Cleaned thoracic aortae were fixed in neutral-buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin and 4-µm sections were cut on a rotary microtome. IP3R (IP3R1) was detected in sections using a rabbit polyclonal IP3R (type 1) antibody (1:1,000 dilution, Ab5804; Abcam) and visualized using biotin-labelled secondary antibody-streptavidin-HRP complexes and a DAB (3,3′ diaminobenzidine) chromogenic substrate (Vector Laboratories). Images were analysed blindly by 2 independent observers and the degree of staining was quantified using ImageJ software.

Visualizing ER-Mitochondrial Interactions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ER-mitochondrial interactions were assessed using in situ PLA which targeted the complex between the ER inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor (IP3 R)-1 (ab5804, Abcam, Paris, France) and the mitochondrial voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC)-1 (ab14734, Abcam, UK) as previously described [13 (link)]. In vitro, the assays were conducted on 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed and 0.1% triton-permeabilized primary rat hepatocytes using a green, fluorescent in situ PLA DUOLINK kit (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany). In situ, the assays were carried on in 4 µm paraffin sections of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded mouse liver samples using a bright-field in situ PLA DUOLINK kit (Merck, USA). Images were analyzed using a custom written Fiji macro on 10 images/sample in 3 to 5 independent series, and the number of VDAC1-IP3 R1 dots was expressed per nucleus.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For Western-blotting, cell lysates were obtained by treating the cell monolayer with RIPA buffer complemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors. Protein lysates were then cleared by centrifugation (17’000g for 20min). Total protein concentration was determined using bicinchoninic acid protein assay (Interchim, UP40840) and 25μg of denatured and reduced proteins of each sample was loaded on a 6% SDS-PAGE. For the IP3R1 immunoblotting (1/500, Abcam, ab5804) (S1B Fig), a 10% SDS-PAGE gel was used and the protein transfer was performed at low intensity overnight in a cold room. For the IP3R3 immunoblotting (1/1000, BD Biosciences, 610312) (S1C Fig), a 10% SDS-PAGE gel was used and the protein transfer was performed at low intensity overnight in a cold room.
After SDS-PAGE migration and electroblotting on polyvinylidene fluoride, the membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk and then incubated with the specific primary antibodies [rabbit anti-IP3R1 (Santa-Cruz, sc-28614; 1/500) and rabbit anti-TUBULIN (Santa-Cruz, sc-5286; 1/500)] (S1A Fig).
Blots were incubated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-coupled sheep anti-mouse IgG (GE Healthcare, NA931VS; 1/10000) and (HRP)-coupled goat anti-rabbit IgG (GE Healthcare, NA934VS; 1/10000), and developed with Clarity Western ECL Substrate (BioRad, 1705060). The band intensity was determined using Image Lab software (Bio-Rad).

Rats were perfused with PBS followed by 4% paraformaldehyde. The whole brain was removed, immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 24 hours, and transferred to a 30% sucrose solution for dehydration. Subsequently, the brain samples were frozen and cut into coronal frozen slices (slice thickness: 8 μm) with a cryostat microtome (Leica CM3050S-3-1-1, Bannockburn, IL). The sections were incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies, including those against MST1 (BioLegend, 611052), NeuN (Abcam, ab177487), GFAP (Millipore, ab5804), and IBA-1 (Abcam, ab5076), followed by the appropriate fluorescence-conjugated secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA). TUNEL staining was performed according to the protocol from the manufacturer (Roche Inc, Basel, Switzerland) as described in previous studies [36 (link)]. The sections were visualized with a fluorescence microscope (LSM-710; Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany). The percent of TUNEL-positive neurons was calculated in a blinded manner.

Western blotting analysis was performed as described previously[17 (link)] with minor modifications. SM samples were homogenized in RIPA buffer (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Danvers, MA, USA) to extract protein. Samples were heated at 90°C for 5 min and centrifuged at 5000 ×g for 5 min. The supernatants were resolved on 10% (for large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channel [BKCa], SERCA2a and nuclear factor-kappa B [NF-κB]) or 8% (for IP3R1) SDS-polyacrylamide gels and 4–12% Bis-Tris Gels (Invitrogen, NY, CA, USA) (for phospholamban [PLB]). The resolved protein bands were transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA) at 300 mA for 1 h (BKCa, NF-κB), 300 mA for 1.5 h (SERCA2a), 400 mA for 1.5 h (IP3R1), or 400 mA for 1 h (PLB). The membranes were blocked with Tris-buffered saline-Tween 20 containing 5% nonfat dry milk (Sigma-Aldrich) at room temperature for 1 h and then incubated at 4°C overnight with anti-SERCA IgG (1:1000, ab2801, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-BKCa IgG (1:1000, ab3587, Abcam), anti-NF-κB IgG (1:2000, 8242, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc.), anti-IP3R1 IgG (1:1000, ab5804, Abcam) or anti-PLB IgG (1:1000, ab2865, Abcam). The membranes were washed and then incubated with the appropriate secondary antibodies at room temperature. After washing, labeled bands were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence solutions 1 and 2 (1:1) (Millipore).

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.
