Blank ELISA plates were coated with VEGFR2-his (Sino Biuological Inc., Beijing, China, #HPLC-10012-H08H) and blocked with 1% BSA in PBS. Different concentrations of BD0801 (Jiangsu Simcere Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Nanjing, China) or bevacizumab (Genentech/Roche, San Francisco, CA, USA) were incubated with human VEGF165 (PrimeGene, Shanghai, China, #105–05) at 37 °C for 1 h before adding into the plates coated with VEGFR2-his for incubation. Unbounded VEGF165 was washed off, and the primary antibody anti-VEGF rabbit mAb (Sino Biological, #11066-R105) was added for incubation. After washing the plates, the secondary antibody Peroxidase AffiniPure Donkey Anti-Rabbit IgG Jackson (Jackson ImmunoResearch, West Grove, PA, USA, #711–035-152) was added. After incubation, the redundant HRP complex was washed off. Finally, peroxidase (HRP) substrate TMB (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA, #34029) was added, and the OD value was measured by SpectraMax I3X (Molecular Devices, LLC, Sunnyvale, CA, USA). The detection wavelength was 450 nm, and the reference wavelength was 630 nm. The IC50 was calculated based on the OD value at different concentrations by GraphPad Prism 8.0 (GraphPad Software Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). Each concentration was measured in duplicates in each experiment, and the experiment was repeated three times.

2 × 104 HUVECs were seeded into the 96-well plate coated with matrigel (Corning, Bedford, USA), and added with the supernatants obtained from SHH002-hu1 treated MDA-MB-231/MDA-MB-468 cells. After 8-h incubation, endothelial tube formation was photographed with an inverted OLYMPUS microscope, 10 ng/mL VEGF165 (Sino Biological, Beijing, China) treated HUVECs were as control. The endothelial tubes were counted with Image-Pro-Plus program and the tube formation rate quantified on the basis of the control.

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were isolated from human umbilical cord biopsies, which were obtained from the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics of Xijing Hospital, Fourth Military Medical University, by collagenase treatment. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. Cells at passages 2-6 were used and cultured in EC medium (ECM) (ScienCell) supplemented with 5% FBS, EC growth supplements (ECGS), 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/ mL streptomycin in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO 2 at 37 °C. For cytokine stimuli, HUVECs were starved in ECM with 0.5% FBS and without ECGS for 24 hours (24 h) and then treated with VEGF-165 (Sino Biological) at 25, 50 or 100 ng/mL for 6 h. Cells were treated with 20 μM cyclohexane (CHX) or 50 μM MG132 if necessary. MRC5 and bEnd.3 cells (ATCC) were cultured in Dulbecco's modified eagle medium (DMEM) (Gibco) containing 10% FBS.
HUVECs were infected with SNAI1 overexpression adenovirus (Ad-SNAI1) and GFP-labeled ctrl adenovirus (Ad-ctrl) (Vigene) at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 50 according to the operation procedures. HUVECs or bEnd.3 cells were transfected with NC or siSNAI1 at a concentration of 50 nM using Lipofectamine 2000 reagent (Invitrogen), according to the manufacturer's instructions. siRNA for human SNAI1 (RiboBio) was selected from 2 sets.

Evaluating Cell Invasion Potential

Cell invasion ability was observed by spheroid collagen type I invasion assay and tested by Transwell invasion assay based on published protocol [29, (link)30] (link). For spheroid collagen type I invasion assay, HUVECs at a total number of 5.0 × 10 4 in 100 μL EGM-2 medium (Lonza) were seeded on 96-well ultra-low attachment surface plates (Corning) for 2 days to generate cell spheres. Collagen type I (C8062, Solarbio) solution with a final concentration of 1 mg/mL was prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions. The spheres were then embedded in the collagen gel, and 100 μL complete ECM with or without additional VEGF at 50 ng/ mL was added. Invasion of spheres was observed the next day under a microscope (CKX41, Olympus) with a CCD camera (DP70, Olympus). For Transwell invasion assay, the upper chamber of Transwell chamber (Corning) was precoated with 100 μL Matrigel Basement Membrane Matrix (matrigel) (1:20, BD Biosciences) overnight at 37 °C and then cultivated with HUVECs at a total number of 1.0 × 10 5 in 200 μl ECM containing 0.5% FBS without ECGS. 500 μL complete ECM with 50 ng/ml VEGF-165 (Sino Biological) was added to the lower chamber. Cells were cultured for 12 h and were fixed by 4% PFA and stained with crystal violet. Number of cells invading to the lower chamber was observed under a microscope (CKX41; Olympus) with a CCD camera (DP70; Olympus).

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.
