The fixed tissue samples were embedded in paraffin. The paraffin blocks were sliced to a thickness of 4 μm. The EGTA (MVS-0098, Maxim biotechnologies, Fuzhou, China) was used for antigen repair. For histochemistry, F4/80 (28463-1-AP, Proteintech, Wuhan, China), MPO (SKU:023, Biocare Medical, Pacheco, CA, USA), VWF (A0082, DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark), and ITGB3 (MWReg30, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) were used. The sections were incubated with the antibodies at 4 °C overnight. The sections were incubated with anti-rabbit IgG (#7074, Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA) or anti-rat IgG (ab6734, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 1.5 h at room temperature and stained with DAB substrate (P0202, Beyotime, Shanghai, China). For immunofluorescence, the sections were incubated with ITGB3 (MWReg30, BioLegend, San Diego, CA, USA) overnight at 4 °C and then incubated with VWF (A0082, DAKO, Glostrup, Denmark) for 2 h at room temperature. For fluorescent staining, the sections were incubated with an Alexa 594-conjugated secondary anti-rat IgG antibody (ab150160, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and an Alexa 488-conjugated secondary anti-rabbit IgG antibody (ab150077, Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

The paraffin-embedded tissue specimens were sectioned into 5 μm thick sections. After deparaffinization, rehydration through graded ethanol, and antigen retrieval with pH 6.0 citrate buffer in a pressure cooker for 15 mins, sections were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 hour at room temperature and then incubated with diluted primary antibodies in 1% BSA at 4 °C overnight. Anti-smooth muscle 22α (ab14106, ABCAM, 1:50) and anti-smooth muscle heavy chain (ab53219, ABCAM, 1:50) were used for detecting smooth muscle contractile proteins, anti-von Willebrand factor (anti-vWF (A0082, DAKO, 1:200) and anti-CD31 (NB100–2284, Novus Biologicals, 1:100) for endothelial cell markers, anti-CD68 (ab31630, ABCAM, 1:100) for macrophage cell marker and anti- IL-1 beta (NB600–633, Novus Biologicals, 1:100) for pro-inflammatory cytokine. Alexa Fluor® 647 AffiniPure Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) (715–605-151, Jackson Immuno Research, 1:500), Alexa Fluor® 647 AffiniPure Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) (711–605-152, Jackson Immuno Research, 1:500), Alexa Fluor® 594 AffiniPure Donkey Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) (715–585-150, Jackson Immuno Research, 1:500) were used as secondary antibodies.

The immunohistochemistry was performed as reported earlier (Sethi 2013). Briefly tissue sections were de-paraffinized and rehydrated. The tissue peroxidases were inactivated with 0.5 % H2O2 in methanol for 20 min. Pepsin (2 mg/ml in 0.01 N HCl) was used to unmask antigen-binding sites (60 min) and then 1 % bovine serum albumin (BSA) in PBS was used to prevent non-specific binding (30 min). Next the tissues were incubated overnight (16 h) at 4 °C with the following antibodies: von Willebrand Factor (1:500, DAKO A0082), Toll-Like Receptor 4 (1:25, IMG-578A, IMGENEX) and Toll-Like Receptor 9 (1:50, IMG-3051, IMGENEX) followed by appropriate secondary antibody (vWF at 1:300 and TLR at 1:100, all from DAKO). VECTOR VIP Peroxidase Substrate Kit (Vector laboratories, Burlingame, CA) was used for colour-development ed followed by counter staining with methyl green (Vector laboratories).

Tumour cells were lysed in 2% SDS/PBS containing cOmplete protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche) and PhosSTOP phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (Roche). Lysate (20–50 μg) was then separated on a Tris-Glycine 4–20% gel. Human and murine Integrin β1 subunit were probed with a mouse monoclonal antibody (BD Biosciences 610467, Clone 18, 1:500). The murine Integrin αv subunit was probed with a mouse monoclonal antibody (BD Biosciences 611012, Clone 21, 1:500). Human VWF was probed with a rabbit polyclonal antibody (Dako, A0082, 1:500). Blots were simultaneously probed with a rabbit polyclonal antibody to the nuclear membrane protein Lamin A/C as a loading control (Santa Cruz Biotechnology sc-20681, 1:4000), and developed on a Li-Cor Odyssey. Densitometry was performed on Odyssey software v3.0. See Supplementary Table 3 for further details on antibodies.

Analysis of multimeric VWF was carried out as described28 using a polyclonal rabbit anti‐human VWF antibody (A0082; Dako) in combination with an alkaline phosphatase–conjugated polyclonal anti‐rabbit antibody (Promega) for detection of VWF. Multimeric ADAMTS13 was similarly analyzed by vertical agarose gel electrophoresis under nonreducing conditions. Appropriately diluted ADAMTS13 samples (22.5 μL) were mixed with 9 μL of a 750 mmol/L IAA solution and incubated for 10 minutes in darkness at RT. Following the addition of 31.5 μL sample buffer (70 mmol/L Tris, 4 mmol/L EDTA, 24 g/L sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS], 9 mol/L urea, 0.01 g/L bromophenol blue; pH 6.7), samples were incubated for 1 hour at 37°C before loading onto the agarose gel. After blotting, ADAMTS13 was detected with a polyclonal rabbit anti‐ADAMTS13 antibody (K1‐4; Baxter) in combination with an alkaline phosphatase–conjugated polyclonal anti‐rabbit antibody (Promega).

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded lung sections were stained with Alcian blue Elastin Van Gieson and immunostained for αSMA (α-smooth muscle actin; 1:150; Dako, M0851), von Willebrand factor (1:300; Dako, A0082), NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-B; 1:400; Cell Signaling, D14E12), F4/80 (1:100; Abcam, ab111101), iNOS (inducible NO synthase; 1:100; Abcam, ab15323), and CD206 (1:100; R&D Systems, AF2535). As isotype control, IgG and IgG2a were used. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded liver sections were stained with anti-F4/80 to confirm macrophage ablation. For immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent staining, a standard protocol was followed. Histological images were visualized using a Zeiss multislide scanning microscope (Imager.Z2; Carl Zeiss, Ltd) with an Axiocam 506 color camera (Zeiss) for immunohistochemical images and MRm camera (Zeiss) for immunofluorescent images. Slides were scanned sequentially using ×20 magnification objective lens, and the analysis was performed in Zen2 blue edition (Zeiss). For all tissue macrophage quantification, positively stained cells were counted in 6 fields of view at ×200 magnification and normalized to the control group.

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.
