To check the expression of Hoxa9, Ikzf2, and Myb in LSCs, c-Kithi (top 10–12%) bone marrow cells (LSCs) from Msi2 f/f Cre-ER- and Msi2 f/f Cre-ER+ mice were sorted and were left untreated or treated with 600 nM 4-OH Tamoxifen (Sigma-Aldrich) for 68 h in BMT medium. One hundred thousand cells were collected, washed once with PBS, and then lysed in 1× Laemmli sample buffer (BioRad). LSCs were also sorted from quaternary MLL-AF9 DsRed leukemia mice, then were transduced with lentiviral shRNAs against murine Msi2 (sh331 and sh332) or shRNA against Luciferase. Transduced cells were selected with 2 μg/mL puromycin. After 72 h of transduction, cells were collected, washed in PBS and lysed in 1× Laemmli sample buffer. For analysis in LSKs, one hundred thousand LSK cells from 3 week pIpC treated Msi2 f/f Cre- and Msi2 f/f Cre+ mice were sorted, washed with PBS and lysed in 1× Laemmli sample buffer. Cell lysate was run on 4–15% SDS-PAGE gels, transferred onto nitrocellulose membrane and then probed with antibodies against MSI2 (Abcam, ab76148, dilution 1:1000), HOXA9 (Abcam, ab140631; dilution 1:1000), IKZF2 (Santa Cruz, sc-9864, dilution 1:1000), MYB (Millipore, 05-175, dilution 1:1000), and ACTB (beta-actin-HRP, dilution 1:30,000) (Sigma-Aldrich, A3854).

Tissues and cells were lysed in cell lysis buffer supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail on ice for 30 minutes. Then, the samples were centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 15 minutes, and the supernatants containing the proteins were collected. The proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE and transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride membranes. Then, the membranes were blocked with 5% skim milk for 1 hour at room temperature and incubated with the primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. The next day, after the membranes were incubated with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody for 1 hour, the bands were captured and visualized with a chemiluminescence imaging system (Shanghai, China). The primary antibodies used were as follows: anti-MSI2 (ab76148, Abcam); anti-E-cadherin (ab1416, Abcam); anti-vimentin (ab8978, Abcam); and anti-N-cadherin (ab76011, Abcam).

Cells were cultured on 22 × 22 mm2 cover slips in six‐well plates, then subjected to irradiation and fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 30 min at specified time points. Subsequently, the cells were permeabilized using a 0.5% Triton X‐100 buffer, followed by blocking with 1% BSA (bovine serum albumin) for 1 h at room temperature. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies against γ‐H2AX (Ser139) (Abcam, ab81299), MSI2 (Abcam, ab76148), and RBM17 (Abcam, ab204333). After washing twice with PBS, the cells were treated with FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate)‐labeled anti‐mouse antibody (Abcam) or Texas Red‐labeled anti‐rabbit antibody (Abcam) at room temperature for 2 h. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (4,6‐diamino‐2‐phenyl indole) for 15 min in the dark. Confocal microscopy (Zesis 880) with the NIS‐Elements Viewer 4.20 capture system was used to capture images. Six slices of each specimen were observed, and five high‐power visual fields were randomly selected. Protein co‐localization analysis was conducted using ImageJ software, analyzing images of MSI2 and RBM17 in 100 nuclei from three independent experiments. The Pearson correlation coefficient and overlap coefficient were used as statistical measures to quantify co‐localization, with measurements performed using the ImageJ plugin Colocalization Finder.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
IHC staining with antibodies against CD44v6 (Abcam, ab78960), MSI2 (Abcam, ab76148) was performed to detect protein expression levels. The intensity of staining was scored on a scale as negative (0, no staining), weak (1, light yellow), moderate (2, brown), or strong (3, brown red). The extent of the staining was evaluated according to the percentage of positive areas of cells in relation to the whole area, was scored on a scale of 0–4, 0 (0), 1 (1–25%), 2 (26–50%), 3 (51–75%), and 4 (76–100%). Protein expression levels (range 0–12) were calculated by multiplying the staining intensity and positive staining score. Then, we divided the patients into two groups (grade<6, low expression; grade ≥ 6, high expression) and performed survival analysis. Assessment of IHC staining scores was independently performed by two pathologists (Dr. Yaqi Duan and Dr. Xi Wang, Department of Pathology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology), who were blinded to the clinical data. Examples of the staining intensity grades were shown in Additional file 1: Figure S1B-S1D.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The prostate cancer tissue microarray contained 61 prostate cancer tissue spots and 39 para cancer spots of 64 patients (OUTDO, Shanghai, China). immunohistochemistry (IHC) and immunofluorescence (IF) were performed as described previously.33 Briefly, IHC was performed on the paraffin embedded tissue microarray using anti–MSI2 (1:200). IHC images were captured by a Leica DM5500 B microscope. Protein expression levels were scored by multiplying the percentage of positive cells and immunostaining intensity. The percentage was scored as follows: nonpositive cells as 0 points, 1%‐25% as 1 point, 26%‐50% as 2 points, 51%‐75% as 3 points and 76%‐100% as 4 points. The staining intensity was scored as follows: no positive staining as 0 points, weak staining as 1 point, moderate staining as 2 points and strong staining as 3 points. The final scores were obtained according to above terms: 0‐3 was weak expression, 4‐8 was moderate expression, and 9‐12 was high expression.
Immunofluorescence was performed using anti–human MSI2 (2:100, ab76148, Abcam) and anti–human AR (1:200, NBP2‐44789, Novus). IF images of tissues were acquired using a Leica DMi8 fluorescence microscope. Correlation rates were calculated using ImageJ software.

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.
