Isolation and Flow Cytometric Analysis of Lung and Liver Cells

Bone marrow was prepared for flow cytometry as previously described1 (link). For analysis of lung, tissues were minced and then digested at 37°C for 20 min with an enzyme cocktail (collagenase A, dispase and DNaseI, Roche Applied Science). Single-cell suspensions were prepared by filtering through a 70-μm strainer and passing through an 18G syringe. Lung fibroblasts were identified by flow cytometry using an anti-mouse rabbit polyclonal S100A4 (1:50, Abcam; ab27957), or SPC (1:100, Santa Cruz; FL-197), revealed by Alexa Fluor 568-conjugated goat anti-rabbit secondary (A-11011, Life Technologies, 1:400). For liver, tissues were mechanically dissociated, and single-cell suspensions were filtered through a 40-μm strainer. Allophycocyanin-conjugated F4/80 (1:100, eBioscience; clone BM8) was used to identify liver macrophages by flow cytometry. Cell fluorescence indicating fluorescently labelled exosome uptake was analysed using a FACSCalibur or a FACSCanto (Beckton Dickinson). FACS data was analysed with FlowJo software (TreeStar Inc.).

For histological analysis, tissues were dissected and fixed in a mix of 2% PFA and 20% sucrose in PBS overnight, then embedded in Tissue-tek O.C.T. embedding compound. Blocks were frozen in a dry-ice/ethanol bath. For immunofluorescence, 6 μm O.C.T tissue cryosections were stained with antibodies against F4/80 (1:100, eBioscience; BM8), fibronectin (1:50, Santa Cruz; IST-9), S100A4 (1:100, Abcam; ab27957), SPC (1:100, Santa Cruz; FL-197), laminin (1:50, abcam; ab11575), CD31 (1:100, Santa Cruz; MEC 13.3), EpCAM (1:50, Santa Cruz; HEA125). Secondary antibodies conjugated to Alexa Fluor 488 or 549 were used (A-11001 and A-11007, Life Technologies). Fluorescent images were obtained using a Nikon confocal microscope (Eclipse TE2000U) and analysed using Nikon software (EZ-C1 3.6).

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.
