Liver tissues were lysed using RIPA lysis buffer (150 mM NaCl, 1% triton-X 100, 0.5% sodium deoxycholate, 0.1% SDS, 50 mM Tris–HCl) supplemented with protease and phosphatase inhibitors (Sigma-Aldrich). Protein samples were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred to a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane (GVS, Bologna, Italy). After blocking with 5% BSA or skim milk for 30 min, PVDF membranes were incubated overnight with primary antibodies against B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2, 1:2000, Cell Signaling Technology Danvers, MA), cleaved caspase-3 (1:2000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), Ly6G (1:2000, eBioscience, San Diego, CA ), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE, 1:2000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK), NFκB p65 (1:2000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA), IκBa (1:2000, Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA) and GAPDH (1:10,000, Bioworld Technology, St. Louis Park, MN).

After harvesting, kidneys were immediately fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then embedded in paraffin. The tissues were sectioned and stained with hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) stain, periodic acid Schiff (PAS) stain, and Masson’s trichrome stain. Images were captured using a confocal microscope (Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Tubular injury in PAS-stained sections was assessed and scored at a ×200 magnification using 10 randomly selected fields for each kidney as follows: 0, 0%; 1, ≤10%; 2, 11–25%; 3, 26–45%; 4, 46–75%; and 5, 76–100% [18 (link)]. For IHC staining, the sections were incubated with primary antibodies against kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE; Abcam), galectin-3 (Abcam), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA; Sigma-Aldrich), or collagen I (Abcam) overnight at 4 °C and then probed with a secondary antibody for 30 min at room temperature. All the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. The percentage of positive staining was assessed in 5 randomly selected fields (×400 magnification) per each kidney using i-Solution Lite V.9.1 image analysis software (IMTechnology, Vancouver, BC, Canada). Galectin 3 positive cells or CD4 positive cells were counted in 5 randomly selected fields (×400 magnification) per each kidney.

After behavioral tests, 5 out of 10 animals were intracardially perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde in PBS under the deep anesthesia (Na pentobarbital, 100 mg/kg). After perfusion, the brains were removed from the skull and post-fixed for 24 hr in the same fixative at 4°C, and were then cryoprotected in 30% sucrose prepared in phosphate buffer. Serial coronal sections of brain (30 μm) were cut with a freezing slide microtome (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The sections were incubated overnight at 4°C with antibody to Aβ1–42 (1:2000, Covance, Berkeley, CA, USA) or 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE) (1:2000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). After multiple washings in PBS, the sections were incubated in biotinylated IgG (1:1000, Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, California, USA) for 1 hr at room temperature. The sections were subsequently washed and incubated with avidin-conjugated peroxidase complex (ABC kit, Vector Laboratories Inc.) for 60 min. The immunocomplex was visualized by using 3,3’-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (Sigma-Aldrich Korea, Seoul, Korea) as the chromogen. Finally, the brain sections were rinsed and mounted on poly-glycine-coated slides and analyzed under the light microscopy.

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.
