For IHC, the deparaffinized and hydrated sections were treated with 0.05 M citrate buffer (pH 6.8) for antigen retrieval followed by 0.3% hydrogen peroxide. The nonspecific antigen-antibody binding was blocked through the addition of normal serum for 20 min.

The protein levels were detected as the previously performed [35 (link)]. The exosome samples (exosome from control or PD groups, Exo-control or Exo-PD) were lysed in lysis buffer containing 50 mM Tris–HCl, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 0.5% NP-40, and 1 mM PMSF with protease inhibitor mixture, pH 8.0. The supplement was collected after being centrifugated at 14,000 g for 10 min at 4 °C. The loading buffer was added to the protein samples and boiled for 5 min at 98 °C. The protein samples were resolved by 12% SDS-PAGE and then transferred to PVDF membranes for immunoblotting. PVDF membranes were blocked in blocking buffer (1 X TBS containing 5% skim milk) at room temperature for 1 h, followed by diluting with primary antibodies and HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies. The immunoblotting bands were visualized with an ECL kit (Sangon). Images were captured using a chemiluminescence imaging analysis system (Tanon, 5200) and analyzed with the ImageJ.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Liver samples fixed in 10% NBF for 24 h were processed for paraffin embedding and 5-µm sections were cut using a microtome. The sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) as previously described [63 ]. To evaluate changes in the expression levels of iNOS, Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, and Nrf2, sections from the liver were dewaxed and 0.05 M citrate buffer (pH 6.8) was used for antigen retrieval. The slides were treated with 0.3% hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), washed in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and probed with anti-iNOS (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA; 1:20 dilution), anti-Bax (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; 1:100 dilution), anti-Bcl-2 (Abcam, Cambridge, UK; 1:100 dilution), anti-caspase-3 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA; 1:100 dilution), and anti-Nrf2 (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA; 1:100 dilution) overnight at 4 °C. The slides were washed in PBS, incubated with secondary antibodies, and color was developed by incubation with DAB in H2O2 [64 ]. Mayer’s hematoxylin was used for counterstaining, and the slides were visualized under a light microscope. The intensity of the developed color was determined in 6 fields/slide using ImageJ (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

By immersing in xylene and descending graded concentration of ethanol solutions, paraffin-embedded sections were sliced, deparaffinized, and hydrated before being microwave antigen retrieving treated. After that, a 0.3 % hydrogen peroxide per methanol solution was utilized to stop endogenous peroxidase activity. The prepared slides were cooled at ambient temperature, and nonspecific binding was blocked with normal serum for 20 min at ambient temperature. Then, they were blended with anti-Bax, anti-caspase 3, anti-Nrf2, anti-Bcl-2 (all purchased from Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA), and anti-NF-κB p65 (purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnol., Dallas, TX, USA) and preserved 24 hrs in the refrigerator at 4 °C. The 2ry antibodies were smeared after washing the slides with PBS several times. The color expansion was prompted via incubation with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine-tetrahydrochloride-H2O2 solution, and then all prepared sections were stained with Mayer’s hematoxylin and examined by light microscopy. Staining intensity was estimated and achieved as a positive expression% in 1000 cells per 8 HPF for NF-ĸB p65, caspase 3, and Bax, while Nrf2 and Bcl-2 immunostaining was verified via the zone of + ve expression by applying ImageJ evaluation software (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

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.
