IHC slides were scanned with a light microscope. The immunoreactive score (IRS Score) was calculated by multiplying percentage of positive cells and immunostaining intensity24 (link). The final score yielded a range from 0 to 12: 0-1 was considered to be no expression, 2–4 was low expression, 5–8 was moderate expression, while >9 was high expression. Tissue specimens of normal tissues, pathological grade I, II, III, and IV were grouped into Normal, Grade low (I and II) and Grade high (III and IV) for a few of grade II according to the pathological criteria of PTC.

The formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human and mouse liver tissue sections were subjected to IHC staining. Briefly, the sections were deparaffinized, hydrated, and subjected to antigen retrieval by incubating the slides in a pressure cooker for 15 min in 0.01 M citrate buffer and then incubated with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in methanol for 10 min to block endogenous peroxidase activity. Then, the sections were incubated with primary antibodies against α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) (14395-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), NLRP3 (19771-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), GSDMD (20770-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), IL-1β (16806-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China), S100A8 (ab92331, Abcam, Cambridge, England, UK) or S100A9 (ab63818, Abcam, Cambridge, England, UK) overnight at 4 °C. The cells were washed with PBS and stained with anti-rabbit IHC Secondary Antibody Kit (SP-9001, Zhongshan Golden Bridge, Haidian, Beijing, China). Finally, the sections were visualized with 0.05% 3,3-diamino-benzidine tetrachloride (DAB) until the desired brown reaction product was obtained. The stained sections were observed and photographed under a light microscope (Nikon E400, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan).

Western Blot Analysis of Liver Proteins

Total protein was extracted from frozen liver samples by RIPA lysis buffer (Applygen, China) with protease inhibitor. Proteins were determined by the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method. Samples were centrifuged for 15 min at 4 °C and 12 000 rpm and supernatants were collected. Protein concentrations were measured with a BCA Protein Assay Kit (Pierce). After denaturation, liver protein samples were resolved by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Millipore Corp., Billerica, MA, USA). Membranes were blocked for 2 h in 1 × TBST with 5% nonfat milk. Primary antibodies against S100A8 (1:1000; ab92331, Abcam), S100A9 (1:250; ab92507, Abcam), and β-actin (1:1000; ac026, Abclonal) were incubated with the membrane overnight at 4 °C. The membranes were washed three times with TBST. The membrane was then incubated with the corresponding secondary antibodies (HRP goat anti-rabbit IgG; AS014, Abclonal) at room temperature for 1 h and finally were scanned with the Tanon 4200SF fully automated chemiluminescence image analysis system (Shanghai Tianeng Technology Co., ltd., Shanghai, China). The lanes were analyzed by Image J software.

The concentration of extracted protein was determined using the bicinchoninic acid protein assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, China). Equivalent amount of protein was separated using 10% or 15% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. After being transferred to 0.2 µm polyvinylidene fluoride membranes, protein bands were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin for 0.5 h and then incubated with primary antibody: rabbit anti-CD9 antibody (Abcam/ab92726, USA), mouse anti-Hsc70 antibody (Abcam/ab2788), rabbit anti-TSG101 antibody (Abcam/ab125011), rabbit anti-S100A8 antibody (Abcam/ab92331), rabbit anti-S100A9 antibody (Abcam/ab92507), or rabbit anti-S100A12 antibody (Abcam/ab37657) at 4 °C overnight.

HepG2 cells were seeded at a density of (4.8 × 105)/mL in 6-well plates and incubated overnight. Then the cells were pretreated with PO (0,1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4 mg/mL) for 24 h, followed by CCl4 (55% saturated solution) intervened for 4 h. HepG2 cells were collected and placed in RIPA lysis buffer (Applygen, China) with protease inhibitor and centrifuged (12 000 rpm for 5 min) to remove impurities at the end of the experiment. Proteins were determined by the bicinchoninic acid (BCA) method. Protein samples (total protein, 50 μg/lane) were separated by 12% polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and then transferred to membranes (polyvinylidene fluoride, PVDF, Millipore, USA).

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.
