Immunohistochemical Analysis of Aortic Aging

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Slides containing serial cross‐sections of thoracic descending aortic tissue or HAECs were immunostained with antiphosphorylated histone H2AX (anti‐γH2AX) antibody (Cell Signaling Technology) and then with Alexa‐488 conjugated secondary antibody. Hoechst 33342 or DAPI (4′,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole) was used to stain nucleic acids and to assess the formation of senescence‐associated heterochromatin foci. Anti–LOX‐1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX), anti‐TP53 (Cell Signaling Technology), anti‐p16INK4a (Abcam Inc., Cambridge, MA), and anti‐3‐nitrotyrosine (EMD Millipore, Darmstadt, Germany) antibodies were used to determine in situ the abundance of LOX‐1, TP53, p16INK4a, and 3‐nitrotyrosine in aortic tissue samples. Anti‐hTERT monoclonal antibody (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) was used to detect hTERT expression in HAECs. (Klokov, MacPhail, Banath, Byrne, & Olive, 2006). The semi‐quantification of immunofluorescence staining is described in the Supplemental Methods.

For immunoblotting analysis, the following antibodies were used: anti-AMPK and anti-3-nitrotyrosine purchased from Merck, KGaA (Darmstadt, Germany), anti-eNOS and anti-p-eNOS from BD biosciences (Heidelberg, Germany), anti-α-actinin and anti- ß-actin from Sigma-Aldrich, (Schnelldorf, Germany), and anti-Nrf-2 from Santa Cruz (Dallas, TX, USA). In addition, for immunohistochemical analysis, we used anti-endothelin-1 from ThermoFisher (Schwerte, Germany) and 3-nitrotyrosine antibody from Upstate Biotechnology (Waltham, MA, USA). Amplex Red Assay was applied to detect hydrogen peroxide (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR, USA). Glyceryl-trinitrate (GTN; nitrolingual infusion solution, 1 mg/mL) from G. Pohl-Boskamp (Hohenlockstedt, Germany) was used for isometric tension studies. All other reagents were acquired from Sigma-Aldrich, Fluka, or Merck.

Immunophenotyping of Formaldehyde-Fixed RBCs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RBCs were fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde in PBS (pH 7.4) for 10 min at room temperature, washed in the same buffer and permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 min at room temperature. After washing with PBS, samples were incubated for 30 min at 37°C with monoclonal antibodies: anti-ER-α, anti-ER-β, anti-phosphorylated ERK1/2 (BD PharMingen, San Diego, CA), anti-survivin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and anti-3-nitrotyrosine (Sigma Aldrich). After, all samples were washed thrice in PBS to be then incubated with secondary antibody FITC-conjugated: anti-mouse (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) or anti-rabbit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA). All the samples were recorded with a FACScan flow cytometer (Becton-Dickinson, Mountain View, CA, United States) equipped with a 488 United Statesnm argon laser. At least 20, 000 events were acquired. The median values of fluorescence intensity histograms were used to provide a semi-quantitative analysis. Morphometric analyses were also employed to evaluate ER-α and ER-β distribution. All samples were mounted on glass cover slips with fluorescence mounting medium (Dako) and observed by intensified video microscopy (IVM) with an Olympus Microphot fluorescence microscope (Olympus Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) equipped with a Zeiss CCD camera.

Multimodal Protein Characterization Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
SDS-PAGE was performed using 4-20% gels (BioRad) and ~1 μg of pure protein input. Proteins were visualized in-gel using a Coomassie Brilliant Blue R250 staining protocol. For Western Blotting, proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (BioRad reagents) and blots were probed using the Li-COR Odyssey® system and associated reagents for infrared secondary antibodies. Primary antibodies: 8-18C5 anti-MOG (mouse monoclonal, in-house production), anti-HIS-tag (mouse monoclonal, Serotec MCA1396), anti-3-nitrotyrosine (rabbit polyclonal, Sigma, N0409) applied 1:1000.
Isoelectric focusing (IEF) was performed using Novex® systems and reagents and ~5 μg of protein input.

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.
