Cryo sections (15 μm thickness) were blocked in 5% donkey serum PBS/Triton X-100 0.25% for 1 hour at RT. Primary antibodies (anti α1 (1:400) (a6f-c, Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank); anti α3 (1:300) (06172, EMD Millipore, US); anti calbindin (1:400) (ab82812, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were applied in 1% donkey serum PBS/Triton X-100 0.25% overnight at 4°C. Secondary labelling was done with Alexa Fluor fluorescent-conjugated secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488 donkey anti rabbit (A21206, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA); Alexa Fluor 568 donkey anti mouse (A10037, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) (1:350) in 1% donkey serum PBS/Triton X-100 0.25% for 1 hour at RT. Hoechst (1:10000) (Life technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) in PBS was used to counterstain the nuclei. Sections were mounted using fluorescence mounting medium (Dako, Glostrup, Denmark) and analysed on a LSM510 laser-scanning confocal microscope using a 40x C-Apochromat water immersion objective NA 1.2 (Carl Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany). Zen 2011 software (Carl Zeiss, Göttingen, Germany) was used for analysis and image capturing.

Recombinant human FABP4 was labeled with Alexa Fluor 647 reactive dye (AF647, A37573, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol26 (link). Ten minutes after intravenous injection of AF647-FABP4 (15 μg/mouse in 200 μl of saline) or saline alone, kidneys were isolated, longitudinally cut into two equal halves, fixed in Carnoy’s solution (60% ethanol, 30% chloroform and 10% glacial acetic acid) for 6 hours and embedded in paraffin. Immunofluorescence analysis was performed with fluorescein LTL (FL-1321, Vector laboratories, CA) or primary antibodies against THP (sc-19554, Santa Cruz, TX) or CalD (ab82812, abcam, MA). Anti-goat and anti-mouse secondary antibodies conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 (A-110055 and R37120, respectively, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA) were used to detect THP and CalD, respectively. Images for immunofluorescent analysis were captured with Biozero-8100 immunofluorescence microscope (Keyence Corporation, Osaka, Japan).

Immunohistochemistry was performed principally by the following methods previously described27 (link). Sections were pre-treated with Proteinase K before TUNEL staining using ApopTag peroxidase in situ apoptosis detection kit (Millipore). The staining was amplified using biotin-conjugated secondary antibodies, VECTASTAIN ABC system (Vector) and TSA Plus system (Perkin Elmer). Monoclonal anti-BrdU (1:100, Clone 3D4, BD Biosciences, 555627), anti-Calbindin (1:1000, Abcam, ab82812), anti-Tuj1 (1:1,000, Abcam, ab78078), anti-Nestin (1:50, rat-401, DSHB), anti-FLAG M2 (1:50, Sigma, F1804) and anti-NeuN (1:500, Clone A60, Millipore, MAB377) antibodies were used. Polyclonal anti-HSF1X50 (link) (1:500), anti-HSF1 antibody (1:200, C-19, SCBT, sc-8061) and anti-Cutl1 (1:100, M-222, SCBT, sc-13024) antibodies were also used. The HSF1 expression pattern in Supplementary Fig. 5 was consistently obtained by using both HSF1X and HSF1 C-19 antibodies.

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.
