Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7. Immunohistochemistry staining (brown) of MUC2 and MUC5AC; A: monolayer and IgG as a negative control. HT29-MTX cells layered on or suspended within B: alginate, C: L-pNIPAM, and D: L-pNIPAM-co-DMAc hydrogels under static or dynamic culture conditions at a cell density of 2 106 cells/ml following 21 days. Cell nuclei were stained with haematoxylin (blue). Yellow arrows indicate positively stained cells. Scale bar = 100 mm.

Article Snippet: Immunohistochemistrywas performed to investigate: brush border differentiation using CD10 antibody (1:100 rabbit polyclonal, enzyme antigen retrieval) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK); Zonulin 1 (ZO-1) protein expression which is a tight junction protein expressed by enterocytes using ZO-1 antibody (1:50, enzyme antigen retrieval) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK); enterocyte differentiation markers: alkaline phosphatase (ALP) antibody (1:200 rabbit polyclonal, heat antigen retrieval) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK), dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) antibody (1:50mousemonoclonal, enzyme antigen retrieval) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK); and sucraseisomaltase antibody (SI) (1:50, mouse monoclonal antibody, heat antigen retrieval) (Santa Cruz, Heidelberg, Germany); HT29-MTX differentiation was assessed using MUC2 antibody (1:100 rabbit polyclonal, heat antigen retrieval) (Santa Cruz, Heidelberg, Germany) and MUC5AC antibody (1:200, mouse monoclonal antibody, heat antigen retrieval) (Abcam, Cambridge, UK).

Article Title: Dietary polyamines promote intestinal adaptation in an experimental model of short bowel syndrome

doi: 10.1038/s41598-024-55258-4

Figure Lengend Snippet: Polyamines enhance mucosal defense factors in rats with massive intestinal resection. (A-B) Fecal and serum secretory IgA was measured using ELISA. n = 5–7/group. (C) IgA in ileum tissue was assessed using western blotting. n = 4–6/group. (D) Fecal mucin was measured using a fluorometric assay. n = 4–6/group. (E) Representative images of ileal villus showing immunostaining by Muc2 (original magnification, ×400; scale bars = 200 μm). Left graphs show the number of goblet cells per unit villous area and the size of goblet cell secretion granule. (F) The expression of Claudin-3 in the ileum tissue was measured by western blot analysis. Representative images of ileal villus showing immunostaining by Claudin-3 (original magnification, ×200; scale bars = 100 μm). (G) Serum DAO was measured by ELISA. n = 5–7/group. (H) Serum GLP-2 was measured by ELISA. n = 5–7/group. (I) Fecal short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) content was measured using high-performance liquid chromatography. n = 3–6/group. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Results of one-way ANOVA are represented as follows: * P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001; **** P < 0.0001.

Article Snippet: Nonspecific antibody binding was blocked using 15% goat serum for 30 min. For staining of Ki-67, Muc2, and Claudin-3, the slides were then incubated with anti-Ki67 antibody (ab16667; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-Muc2 rabbit monoclonal antibody (M01212-1; Boster Biological Technology, Pleasanton, CA, USA), and Claudin-3 polyclonal antibody (#PA5-32353; Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) at 4°C overnight, respectively.
