Briefly, slides were washed in PBS (10 mM), then glycine (0.1 M, diluted in PBS 10 M) and then in PBS-T (0.1% Triton X-100; Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Sections were incubated with bovine serum albumin Fraction V (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA) in PBS-T and then with anti-parvalbumin primary antibody (1:2000; Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) overnight. Afterwards, slides were washed in PBS, and incubated with secondary antibody conjugated to fluorophore (Alexa-594; 1:1000; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) for 2 h. Slides were then washed in PBS and mounted with Fluoroshield medium with DAPI (Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA).
Fluoroshield medium with dapi
Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States
Fluoroshield medium with DAPI is a mounting medium designed for the preservation and visualization of fluorescently labeled samples. It contains the fluorescent dye DAPI, which stains DNA and facilitates the identification of cell nuclei.

HEK293T/17-hACE2 cells were plated on cover glass pre-coated with rat-tail collagen, type I (C3867, Sigma-Aldrich) and cultivated for 24 h in DMEM with 10% FCS. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and labelled with anti-human ACE2 antibody at 10 µg/ml (cat. # 600-401-X59; Rockland Immunochemicals), followed by goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody at 1/500 dilution (Alexa Fluor 488; #A-11008; Invitrogen). The samples were mounted in Fluoroshield™ medium with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich). Images were captured by LSM 710 confocal microscope (Zeiss, Jena, Germany).

Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 min at 37°C, blocked and permeabilized with 5% BSA and PBS 0.1% Triton-X100 for 60 min at room temperature (RT), were washed three times and incubated O/N with primary antibody anti-Iba1 (1:500, rabbit polyclonal antibody; Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Osaka, Japan) and anti-GFAP (1:200, mouse monoclonal antibody, ab 10,062, Abcam) in 5% BSA 0.1% Triton-X100 PBS. Slides were washed three times and incubated with the secondary fluorescent antibodies, Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (Invitrogen) and Alexa Fluor 546 goat anti-mouse IgG (Invitrogen), both diluted 1:2000 in 5% BSA 0.1% Triton-X100 PBS, for 2 h at room temperature (RT) in the dark. The slides were mounted using Fluoroshield medium with DAPI (Sigma). Labelled cells were analysed with fluorescence microscope Zeiss LSM710. The microscope pictures were processed with Zen10 software (Zeiss).

Non-fixed hearts were snapfrozen on dry ice and stored until further use. 10 mm cryosections were acquired from the three-valve area and air dried for 1e2 h before storage at À80 C. Cryosections were washed in reaction buffer (150 mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl 2 , 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH ¼ 7.6) and incubated in reaction buffer containing 30 mg/mL DQ-Gelatin (Molecular probes) and 20 mM MMP2inhibitor OA-Hycis-9-Octadeconoyl-N-hydroxylamide (Merck Millipore) overnight at 37 C. 1 mM 1,10-phenantrolin is an MMP inhibitor and thus served as a control. After incubation, the sections were washed in reaction buffer and subsequently incubated in 0.5% Chicago Sky Blue (Sigma) for 5 min to dampen autofluorescence. Finally, the slides were mounted in Fluoroshield medium with DAPI (Sigma) and imaged using the Leica Image analysis system (Leica Ltd).
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.
