The hippocampi of rats were rapidly collected and stored in liquid nitrogen immediately. The protein concentration was tested using a Pierce bicinchoninic acid (BCA) protein assay kit (Thermo scientific). Samples containing 40 μg of total protein were separated in 10%–15% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)‐polyacrylamide gels and then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes (0.22 μm; Millipore Corp). The membranes were blocked in TBST containing 5% nonfat dry milk for 90 min and incubated with the following primary antibodies overnight at 4°C: anti‐PSD95 (goat monoclonal antibody; Abcam, 1:2,000), anti‐SYP (rabbit monoclonal antibody; Abcam, 1:2,000), anti‐GAP43 (rabbit monoclonal antibody; Abcam, 1:2,000), anti‐BDNF (rabbit monoclonal antibody; Abcam, 1:2,000), anti‐p‐CREB (phosphor S133, rabbit monoclonal antibody; Abcam, 1:5,000), anti‐CREB (rabbit monoclonal antibody; Abcam, 1:2,000), and anti‐β‐actin antibody (1:500, mouse monoclonal antibody; Boster, 1:500). On the next day, the membranes were incubated with the corresponding secondary antibody (anti‐goat/rabbit/mouse IgG; ZSGB‐BIO, 1:5,000) for 90 min at room temperature. After using clarity western electrochemiluminescence (ECL) substrate (Bio‐Rad), protein bands were visualized in the Bio‐Rad Imager. The intensities of the protein bands were analyzed by densitometry using Syngene imaging systems.

Samples obtained from all protocols were analyzed by Western blots with 4-12% SDS-PAGE (Invitrogen, NP0322BOX). Western blot assays were performed as described previously (Sherwood et al., 2010 (link)). The following primary antibodies were used for immunoblotting: anti-LDH-A (1/1000, Santa Cruz, sc- 27230), anti-LDH-B (1/500, Novus Biologicals, NB100-79987), and anti-LDH (1/1000, Santa Cruz, sc-133123). Antibodies were characterized in detail before being used for research (see the Supplemental Material). The blots were also probed with antibodies against cell-specific marker proteins: anti-GFAP (glial marker, 1/1000, Santa Cruz, sc-9065) and anti-SYP (presynaptic neuronal marker, 1/1000, Abcam, ab14692). For detection of antibodies, appropriate peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibodies were used in conjunction with enhanced chemiluminescence (Amersham Pharmacia Biosciences) to obtain images saved on film. The signals were quantitatively evaluated with Scion Image software. Equal protein loading was confirmed with anti-β-actin antibody (1/1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-1616). Protein bands were scanned using an EPSON Perfection 4870 Photo scanner and quantitatively analyzed by Scion Image software.

Next, the membranes were washed for 3 × 10 min and the immunoreactive bands were detected by the Bio-Rad Chemi Doc XRS + imaging system.

The extraction of total proteins from brain tissues was completed with RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA, USA). A BCA Protein Quantification Kit (Key GEN Biotech, Nanjing, China) was used to measure the protein concentration. Protein samples of the same amount (30 μg) were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were sealed with 5% milk and combined with anti-NLRP3 (1:1000, #15101, Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA, USA), anti-SYP (1:1000, #ab52636, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-PSD95 (1:5000, #ab2723, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-β-actin (1:1000, #4970, Cell Signaling Technology, Boston, MA, USA), anti-GFAP (1:1000, #ab68428, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Iba-1 (1:1000, #ab178846, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) at 4 °C overnight. Next, we used the corresponding secondary antibody to incubate the film at room temperature for 2 h. Immune complexes were assessed with an ECL kit (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and the results were quantified by ImageJ.

Paraffin-embedded 4-mm-thick specimens were dewaxed in turpentine and rehydrate through decreased concentrations of ethanol. Antigen retrieval was not performed. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked by using 3% H2O2 in methnal for 10min and then soaked with phosphate buffered saline (PBS) (pH 7.2–7.4) three times for 5 min. The sections were then pre-incubated with 0.25% trypsin-EDTA for 10 min to block non-specific antigens. The tissue sections were allowed to react overnight at 4°C with anti-SYP (dilution 1/100; Abcam) TET3 (dilution 1/200, Abcam) antibodies. The slides were then incubated at room temperature for 1h, rinsed with PBS three times and incubated with appropriate biotinylated secondary antibodies for 30 min. For the quantification of immunohistochemistry, 10 fields of each section were viewed and analysed with an image analysis program (Bioquant, Nashville, TN).

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.
