Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western Blot analysis was performed following standard protocols as previously described43 (link). Lung tissues were homogenized in 62.5 mM Tris Buffer, and then centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min at 4 °C, and soluble supernatants were taken as whole tissue lysates. Equal amounts of protein mixed with sample buffer were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE gels, and the separated proteins were transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) transfer membrane at a constant voltage of 100 V for 100 min in ice-water mixture. The membranes were blocked with fat-free milk at room temperature for 1 h and incubated at 4 °C overnight with primary antibodies. The primary antibodies used in this study were anti-mouse FSTL1 (R&D system), anti-type I collagen (Abcam), α-SMA (sigma), NLRP3 and caspase-1 (Santa Cruz), β-tubulin (proteintech). After the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies were incubated, protein signals were detected using the enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit (Pierce Biotechnology, USA). All experiments were repeated in triplicate.

Digital microphotographs of renal cortex were obtained at 40-fold magnification using a Carl Zeiss Axioskop 40 microscope (Carl Zeiss Microscopy) and AxioCam MRc5 digital camera (Carl Zeiss Microscopy). The area stained positive for type I collagen, FSP-1 and KI-67 was quantified as percentage of total cross-sectional area using Axiovision software (Carl Zeiss Microscopy).

A portion of each construct was placed in OCT compound, frozen by immersion in liquid nitrogen-cooled isopentane and sectioned using a Cryostat (Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany). The 30–40 micron samples were mounted on poly-L lysine coated slides (Polysciences Inc., Warrington, PA).
Immunohistochemistry was performed with the Vectastain Elite ABC kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA), a peroxidase-based detection system, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The samples were probed with one of three antibodies: anti-type I collagen (#ab6308, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) at a concentration of 7 μg/mL, anti-type II collagen (#7005, Chondrex Inc, Redmond, WA) at a concentration of 0.5 μg/mL, or a mouse nonspecific IgG used at 7ug/mL as a negative control. Sections were counterstained with methyl green nuclear stain (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA).
To visualize GAG deposition, additional sectioned samples were stained with 0.1% Alcian Blue using standard techniques. Alizarin Red staining was performed to visualize calcium deposition in the sectioned samples according to standard techniques. Samples were documented by photomicroscopy.

Immunohistochemistry was carried out using cross-sectioned tissues as previously described [33 (link)]. Briefly, Aronia extract-treated 3D dermis models were dehydrated 5 min and then fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde solution (Biosesang, Republic of Korea). Fixed tissues were transferred to frozen section compound (Leica Biosystems, Deutschland) to generate cryomolds. A 20 μm thick sectioned tissue was obtained using a cryotome (CM1860, Leica Biosystems). The cross-sectioned tissues were stained with anti-type I collagen (Abcam, UK) with Alexa® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen, CA, USA). To visualize cell nuclei in tissues, Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen) staining was applied.

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.
