The NLRP1 activator muramyl dipeptide (MDP) (Selleck, USA) was then added at 100 μmol for 24 hours to the oxidative stress model according to the preliminary experiment and the published studies [21 (link)–24 (link)]. The cell viability determination was the same as that in Section 2.1.
Total protein from HTR-8/SVneo cells was prepared with RIPA lysing buffer. The sample proteins (20 μg) of the different groups were separated using 10% SDS-PAGE and transferred onto PVDF membranes. These membranes were incubated with a primary antibody, followed by incubation of the anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody.

The slides were incubated with the primary antibodies (1:100 dilution, rabbit monoclonal antibody (mAb) for ATG7, ab 52472, Abcam, UK; 1:500 dilution, rabbit mAb for LC3, 3868 CST, USA; 1:200 dilution, rabbit mAb for Beclin-1, 3395 CST, USA; and 1:75 dilution, ki-67, clone MIB-1, Dako, Santa Clara, CA, US) overnight at 4 °C and with Anti-rabbit Envision+/horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (Dako) or Anti-mouse Envision+/HRP (Dako) secondary antibody for 1 h. Staining of ATG-7, LC3, and Beclin-1 was categorised semi-quantitatively based on the percentage of positive tumour cells: 0 (5% positive cells), 1 (6–25% positive cells), 2 (26–50% positive cells), 3 (51–75% positive cells), and 4 (>75% positive cells). Cytoplasmic and membrane staining intensities were also determined semi-quantitatively as follows: 0 (negative), 1 (weakly positive), 2 (moderately positive), and 3 (strongly positive). Sections’ scores were defined as the extent of staining × intensity, while the Ki-67 score was calculated as the percentage of positively stained cells among the total number of malignant cells scored. The scoring was conducted using three high-power (×400) fields in the invasive edge of the tumour, which represents the spectrum of staining observed in the whole section.

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.
