Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue staining for S1PR1 was performed using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections mounted on glass slides. S1PR1 (Abcam, Cambridge, U.K.) and IgG1 isotypic control (R&D Systems, Abbingdon, U.K.) Abs were used at 4 μg/ml, whereas CD20 and CD23 were supplied ready to use (Dako, Cambridge, U.K.). As previously described (33 (link)), dewaxing of the sections and Ag retrieval were performed with EnVision FLEX target retrieval solution with the Dako PT-link module. Slides were stained with an autostainer using the EnVision FLEX convenience kit (Dako) and counterstained in Meyers’ hematoxylin (Sigma-Aldrich). Isotypic control staining is shown in Supplemental Fig. 2A.

Tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and embedded in paraffin. In citrate buffer (pH 6.0), slides were heated in an autoclave for 3 min for antigen retrieval. Slides were incubated with appropriate primary antibody (ERO1α from Santa Cruz; or S1PR1 from Abcam; or p-STAT3, VEGF-A, or CD34 from CST) overnight at 4 °C, followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin. The ERO1α expression status was graded by two independent observers as described by immunohistochemistry score: scoring was conducted based on the percentage of positive-staining cells: 0–5% scored 0, 6–35% scored 1, 36–70% scored 2, and more than 70% scored 3; staining intensity: no staining scored 0, weakly staining scored 1, moderately staining scored 2, and strongly staining scored 3. The final score was calculated using the percentage score × staining intensity score as follows: “0” for a score of 0–1, “1” for a score of 2–3, “2” for a score of 4–6, and “3” for a score of >6. In subsequent analyses, scores “0” and “1” were defined as the low group and scores “2” and “3” were defined as the high group scores.

Samples containing equivalent amounts of protein were separated using sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) (7.5%-10%) and then were transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes. The membranes were blocked for 2 h in a blocking buffer [Tris-buffered saline with 0.05% Tween 20 (TBST) containing 5% skim milk] and then incubated overnight at 4 °C with primary antibodies (claudin-5, 1:1000, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA; occludin, 1:1000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; S1PR1, 1:1000, Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA; p-extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK) 1/2, 1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA; ERK 1/2, 1:500, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, USA). After incubation with corresponding secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 h, the protein bands were estimated by Immobilon Western Chemiluminescent horseradish peroxidase substrate. All protein bands were visualized by enhanced chemiluminutesescence (ECL) kit (EMD Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA) and were recorded by Tanon 5500 Chemiluminescence Imaging system (Tanon Science and Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai, China). ImageJ software (US National Institutes of Health) was used to analyze the blots.

Four micrometers specimen sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated; then antigen retrieval was performed. After that, endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked. After incubation of primary and secondary antibody, the slides were incubated with diaminobenzidine (DAB) and finally counterstained with hematoxylin. Primary antibodies are listed as follows: Ki-67 (1:500, Proteintech, USA), S1PR1 (1:200, Abcam, USA), p-STAT3 (1100, Abcam, USA), TUNEL staining (Roche, USA). The immunostaining intensity was classed into four categories: negative (value = 0), weak (value = 1), moderate (value = 2) and strong (value = 3). The percentage of positive cell was classed into four categories: 0–25% (value = 0), 26–50% (value = 1), 51–75% (value = 2) and 76–100% (value = 3).

Immunoblotting was performed as a previous report (Zhang et al., 2021 (link)). Cells were lysed by using RIPA Buffer (CWBio, China) containing protease inhibitors to extract total protein. Total protein (20 μg) was added to 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel. The protein was transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA) after electrophoresis and blocked for 1 hr with a blocking buffer (Beyotime, China). Then PVDF membranes were incubated with the primary antibodies including ALP (Abcam, UK, 1:3000), RUNX2 (CST, USA, 1:2,000), S1PR1 (Abcam, UK, 1:2,000), and GAPDH (CST, USA, 1:5,000) overnight at 4°C. The membranes were further incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody for 1 hr and reacted with ECL (Millipore, USA). Finally, the photographs were taken by Tanon-5200 system (Tanon, China). The densitometry of protein bands was quantified by ImageJ 1.51K.

Twenty-five milligrams of detrusor tissue was ground on ice and added to Ripa lysate buffer containing phenylmethane sulfonylfluoride and a phosphatase inhibitor. The protein concentration was measured using a bicinchoninic acid protein detection kit (Beyotime Biotechnology, China). The protein samples were separated by electrophoresis in 10% twelve alkyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel (SDS-PAGE) and transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride film. The membrane was sealed in Tris-Buffered Saline Tween-20 with 5% skim milk for 1 h and incubated with the primary antibody at 4°C overnight. The solution was replaced the next day with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit secondary antibody (1:5000) (Boster Biological Technology, China) and incubated at room temperature for 1 h. After washing, the band was visualized with a super-sensitive electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) chemiluminescence solution (Haigene Detection Co. Ltd, China) and analyzed with a Chemidoc MP chemiluminescence imaging system (Bio-Rad, USA). Actin was used as the internal reference and the following proteins were examined: Actin (Abcam, UK), SphK1 (Abcam), SphK2 (Thermo, USA), S1PR1 (Abcam), S1PR2 (Thermo), S1PR3 (Abcam), RhoA (Abcam), ROCK1 (Cst, USA), ROCK2 (Cst), MYPT1 (Cst), p-MYPT1 (Cst), MLC20 (Cst), and p-MLC20 (Cst).

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.
