Paraffin-embedded blocks of the right middle lobe were sliced into 5 μm thick sections and stained with rabbit anti-rat ACSL4 (1:100, A6826, ABclonal, Woburn, MA, USA). The expression of ACSL4 in lung tissue was detected by HRP rabbit secondary antibody. The sections were deparaffinized with xylene, dehydrated with ethanol, and heated in 0.01 M citrate buffer (pH 6.0). Endogenous peroxidase activity was inactivated in 3% H2O2 for 15 min at room temperature. After the sections were incubated in blocking buffer (10% goat serum albumin), they were incubated with primary antibodies recognizing ACSL4 (1:100, A6826, ABclonal, Woburn, MA, USA) at 4 °C overnight. The tissues were then incubated with secondary anti-rabbit antibody-coated polymer peroxidase complexes (A0208, Beyotime, Nanjing, China) at room temperature. After the tissues were incubated with chromogenic substrate DAB (P0203, Beyotime, Nanjing, China) for 1 min, the slides were incubated with hematoxylin (C0107, Beyotime, Nanjing, China) for 10 s. The sections were washed in running water for 20 m. Five fields per slides were randomly chosen by the viewer and semi-quantifiedwith Image j software.

Proteins were extracted from freshly frozen tissues. Briefly, the tissues were homogenized and lysed with radio immunoprecipitation lysis buffer (Solarbio, R0010, Beijing, China), which has 100 mg/ml of phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (ADOOQ, A11901, California, USA) and 1 mg/ml of Aprotinin (ADOOQ, A14263). The lysate was collected and centrifugated for liquid supernatant. A total of 50 μg protein samples were separated with 10% SDS-PAGE (Solarbio, P1040) and transferred onto polyvinylidene fluoride (Millipore, HVLP04700, Arklow, Ireland) membranes. Membranes were blocked at room temperature with 5% skim milk (ACMEC, AC11037, Shanghai, China) powder in TBS (Quartett, 402000192, Berlin, Germany) for 1 h. Membranes were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies against the following proteins: Acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain familymember 4 (ACSL4) (1: 1000, ABclonal, A6826, Wuhan, China), transferrin receptor (TFRC) (1: 1000, ABclonal, A5865, Wuhan, China). Secondary antibodies (1: 1000, ABclonal, AS014, Wuhan, China) were incubated for 1 h at 37 °C and washed three times with PBST (PBS+0.1% Tween 20) (Biomed, PA202, Beijing, China). The protein bands were visualized by Molecular Imager Gel Doc XR System (Bio-Rad, Hertfordshire, UK) and quantified by densitometric analysis using an image analyzer (NIH Image J software, Bethesda, USA).

Total proteins were extracted from tissues or cells using a lysis buffer (Wanleibio, WLA019, Shenyang, China). Proteins were quantified using a BCA protein assay kit (Wanleibio, WLA004, Shenyang, China). The denatured proteins are then separated by SDS-PAGE followed by an electrophoretic transfer onto a PVDF membrane. After blocking with 5% nonfat dry milk at room temperature for an hour, the membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies against ACSL4 (Abclonal, A6826, Wuhan, Hubei, China), glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) (Abclonal, A11243, Wuhan, Hubei, China) and ferritin heavy chain (FTH) (Wanleibio, WL05360, Shenyang, China) at 4 °C. The membranes were then incubated with diluted secondary antibodies (1: 5000, Wanleibio, WLA023, Shenyang, China). Quantification of band intensities was performed using Gel-Pro-Analyser software.

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.
