SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Lung Pathology

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissues were obtained from autopsy of 11 patients with PCR confirmed SARS-CoV-2 and death due to COVID-related pneumonia and diffuse alveolar damage. Lung tissue from 3 patients with death due to non-pulmonary-related causes and no evidence of pneumonia or other pulmonary histopathological abnormalities were used as control. Tissues were fixed in 10% buffered formalin and paraffin embedded (FFPE). Immunofluorescence staining was performed on the Ventana Discovery Ultra instrument (Roche). Tissue sections were deparaffinized and antigen retrieval was performed using citrate buffer (pH = 8.0) at 72 oC (CC1; Roche). Tissue sections were first probed with rabbit anti-ASC (AG-25B-0006, AdipoGen) followed by anti-Rabbit HRP (760-4311, Roche) and fluorescent visualization using tyramide signal amplification (Red610, Roche). Residual peroxidase was blocked (760-4840, Roche), followed by application of mouse anti-CD68 (KP-1, Roche), OmniMap anti-mouse HRP (Roche) and visualization using Discovery Rhod6G (Roche). Representative immunofluorescence images were acquired using a Leica DMi8 microscope and for analysis the slides were scanned using a Zeiss AxiosScan Z1. Staining and imaging were performed by the Cedars-Sinai Biobank and Translational Research Core. ASC speck quantification was performed using open source QuPath software (version 0.2.3) (Bankhead et al., 2017 (link)).

LNCaP/AR cells were seeded on round glass coverslips. After 24 hr, cells were washed with PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min at room temperature, followed by permeabilization with 0.5% Triton X-100 for 5 min. Then cells were incubated with primary antibodies (Rabbit anti-GR, CST, #12041; mouse anti-NR2F1 R&D, PP-H8132-00), overnight at 4°C after blocking with 3% BSA/PBS for 30 min at room temperature, followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor-labeled secondary antibodies (Alexa Fluor® 488 AffiniPure Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L), Jackson Immunoresearch; Alexa Fluor® 594 AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L), Jackson Immunoresearch) for 1hr at room temperature. Nuclei were stained with DAPI. Images were acquired on Leica DMi8 microscope and Zeiss LSM 700 confocal Laser Scanning Microscope. Three biological replicated, representative images of each cell line were used to quantify the fluorescence intensity of GR and NR2F1 signals, using imageJ.

PAECs were fixed with NBF for 5 min and washed with PBS. For permeabilization, cells were incubated with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 min. After blocking with 1% BSA in PBS for 1 h, the primary antibodies were applied overnight at 4 °C. FN (1:200; BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), MMP2 (1:200; Cell Signaling Technology), and POSTN (1:300; Abcam) antibodies were used. The secondary antibodies used were goat anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor 488 and 568. Images were obtained using a Leica DMI8 microscope and a Zeiss confocal microscope.

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.
