Cells were plated on glass coverslips (Fisher Scientific) in 12-well culture dishes and grown to approximately 50% confluence for 24 h to promote adherence. The cells were then fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min and permeabilised with PBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 for 15 min. They were then incubated with blocking solution (Beyotime) for 30 min. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (α-SMA and NPY(1–36), Sigma; NPY1R, AbCam) at 4 °C overnight and then incubated with Alexa Fluor 488 or Alexa Fluor 555 secondary antibody (Invitrogen) at room temperature for 1 h. Nuclei were stained with Hoechst 33342 (Invitrogen) for 5 min. Following a final three washes with PBS, the cells were imaged by fluorescence microscopy DMI4000B (Leica).

Total protein was extracted from bone using RIPA buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Haimen, China) containing 1% phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride. A bicinchoninic acid (BCA) assay kit (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) was used to determine the protein concentration. The sample was resolved using 10% SDS-PAGE, transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride membrane, and blocked with 5% skim milk. The membrane was incubated with primary antibodies against Zip1 (1: 100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, California, USA), NPY (1:100; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), NPY1R (1:500; Abcam), type I collagen α1 chain (COL1A1; 1:300; CST, Boston, MA, USA), runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2; 1:1000; Bioss, Beijing, China) and GAPDH (1:1000; Key-GEN, Nanjing, China) overnight at 4°C. Membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-labeled secondary antibodies, and the proteins were visualized using enhanced chemiluminescence (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology). The expression of target genes was evaluated using gray value analysis, which was normalized to the GAPDH reference gene.

Secondary antibodies used were mouse IgG (GE Healthcare Life Sciences NXA931) and rabbit IgG (GE Healthcare Life Sciences NA934) GE Healthcare. Mouse or rabbit IgG (sc-2025 or sc-2027) for chromatin immunoprecipitation was from Santa Cruz Biotechnology. GSK-J4 and THZ1 were from Abmole.

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.
