Immunohistochemical detection of ANGPTL4 (1:400 dilution; Abcam, Cambridge, MA) and CD34 (1:500 dilution; Covance, Princeton, NJ) was performed in paraffin-embedded tissue sections using premixed biotinylated anti-rabbit, anti-mouse and anti-goat immunoglobulins in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) from an ABC system (Dako, Santa Clara, CA) performed according to the manufacturer’s protocols as previously described[16 (link), 17 (link)]. All immunohistochemical reagents, including antibodies, were identical for all specimens. Images were captured by scanning slides using the Aperio ScanScope program on Aperio Scanscope XT® System (Leica Biosystems, Wetzlar, Germany).

Serum samples were tested to detect multiple biochemical parameters using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, including CHOL (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), TG (Abcam), LPS (CUSABIO, Wuhan, China), HDL-C and LDL/VLDL-C (Abcam), and ANGPTL4 (Abcam).
Fecal lipid was determined in accordance with previous studies.39 In brief, fecal samples were collected from all groups when the mice were killed. After being dried at 60°C to a constant weight, samples were ground to a fine powder and then extracted 3 times with ethanol 95 % at 60°C. After filtration and evacuation, fecal TG and CHOL were detected by using commercial kits (Abcam).

Blood glucose measurements were made using glucometer (Bayer). β-hydroxybutrate, creatinine, and triglycerides (plasma and liver) were quantified using commercially available kits as per manufacturer’s protocols (Cayman Chemicals). Concentrations of plasma cytokines (IL-6, TNF, IL-10, MCP1, IL12p70, IFNγ) were determined using Mouse Inflammation CBA kit (BD Biosciences). Blood urea nitrogen (BioAssay Systems), troponin (LifeSpan Biosciences), Serum Amyloid A (abcam), Creatine Kinase (abcam), and Angptl4 (abcam) were quantified in plasma using kits and instructions from the respective companies. All plasma samples were stored at −80°C prior to analysis.

Total RNA was extracted from cells using TRIzol reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The purity of RNA was determined by NanoDrop ND‐1000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific) qPCR was conducted using the appropriate primers and a Bio‐Rad CFX96 system with SYBR green to determine the mRNA expression levels of genes in cells. GAPDH was used as endogenous controls and further analysed by the 2∆DDCT method. All the primers used for qPCR are listed in the supplement data.
Total proteins were isolated from A549 and H1299 cells and dissolved in Ripa buffer which containing protease inhibitor (sigma, USA). The total protein concentration was determined by BCA analysis kit (Rockford Pierce, Illinois, USA). Total protein samples (30 mg) were analysed by 10% SDS‐PAGE gel and transferred to PVDF membrane. After the blocking procedure, the cell membrane was incubated overnight with primary antibody and secondary antibodies. Then, visualized in Imager (Bio‐Rad) using ECL system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, 34095). The following antibodies were used: ANGPTL4 (1:5000, abcam, MA, USA), GLS (1:1000, abcam, MA, USA), CPT1 (1:1000, abcam, MA, USA) and GAPDH (1:5000, abcam, MA, USA).

Slides were placed in a six-well plate following disinfection with 75% ethanol to culture NP cells at a density of 3.5×105 per well. The NP cells were then treated with TNF-α (10ng/mL) or HGHF for 24 h after attachment and proliferation. After fixation with paraformaldehyde (4%) for 30 min, cell membranes were permeabilized with 0.25% Triton X-100 (Beyotime Biotechnology, China) for 10 min, blocked with 5% BSA for 2 h at room temperature, NP cells then incubated with the primary antibody ANGPTL4 (1:250, Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Cells were washed three times with PBS and then incubated with an Alexa Fluor 594 conjugate secondary antibody (anti-rabbit, 1:500; Cell Signaling Technology) for 1 h. Then, the cells were incubated with DAPI for 20 min. Eventually, fluorescence images were determined with a fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Inc., Tokyo, Japan). Semi-quantitative analysis of integrated optical density (IOD) was performed using Image-Pro Plus (version 6.0; Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD, USA).

Cultured mouse podocytes and isolated renal glomerulus were lysed with RIPA buffer to gain total proteins. For cell culture supernatants, 10 ml of culture medium was concentrated with 50 ml Amicon® Ultra Centrifugal Filters (Millipore, MA, USA) to about 200 μl for further analysis. The protein samples were separated on SDS-PAGE gels and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Temecula, CA). PVDF membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk for 2 h and incubated with different primary antibodies. The primary antibodies were used as follows: Angptl4(1:1000, Abcam); synaptopodin (1:1000, Santa Cruz); CaN (1:500, Santa Cruz); GAPDH(1:5000, Bioke); β-actin (1:5000, Bioke); TLR4 (1:500, Santa Cruz); CD14 (1:1000, Cell Signaling); MyD88(1:1000, Cell Signaling); p-p65 (1:1000, Cell Signaling); p65 (1:1000, Cell Signaling); NFATc1 (1:500, Santa Cruz); HIF-1a (1:1000, Cell Signaling). After incubation with HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies for 2 h, membranes were visualized with an enhanced chemiluminescence detection system ChemiDoc MP (Bio-RAD, California, USA).

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.
