Haemotoxylin and Eosin, Masson’s Trichrome and Sirius Red (Sigma-Aldrich, United States) stains were completed on 10% Buffered formalin fixed paraffin sections. Collagen content of the liver was quantified histologically using computerised quantification of picroSirius Red staining, as described previously15 . Oil-Red-O (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) staining was performed on frozen OCT embedded cryosections as previously described38 (link). All sections were visualized on a slide scanner (Virtual Slide System VS120, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) and viewed in the supplied program (OlyVIA Build 10555, Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). Briefly, for immunofluorescence staining, 4% PFA fixed frozen liver sections were dual stained with both anti-CML (1:125 dilution; ab30917; Abcam, United Kingdom) and OST48 (1:100 dilution; sc25558; Santa Cruz biotechnologies, United States). Dual staining on paraffin buffered formalin fixed sections was with GRP78 (1:50 dilution; sc1050; Santa Cruz biotechnologies, United States) and OST-48 (1:100 dilution; sc74407; Santa Cruz biotechnologies, United States).

Several measurements were performed on transverse slices of skin biopsies. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted with the anti-AGE antibodies anti-CML (ab30917, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and anti-Nδ-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolon-2-yl)-ornithine ([MG-H1], STA-011, cell biolabs, inc., NL) using goat anti-mouse IgG alkaline phosphatase (AP) conjugate ([Go-a-Mo-AP], D0486, Dako, Glostrup, DK) as chromogenic reporter. Histological localization of CML and MG-H1 was evaluated semi-quantitatively by two independent investigators (I.M.A and G.F.H.D). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stains were added to be able to identify individual cells.
Invasively assessed intrinsic fluorescence was measured by confocal microscopy using the ZEISS LSM 780 NLO (Zeiss, GER) and quantified by ImageJ. We used single (405nm and 440nm) and 2-photon (750nm, equivalent to 375nm) excitation, which corresponds to the excitation area of the AGE Reader.
In the second skin biopsy, including epidermis and dermis, the concentrations of CML, MG-H1 and pentosidine were assessed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry measurements (UPLC-MS/MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively [20 , 21 (link), 22 (link)].

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.
