Nerve Graft Evaluation via Immunofluorescence

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
At specified time points after nerve grafting, the artificial nerve bridging effects were evaluated by observing the graft appearance. Grafts were frozen (-80°C), sectioned (6 µm thickness) using a cryostat (CM1850, LEICA, Germany), stained using immunofluorescent markers or HE, and examined under a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSM200, Zeiss, Germany) to identify different cell types and fibroin fibers within the graft. Nuclei were stained blue using 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Biosynthesis Biotechnology, China). Primary antibody for low-affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) P75 (goat anti-rat; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) was used to identify Schwann cells. Primary antibodies against fibronectin (goat anti-rat; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and NF200 (rabbit anti-rat; Sigma, USA) were used to identify fibroblasts and axons, respectively. Schwann cells and fibroblasts were labelled green using donkey anti-goat secondary antibody and axons were marked red using donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Life Technologies, USA). Integrin-α(rabbit anti-rat; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA ) were used to identify inflammatory cells. Specific steps for immunofluorescence staining were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Some of the grafts were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (JSM-6510LV, Japan).

The kidney, liver, lung, and spleen were investigated to assess tissue microstructure, nanoparticle distribution, iron distribution, and oxidant injury after injection. Each organ was immersion fixed with 10% phosphate buffered formalin. Structure was assessed with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E). Iron was detected using Perls’ Prussian blue stain. Oxidative injury, macrophage infiltration, and ferritin distribution were assessed with immunohistochemistry (IHC). For IHC, tissue sections were submersed in H2O2 in methanol to quench endogenous peroxidase. Endogenous biotin was neutralized using an avidin-biotin (ABC) blocking kit (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Oxidative stress was localized with 4-hydroxynonenal (4HNE) antibody (ab485606, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) at 1:2,000 dilution. Macrophages were identified using F4/80 antibody (ab6640, Abcam, Cambridge, MA). Ferritin was detected using immunofluorescence with antigen retrieval using 10mM citrate buffer, serum-free protein block (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA), anti-horse spleen ferritin primary antibody at 1:100 (F6136, Sigma Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody at 1:500 (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Sections were counterstained with 4′,6- Diamidino-2-Phenylindole, Dilactate (DAPI).

At specified time points after nerve grafting, the artificial nerve bridging effects were evaluated by observing the graft appearance. Grafts were frozen (–80°C), sectioned (6 µm thickness) using a cryostat (CM1850, LEICA, Germany), stained using immunofluorescent markers, and examined under a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSM200, Zeiss, Germany) to identify different cell types within the graft. Nuclei were stained blue using 4′,6‐diamidino‐2‐phenylindole (Biosynthesis Biotechnology, China). Primary antibody for low‐affinity nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) P75 (goat anti‐rat; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) was used to identify Schwann cells. Primary antibodies against fibronectin (goat anti‐rat; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and NF200 (rabbit anti‐rat; Sigma, USA) were used to identify fibroblasts and axons, respectively. Schwann cells and fibroblasts were labeled green using donkey anti‐goat secondary antibody and axons were marked red using donkey anti‐rabbit secondary antibody (Life Technologies, USA).

The expression of nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in BEAS-2B cells was analysed using immunofluorescence staining. Complete BEBM was removed and the cells were washed using phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The cells were subsequently fixed using ice cold 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min at room temperature. The cells were washed 3 times in PBS for 5 min each. The cells were then blocked using Blocking Buffer (1x PBS/5% normal goat serum; cat. no. ab7481; Abcam)/0.3% Triton X-100 (cat. no. T8787; Sigma Aldrich, Merck KGaA;) for 60 min at room temperature. The cells were washed again and incubated with a primary antibody against Nrf2 (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck KGaA; cat. no. SAB4501984) overnight at 4˚C. The following day, the cells were washed 4 times, 10 min each time, with PBS and incubated with a donkey-anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.; cat. no. A-21207; 1:200) for 1.5 h at room temperature. The cells were subsequently counterstained with the nuclear stain DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich, Merck KGaA; 0.6 mM in PBS) for 4 min at room temperature. Stained cells were imaged using a Zeiss AxioVert A1 fluorescence microscope (Carl Zeiss AG; x40 magnification). A total of 6 fields were analysed.

When rats completed their 6th week ABR and BLI or met euthanasia endpoints, the rats were euthanized and temporal bones were harvested and fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Subsequently, the tumors or cochleovestibular nerves were harvested and embedded in paraffin. Five micrometer sections were obtained using a microtome and mounted on a slide. Antigen retrieval was performed with Tris-EDTA (pH 8.0). To confirm S100 expression, sections were permeabilized and blocked with 1% Triton X-100 and 5% donkey serum and then treated with 1:200 rabbit anti-S100 primary antibody (DAKO, A0311) overnight at 4 degrees Celsius, 1:200 donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody (conjugated with Alexa-488; ThermoFisher) for 2 hours at room temperature, and DAPI (nuclear stain) for 15 minutes. Antifade medium was applied, a coverslip was placed, and slides were examined with a confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss LSM 700 Laser Scanning Confocal Microscope, Germany).

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.
