In Vivo:
Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (5.47 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.

Fibrosis/Collagen Morphometry
Fibrosis and collagen morphometry is based on the quantitative visualization of fibrillar collagen deposition in tissue sections using histochemical stains such as Sirius Red (Picrosirius Red) or Masson's trichrome, followed by image-based or polarization-enhanced analysis to estimate collagen proportional area as a surrogate of extracellular matrix accumulation during fibrotic remodeling. Sirius Red combined with polarized light microscopy enhances detection of collagen fibers due to birefringence properties, enabling more specific visualization of collagen type I and III fibrils compared to conventional bright-field histology, while whole-section or region-restricted digital morphometry reduces field-selection bias in fibrosis assessment. Alternative quantitative approaches include second harmonic generation (SHG) and two-photon excited fluorescence microscopy, which enable label-free detection of fibrillar collagen and have been validated against histological staining and biochemica

Collagen: Sirius Red Staining
Sirius Red or picrosirius red staining is a histochemical method for visualizing collagen-rich extracellular matrix in tissue sections, and collagen fibers are detected as red-stained structures under bright-field microscopy with enhanced birefringence under polarized light. Picrosirius red is useful for assessing total collagen organization, distribution, and fibrosis burden, but polarized color should not be interpreted as a definitive collagen type I versus type III readout because color is affected by fiber orientation, thickness, and packing.

ECM-Embedded Organoid (Matrigel/Dome) Culture
ECM-embedded organoid dome culture embeds epithelial stem cells, crypts, organoid fragments, or tumor-derived epithelial cells in a basement-membrane-like hydrogel such as Matrigel, allowing 3D growth, self-organization, lumen formation, budding or cystic morphogenesis, and lineage maintenance under defined niche-factor-containing medium. The primary readouts are organoid establishment efficiency, growth, morphology, passaging capacity, lineage-marker expression, and, when fluorescently labeled lines are used, microscopy- or flow-cytometry-based quantification of population behavior in 3D culture.

Matrigel/ECM Transwell Invasion Assay
The Matrigel/ECM Transwell invasion assay measures the ability of cells to move toward a chemoattractant while crossing an extracellular-matrix barrier placed on a porous membrane; therefore, the readout reflects both chemotactic motility and matrix invasion rather than migration alone. Matrigel is a basement-membrane-rich matrix derived from Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm mouse sarcoma and has been used as a reconstituted basement membrane barrier in chemoinvasion assays. The assay readout is generated by quantifying cells that reach the underside of the insert membrane or lower compartment after incubation, commonly by staining and counting invaded cells or by fluorescence-based quantification.
-
Matrigel Transwell/Boyden Chamber Invasion Assay
Matrigel Transwell/Boyden chamber invasion assay measures the ability of cells to degrade or traverse an extracellular matrix-coated porous membrane and move from an upper chamber toward a chemoattractant in a lower chamber. Invasion is distinguished from migration by coating the membrane with Matrigel or basement membrane matrix; uncoated inserts measure migration, while coated inserts require cells to cross an ECM barrier before reaching the underside of the membrane.
