Immunohistochemical staining was performed on paraffin embedded lung sections. The sections were deparaffinized with xylene and prepared for staining as described previously. Sections were blocked with 10% goat serum in PBS for 1 h, followed by incubation with the following primary antibodies at 4 °C for 12 h: rabbit anti-mouse α-SMA (Abcam, ab124964, dilution 1:500) and rabbit anti-mouse COL1A (Abcam, ab260043, dilution 1:500).

Western blot was performed as described in our previous studies [2 (link)]. In brief, total protein was extracted using pre-cooled RIPA lysis buffer (Beyotime, Shanghai, China) containing PMSF and phosphatase inhibitor, and then total protein concentration was measured by a BCA protein quantification kit (Beyotime, Shanghai, China). After denaturation, equal amounts of total protein were separated on sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) gels and then transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes (Millipore, USA).

A549 cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected and ~1×105 cells/per well were placed in immunofluorescence dishes until they had adhered to the plate. The old culture medium was discarded. Following TGF-β1 stimulation and/or cell transfection for 48 h, the A549 cells were washed with pre-cooled PBS and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 min at room temperature. After washing with PBS, the A549 cells were permeated for 10 min with 0.5% Triton X-100 at room temperature. Normal goat serum was added into the dish and incubated at room temperature for 30 min. After the blocking reagent was discarded, the appropriate primary antibodies collagen I (ab260043; 1:250; Abcam), α-SMA (ab124964; 1:250; Abcam) and E-cadherin (ab40772; 1:500; Abcam) were added to each dish and placed in a wet box for incubation at 4°C overnight. The cells were then incubated at room temperature for 1 h in a wet box with a fluorescent secondary antibody (goat anti-rabbit IgG H&L; Alexa Fluor® 488; dilution, 1:500; ab150077; Abcam). DAPI was added to the A549 cells and incubated for 5 min in the dark to stain the cell nuclei.

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.
