Intestinal Tissue Harvesting and Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Intestinal tissue was harvested, flushed with PBS solution and fixed as “Swiss-roll” sections in PFA for 24 h at 4 °C. For tumour scoring, intestines were fixed in Methacarn (60% methanol, 30% chloroform and 10% glacial acetic acid). Tissue was automatedly processed through the Tissue-TeK VIP infiltration Processor (Sakura) for paraffin embedding and cut into 5 µm sections with the microtome (Leica). Standard IHC techniques were conducted during this study. Antibodies used were as follows: BrdU, 1:500 (Bioss, bs-0489H), β-catenin, 1:50 (BD Biosciences, 610154), cleaved Caspase 3, 1:800 (R&D), Lyz1 (DAKO, A009), Muc2 (Genetex, GTX100664), EGFRpY1068, 1:25 (Cell Signalling, 3777S), EGFRpY1068, 1:400 (Abcam, ab40815) and ERK1/2pT202/Y204, 1:100 (Cell Signalling, 4370S). At least 3 different mice of each genotype were used as biological replicates in every IHC experiment. Scoring of the staining was done blinded for evaluation and representative images were selected. Images were digitalised using the Nanozoomer Digital slide scanner (Hamamatsu) and analysed with the viewer software NDP.view2 (Hamamatsu). Scoring of tumour sections was automatedly performed using the QuPath software (qupath.github.io), whilst proliferation scoring of normal intestine was carried out manually.

Lung Tissue Histological Analysis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Lungs were collected at a treatment endpoint predefined as 27 weeks of age. For tissue preparation, lungs were fixed in 10% phosphate-buffered formaldehyde for 24–48 hrs, dehydrated by incubation in ethanol followed by xylene (70% ethanol, 3 hr; 95% ethanol, 2 hr; 100% ethanol, 2 hr; ethanol-xylene, 1hr; xylene, 3hr) then embedded in paraffin. Paraffin blocks were cut into 5 μm sections, mounted on microscope slides, and stored at room temperature until used. Prepared specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) or immunofluorescence using standard protocols. Antibodies used in IHC were to Ki-67 (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA), cleaved caspase 3 (#9664L, Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA), pS824-KAP1 (ab70369, Abcam, Cambridge, MA), pT202/Y204-ERK1/2 (#4996S Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA) and HSP90 (NB120-2928, Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO). For immunofluorescence, we used antibody to vimentin (ab92547, Abcam, Cambridge, MA) as primary reagent and secondary Alexafluor 568 tagged donkey anti-rabbit antibody (Life Technologies, Eugene, OR), and counterstained with a 2 μmol/L 4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) (#1652731, Life Technologies, Eugene, OR) solution to visualize DNA.

Western blots were incubated in Li-cor blocking solution (Li-cor Bioscience, Lincoln, NE, USA) 1 h at room temperature then stained with primary antibodies in 5 % BSA, PBS, 0.1 % Triton-X100 overnight at 4 °C. Antibodies and dilutions were: total AKT (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA #9272, 1:1000), p(S473)AKT (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA #4060, 1:1000), total ERK1/2 (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA #4695, 1:1000), p(T202/Y204) ERK1/2 (Cell Signaling, Beverly, MA, USA #4370, 1:1000), GAPDH (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA MAB374, 1:5000), pan-TRKB (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA MAB3971, 1:250), TRKB-T1 (Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, USA SC-119, 1:1000). Bound proteins were detected with goat anti-mouse or goat anti-rabbit secondary antibodies conjugated to Dylite-680 or Dylite-800 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) diluted 1:10,000 in Li-cor blocking buffer (Li-cor Bioscience, Lincoln, NE, USA) with 0.1 % Tween-20, 0.05 % sodium dodecyl sulfate at 25 °C for 1 h then imaged on an Odyssey infrared imager (Li-cor Bioscience, Lincoln, NE, USA). For quantification of western blot results, a Student’s t-test (n = 3) was performed on band intensities following staining with anti-p(S473)AKT divided by band intensities following staining with total AKT.

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.
