For BrdU incorporation, sections were treated before standard blocking protocol as follows: incubation with 2N HCl was performed at room temperature for 1 h, followed by soak in 0.1 m (pH 8.4) borate buffer for 10 min. After three washes in PBS, sections were processed according to standard protocol in blocking solution. The primary antibodies and their final concentrations used in the experiments were as follows: anti-BrdU (1:200, rat; AbD Serotec, Raleigh, NC), anti-pS6 (1:200, rabbit; Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), anti-GFP (1:1000, chicken; Abcam, Cambridge, MA), and anti-Sox2 (1:1000, goat; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN).

Nuclear Cytosolic Fractionation Kit (BioVision) was used to obtain protein extracts. Protein concentration was determined using the Bio‐Rad DC Protein Assay (Bio‐Rad). Up to twenty micrograms of nuclear protein extracts was separated in SDS–polyacrylamide gels by electrophoresis. After protein transfer onto nitrocellulose membrane, the membranes were incubated with the indicated antibodies. Antibody binding was detected after incubation with a secondary antibody coupled to horseradish peroxidase using chemiluminescence with ECL detection KIT (GE Healthcare).
Primary antibodies: anti‐TRF1 1:1,000 (BED5, Bio‐Rad), anti‐TRF1 1:500 (homemade), anti‐SMC‐1 1:2,000 (Bethyl), anti‐AKT1 1:500 (Millipore), anti‐p‐AKT 1:500 (Ser473, Cell Signaling Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐S6 1:500 (Cell Signaling Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐p‐S6 1:500 (Ser240/244, Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐TIN2 1:1,000 (Abcam), anti‐RAP1 1:1,000 (Bethyl).
For the quantification, protein‐band intensities have been quantified by densitometric analysis with ImageJ software. The Trf1 total levels have been normalized versus SMC1 and the mean of the Trf1/SMC1 ratio deriving from at least 3 different replicates has been used to generate the chart.

Cell lysates were prepared by suspending cells in lysis buffer (PBS, 1% Nonidet P-40, 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride). The lysates were cleared by centrifugation and subjected to electrophoresis on a sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel. The proteins were then transferred to nitrocellulose membranes, blocked with 1–10% dry milk (or bovine serum albumin) in TBS-T buffer [TBS (10 mM Tris–HCl, pH 7.5, 135 mM NaCl) + 0.05% Tween-20]. Antigen–antibody complexes were visualized by chemiluminescence with an enhanced chemiluminescence substrate. Anti-S6 (1:1000), anti-pS6 (1:1000), anti-actin (1:1000) antibodies were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology. Immunoblot images were cut and rearranged to remove irrelevant information; however, all lanes were obtained from the same blots with the same levels of exposure and contrast.

Sliced paraffin sections were immersed in xylene for deparaffinization, rehydrated to PBS- from ethanol, and then heated in a microwave oven to 100°C for 15 min in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) to unmask antigens. The sections were incubated in 0.3% H2O2/methanol to destroy endogenous peroxidase activity, and blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.05% NaN3 in PBS- for 30 min at room temperature, and then incubated with a primary antibody overnight at 4°C [23 (link), 24 (link)]. The primary antibodies used for immunohistochemistry were anti-pERK1/2 (M8159, dilution 1:200; Sigma), anti-pS6 (#4858, dilution 1:100; Cell Signaling), anti-Ki67 (ab16667, dilution 1:100; Abcam). The sections were rinsed and incubated with a biotinylated anti-mouse and anti-rabbit IgG/IgA/IgM secondary antibody (Histofine; Nichirei Biosciences, Tokyo, Japan) for immunohistochemical staining. Immune reaction products were developed with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine. Cells with positive signals were counted in 10 random fields of either kidney or liver sections obtained from 6 rats in each group by a naive observer using a 40× objective. In the kidney, we counted positive cells in both normal and cystic structural areas.

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.
