Abstract

Skeletal muscle spatial analyses have revealed unexpected regionalized gene expression patterns challenging the understanding of muscle as a homogeneous tissue. Here, we present a protocol for the spatial analysis of transcript and protein levels in murine skeletal muscle. We describe steps for tibialis anterior dissection, formaldehyde fixation, tissue chopper cutting, and hybridization chain reaction (HCR) detection and amplification. We then detail procedures for immunostaining, tissue clearing, and imaging. This protocol is easily adaptable to other tissues.
