Mice were trans-cardiacally perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde. Their brains and colons were post-fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 4 h, cytoprotected in 30% sucrose solution, freezed, cut using a cryostat (Leica, Nussloch, Germany), and immunostained according to the method of Jang et al. (11 (link)). Briefly, the sections were washed with phosphate buffered saline, blocked with normal serum, incubated with antibodies for Iba1 (1:200, Abcam), LPS (1:200, Millipore), NF-κB (1:100, Cell Signaling), CD11b (1:200, Abcam), CD11c (1:200, Abcam), and/or NeuN (1:200, Millipore) overnight, and treated with the secondary antibodies for 2 h. Secondary antibodies conjugated with with Alexa Fluor 488 (1:200, Invitrogen) or Alexa Fluor 594 (1:200, Invitrogen) were then treated to visualize. Nuclei were stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dilactate (DAPI, Sigma). Immunostained tissue slices were scanned with a confocal laser microscope.

Quantifying Cardiomyocyte Apoptosis via TUNEL Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We detected apoptosis using the Dead End Fluorometric TUNEL System (Promega), according to the manufacturer's instructions. Four frozen hearts per group were sliced into 5 μm thick sections using a freezing microtome. Frozen sections were counterstained with mouse monoclonal α-sarcomeric actin antibody (1 : 75, Abcam), and Alexa Fluor 594 rabbit anti-mouse antibody (1 : 1000, Invitrogen) was applied as secondary antibody; cell nuclei were stained with 4′,6-Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dilactate (DAPI; Sigma). The stained sections were mounted and analyzed with a Fluoview 1000 confocal microscope (Olympus, Japan). We counted 6 random 400x fields and the number of TUNEL-positive cardiomyocyte nuclei was manually determined. The total number of nuclei (exhibited as DAPI-positive signals) was automatically calculated using Image-Pro Plus (version 5.0).

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.
