Brain hippocampal and cortical tissues were homogenized and Western blotting performed as previously described (5 (link)) using rabbit polyclonal antibodies Synapsin-1 (SYN-1, 1:200; Millipore), BDNF (Abcam, 1:200), pCREB and CREB (Chemicon, 1000), and mouse monoclonal antibodies PSD95 (1:200; Millipore) and GAPDH (1:200; Millipore). Blots were scanned using a LiCor Odyssey Infrared Imaging System. Intensity of bands was measured by LiCor Odyssey software.

Immunofluorescent staining of pre- and post-synaptic markers and
analyses were performed as previous described [44 (link), 48 ].
Fixed, frozen brain sections were dried, washed in Tris-buffered saline
(TBS), and blocked with 20% goat serum + 0.3% Triton X-100 in TBS for 2 h.
Primary antibodies were diluted in antibody buffer with 0.03% Triton X-100
and 10% goat serum as follows: Vglut2 (Millipore goat anti-guinea pig,
1:1000), Homer1 (R&D Systems goat anti-mouse, 1:200), GluR1 (Abcam goat
anti-rabbit, 1:200), and SYN-1 (Millipore goat anti-rabbit, 1:200) and
incubated overnight at 4°C. Secondary Alexa Fluor-conjugated
antibodies (Life Technologies) were added at 1:200 in 0.03% Triton X-100
with 10% goat serum for 2 h at room temperature (RT). Confocal imaging was
performed using a ZEISS LSM710 confocal microscope and a 63x oil objective.
Images were acquired using a 1 Airy Unit (AU) pinhole, while holding the
gain and offset parameters constant for all sections and mice for each
experiment.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunostaining was performed as previously described (Gao et al., 2017 (link)). Briefly, cells for immunostaining were seeded onto Matrigel pretreated coverslips. After aspiration of medium, cells were fixed with 4% PFA for 15 min at room temperature. Then cells were treated with permeabilization and blocking buffer (1% BSA and 0.5% Triton-X 100 in PBS) for 1 h at room temperature. Primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, fluorescent-dye conjugated secondary antibodies were incubated for 1 h at room temperature. Slides were mounted and images were captured with Leica SP8 microscope. The following antibodies were used in this study: TOM20 (Santa Cruz, #sc-17764), ATP5A1 (Abclonal, #5884), LAMP1 (Abcam, #24170), OCT4 (Santa Cruz, #sc-9081), NANOG (Santa Cruz, #sc-33760), SOX2 (Santa Cruz, #sc-17320), S100B (Sigma, #S2532), GFAP (Dako, #Z033401; Thermo Fisher, #13-0300), CRYAB (Santa Cruz, #sc-137143), TUJ1 (Biolegend, #801202), DCX (Santa Cruz, #sc-8066), MAP2 (Millipore, #AB5622), NEUN (Millipore, #ABN78), and SYN1 (Millipore, #Ab1543).

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.
