Bladder tissue was analyzed for signs of inflammation with standard HE staining. Free floating immunohistochemistry was performed for spinal cord c-fos experiments. Tissue was rinsed with 0.1 M PBS solution containing 0.1 % (v/v) bovine serum albumin and 0.3 % (v/v) Triton-X-100 (PBS-BT). Tissue was incubated overnight with a c-fos (4) antibody (c-fos (4) sc-52 rabbit-polyclonal Lot # L 1809, Santa Cruz®, Santa Cruz, USA) dissolved in PBS-BT at room temperature. We used 0.1 M PBS pH 7.3 for further rinsing steps. Tissue was incubated with a donkey-a-rabbit IgG biotin conjugated secondary antibody (Jackson Imm Research®, West Grove, USA) in PBS-BT for 90 min, following incubation with Vector ABC elite® (Vector, Burlingame, USA) for 90 min. Tissue was incubated using a DAB solution containing 10 μl DAB (Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, USA) and 150 mg ammonium-nickel-sulfate dissolved in 50 ml 0.05 M Tris buffered saline for 10 min, followed by a 10 min incubation with the same DAB-nickel solution with the addition of perhydrol (5 μl in 25 ml DAB-nickel solution). Tissue was mounted on objects glasses coated with gelatin and dried overnight at 37 °C, then dehydrated with ethanol and xylene and mounted with Permount® (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, USA). Sections were analyzed by using binocular (Leica DMR®) microscope and processed with image J 1.41o® software.

GUS staining was conducted using β-Galactosidase Reporter Gene Staining Kit (Beijing Leagene Biotech. Co., Ltd., Cat No./ID: DP0013, Beijing, China). Samples were placed into GUS staining solution and incubated at 37°C overnight. The tissues then were placed in 95% ethanol until chlorophyll was washed out, and samples were photographed. The tissues were stored in Formaldehyde-Acetic Acid-Ethanol (FAA) Fix Solution (Wuhan Servicebio Technology Co., Ltd., Cat No./ID: G1103-500 ML, Wuhan, China). For H2O2 visualization with DAB staining, leaves were put in 1mg/ml DAB (3, 3'-Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride hydrate; Sigma-Aldrich, Cat No./ID: D5637-1G, Darmstadt, Germany) and vacuum infiltrated until DAB solution was taken up, after which the leaves were incubated in DAB staining solution for 16h in the dark. The leaves were subsequently transferred to 95% ethanol for 24h to remove chlorophyll. Afterward, leaves were photographed (Kissoudis, 2016 ).

Sections were then processed in two series. The first series was stained (brown/orange) with 0.4% 3,3’-diaminobenzidine (DAB, Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA) in PBS supplemented with H2O2 at progressively increasing concentrations (0.00025%, 0.0005%, 0.001%, 0.002%, 0.004%). The second series was first rinsed with 0.1 M Tris-HCl (pH 7.4, 15 min) and then stained (black/gray) with 0.4% DAB (Sigma-Aldrich) + 2% ammonium nickel sulfate in Tris buffer supplemented with increasing concentrations of H2O2 as described above. After rinsing in respective buffer, sections on glass slides were cover-slipped with Eukitt (Sigma-Aldrich).

To visualize H2O2 localization, leaves from all the treatments were immersed in a 1% solution of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 6.5), vacuum-infiltrated for 5 min placed in closed vacuum jar attached with suction pump to apply and release vacuum. After vacuum infiltration leaves were incubated at room temperature (25°C) for 2–3 h in the absence of light. Leaves were illuminated until the appearance of brown spots characteristic of the reaction of DAB (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) with H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide). Leaves were bleached by immersing in boiling ethanol to visualize the brown spots and were photographed with a digital camera (Nikon, Japan) at a default setting of 600 dpi.
For the visualization of O2−1, leaves were immersed in a 0.1% solution of nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) in K-phosphate buffer (pH 6.4), containing 10 mM Na-azide (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA), and were vacuum-infiltrated for 5 min placed in closed vacuum jar attached with suction pump to apply and release vacuum. After vacuum infiltration leaves were illuminated until the appearance of dark blue spots (characteristic of blue formazan precipitate). After bleaching in boiling ethanol, the leaf samples were photographed as described above.

The histochemical GUS staining of the homozygous T3 transgenic lines harboring proAtSIBP1::GUS was done as described [35 (link)]. For DAB (3, 3’-Diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride) staining, five Arabidopsis rosette leaves treated with NaCl were placed in 5 mL tubes supplemented with a 3 mL DAB staining solution (1 mg/mL DAB, Sigma-Aldrich, adjusted to pH 3.8 with HCl), then vacuumed for 5 min. After 6 h of incubation in the dark with gentle shaking, the leaves were immersed in a bleaching solution (ethanol, acetic acid, and glycerol = 3:1:1) and boiled for 20 min to decolorize the leaves (except for the deep brown polymerization product that was produced by the reaction of DAB with H2O2), and then the images were captured.

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.
