Cells were cultured in 8-well chamber slides and irradiated by LINAC at 5, 15 and 25 Gy doses. Cells were fixed 24, 72 or 120 h after radiation with 4% paraformaldehyde prior to blocking and incubation with anti-ICAM-1 antibody (ab119871, Abcam) or IgG2b isotype (ab18541, Abcam) that was fluorescently tagged using Mix-n-StainTMCFTM555 antibody labelling kit (Sigma-Aldrich), or anti-VCAM-1 antibody (ab61993, Abcam) or IgG1 isotype (ab18407, Abcam) labelled using Mix-n-StainTMCFTM640 antibody labelling kit (Sigma-Aldrich). Nuclei were stained using 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (1 μg/mL, Life Technologies). Images were captured with fixed parameters using a confocal microscope (SP5, Leica Microsystems, Wetzlar, Germany) and analyzed with ImageJ.

Samples of equal size were taken from the ear skin, lymph nodes, and small intestine and fixed in 10% neutral buffered formalin for 24 h at 4°C. Paraffin-embedded tissue sections (3–4-μm thick) were stained with hematoxylin and eosin. The sections were stained with toluidine blue for detection of mast cells in the skin and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) for detection of goblet cells in the small intestine. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1; ab119871, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, United States) and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP; ab115700, Abcam) in the epidermis and dermis of skin, Foxp3 (FJK-16s, Thermo Fisher) in lymph nodes, and tight junction markers, such as claudin-5 (4C3C2, Thermo Fisher), occludin (OC-3F10, Thermo Fisher), and zonula occludens (ZO)-1 (61–7,300, Thermo Fisher), in the tissues of the small intestine were observed by avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex-based immunohistochemical staining. The histological profiles of individual cross-sections of ear skin were observed under a light microscope (Eclipse 80i, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan).

Cardiac tissue samples for western blotting were obtained from the infarcted area. Proteins isolated from sI/R-treated CMECs were also analyzed through western blots. In brief, proteins were separated by SDS electrophoresis and transferred to membranes using standard protocols,67 (link) after which they were probed with antibodies against p-eNOS (Ser1117) (1:1,000, #ab184154; Abcam), ET-1 (1:1,000, #ab2786; Abcam), ICAM1 (1:1,000, #ab119871; Abcam), VCAM1 (1:1,000, #ab134047; Abcam), Gr1 (1:1,000, #ab25377; Abcam), FUNDC1 (1:1,000, #ab224722; Abcam), ATG5 (1:1,000, #12994, Cell Signaling Technology), and Beclin1 (1:1,000, #3738; Cell Signaling Technology). The blots were visualized by chemiluminescence (ECL, Immunobilon Western Chemiluminescent HRP Substrate, Millipore Corporation, MA, USA), and the signals were quantified by densitometry. GAPDH (analyzed with an antibody from Santa Cruz Biotechnology) served as a loading control.68 (link)

The paraffin-embedded tissue was sliced into 3 μm sections. The antigen
was recovered with citrate buffer for 20 min, followed by deactivated
endogenous peroxidase with 3% H2O2 for 20 min
and sealing with 5% bovine serum albumin for 10 min. The sections were
then treated overnight at 4°C with anti-PCNA monoclonal antibody
(13110, Cell Signaling, 1:50 dilution), anti-α-SMA antibody (ab134047,
Abcam, 1:500 dilution), anti-p38 antibody (ab119871, Abcam, 1:100

1:100 dilution). Horseradish peroxidase conjugated secondary antibody
was added to the slices after wash with phosphate-buffered saline
(PBS). The diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB) was used to
visualize. All images were acquired by an Olympus-IX73 microscope
(Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). At least three sections per graft were

Anti-VCAM1: ab134047 (Abcam), anti-ICAM1: ab119871 (Abcam), anti-CD68: ab125212 (Abcam), anti-rabbit IgG: BA-1000 (Vector Laboratories), anti rat-IgG: BA-9401 (Vector Laboratories).
For quantifitative analyses, the percentage of positively stained endothelial cells (ICAM-1- and VCAM-1-stainings) or the percentage of positively stained intimal area (CD68 staining) was calculated. Of note, endothelial cells were defined based on characteristic histomorphological features (cells with thin elongated nuclei constituting the luminal lining of the vessel). A minimum of three cross sections from the proximal, medial and distal part of the vessel were analysed and a vessel mean calculated.

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.
