Tg CypD+, CypD−, and nonTg mouse brains were fixed by perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde and coronal sections (30 μm) were cut with a Vibratome (Leica VTS1000, Wetzlar Germany). Sections were collected and immersed in wash buffer (0.1 M sodium phosphate, 0.5 M sodium chloride, 0.1% Triton X-100, pH 7.4) for 1 hour. After preincubation with blocking solution (10% normal goat serum, 0.3% Triton X-100 in PBS , pH 7.4) for one hour at room temperature, sections were co-immunostained with primary antibodies [mouse anti-CypD (Ab110324, 1:500; Abcam) and rabbit anti-SODII (1:5000, ADI-SOD-111, Enzo life Sciences, USA) or rabbit anti-MAP2 (1 : 500, A16657, life technologies, USA) at 4 °C for overnight. Sections were then incubated with Alexa Fluor 594-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG and 488 goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies (1 : 1000, Invitrogen) for 1 h at room temperature. Nuclei were stained by DRAQ5 (5 μM, Cell Signaling) for 10 min at room temperature. The staining images were taken under confocal microscopy. Brain sections incubated with non-immune IgG or 2nd antibody alone were used as negative controls. An investigator who was blinded to experimental groups analyzed all images. For quantification of human CypD staining, brain sections were randomly selected and measured using MetaMorph software (Molecular Devices, CA).

Western Blot Analysis of CypD and DCX

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Western blot analysis was performed as described [42 (link)]. Specifically, anti-CypD (1:1000, ab110324, Abcam) and anti-DCX (1:500, ab113435, Abcam) were used to detect CypD and DCX separately. β-actin antibody (1:5000, 42 kDa, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) was used to detect β-actin as a loading control. Quantification of Western blots was performed as described previously [42 (link)]. A protein levels of 100% indicates control levels. Signal intensity was analyzed using a Bio-Rad (Hercules, CA, USA) image program. The Western blots were quantified using two steps. First, β-actin levels were used to normalize (e.g., determining the ratio of CypD levels to β-actin levels) for any loading differences in total protein amounts. Second, changes in CypD levels in treated cells were presented as percentages of the corresponding levels in the control cells. Each band in the Western blot represented an independent experiment. The results were averaged by six independent experiments.

The cultured cells were seeded onto six-well plates, and their differentiation potency was characterized and tested using immunofluorescence staining analysis. To fix the cells, 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) was used. Mouse monoclonal anti-nestin antibody (1:500, Abcam, Boston, MA, USA), rabbit polyclonal anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody (1:500, Abcam), and mouse monoclonal anti-β-tubulin III antibody (1:500, Abcam) were used for NPCs identification. D4′, 6′-diamidion-2′-phenylindole (DAPI, 1:1000, Abcam) was used to counterstain the nuclei. To detect CypD and Complex V (mitochondrial marker), anti-CypD (1:200, ab110324, Abcam) and anti-complex V (1:200, 45, 9000, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) antibodies were used. After fixing the cells for 20 min, they were placed in 0.1% Triton X-100 for 30 min, followed by a blocking buffer (10% goat serum) for 1 h. The cells were then incubated with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Samples were incubated in secondary antibodies [fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) or tetramethylrhodamine isothiocyanate (TRITC)-conjugated IgG] for 2 h, followed by DAPI incubation for 5 min at room temperature. The slides were rinsed with DPBS, and the images were captured using a laser confocal microscope (TSC SP2, Leica, Manheim, Germany).

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.
