1×105 MSCs were lysed in non-denaturing lysis buffer (20 mM Tris HCl pH8, 137 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol, 1% TritonX100, 2 mM EDTA) supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). Samples and Protein G sepharose beads (Sigma) were blocked 1h on ice with PBS 1% BSA. Samples were incubated with anti-MIF (1:100, Santa Cruz) overnight at 4°C. Protein G sepharose beads were added to the sample-antibody mix and incubated for 6 h at 4°C. After extensive washes, the pellet was resuspended in SDS loading buffer, boiled and supernatant recovered. These were then processed for western blot analysis and analyzed for the presence of MIF, CXCR2, CXCR4 and CD74.

Western Blot Analysis of EMT Markers

SW480 and HCT116 cells were seeded in 6-well plates until they grew with adherence, the various conditioned media was replaced as described previously and incubated for 24 hours, and cell extracts were prepared in ice-cold lysis buffer containing protease inhibitor. The cell proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and blotted onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVEF) membranes (Millipore). Membranes were further incubated sequentially with specific antibodies including anti-E-cadherin (1:1000, Pro780, Cell Signaling Technology), anti-N-cadherin (1:1000, EPR1791–4, Epitomics), anti-Vimentin (1:1000, EPR3776, Epitomics), anti-MIF (1:1000, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), anti-p-Cofilin (1:1000, 77G2, Cell Signaling Technology), and anti-F-actin (5 μg/ml, 4E3.adl, Abcam). After primary antibodies were incubated, the blots were subsequently incubated with appropriate secondary antibodies. Protein bands were visualized with ECL reagent (Thermo Scientific Inc.) and a Bio-Rad image acquisition system (Bio-Rad Laboratories). The protein bands was quantified using densitometric scanning software, and relative protein abundance was determined by normalization with tubulin or GAPDH.

Immunoblot Analysis of Ocular Proteins

Three to five individual eyecups, without the lens and cornea, from each group were homogenized, centrifuged, and 50 µg of the soluble protein were loaded on a 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS–PAGE) gel. The proteins were detected with the following primary antibodies: mouse anti-IL-1β (1:1,000, Millipore), rabbit anti-IL-6 (Proteintech, 1:1000), anti-TNF-α (1:1,000, Millipore) and anti-MIF (1:1000, Santa Cruz), mouse anti-rhodopsin (1D4, 1:4,000), rabbit anti-M-opsin (1:1,000, Millipore), goat anti-S-opsin (1:1,000, Santa Cruz), and rabbit anti-caspase 3 (1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology). After stripping, the same membranes were probed with rabbit anti-actin-HRP (Horseradish peroxidase conjugate; 1:1,000, Cell Signaling Technology) or rabbit anti-GAPDH (1:2,500, Abcam). Development of bands, image capture, and the densitometric analysis of the bands were the same as we previously reported [5 (link)].

Western Blot Analysis of CD74, MIF, and DDT

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Tissue and cell samples were homogenized in lysis buffer, separated by 10% or 12% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions and transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Bedford, MA, USA), blocked with 5% skimmed milk in PBS/0.5% v/v Tween 20 for 1 h, and washed with PBS/Tween [28 (link)]. Primary antibodies were rabbit polyclonal anti-CD74 (1:500, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-MIF (1:500, Santa Cruz, CA, USA) and anti-DDT (1:500, Abcam). Antibodies were diluted in 5% milk PBS/Tween. Blots were washed with PBS/Tween and subsequently incubated with appropriate horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody (1:2000, GE Healthcare/Amersham, Aylesbury, UK). After washing, blots were developed with the chemiluminescence method (ECL). Blots were then re-probed with monoclonal anti- mouse α-tubulin antibody (1:2000, Sigma) and levels of expression were corrected for minor differences in loading.

Protein lysates were harvested in 9M Urea, 0.075M Tris buffer (pH 7.6) and quantified using BCA assay. Samples were run on SDS-page gels using standard protocol. Antibodies used were: anti-MIF (1:2,500) (Santa Cruz, sc-20121), anti-p53 (1:500) (Santa Cruz; sc-1315), anti-PS15 p53 (1:1,000) (Cell Signaling; 9284S), ABCA1 (1:1000) (Genscript, A00121) and anti- β-Actin (1:50,000) (Santa Cruz; sc-47778). Tumor section staining for MIF were done as previously described [12 (link),17 (link)].

Quantitative Immunohistochemistry in Kidney Tissue

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Immunohistochemistry was carried out as previously described on paraffin-embedded 5 μm thick tissue sections [27 (link)]. Primary antibodies were rabbit polyclonal anti-CD74 (1:50, Santa Cruz, CA, USA), anti-DDT (1:100, Abcam) and anti-MIF (1:100, Santa Cruz). Sections were counterstained with Carazzi`s hematoxylin. Negative controls included incubation with a non-specific immunoglobulin of the same isotype as the primary antibody. Sections were subsequently incubated with the proximal tubule marker, fluorescein-conjugated tetragonolobus lotus lectin (1:33, Vector Lab, Peterborough, United Kingdom). Staining was evaluated by a quantitative scoring system, Image-Pro Plus software (Media Cybernetics, Bethesda, MD) in 10 randomly selected fields (x20) per kidney. Samples were examined in a blinded manner.

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.
