Total protein was extracted by mixing cells with radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer (#P0013B, Beyotime, China), which was supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Next, the proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to NC membranes (#66485, Pall Inc., USA). The resulting membranes were incubated with 5% milk/TBST for 2 h at room temperature.

IHC analysis was performed using the following antibodies: rabbit anti-p21 (diluted 1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Bcl3 (diluted 1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Bcl3 (diluted 1:100, Protechtein) anti-IL8 (diluted 1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-CD68 (diluted 1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-iNOS (diluted 1:100, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and anti-CD163 (diluted 1:200, Abcam, Cambridge, UK). The detailed method has been published previously [42 (link)]. Five fields in each section were randomly selected to calculate the ratio of positive expression area. For the analysis, the positive intensity of IHC is calculated by counting the number of positive cells in the field of random collection for each marker. For IF, rabbit anti-HNF-4α (diluted 1:50, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-p21 (diluted 1:50, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Bcl3 (diluted 1:50, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), and anti-IL8 (diluted 1:50, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) were used.

Immunofluorescence was performed, as described in detail recently without modifications6 (link). Specifically, liver tissue was fixed with paraformaldehyde, cryo-protected in sucrose, and frozen in O.C.T. (Tissue-Tek). Frozen liver sections (5 μm) were permeabilized in ice-cold methanol, then room temperature 0.1% Triton X-100, and then reacted with DAPI at 0.08 ng/mL (Invitrogen, D1306) and the antibodies indicated below. Anti-eGFP (Invitrogen, #A-11122), Anti-HNF4α (Abcam, #ab41898), Anti-HAL (Sigma Prestige Antibodies, #HPA038547), anti-Cytokeratin 7 (Abcam, #ab68459), anti-albumin (Bethyl, #A80229A), anti-KIAA0319L (AAVR, Abcam, #ab105385), anti-CD68 (Invitrogen, #14068882) antibodies were used as indicated. For Figs. 3k, and 4h–k antigen retrieval was required. This was achieved by heating the slides for ten minutes in antigen retrieval buffer (Tris-EDTA, pH 9). After immunolabelling, the images were captured and analyzed on a LSM800-Airyscan microscope using ZEN Black software.

Liver Protein Expression Analysis

Liver tissues were homogenized using an extraction buffer containing proteinase inhibitors (Jianglai Biotech, Shanghai, China). The lysates were then centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min at 4°C, and the protein concentrations were determined using a protein assay kit (Bio-Rad Laboratories Inc., Hercules, CA). Twenty microgram of proteins was electrophoresed on a 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel and then transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA). The membranes were blocked with 5% skin milk in Tris-buffered saline containing 0.1% Tween-20 for 1 hr at room temperature. Then the membranes were incubated with primary antibodies to anti-ALB (Santa Cruz; 1:200), anti-CK18 (Abcam; 1:200), or anti-HNF4α (Abcam; 1:200) at 4°C overnight, and incubated with the horseradish peroxidaseconjugated secondary antibodies for 1 hr at room temperature. Specific protein bands were developed using an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit (Amersham, Piscataway, NJ). The membranes were also probed with β-actin antibody as loading control.

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.
