Integrin α3

Manufactured by Proteintech
Sourced in Germany

Integrin α3 is a membrane-spanning receptor protein that mediates cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. It functions as a receptor for laminin, collagen, and other extracellular matrix proteins, playing a role in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling processes.

Mice were sacrificed on the last treatment day with rTMS. The peri‐infract cortex tissues (approximately 20 mg) were homogenized in 200 μL of RIPA lysis buffer (P0013B, Beyotime, Shanghai, China). Protein quantification was performed using a BCA protein assay kit (Melone Pharmaceutical, Dalian, China). Samples with 40 μg protein were separated by size using 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gels and transferred onto nitrocellulose (NC) membranes. Membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat milk for 1 h at room temperature and then incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: integrin α3 (1:1000, 66,070–1, Proteintech), GluN2B (1:1000, 21,920‐1‐AP, Proteintech), β‐actin (1:1000, SD0034, SIMUWU), GluN2A (1:1000, 19,953‐1‐AP, Proteintech), GluA2/3/4 (1:1000, 2460, Cell Signaling), GluA1 (1:1000, 67,642‐1‐Ig, Proteintech), GAD65 (1:1000, 20,746‐1‐AP, Proteintech), and vGlut1 (1:1000, ab227805, Abcam). Membranes were washed with TBST and incubated with HRP‐conjugated goat anti‐mouse and goat anti‐rabbit antibody for 1 h at room temperature. ImageJ software was used to analyze protein bands.

Experiments were performed on 4-μm paraffin-embedded tumor tissues mounted on slides. Paraffin was removed, and the sections were serially rehydrated by descending ethanol series as described above. Antigen retrieval was performed by heating the slides in EDTA buffer at 100°C for 15 min. Slides were blocked by incubating with 3% BSA (Wuhan Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd.) for 30 min at 37°C and then incubated with primary antibodies against FAM83A (1:500; BIOSS), integrin α1 (1:200; ProteinTech Group, Inc.), integrin α3 (1:1,000; ProteinTech Group, Inc.), integrin α5 (1:100; Hangzhou HuaAn Biotechnology Co., Ltd.), integrin β4 (1:100; ProteinTech Group, Inc.) and integrin β5 (1:100; BIOSS) at 4°C overnight, followed by the secondary antibodies Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-mouse (1:400; cat. no. GB25303) or Cy-3-conjugated goat anti-rabbit (1:300; cat. no. GB21303; both from Wuhan Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd.) for 1 h at room temperature. The cell nuclei were stained with DAPI. Nikon Eclipse C1 fluorescence microscope with an integrated camera was used to visualize the fluorescence and acquire images from five representative fields of each sections (×400).

Cytocompatibility Evaluation of Biomaterial Membranes

To evaluate the cytocompatibility, adhesion and proliferation, PDO, PDGA, PDAG, PGAG membranes with thickness of 40 µm were prepared. Then, the membranes were plated in 6‐well plates. A total of 1.5 × 105 HUVECs were seeded on each membrane, and were cultured in endothelial cell medium supplied with 10% FBS. After incubation for 24 h and 48 h, the membranes were washed with PBS for 3 times, stained with crystal violet solution (0.5%) for 30 min and the cells on membranes were counted.
For immunofluorescent staining, after incubation for 24 h, the cells seeded on membranes were incubated with Integrin α3 (Proteintech, 66070‐1) and FAK (Abcam, ab40794) overnight, and were stained with 488 conjugate (Cell Signaling, #4408), 594 conjugate (Cell Signaling, #8889) and DAPI (Solarbio, C0065) according to the manufacture's guidelines and were observed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (TCS SP5II, Leica, Ernst‐Leitz‐Strasse, Germany).
The interior morphology of HUVECs on PDO, PDGA, PDAG, and PGAG membranes was investigated by SEM (S‐4800, Hitachi, Japan). Samples were fixed in 2.5% glutaraldehyde, dehydrated by CO2 critical point drying (K850X, Emitech), quick‐frozen in liquid nitrogen, lyophilized, and then coated with gold particles.

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.
