Decellularization and antibody staining of mouse tissues to map native extracellular matrix structures in 3D
(2019) In Nature Protocols 14. p.3395-3425- Abstract
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a major regulator of homeostasis and disease, yet the 3D structure of the ECM remains poorly understood because of limitations in ECM visualization. We recently developed an ECM-specialized method termed in situ decellularization of tissues (ISDoT) to isolate native 3D ECM scaffolds from whole organs in which ECM structure and composition are preserved. Here, we present detailed surgical instructions to facilitate decellularization of 33 different mouse tissues and details of validated antibodies that enable the visualization of 35 mouse ECM proteins. Through mapping of these ECM proteins, the structure of the ECM can be determined and tissue structures visualized in detail. In this study, perfusion... (More)

Through mapping of these ECM proteins, the structure of the ECM can be determined and tissue structures visualized in detail. In this study, perfusion decellularization is presented for bones, skeletal muscle, tongue, salivary glands, stomach, duodenum, jejunum/ileum, large intestines, mesentery, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, trachea, bronchi, lungs, kidneys, urinary bladder, ovaries, uterine horn, cervix, adrenal gland, heart, arteries, veins, capillaries, lymph nodes, spleen, peripheral nerves, eye, outer ear, mammary glands, skin, and subcutaneous tissue. Decellularization, immunostaining, and imaging take 4-5 d.
