The GC cells were digested and uniformly cultured on the coverslips at a suitable density, and treated with sitagliptin for 24 hours after the cells had fully adhered. After completing the scheduled processing, the cells in each well were fixed in cold 4% of paraformaldehyde. In order to increase the permeability of the cell membrane to the antibody, pretreated the cells with 0.3% of Triton‐X100 for another 15 minutes, and then, soaked the cells in a 5% of bovine serum albumin. Subsequently, the coverslips were completely covered with a 1:200 dilution of YAP antibody and incubated overnight in a 4°C wet box. The next day, the cells were incubated with fluorescein isothiocyanate‐conjugated secondary antibodies (Molecular Probes) for 60 minutes. Finally, 4′,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole was counterstained for 5 minutes in the dark. Examined the changes in the expression of fluorescent protein positions with a fluorescence microscope (Olympus Corp.).

Islet-containing kidney tissues were embedded in optimum cutting temperature (OCT) compound (Tissue-Tek, CA, USA), and beta-cell apoptosis was examined in cryosections (5-µm thick) using an in situ cell death detection kit (Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN, USA) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, the tissue sections were permeabilized with 1% proteinase K for 15 min, rinsed with PBS, incubated with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) reagents for 1 h at 37 °C, and washed in PBS for 5 min. Then, tissues were stained with an anti-insulin antibody (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), a fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated secondary antibody, and 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Images were captured using a laser scanning confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss).

Quantifying Eosinophil Extracellular Traps

EETs were visualized in paraffin-embedded tissue slides (5 µm) by means of indirect immunofluorescence followed by counterstaining for DNA. After blocking and incubation with the polyclonal anti-major basic protein (MBP) (Monosan) antibody (1:50), the slides were incubated with a fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated secondary antibody (1:400) (Life Technologies) and the DNA was stained by incubation with propidium iodide (1 µg/ml) (Sigma Aldrich). Subsequently the slides were analyzed with a confocal laser-scanning microscope (Leica MicroSystems). Since the EETs are difficult to detect in fixed tissues, staining was performed on three different tissues for each patient.
For each patient and each piece of tissue, 5 fields were selected in the studied regions (stroma, subepithelial or at epithelial defects). In those fields, the amount of EETs was counted and normalized for the amount eosinophils. EETs were expressed as % of eosinophils generating EETs throughout the manuscript.

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.
