LGACC cells were seeded in 8-well chamber slides and cultured until confluent. Cells were then washed with PBS, and fixed for 10 minutes at room temperature with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). Cells were permeabilized for 5 minutes with 0.2% Triton X-100, and blocked for 30 minutes with 5% BSA. Cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against E-cadherin (250μg/ml, BD Biosciences), PDGFR (dilution 1:200, GeneTex), cytokeratin-5 (dilution 1:200, Abcam), FGFR1 (dilution 10μg/ml, abcam), and the low affinity neurotrophin receptor (p75, dilution 1:100, Abcam). After washing in PBS 3 times, sections were incubated with species-specific fluorescent secondary antibodies for 2 hr at room temperature. Finally, cells were counterstained for filamentous actin (F-actin, dilution 1:200) using AlexaFluor594 phalloidin (dilution 1:300, Thermofisher Scientific), and mounted with Vecta shield (Vector) fluorescent mounting medium containing DAPI. Imaging was performed with a Leica AOBS SP8 confocal microscope (Leica Microsystems Exton, PA, USA).

Paraformaldehyde fixed and paraffin embedded tissues were cut into 5 μm sections, subjected to sodium citrate antigen retrieval, and stained using the M.O.M. Peroxidase kit (Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA) and 3,3′-Diaminobenzidine (DAB). The following antibodies were used: DEK (1:60, BD Biosciences), BrdU (1:100, Molecular Probes, Invitrogen, Grand Island, NY), Wnt10b [H70] (1:50, Santa Cruz), MMP-2 and MMP-9 (1:100 and 1:200, respectively, Santa Cruz), cytokeratin-5 (1:200, Abcam), or activated β-catenin [8E7] (1:100, Millipore). Samples were counterstained with 0.1% Nuclear Fast Red (Poly Scientific, Bay Shore, NY) and preserved with Permount (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA). Tissue microarrays were purchased from Imgenex (CBA2 and CBB2; Imgenex, San Diego, CA) for correlations of Ron, DEK, and β-catenin expression in human tissues and scored as previously described.6 (link) For R7 xenograft tumors, staining intensity was quantified by the Threshold tool on Image J. The threshold for each section was set and normalized to each section’s respective total area of tissue as seen at 200x total magnification. Scores were calculated by multiplying the intensity score by the percentage of positive staining cells. The total number of cells counted per section ranged from 122 to 357. For activated β-catenin staining, cells were considered positive if the nucleus showed DAB staining.

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.
