G antibody (A0562, Beyotime, China) and 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (C1002, Beyotime, China). Vimentin and α-SMA that were fluorescent labeled could be visualized by the confocal microscope.

SNU16, K562 and HGC27 cells were treated with JQ1 (2 µM), JQ1-btn (2 µM), THZ1 (1 µM), THZ1-btn (1 µM), Dox (3 µM) or Dox-btn (3 µM) for 3 h, respectively. Cells were fixed with 0.25% formaldehyde for 5 min on ice. CRC organoids were treated with JQ1 (5 µM), JQ1-btn (5 µM), THZ1 (5 µM), THZ1-btn (5 µM), Dox (3 µM) or Dox-btn (3 µM) for 6 h. Subsequently, the organoids were fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 min. After washing twice with 0.1% BSA/PBS, cells were dropped onto the slides for 2 h at room temperature. Slides were then permeabilized with 0.5% TX-100 in PBS and blocked with 3% BSA/PBS for 30 min. Finally, slides were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary rabbit monoclonal anti-biotin (CST, 5597S, 1:250 dilution), and goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 secondary antibodies (4412S, CST) were used for visualization of drug. Cell nuclei were stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (C1002, Beyotime), and the slides were scanned under a confocal microscope.

Mouse brains were removed after treatments with or without sevoflurane and stored at 4°C in 4% paraformaldehyde. Serial coronal sections (10 µm) were cut on a cryostat (CM3050 S, Leica Biosystems, Germany) and mounted on coverslips. Sections were permeabilized with proteinase K solution (20 µg/mL) for 20 min. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and dUTP (11684817910, Roche) were added to the sections and incubated in a humidified chamber at 37°C for 2 h. The reaction was then stopped and the sections were stained with 4'6'-diamidino-2phenylindole (C1002, Beyotime, China) for 10 min. Then, coverslips were mounted on glass slides with anti-fade mounting medium (P0126, Beyotime, China). Finally, the sections were analyzed under a light microscope (ECLIPSE TI-SR, NIKON, Japan) with 5X and 20X objective lenses, and photographs of the sections were taken. The number of TdT dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL)positive cells was counted using the Image J software by an investigator who was blinded to the experimental design.

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.
