Cells were seeded on 8-well chamber slides. 48 h post-seeding, cells were pre-extracted with cold 0.5% NP-40 for 4 min on ice. Cells were then fixed with 4% PFA/PBS for 15 min and washed three times with PBS. Following washes, the slide was blocked for 1 h at room temperate with 2% BSA in PBS. Slides were then incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4ºC (anti-RNAP II CTD 8WG16 (Abcam cat: ab817) alone; anti-PCNA (Santa Cruz cat: sc-7907) alone; anti-γH2AX (Millipore cat: 05-636 JBW301, clone JBW301) alone, or anti-RNAP II CTD 8WG16 with anti-PCNA; anti-γH2AX with anti-RNAP II CTD 8WG16, or anti-γH2AX with anti-PCNA). All antibodies were used at 1:500 dilution. The next day, slides were washed three times with PBS and incubated in a pre-mixed solution of PLA probe anti-mouse minus and PLA probe anti-rabbit plus (Sigma cat: DUO92101) for 1 h at 37ºC. The Duolink In Situ detection reagents (Sigma cat: DUO92101) used to perform the PLA reaction according to the manufacturer's instructions. Slides were counterstained with DAPI and sealed with cover glass using MOWIOL. Slides were allowed to dry overnight before visualization and analysis. All immunofluorescence images were taken and analyzed using a Lecia DM4000 B fluorescence microscope using 100X magnification as indicated in figure legends.

Immunostaining of the aortic rings to identify proliferating cells with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) was performed for confirmation of cellular proliferation [32 (link)]. Aortic ring sections (5 μm) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde, treated with 3.0% H2O2 for 15 minutes for endogenous peroxidase quenching, and blocked for 30 minutes in 10% normal goat serum. Sections were then washed with PBS (2x2 minutes) and incubated in 1:1000 anti-PCNA (Millipore) for 1 hour at room temperature. Upon washing, the samples were incubated with Alexa Fluor 488–conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody for 10 minutes. The sections were then counterstained with DAPI (300 nM) for 2 minutes to display cell nuclei. The samples were quantitatively scored by a third party observer who was blinded to the study. PCNA staining was quantified as a percent of PCNA positive cells (Number of PCNA positive nuclei/Total number of nuclei).

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.
