H vessels are critically deficient in the setting of radiation-induced fractures, which have been reported to occur in up to 25% of patients undergoing radiotherapy. By increasing H-vessel proliferation, Deferoxamine (DFO) revitalizes the physiologic response to skeletal injury and accelerates irradiated fracture repair. H-vessel quantification is therefore an important outcome measure in histologic analysis of bone healing. However, an optimized protocol for staining H vessels in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections has not been reported. With this protocol, we describe a method of staining FFPE bone samples with minimal background fluorescence and high signal-to-noise ratio. We examined mandibular specimens in a rat model of bone healing from a range of fracture conditions, including healthy bone (Fx), irradiated bone (XFx), and irradiated bone with DFO treatment (XFx-DFO). Quantitative analysis revealed a significant increase of H vessels in the XFxDFO group compared to both the Fx and XFx groups. By optimizing immunofluorescent staining of H vessels in FFPE samples across a range of fracture conditions, we offer investigators an efficacious means of producing reliable imaging for quantitative analysis of H vessels in an irradiated fracture callus.</p>","PeriodicalId":15966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141492250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The discomfort and reduced motion associated with osteoarthritis have a significant impact on quality of life, and there is no known solution. Runt-related transcription factor 1(Runx1) has been shown to play a protective role in the development of osteoarthritis by promoting chondrogenesis. We had created models of ageing mice with osteoarthritis by anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) and analyzed the effects of intra-articular injection of adeno-associated virus/Runx1 (AAV/Runx1) on the models. The results showed that the AAV/Runx1-group maintained better articular cartilage integrity and retained more proteoglycan than the OA group after injection of AAV-Runx1. The markers related to pathological changes in cartilage were downregulated, while the markers related to physiological changes in cartilage were upregulated. This suggests that Runx1 may impede OA progression on the knee joint of ageing mice, potentially playing a protective role in OA and becoming a probable treatment target for osteoarthritis among ageing patients in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":15966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histotechnology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"107591455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current investigation focused on the renal protective effect of GW1929, an agonist for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors gamma (PPARγ), on cisplatin-induced kidney injury. HK2 cells treated with 20 μM cisplatin and C57BL/6 mice injected with 20 mg/kg cisplatin were used as the cell model and animal model for acute kidney injury. HK2 cell viability after cisplatin or GW1929 (0-80 μM) treatment was tested using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assays. Flow cytometry analysis and TUNEL assays were used to measure cell apoptosis. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) level was measured through fluorescence intensities. Levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) were measured to evaluate the renal function of mice. For renal morphology observation and cell apoptosis assessment <i>in vivo</i>, hematoxylin-eosin staining and TUNEL assays were conducted. The concentrations of oxidative stress markers in renal samples were measured using colorimetric tests. It was found that GW1929 dose-dependently enhanced protein levels of PPARγ, PGC-1α and TFEB in HK2 cells. Meanwhile, intracellular ROS overproduction, the decrease in cell viability and excessive cell apoptosis mediated by cisplatin were reversed by GW1929. For <i>in vivo</i> experiments, GW1929 notably attenuated cisplatin-stimulated nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress while reducing BUN and Scr levels in cisplatin-challenged model mice.
