RGCs were loaded with radio immunoprecipitation assay buffer. Lysates were collected by centrifugation at 12 000 rpm for 5 min at 4 °C. Proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes for western blotting. Membranes were blocked for 1 h at RT in 5% nonfat dry milk, then incubated with polyclonal rabbit anti-parkin (1 : 1000; Abcam, USA), monoclonal rabbit anti-Bax (1 : 1000; Abcam), polyclonal rabbit anti-Bcl-2 (1 : 500; Abcam), monoclonal rabbit anti-LC3 (1 : 2000; Abcam), polyclonal rabbit anti-LAMP1 (1 : 1000; Abcam), polyclonal rabbit anti-optineurin (1 : 200; Abcam) and polyclonal rabbit anti-GAPDH (1 : 2000; Weiao Biotechnology Co, Shanghai, China) in primary antibody dilution (Weiao Biotechnology Co) at 4 °C overnight. After washing with TBST, membranes were incubated with secondary antibodies (1 : 2000; Jackson). Blots were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Weiao Biotechnology Co). Chemiluminescent images were captured on X-ray film using a developing and fixing solution in a dark room and at last analyzed with Image J (National Institutes of Health, USA).

After that, RGCs were incubated with polyclonal rabbit anti-parkin (1 : 200; Abcam) and monoclonal rabbit anti-LC3 (1 : 200; Abcam) overnight at 4 °C. After washing in PBS, RGCs were incubated for 1 h at 20–37 °C with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat IgG secondary antibody (1 : 200; Thermo Fisher, USA). After sequential washes, RGCs were stained using Hoechst 33342 (1 μg/ml; Thermo Fisher) and washed in PBS. Finally, slides were mounted with coverslips and examined under a fluorescence microscope (Leica, DM48).

Immunohistochemical staining of 7-μm frozen sections of full-thickness retina was prepared. Three sections per frozen block from each group (n = 3 retinas/group) were used for immunohistochemical analysis. Tissue sections were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 20 min at room temperature and then washed thrice with PBS. Sections were next blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin/PBS for 1 h at room temperature and then with the primary antibodies against monoclonal mouse anti-GFAP antibody (1:200; Abcam), polyclonal rabbit anti-parkin (1:200; Abcam), or polyclonal rabbit anti-optineurin (1:50; Abcam) for 16 h at 4 °C. After several washes, the tissues were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat IgG secondary antibody (1:200; Life Technologies) for 1 h at room temperature and then washed with PBS. The sections were counterstained with Hoechst 33342 (1 μg/ml; Life Technologies) in PBS. Images were captured by a confocal microscopy (Leica SP8).

Retinas (n = 3 per group) were lysed in RIPA buffer (Beyotime, China) and ultrasonically smashed on ice to get homogenized solutions. RGCs (n = 3 per group) were mixed with RIPA buffer. Equal amounts of protein were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and the electrotransferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, United States). After blocking with 5% non-fat dry milk at room temperature for 1 h, the membranes were incubated with polyclonal rabbit anti-OPA1 (1:1000; Abcam), polyclonal rabbit anti-GFAP antibody (1:10000; Abcam), polyclonal rabbit anti-Parkin (1:1000; Abcam), polyclonal rabbit anti-Bcl-2 (1:500; Abcam), monoclonal rabbit anti-Bax (1:1,000; Abcam), monoclonal rabbit anti-LC3 (1:2000; Abcam), polyclonal rabbit anti-LAMP1 (1:1000; Abcam) and polyclonal rabbit anti-GAPDH (1:2000; Yesen, China) in primary antibody dilution (Beyotime, China) overnight at 4°C. After the membranes were washed several times, secondary antibody peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:5000; Jackson) was applied. Proteins were visualized by a Kodak Image Station 4000MM PRO (Carestream, Rochester, NY, United States) using chemiluminescence detection (SuperSignal West Femto Substrate Trial Kit, Thermo Fisher). Band intensity was analyzed with Image J (National Institutes of Health).

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.
