Five sections of the brain cortex and anterior horns of the spinal cord from each rat were randomly selected and subjected to immunofluorescence staining. The tissue sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with anti-NF-200 (1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), anti-GAP-43 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-activated caspase-3 (1:500; Cayman Chemical, Ann Arbor, MI, USA), anti-BDNF (1:500; Abcam), anti-NF-κB p65 (1:500; Abcam), Anti-p75NTR (1:500; Abcam), anti-MBP (1:500; Abcam), anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, 1:200, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), anti-COX-2 (1:1000; BioVision, Milpitas, CA, USA), and anti-CD68 (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) antibodies, individually. After washing in PBS, the sections were incubated with TRITC/FITC-conjugated secondary antibodies (1:200; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 1 h at 37 °C. The sections were subsequently mounted on glass slides and coverslipped with Antifade Gel Mount Aqueous Mounting Media (Southern Biotech, Birmingham, AL, USA). Stained sections were viewed under a microscope at 200x magnification, and images were taken of three fields per tissue section. Areas stained positively for GFAP, MBP, and CD68 were analyzed using NIH Image software. The numbers of cells stained positively for GAP43, caspase-3, NF-200, BDNF, NF-kB p65, COX-2, Caspase-3, and p75NTR were counted.

Tissue homogenates were lysed in RIPA buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 0.5% DOC, 0.1% SDS, 50 mM Tris, pH, 8.0) and subjected to 10% SDS–PAGE. Protein concentrations were determined using the BCA Kit (Thermo). Antibodies used were anti-p75NTR (1:5000; Abcam); anti-TAp73 (1:200, Santa Cruz Biotechnology); anti-PSD95 (1:2000; Abcam); anti-Drebrin (1:1000; Abcam); anti-JNK and anti-phospho-JNK (1:1000; Ruiying Biological); anti-Akt and anti-phospho-Akt (1:1000; Ruiying Biological); anti-γ-tubulin (1:10000; Sigma-Aldrich); GAPDH (1:5000; Beyotime).

Total proteins prepared from the brain tissue were separated by 4–20% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) for 2 h, after which resolved proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes for 2 h at 40 V. Each membrane was then incubated separately at 4℃ with the following primary antibodies overnight: anti-NGF (Abcam), anti-TrkA (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), anti-p-TrkA (Cell Signaling), anti-Akt (Cell Signaling), anti-p-Akt (Cell Signaling), anti-ERK (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-p-ERK (Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-p-75NTR (Abcam), anti-JNK (Cell Signaling), anti-p-JNK (Cell Signaling), anti-Bcl2 (Abcam), anti-Bax (Abcam), and anti-β-actin antibody (Sigma-Aldrich Co.). The membranes were then washed with washing buffer (137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 10 mM Na2HPO4, and 0.05% Tween 20) and incubated with HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen) and HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen) at a 1:1,000 dilution and room temperature for 1 h. Membrane blots were developed using Amersham ECL Select Western Blotting detection reagent (GE Healthcare).

After the mice brain sections (10-μm) cross sections had been blocked (1XPBS, 10% fetal bovine serum, 5% gelatin, and 0.1% Triton X-100) for 1 h, they were incubated with a mixture of two of the following primary antibodies: anti-CD31 (1:100, BD Pharmingen™, San Jose, CA, United States), anti-p75NTR (1:100, abcam, Burlingame, CA, USA ), anti-ZO1 (1:100, abcam, Burlingame, CA, USA), anti-VWF (1:100, abcam, Burlingame, CA, USA ) overnight at 4 °C. For immunochemistry, the brain slides were evaluated by immunochemistry through Dako kits (Dako EnVisionTM+ Dual Link System-HRP, Agilent, CA, USA). The procedure was conducted following the manufacturer’s instruction. The primary antibody was incubated with samples at 4 °C overnight followed by the HRP incubation for 1 h at room temperature. For immunofluorescence staining, the sections after primary antibody incubation were washed with 0.1 M PBS and then incubated with FITC- or Texas Red-conjugated anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG (1:400; Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature then mounted with antifade mounting medium with DAPI (abcam, Burlingame, CA, USA). The IHC and fluorescence signals were detected and the results recorded using a microscope DMI300B (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) and captured using Canon EOS550D with EOS Utility.

At the end of the experiment, the atrial tissue was rapidly excised and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature. Paraffin-embedded tissue was cut into 5 μm sections. Immunofluorescence staining was used to determine the expression and localization of ET-1, NGF, p75NTR, NF-κB p65, and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) in tissues. Sections were incubated in PBS containing 10% FBS for 60 min and incubated overnight with the primary antibody at 4°C, including anti-ET-1 (ABclonal, China), anti-NGF (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-p75ntr (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-NF-κB p65 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and anti-TH (Abcam, Cambridge, UK). Sections were washed with PBS and incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at 37°C. After the sections were washed, they were visualized using the DAB reagent. Hematoxylin was counterstained with cores dehydrated with ethanol and sealed with glycerol gelatin. Blinded analysis was performed using Image-Pro Plus 6.0 (Media Cybernetics).

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.
