In situ hybridization was performed as described: following fixation with 4% PFA, acetylation with acetylation buffer (1.3% triethanolamine, 0.25% acetic anhydride, 20 mM HCl), treatment with proteinase K (5 μg/ml, IBI Scientific) and pre-hybridization (1 × SSC, 50% formamide, 0.1 mg/ml Salmon Sperm DNA Solution, 1 × Denhart, 5 mM EDTA, pH 7.5), brain sections were hybridized with DIG-labeled LNA probes at Tm -22°C overnight. After washing with pre-cooled wash buffer (1 × SSC, 50% formamide, 0.1% Tween-20) and 1 × MABT, sections were blocked with blocking buffer (1 × MABT, 2% blocking solution, 20% heat-inactived sheep serum) and incubated with anti-DIG antibody (1:1, 500, Roche) at 4°C overnight. Brain sections were washed with 1 × MABT and Staining buffer (0.1 M NaCl, 50 mM MgCl2, 0.1 M Tris-HCl, pH 9.5), stained with BM purple (Roche) at room temperature until ideal intensity was reached. The antisense RNA probe (Sfrp1, Wnt7a, Wnt7b, Pax6, Ngn2, and Hes5) was labeled using the DIG RNA labeling Kit (Roche, Switzerland) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Paraformaldehdye-fixed brain sections were cut in the sagittal plane at 10 μm thickness using a microtome (Leica, Buffalo Grove, IL), placed on slides and then rehydrated by immersing in xylene with decreasing concentrations of ethanol. Antigen retrieval was conducted via 5 min incubation with proteinase K (IB05406, IBI Scientific, Peosta, IA) (0.2 mg/ml) at 22° C. Tissue sections were then blocked in Superblock blocking buffer (cat. #37518, ThermoFisher, Franklin, MA) containing 0.3% Triton X-100 at room temperature for 30 min and incubated with individual primary antibodies at the following dilutions overnight: rabbit monoclonal antibody to apolipoprotein E (APOE, 1:250, RRID: AB_2832971, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), rabbit polyclonal antibody to Annexin A3 (Anxa3, 1:250, PA5082483, Invitrogen, Waltham, MA), rabbit polyclonal antibody to elastase (1:250, RRID# AB_2746314, Invitrogen), or rabbit polyclonal antibody to histone 2A (H2A, 1:250, RRID# AB_2735313, Invitrogen). Primary antibodies were detected with Alexa Fluorescent 594 (1:1000, RRID: AB_141359, Molecular Probes, Leiden, Netherlands). Deposited fibrillar amyloid was detected with thioflavin S (123H0598, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). Immunohistological stacked images were captured on a KEYENCE BZ-X710 fluorescence microscope and analyzed with BZ-X Analyzer software (Version 1.3.1.1, 2013, Keyence, Itasca, IL).

The ER-positive and ER-negative BC cell lines were used to assess the Cdx2 polymorphism in the vdr gene using pyrosequencing technology as described below. For DNA extraction, cells were lysed in specific buffer (NaCl 300Mm, EDTA 25Mm, Tris 50Mm PH = 8 2% SDS and Proteinase K (IBI Scientific, Peosta, IA) and total DNA was extracted using the kit Phase Lock Gel (PLG-Prime, Gaithersburg, MD) following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Microbial DNA Extraction from Milk

DNA was extracted from each collected sample separately. Also, 10 ml of milk was centrifuged at 4°C and 9,000 rpm for 30 min. The fat and majority of supernatant were removed by suction and 300 μl supernatant retained to resuspend the pellet. The milk pellet and the remaining supernatant were vortexed and transferred to a sterile micro centrifuge tube using a sterile transfer pipette, before being incubated at 40°C for 12 h with 180 μl of tissue lysis buffer ATL (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA), 40 μl of proteinase K (IBI Scientific), and 20 μl of lysozyme solution (10 mg/ml) to maximize bacterial DNA extraction.
Isolation of genomic DNA was performed on 250 μl of post-incubation mixture pipetted into PowerBead Tubes (PowerSoil® DNA Isolation kit, MO BIO Laboratories, Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) and settled in a Mini-Beadbeater-8 (Biospec Products, Battersville, OK, USA) for microbial cell disruption. DNA extraction was performed using a PowerSoil DNA Isolation Kit (MO BIO Laboratory Inc.) following the manufacturer’s recommendation. DNA concentration and purity were evaluated by optical density using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Rockland, DE, USA) at wavelengths of 230, 260, and 280 nm.

In situ hybridization was performed on frozen sections using locked nucleic acid (LNA) probes(Obernosterer et al, 2007). After postfixation with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 min and acetylation with acetylation buffer for 10 min (1.33% triethanolamine, 0.25% acetic anhydride, 20 mM HCl), samples were treated with proteinase K for 5 min (10 mg/ml, IBI Scientific) and pre‐hybridized (1× SSC, 50% formamide, 0.1 mg/ml salmon sperm DNA solution, 1× Denhart, 5 mM EDTA, pH 7.5) for 6 h at room temperature. Brain sections were hybridized with DIG‐labeled LNA probes at RNA melting temperature (Tm) −30°C overnight (1:300 in hybridization buffer). The first wash was made at hybridization temperature for 15 min, after which 2 more subsequent washes were made at 4°C (1× SSC, 50% formamide, 0.1% Tween‐20). After washing 2 times with pre‐cooled 1× MABT, sections were blocked in blocking buffer (1× MABT, 2% blocking solution, 20% heat‐inactivated sheep serum) for 2 h at RT and incubated with anti‐DIG antibody (1:1,500, Roche) at 4°C overnight. Sections were washed 5 times for 20 min at RT with 1× MABT and 2 times for 10 min at RT with staining buffer (0.1 M NaCl, 50 mM MgCl2, 0.1 M Tris–HCl, pH 9.5). Finally, sections were stained with 500 μl of BM purple, which was replaced every 6 h (Roche) at room temperature until ideal intensity was reached.

HS, ADD and IDD samples were washed 3 times with nuclease-free water and incubated at 56°C for 12 h with 40 μl of proteinase K (IBI Scientific), 180 μl of tissue lysis buffer and 40 μl of lysozyme (QIAamp DNA Minikit, Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA) to maximize bacterial DNA extraction. 250 mg of post-incubation healthy skin samples and DD lesions were placed in PowerBead Tubes (PowerSoil DNA Isolation kit, MO BIO Laboratories, Inc., Carlsbad, CA, USA) and settled in a Mini-Beadbeater-8 (Biospec Products, Battersville, OK, USA) for microbial cell disruption. DNA extraction was performed using a PowerSoil DNA Isolation Kit (MO BIO Laboratory Inc.) following the manufacturer’s recommendation. DNA concentration was evaluated using the Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA Assay Kit (Life Technologies Corporation, Carlsbad, CA, USA).

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.
