Mouse primary astrocyte and E14 primary neuronal cell lysates were fractionated using SDS-PAGE and transferred onto a PVDF (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) membrane using a transfer apparatus according to the manufacturer’s protocols (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Hercules, CA, USA). After incubation with 5% non-fat milk in TBST (10 mM Tris (pH 8.0), 150 mM NaCl, and 0.05% Tween 20) for 1 h, the membranes were incubated with anti-Sp1, anti-NeuN, anti-GFAP (Millipore), anti-MAP2, anti-SNAP25 (Abcam), anti-N-cadherin (GeneTex, CA, USA), and anti-actin (Sigma) antibodies at 4 °C overnight. The membranes were then washed with TBST and incubated with secondary antibodies (Millipore) at room temperature for 1 h blots. After washing with TBST, blots were developed using the ECL system.

Total protein samples for western blot analysis were extracted from cultured NRNs or the left ventricle and hippocampi of the mice after they were anaesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (100 mg/kg, i.p.). Mouse death was then confirmed by exsanguination according to a previously described method [31 (link)]. Hippocampi for primary cell culture were collected from neonatal Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats after the administration of 20% isoflurane and confirmation of death by cervical dislocation. Anti-SNAP-25 (1:1000, ab5666, Abcam, MA, USA), anti-VAMP-2 (1:10000, 104,211, Synaptic Systems, Gottingen, Germany) and anti-Syntaxin-1A (1:5000, 100,111, Synaptic Systems, Gottingen, Germany), anti-Munc-18 (1:1000, 116,002, Synaptic Systems, Gottingen, Germany), anti-CD63 (1:1000, ab193349, Abcam, MA, USA),were used as primary antibodies. β-actin (1:1000, G8795, Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA) was selected as an internal control. The blots were detected with an Odyssey Infrared Imaging System (LI-COR Biosciences, Lincoln, NE, USA). The final results were expressed as fold changes compared with the control values.

Hippocampal Protein Expression Analysis in Injured Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ipsilateral hippocampal tissues from sham and CCI injured mice were homogenized in RIPA buffer with protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and benzonase nuclease (Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA) and mixed by rocking at 4 °C for at least 15 min. Tissues were centrifuged, supernatant was recovered, samples were diluted and standardized to protein concentrations. Protein samples were separated on 8–10% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were then blocked with 5% milk or 5% BSA in 0.1 M phosphate buffer with 0.1% Tween-20 for 1 h at room temperature (RT) and incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies. Membranes were incubated for 1 h at RT with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson Immunoresearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA). Bands were visualized using SuperSignal substrate (ThermoScientific, Pittsburg, PA). The following primary antibodies were used: anti-GluR1, anti-NR1, anti-NR2B (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA), anti-GFAP (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA), anti-SNAP25, anti-SNAP23 (ABCAM, Cambridge, MA) and anti-β-tubulin (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) antibodies. ImageJ was used to perform density analysis. Protein measurements were standardized to β-tubulin and normalized to average WT sham signals.

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Epilepsy Model

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A total of six rats, including three control rats and three rats from pilocarpine model of epilepsy group were used for the immunohistochemistry study. Rats were sacrificed under deep ketamine and xylazine anesthesia 4 h after the first observed seizure (3–5 stage) in chronic phase. 0.3% sodium sulphide in 0.1 M phosphate buffer (PB) was used to perfusion and 4% formaldehyde in phosphate buffer was used for fixation. The fixed brains were cryoprotected with 30% sucrose and cut using a freezing microtome at a thickness of 8 µm.
For immunohistochemistry staining, hippocampus coronal sections were treated with 0.5% Triton X-100 and 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min, and then with normal goat serum (1:10). The specimens were incubated with the primary antisera (anti-ADPRC1 from SANTA CRUZ Biotechnology, USA and anti-SNAP 25, anti-calreticulin and anti-PGP 9.5 from Abcam, USA) at room temperature overnight. After proper washing (3*5 min), slides incubated with anti-mouse and rabbit fluorescent secondary antibody for 2 h. After washing step nuclear staining has been done by DAPI. Slides were washed (3*2) and mounted properly for studding by fluorescent microscope.

In brief, 30 µg total protein per sample was separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% BSA then incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4 °C. After incubation with fluorophore conjugated secondary antibodies (ThermoFisher, MA) for 1 h, bands were detected using an Odyssey scanner (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE). Signals were analyzed using NIH ImageJ software and normalized to that of β-Actin loading controls.

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.
