Paraffin-embedded kidney sections (4 μm) were deparaffanized in xylenes, rehydrated in a graded series of ethanol (100%–75%), and washed in distilled water. Then, antigen retrieval was performed and sections were incubated in 3% H2O2 for 25 min. After blocking with 3% bovine serum albumin for 30 min at room temperature, sections were incubated in specific primary antibodies overnight at 4°C. Sections were washed with phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) three times and incubated with anti-goat secondary antibody for 50 min. After another three washes with phosphate buffer, the sections were visualized by incubating with diaminobenzidine, counterstained by hematoxylin, and dehydrated.
Immunohistochemistry was performed with antibodies for DRP1 (OTI4F6; Abcam, UK), OPA1 (EPR11057; Abcam), Mitofusin1 (3C9; Abcam), and Mitofusin2 (D2D10; Cell Signaling Technology, USA). And Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (Media Cybernetics, USA) was used to analyze image of Immunohistochemistry.

Brains were quickly removed after decapitation. Striatum and midbrain samples were obtained at 0 °C and subsequently homogenized using Disposable Pellet Mixers with Pestle Motor (VWR). Tissue homogenates were prepared in RIPA buffer; pH 7.5, containing 10% Triton 500 μl, 5 μl aprotinin, PMSF 50 μl, Na3VO4 100 μl and NaF 20 μl in 4.32 ml PBS. Extracts were clarified by centrifugation at 4 °C (13,200g for 20 min). Supernatants were collected and eluted with RIPA buffer, and the proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE [45 (link)]. The primary antibodies used were: β-Tubulin (#05-661, Millipore), β-Actin (Abcam, ab6276, AC15), HA-Tag (C29F4) (#3724, Cell Signalling), Tyrosine Hydroxylase (MAB318, Sigma Aldrich), α-synuclein (610787, BD Transduction Laboratories™), DAT (MAB369, Merckmillipore), LC3 (5F10, Nanotools Antibodies), Tom20 (D8T4N) (#42406, Cell Signalling), Mitofusin-2 (D2D10) (#9482, Cell Signalling), DRP1 (D6C7) (#8570, Cell Signalling), Phospho-Tau Ser202/Thr205 (AT8) (#MN1020, ThermoFisher), and Dopamine D2 Receptor (AB5084P, Merckmillipore). The rabbit anti-mouse (GE healthcare UK, NA934V), or mouse anti-rabbit (GE health UK, NA931V) were used to react with the corresponding primary antibodies. Immunoreactive bands were visualized by enhanced chemiluminescence (GE Healthcare). Densitometry analysis on the bands was calculated using ImageJ software.

Western blots were performed according to standard protocols. Briefly, cell lysis was conducted with RIPA buffer (+1% Triton-X100) (Bio-Rad formulation) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (1:50; Sigma Aldrich, Vienna, Austria). Samples were frozen in liquid nitrogen and thawed for three times and incubated for 30 min on ice. Protein amounts were measured with Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (ThermoScientific, United States). 40 µg protein samples were loaded on a 12.5% SDS-PAGE gel together with PageRuler™ Plus Prestained Protein Ladder (Fisher Scientific, Vienna Austria). Blots were blocked (5% milk) and antibodies diluted in 5% milk in TBS-Tween. The following antibodies were used: Mitofusin-2 (D2D10, 1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology, MA, United States), and β-Actin (D6A8, 1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology). HRP labeled goat-anti-rabbit (sc-2054, 1:5,000, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies) was used as secondary antibody. For visualization, the SuperSignal West Pico PLUS kit (Fisher Scientific) was used and detection was conducted on a ChemiDoc System (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Vienna, Austria).

Brains were quickly removed after decapitation. Striatum and midbrain samples were obtained at 0°C and subsequently homogenized using Disposable Pellet Mixers with Pestle Motor (VWR). Tissue homogenates were prepared in RIPA buffer; pH 7.5, containing 10% Triton 500μl, 5μl aprotinin, PMSF 50μl, Na 3 VO 4 100μl and NaF 20μl in 4.32 ml PBS. Extracts were clari ed by centrifugation at 4°C (13,200 g for 20 minutes). Supernatants were collected and eluted with RIPA buffer, and the proteins were resolved by SDS-PAGE (43) . The primary antibodies used were: β-Tubulin (#05-661, Millipore), β-Actin (Abcam, ab6276, AC15), HA-Tag (C29F4) (#3724, Cell Signalling), Tyrosine Hydroxylase (MAB318, Sigma Aldrich), a-synuclein (610787, BD Transduction Laboratories™), DAT (MAB369, Merckmillipore), LC3 (5F10, Nanotools Antibodies), Tom20 (D8T4N) (#42406, Cell Signalling), Mitofusin-2 (D2D10) (#9482, Cell Signalling), DRP1 (D6C7) (#8570, Cell Signalling), Phospho-Tau Ser202/Thr205 (AT8) (#MN1020, ThermoFisher), and Dopamine D2 Receptor (AB5084P, Merckmillipore).

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.
