Activation of p53 induces the expression of various gene products, which in turn can either prevent proliferation of damaged cells or induce apoptosis, thereby removing damaged cells from the body. 22 Phosphorylation of H2AX plays a major role in the DNA damage response and is required for the assembly of DNA repair proteins. 23 Therefore, we investigated these molecules, given their role in apoptosis and DNA damage. 9, 23 For analysis of the xenograft model, selected tumors excised from the treated and control mice were stained for anti-pH2AX and anti-p53 (Cell Signaling Technology). To further investigate the effect of EDO-S101 on DNA damage, rat spleen sections (10 mm) were also stained for anti-pH2AX and anti-p53 (Cell Signaling Technology). For analysis of the vasculitis model, kidney sections (4 mm) were stained with periodic acid-Schiff and hematoxylin and eosin stains to assess morphology as previously described. [19] [20] [21] 24 In addition to renal pathology, rats with EAV develop pulmonary vasculitis and hemorrhage as previously described 25 (see Supplementary Methods for further details).

MPPs or LT-HSCs were sorted into the slide coated with poly-l-lysine (SIGMA). Cells were placed on ice for 30 min to permit cells to settle onto the slide and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at room temperature. Cells were then permeabilized with 0.2% TritonX-100 for 15 min at room temperature and blocked with 5% goat serum for 1 h at room temperature. Cells were incubated with the anti-p-H2A.X (Cell Signaling Technology, #9718, 1:200) or anti-Tom20 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-11415, 1:500) antibody overnight at 4 °C, washed and incubated in the Alexa Fluor 568 goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, A11011, 1:1000) for 1 h at room temperature. Cell nuclei were stained with DAPI and mounted using fluorescence mounting medium (DAKO). Images were acquired with a Confocal Microscope A1R or super resolution microscope N-SIM (Nikon), and were processed with NIS-Elements software (Nikon). For quantitative analysis of mitochondrial morphology, images were first thresholded and then converted to binary images by using ImageJ software69 (link),70 (link). Individual particle (mitochondria) were analyzed for mitochondrial area and number of fragments.

In brief, band density was measured relative to the untreated control and then adjusted to tubulin as loading control. For analysis of isolated cytosolic and nuclear fractions, tubulin and Lamin B1 were utilized as loading controls and to demonstrate proper separation.

After washes, sections were mounted and coverslipped in Vectashield mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories). All the fluorescence images were captured on an LSM510 Meta confocal laser microscope (Carl Zeiss) using 40×oil immersion Neofluor objectives with the image size set at 1024 x 1024 pixels. The captured images were viewed and analyzed using LSM510 Meta imaging software. At least 4–5 representative sections per animal were utilized for immunostaining and the typical staining was selected for presentation.

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.
