Mouse tissues were fixed with 4% formalin and embedded in paraffin. Immunohistochemical studies were conducted using 5-µm sections of paraffin-embedded tissue mounted on precoated slides. The tissue was dewaxed with xylene and rehydrated through graded alcohol according to standard procedures. After antigen retrieval in citrate buffer for 10 min in the microwave at power level 7, the endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with 3% H2O2 in methanol for 1 h. Blocking was done using Rodent Block M (Nobel Biocare). Slides were incubated with various antibodies with the working conditions detailed below. Secondary conjugation was done with HRP polymer (Nobel Biocare) specific for rabbits or mice. Staining was developed with a DAB kit (Vector Laboratories), and counterstaining was done with hematoxylin. The antibodies used were PRKCI (1:250; Sigma HPA026574), human YAP1 (1:250; Cell Signaling, 4912), mouse YAP1 (1:250; Novus Biologics, NB110-58358), Ki-67 (Dako), TP53 (1:500; Calbiochem, Ab-6), PAX8 (1:500; Proteintech, 10336), PAX2 (1:500; Invitrogen, 716000), and TNFα (1:200; Abcam, T8300).

Western Blot Analysis of Key Cell Signaling Proteins

Lysates were obtained from 1 × 106 cultured cells with a mixture of ProteoJET Mammalian Cell Lysis Reagent (Fermentas, Inc.), phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride (Roche, Inc.) and PhosSTOP (Roche, Inc.). About 20 μg protein was extracted from each sample and separated by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). After the membrane was blocked in 5% nonfat milk, the protein of interest was probed with the appropriate antibody: human YAP1 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), c-MYC (1:1000; abcam), Survivin (1:1000; abcam), KI67 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), PCNA (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), ERK1/2 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), p-ERK1/2 (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), AKT (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), p-AKT (1:1000; Cell Signaling Technology), or GAPDH (1:5000; Abcam). Then, the membrane was incubated with goat anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG (1:5000 for both; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories) and treated with enhanced chemiluminescence reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The bands were visualized with 1-stepTM NBT/BCIP reagents (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA) and detected with Alpha Imager (Alpha Innotech, San Leandro, CA, USA).

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.
