Brain sections (50 μm) were cut and co-incubated with primary Iba1 antibody (Fujifilm Wako, 019-19741) overnight at 4 °C. Secondary Alexa Fluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG was added for 2 h followed by mounting of sections with DAPI (Invitrogen, 36935). Fluorescent images were acquired on a Zeiss Observer and images were processed using AxioVs 40 4.8.0.0 software (Carl Zeiss). Photographs were acquired using an AxioCam MRm digital camera. The analysis of the microglial cells was performed utilizing AxioVision, imageJ and Fiji software. For the calculation of the Iba1 intensity the images were processed using several imageJ functions and the resulting image was saved and re-opened in AxioVision software, where AxioVision Wizard macros was applied to calculate the area and the intensity of the Iba1 staining. For the evaluation of the Iba1 expression, the area of the staining was multiplied by the staining intensity resulting in the total staining parameter (Area X Intensity = Total staining) expressed in artificial units (AU).

Human APOE3-KI and APOE4-KI mice were cross-bred with mice overexpressing mutant human APP (J20 line) to generate J20/APOE4-KI and J20/APOE3-KI mice, as we reported previously13 . All mouse lines were maintained on a C57Bl/6J background. Sex- and age-matched wildtype mice were used as controls. Brains were collected from female J20/APOE4-KI and J20/APOE3-KI mice (n=3 for each group) at 13 months of age. Brain sections were collected (30μm) from paraformaldehyde-fixed right hemibrains on a sliding microtome fitted with a freezing stage as described previously. Free-floating 30 μm sections were washed three times in PBS followed by blocking with 10% donkey serum in PBS for 1 h. Sections were incubated in PBS with 5% donkey serum and Iba1 primary antibody (1:500; Wako 019–19741) for 72 h at 4 °C. After primary antibody incubation, sections were washed once in PBS and incubated in the following secondary antibody and lipid droplet dye for 2 hr at RT: donkey anti-rabbit 555 (1:500; Invitrogen) and LipidSpot 488 (1:1000; Biotium). Sections were incubated in DAPI (1:2000; Thermo Fisher) for 10 min, then washed three times with PBS. Sections were mounted on microscope slides with ProLong Glass mounting media.

After rinsing with PBST, sections were mounted onto 2% gelatin-coated slides. The brain sections were observed using a Leica SP5 confocal microscope (Leica, Germany), using a ×40 magnification. For each brain, three to four sections were used to capture six to eight images from the hippocampus (CA3 and dentate gyrus) and cortex. Images were taken from both sides of the brain, and subsequently, were quantitively analyzed using the Imaris software (Bitplane AG, Zurich, Switzerland) to provide a mean value for each brain region.

All procedures were performed as previously described [43 (link), 44 ]. Briefly, mice were anesthetized by pentobarbital sodium and perfused with saline. Brains were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (w/v) for 7 days. Fixed brains were transferred to 30% sucrose solution for 3 days. Coronal sections were cut throughout the whole brain. In immunohistochemistry (IHC), brain slices were blocked with 10% goat serum (Abcom, ab7481) in PBS containing 0.2% Triton X-100 (Sigma, V900502), and incubated with Iba1 primary antibody (WAKO, 019-19741, 1:400), biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG, and streptavidin-conjugated horseradish peroxidase using VECTASTAIN® ABC-HRP kit (Vector Laboratories, PK-4000). Iba1 stains were visualized with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine (Sigma-Aldrich), scanned and analyzed by stereo investigator (MicroBrightfield). In immunofluorescence, brain slices were blocked, and incubated with primary and secondary antibodies as follow: Iba1 (Novus Biologicals, NB100-1028, 1:400), ASC (Cell Signaling Technology, D2W8U, 1:500), Alexa Fluor 546-conjugated (Invitrogen, A-11056, 1:400), and FITC-conjugated (Abcam, ab6798, 1:400).

Liver sections were de‐paraffinized with xylene and rehydrated by successive incubations in ethanol 100, 95, and 70% and water. Thereafter, slides were incubated in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6) at sub‐boiling temperature for 10 min and cooled at room temperature for 30 min. Before staining, slides were washed three times with water and incubated in 3% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min to quench endogenous peroxidase activity and washed twice in water. Thereafter, slides were blocked in 5% goat serum in TBST. Iba1 primary antibody (Wako) was used to detect Iba1 expression. Later, we used the VectaStain ABC HRP Kit (Vector Labs) and diaminobenzidine to detect immunoreactivity. Finally, slides were counter‐stained with hematoxylin, dehydrated, and mounted for bright‐field microscopy.

Coronal sections were cut on a freezing, sliding microtome at 35 μm through the hypothalamus (−1.56 to −3.96 from bregma) and hindbrain (−13.44 to −15.00 from bregma) and then processed for the expression of ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule (Iba1), a cytoplasmic protein that is specific to microglia (Ito et al., 1998 (link)). Free-floating sections were washed with 0.1M PB followed by incubation in 0.5% sodium borohydride (20 min) and 0.3% triton (30 min; all in 0.1M PB). Tissue sections were incubated in Iba1 primary antibody (019–19741, Wako Chemicals), at a dilution of 1:40,000 in 1% goat serum + 0.3% triton in 0.1M PB overnight (20 h) at room temperature. On the following day, the tissue was washed in 0.1M PB and then incubated for 1 h in biotinylated goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (BA-1000, Jackson Immuno-Research) at a dilution of 1:500 in 0.3% triton followed by incubation in an avidin-biotin mixture (PK-6100, Vector Labs) for 90 min. To visualize Iba1 immunoreactivity, tissue sections were stained with nickel-intensified DAB (SK-4100, Vector Labs) for 11 min. Stained tissue sections were mounted on microscope slides and dipped in xylene before being coverslipped.

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.
