Immunohistochemical Analysis of Albumin Expression After SAH

Immunohistochemistry was performed as described in a previous study37 (link). Rats were euthanized 72 h after SAH induction and transcardially perfused with 0.1
mol/l PBS (pH 7.4) followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (pH 7.4) as described above. Then, the
brains were removed, fixed, dehydrated, and cut into coronal frozen sections (7 μm). The
sections were incubated with a goat anti-mouse albumin antibody (1:500, Bethyl
Laboratories, Cat# A90-134A) at 25°C for 2 h and washed with PBS (pH 7.4). After the
sections were further incubated with secondary antibody for an additional 1 h at 25°C, the
reaction product was visualized using a DAB peroxidase substrate kit SK-4100 (Vector
Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). An Olympus BX41 microscope was used to capture the
images.

Assessing Blood-Retinal Barrier Integrity

Assessment of the BRB was conducted in cryosections, by assessing albumin leakage from the retinal vasculature. The vasculature was visualised using biotinylated isolectin GS-IB4 (Sigma) followed by binding to streptavidin–Alexa Fluor 488 (Life Technologies, Paisley, UK). Albumin was localised using a goat anti-mouse albumin antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA) followed with anti-goat Alexa Fluor 568 (1:500; Life Technologies). Vessel or neuropile-localised fluorescence was visualised by using a Nikon TE EZ-C1 confocal system (Nikon, Kingston Upon Thames, UK). Using NIS Elements software (Nikon) a threshold value of 12,000 was set for measuring image intensity/brightness. The area (μm2) of the albumin staining was measured with the 12,000 brightness intensity threshold in the retinal sections. Images were taken at three separate points on the central retina at magnification ×40 and n = 5 per group of mice.

Quantifying Urinary Albumin Levels

Albumin concentration in the urine was determined using the following ELISA procedure. 96-wells plates were coated overnight with a goat anti-mouse albumin antibody (BETHYL Laboratories, Inc. Montgomery, Texas, USA) diluted 1:100 in 0.05 M Carbonate–bicarbonate at pH 9.6. After blocking with 50 mM Tris, 0.14 M NaCl, 1% BSA, pH 8.0, urinary samples were incubated for 1 h in various dilutions. Bound albumin was detected using an HRP conjugated goat anti-mouse albumin antibody diluted 1:75,000 (BETHYL Laboratories, Inc. Montgomery, Texas, USA). Binding was visualized using 3,3′,5,5′- tetramethylbenzidine (Sigma-Aldrich, Zwijndrecht, The Netherlands) where after 1 M H2SO4 was added and absorbance was measured at 450 nm (Benchmark Plus microplate spectrophotometer, BIORAD). Urinary albumin concentration was determined using a standard curve with known albumin concentrations.
Urinary creatinine was measured using the creatinine colorimetric assay kit (Cayman Chemicals, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) according to manufacturer’s instructions. Albumin values were adjusted for creatinine values by dividing the urinary albumin concentration by the urinary creatinine concentration resulting in the albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR).

Immunocytochemistry of Liver Cells

The cultured cells were fixed and stained as previously described49 (link). Primary antibodies were as follows; mouse anti-human Hnf4a (PPMX), goat anti-human Foxa3 (Santa Cruz), goat anti-mouse albumin antibody (Bethyl Laboratories), mouse anti-mouse E-cadherin (Abcam), mouse anti-mouse cytchromeP450 1A2 (Abcam) at 1:200 respectively. The sections were incubated for two hours with secondary antibodies; Alexa 488-conjugated rabbit anti-goat IgG or goat anti-mouse IgG at 1:1000. After washing, the stained sections were covered with Vectashield mounting medium with DAPI (Vector Laboratories).
Spheroids were first embedded in iPGel (NIPPON Genetics) and fixed with 4% PFA overnight, then embedded in paraffin and cut in 5 μm thick. After deparaffinization and antigen retrieval using a Target Retrieval Solution (Dako), nonspecific binding was blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin (Sigma Aldrich) dissolved in 0.1% Polyoxyethylene Octylphenyl Ether (Wako) in PBS. The primary and secondary antibodies reactions were carried out in the same way for cultured cells.

Platelet Inhibition and Hemostasis

The effect of platelet inhibition by ticagrelor was assessed by bleeding volume and plasma concentrations of PF4 and serotonin. For the bleeding volume, 2 mm of the tail tip was amputated and blood was captured in a 15 mL tube with saline. The tube was centrifuged twice to pellet the erythrocytes (1550 g, 5 minutes), the erythrocytes were lysed with 5 mL of demineralized water and the optical density of the lysates was determined by spectrophotometer at 570 nm. Plasma PF4 and serotonin were measured by ELISA in citrated plasma at the end of the study, with mouse CXCL4/PF4 ELISA kit (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) and Serotonin ELISA kit (Enzo Life Sciences, New York, NY, USA), respectively.
Plasma concentrations of creatinine, urea, ALAT, and ASAT were determined using standardized clinical diagnostic protocols. Albumin levels in 24-hours urine were measured with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using the goat anti-mouse albumin antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA). TNF-α in plasma and kidney homogenates was measured with the mouse TNF-alpha DuoSet ELISA (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA).

H&E-stained sections were scored, using a range from 0 to 4, based on stromal expansion and cellular infiltration in the choroid plexus of the third ventricle, as described.26 (link)Coronal sections of the paraffin-embedded brain tissue were cut for immunofluorescent staining. All sections were blocked initially with 20% normal horse serum. Sections were incubated with a primary goat antimouse albumin antibody (1:300; Bethyl, Montgomery, TX), followed by a secondary Cy5-conjugated donkey antigoat antibody (1:500; Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA), for albumin staining. IgG deposition in the brain was assessed by staining with a directly Cy5-conjugated donkey antimouse IgG (1:100; Jackson ImmunoResearch). Leukocyte infiltration was also assessed by staining for CD3 and B220, using primary antibodies of rabbit antimouse (1:100; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and rat antimouse (1:100; BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA) and secondary antibodies of Cy5-conjugated donkey antirabbit and AF488-conjugated donkey antirat (1:100; Jackson ImmunoResearch), respectively. The secondary antibody applied alone served as a negative control.
Fluorescence-stained slides were imaged under an Invitrogen microscope (Invitrogen EVOS FL Auto 2 Cell Imaging System). Images were analyzed and processed using ImageJ (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Plasma creatinine and plasma urea were measured using standardized clinical diagnostic protocols. Albumin levels in 24-hour urine were measured by means of sandwich ELISA using the goat anti-mouse albumin antibody (Bethyl Laboratories, Montgomery, TX, USA). Urinary glucose concentrations were determined in deproteinized samples (PCA kit, Biovision, Milpitas, CA, USA) by a glucose assay kit (Abcam, Cambridge, UK) and fasting insulin levels were determined by ultrasensitive mouse insulin ELISA kit (CrystalChem, Downers Grove, USA). Insulin resistance was estimated with the homeostatic model assessment- insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) using the following formula: HOMA-IR = [fasting plasma insulin(µU/mL)*fasting blood glucose (mmol/L)/22.5]50 (link),51 (link). HOMA-beta was calculated as follows: HOMA-beta = (20*fasting plasma insulin)/(fasting blood glucose-3,5)51 (link).

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.
