The brains of E20 (for CD31, MMP2 and MMP9), P0 (for hematoxylin and eosin and collagen IV), or P52 (for Luxol Fast Blue, myelin basic protein and SMI-312) rats that had been perfused with 10% neutral buffered formalin were post-fixed 2–3 days in paraformaldehyde. Brains were transferred to 30% sucrose for cryopreservation then frozen in OCT. Cryosections (10 μm) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or Luxol fast blue (LFB) following standard protocols [28 (link)].
Immunohistochemistry was performed as described [20 (link),28 (link)]. Sections were incubated overnight with primary antibodies, including: goat anti-CD31 (PECAM-1) (1:200, sc-1506; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA); rabbit anti-MMP2 (1:100; sc-10736; Santa Cruz); rabbit anti-MMP9 (1:200; #ab38898; Abcam, Cambridge, MA); rabbit anti-collagen IV (1:400; #ab6586; Abcam); rat anti-myelin basic protein (MBP) (1:200; #ab7349; Abcam); mouse anti-SMI-312 (1:200; #837901; BioLegend, San Diego, CA) at 4°C. After several rinses in PBS, sections were incubated with species-appropriate fluorescent secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor 488 and 555, Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) for 1 hour at room temperature. Controls included the omission of primary antibodies.

Membranes were blocked with 5% skimmed milk and incubated with specific antibodies against MMP-2 (1:1,000 dilution; sc-10736; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., Dallas, TX, USA) and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) (1:1,000 dilution; AP1801a; Abgent, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) at 4°C overnight. After three washes with Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20, membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:3,000 dilution; sc-2030; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc.). Protein bands were identified by the enhanced chemiluminescence detecting system (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.), according to the manufacturer's protocol. β-actin was used as a loading control in the stripped blot.

Equal amounts of denatured protein were subjected to 10% SDS-PAGE (SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis), including molecular weight markers (PageRuler, #26617, Fermentas and PageRuler Plus, #266201, Fermentas) to estimate the molecular weight sizes of appearing bands, and transferred to PVDF membranes (IPVH00010, Millipore). Membranes were washed in TBST buffer (TBS containing 0.1% Tween-20), and non-specific binding sites were blocked by immersing the membranes in blocking buffer containing 5% non-fat milk (70166, Sigma) in TBST buffer for 1 h on a shaker at room temperature or overnight at 4 °C. Membranes were first probed with the following primary antibodies: α-MMP2 (1:1000, sc-10736, Santa cruz), α-MMP3 (1:1000, ab52915, Abcam) and α-MMP14 (1:1000, ab3644, Abcam). After the first blotting, an anti-vinculin antibody (1:50000, V9131, Sigma) was used to control for protein loading. Next, a peroxidase-conjugated α-rabbit (111-035-144, Jackson ImmunoResearch) secondary antibody was used. Bound antibodies were visualized with the Pierce Enhanced Chemiluminescence (ECL) Plus Western Blotting Substrate detection system (32132, ThermoFisher) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

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.
