Characterization of ECFC dysfunction in IUGR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
CTRL-ECFCs (n = 4–5) and IUGR-ECFCs (n = 4) were fixed using cold ethanol 70% and stained with sirtuin-1, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), 53BP-1 (rabbit, 1:100; cell signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), CD34, angiopoietin, angiomotin, VEGF-A, VEGFR-2, and thrombospondin-1 (rabbit, 1:100; Abcam, Cambridge, UK) overnight at 4 °C. ECFCs were then washed with PBS and incubated for 2 h with Alexa Fluor-488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (IgG 1:200), Abcam), and were rinsed with PBS and mounted using Fluoromount-G mounting medium with DAPI. Autofluorescence was subtracted. A negative control was obtained using incubation only with the secondary antibody. The slides were observed blindly using a fluorescence microscope (Eclipse Ti2 Series) by the same experimenter. Three images per culture well (2 wells per ECFCs) were captured. Fluorescence of each factor was normalized to DAPI fluorescence. The pictures were evaluated using ImageJ software. Each experiment was performed in duplicate.

Quantitative Western Blot for Liver Proteins

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Antibodies against rat phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase (phospho-AMPK) α and β, total AMPKα and AMPKβ, phosphorylated protein kinase A catalyst unit (phospho-PKA C), sirtuin-1, caspase 3 (CASP3), and GAPDH were purchased from Cell Signaling (Danvers, Mass). Anti-GRP78/BIP and anti–peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPAR-α) antibodies were purchased from Abcam (Cambridge, Mass). Anti-NLRP3 and anti–PGC-1α antibodies were purchased from EMD Millipore (Billerica, Mass). SuperSignal West Pico chemiluminescent substrate was purchased from Thermo Scientific Inc. (Rockford, Ill).
Approximately 40 mg of frozen liver tissue was homogenized in 150 mmol/L NaCl, 20 mmol/L Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 1% (wt/vol) NP-40, 1 mmol/L EDTA, 1 mmol/L EGTA, 1 mmol/L sodium orthovanadate, 1 mmol/L β-glycerol phosphate, 2.5 mmol/L sodium pyrophosphate, and 1× complete protease inhibitor mixture (Roche Molecular Biochemicals, Indianapolis, Ind). The homogenate was centrifuged at 12,000g for 30 min at 4°C, and the pellet discarded. Western blotting was performed with 30 µg of protein per well. Band intensities were quantified with the Image J software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md). GAPDH was used as loading control.

Immunoblotting was performed as described previously [40 (link)]. Briefly, thoracic aorta tissue and HUVEC lysates were sonicated, separated on a polyacrylamide gel and transferred onto PVDF membranes. Blocked membranes were proved with primary antibodies against p-eNOS (#9571, Cell Signaling Technologies, USA), eNOS (#32027, Cell Signaling Technologies), nitrotyrosine (#sc32757, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies, USA), p-IRE1α (#ab124945, Abcam, UK), IRE1α (#3294, Cell Signaling Technologies), sXBP-1 (#ab220783, Abcam), GRP78 (#sc166490, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies), CHOP (#2895, Cell Signaling Technologies), Sirtuin 1 (#8469, Cell Signaling Technologies), p-AMPK (#2535, Cell Signaling Technologies), AMPK (#5832, Cell Signaling Technologies), and β-actin (#sc47778, Santa Cruz Biotechnologies). Blots were washed with TBS-T buffer, blocked with 5% Skim milk or BSA during 1 h and probed again with species-specific horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibodies, anti-rabbit HRP 2nd antibody specifically for p-eNOS, eNOS, p-IRE1α, IRE1α, sXBP-1, CHOP, Sirtuin 1, p-AMPK, and AMPK and anti-mouse HRP 2nd antibody specifically for nitrotyrosine, GRP78 and β-actin. Protein signals were developed using ECL (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), and their quantifications were performed by measuring the band intensity using the Image J analysis system (NIH, Bethesda, MD, USA).

Quantification of Renal Protein Levels

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein level in the renal tubule cells and kidney tissues was determined by Western blotting as previously described15 (link). The sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-PAGE was used to separate equal amount of proteins, and then transferred electrophoretically onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were incubated with primary antibodies for GRP78 (#3183), Chop (#2895), Bax (#2772), Bcl-2 (#15071), cleaved caspase-3 (#9664), Sirtuin-1 (Sirt1; #8469), phosphorylated NFκB-p65 (#3033) (Cell Signalling, Danvers, MA, USA), catalase (#ab16731), superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1; #ab13498), Klotho (#ab203576), CD68 (#ab125212) (abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), NFκB-p65 (#sc-8008), cyclooxygenase (Cox)-2 (#sc1745), β-actin (#sc-47778) (Santa Cruz, Dallas, TX, USA), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS; #610329) (BD, Franklin Lakes, NJ, USA), and Ly6G (#14-5931-82) (eBioscience, San Diego, CA), and then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). The signals were detected by using enhanced chemiluminescence substrates (Bio-Rad), and developed with a Fuji Blue X-Ray Film. Protein bands were quantitated by using ImageJ software. The raw data/full blot summary is available in the Supplementary Fig. 5.

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.
