The placenta tissues were embedded in paraffin and sectioned into 4‐μm slides. Then, slides were deparaffinized and hydrated. After inactivating endogenous peroxidase in 3% hydrogen peroxide, slides were retrieved in citric acid buffer (pH 6.0) by microwaving for 15 minutes. Slides were blocked in normal goat serum (Invitrogen) for 30 minutes at room temperature and incubated with an anti‐Ki67 antibody (Abcam) overnight at 4°C. Samples were then washed with TBST (Invitrogen) and incubated with the appropriate secondary antibody (Abcam) for 2 hours at 37°C. Sections were then washed with TBST and stained using a DAB Detection Kit (Solarbio, Beijing, China). Finally, sections were counterstained with hematoxylin. Section images were captured and analysed using Motic Images Advanced 3.2 software (Motic, XiaMen, China).

RIPA (Radio-Immunoprecipitation Assay) lysis buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used to extract proteins from cells, and protein concentration was established by Bradford method (Sigma–Aldrich, Madrid, Spain). Separation of proteins was carried out in 8% SDS-PAGE gels in which 40 µg of proteins of each sample were loaded previously heated at 65 °C for 20 minutes. Then, proteins were electrotransferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (45 µm pore size) (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) and blocked for 1 hour in 5% milk in TBS with 0.1% Tween-20 (TBS-T) (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA). After several washes in TBS-T, the incubation of the anti-LGR5 primary antibody (1:750) (Anti-LGR5 (OTI2A2): MA5-25,644; Invitrogen, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) was performed overnight at 4 °C. Then, a secondary antibody (m-IgGκBP-HRP: sc-516,102; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, Texas, EEUU) was added (1:2000) for 1 hour at room temperature. Chemiluminescent reagents (Amersham Biosciences, Saint Louis, MO, USA) were used for the detection of membrane-bound antibodies. Besides, anti-β-actin IgG (A3854, Sigma Aldrich, Madrid, Spain) (1:25,000 dilution) was used as an endogenous control. The open-source Fiji image analysis software was used to quantify the bands obtained to calculate relative protein expression.28 (link)

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
