Seven days after laser injury, eyes were enucleated and fixed in 4% para-formaldehyde for 1 h on ice, incubated in an increasing concentration of PBS/sucrose (5, 10, and 20%), and embedded in frozen section compound (Leica, Exton, PA, USA). After blocking, the sections were incubated with rat anti-PDGFR-β (1:100, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and rabbit anti-NG2 antibody (1:100, Millipore, USA) and subsequently Alexa Fluor 546 secondary antibodies (1:200, Molecular Probes, Waltham, MA, USA). The specimens were mounted in mounting medium, including DAPI (1:500, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA), and examined under a fluorescence microscope (BIOREVO, Keyence, Tokyo, Japan). The number of nucleus surrounded by NG-2 positive signals, corresponding to pericytes, are counted unbiasedly in five consecutive tissue sections, as previously described [17 (link),18 (link)].

DAPI mounting medium (Sigma) was used for nuclear staining. The images were visualized and acquired with a Leica TCS SP8 confocal microscope. The number of β-cells and islets was scored with a computer-assisted Image Pro Plus program (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD). To determine the number of β-cell and islets per mouse, each pancreas was sectioned at every 150 μm, spanning both proximal and distal areas of the pancreas, and all the resulting sections were used for the analysis.

Paraffin-embedded sections were processed as described previously (17 (link)). Sections (5 µm) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin or with Sirius red. Pictures were taken from random fields from each section at a final magnification of ×10. Staining area was calculated by pixel counting with National Institutes of Health (NIH) ImageJ. For fluorescence microscopy, fixed livers and lungs were transferred to 30% sucrose in PBS overnight, embedded in optimum cutting temperature compound, and then cryosectioned at 5 µm. Cryosections were permeabilized and blocked with 0.3% Triton X-100 and 3% BSA in PBS. Sections were incubated with primary antibodies (rabbit anti-pSmad3, Epitomics, 1880-1, 1:100; rat anti-PDGFRβ, eBioscience, 14-1402, 1:100) overnight at 4 °C and then with fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies (Invitrogen).

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.
