The authors investigated the challenges of working with plant tissues by collecting various flora to represent the four main plant organs: leaf, stem, root, and flower/fruit. Triplicate samples for each specimen were placed into formalin for paraffin embedding, placed into formalin for later frozen sections, and used fresh to undergo immediate frozen sectioning. Frozen sections of plant tissues were more difficult to obtain than formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections, exhibited tissue loss during staining, and were inferior morphologically to FFPE sections. Although, historically, plant tissue fixation and processing has employed several different reagents compared with those used in animal tissue processing and took significantly longer times, the current investigation determined reagents and protocols from a modern histology laboratory which processes mammalian tissues can be applied to plant tissue processing with only slight modifications in respect to reagent timing. Additionally, staining techniques were compared and while it is well known that plant cell walls stain well with safranin O, the current investigation determined the uptake of safranin O can be accelerated by incubating at 60°C.","PeriodicalId":15966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histotechnology","volume":" ","pages":"58-67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142120024","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}

We investigated the kidney expression of C5aR and a second C5a receptor C5L2 by using immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and spatial gene expression on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human and mouse kidney. C5aR was detected on interstitial macrophages and in multiple tubular regions, including distal and proximal; C5L2 had a similar expression pattern. The 5/6 nephrectomy model of chronic kidney injury exhibited increased C5aR expression by infiltrating cells within the fibrotic regions. C5aR expression was confirmed on human leukocytes and in vitro differentiated macrophages by flow cytometry, and treatment with C5a induced the expression of chemokines and remodeling factors by macrophages, including CCL-3/-4/-7, -20, MMP-1/-3/-8/-12, and F3, and promoted leukocyte survival. C5a activity was C5aR dependent, as demonstrated by reversal with the C5aR inhibitor avacopan. Collectively, these results suggest that myeloid C5aR may induce excessive inflammation in the kidney via immune cell recruitment, extracellular matrix destruction, and remodeling, resulting in fibrotic tissue deposition.","PeriodicalId":15966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histotechnology","volume":" ","pages":"27-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142739616","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}

Standard 'omics platforms can consume significant amounts of tissue, forcing scientist to trade off spatial context for high-plex assays, such as genome-wide assays. While bulk gene expression approaches and standard single-cell transcriptomics have been valuable in defining various molecular and cellular mechanisms, they do not retain spatial context. As such, they have limited power in resolving tissue heterogeneity and cell-cell interactions. Current spatial transcriptomics platforms offer limited transcriptome coverage and have low throughput, restricting the number of samples that can be analyzed daily or even weekly. While the Digital Spatial Profiling (DSP) method does not provide single-cell resolution, it presents a significant advancement by enabling scalable whole transcriptome and ultrahigh-plex protein analysis from distinct tissue compartments and structures using a single tissue slide. These capabilities overcome significant constraints in biomarker analysis in solid tissue specimens. These advancements in tissue profiling play a crucial role in deepening our understanding of disease biology and in identifying potential therapeutic targets and biomarkers. To enhance the use of spatial biology tools in drug discovery and development, the DSP Scientific Consortium has created best practices guidelines. These guidelines, built on digital spatial profiling data and expertise, offer a practical framework for designing spatial studies and using current and future spatial biology platforms. The aim is to improve tissue analysis in all research areas supporting drug discovery and development.","PeriodicalId":15966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histotechnology","volume":" ","pages":"7-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142120015","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}

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.","PeriodicalId":15966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histotechnology","volume":" ","pages":"173-179"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","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}

There are many methods of aging bottlenose dolphins including analysis of teeth, pectoral flipper radiographs, and epigenetics. The most common and oldest method for aging toothed cetaceans is the counting of growth layer groups (GLGs) in the teeth. Current techniques have technical and repeatability challenges. Therefore, a processing technique that results in better resolution of GLGs is needed. This study compares different decalcifications and different histochemical staining techniques. Decalcification was done using 10% EDTA, Kristensen's decalcification, and Rapid Decalcification Solution (RDO). Following decalcification and routine processing, GLGs were assessed using Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E), hematoxylin, Giemsa, Wright-Giemsa, Toluidine Blue (T-Blue), Masson's Trichrome, and Congo Red staining techniques. Decalcification with Kristensen's and staining with Masson's Trichrome and Congo Red were determined to best highlight GLGs. This processing and staining was then applied to a sample population of 102 bottlenose dolphins that were evaluated independently and blindly by two observers. Of the 102 dolphin samples, 13 (12.7%) were unable to age due to no clear distinction or distortion between GLGs.","PeriodicalId":15966,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Histotechnology","volume":" ","pages":"146-153"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140094189","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}
