Cells were lysed in lysis buffer (1% NP-40, 50 mM Tris, 0.1% SDS, 1 mM PMSF, 10 mM EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.5% sodium deoxycholate) as instructed (Beyotime, China). Supernatants of lysates were collected after centrifugation. A BCA protein detection kit (Beyotime, China) was used to determine the protein concentration. SDS/PAGE was used for the separation of the indicated amounts and then transferred on to PVDF membranes (Millipore, U.S.A.). Using nonfat milk, the membranes were blocked for 1 h. Next, primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4°C. Then, the membranes were washed using TBST for 15 min and incubated with secondary antibodies (1:5000) at 37°C for 1 h. After washing with TBST for 15 min, the detection was performed with Fusion FX (Vilber, France) using an enhanced chemiluminescence kit (Millipore, U.S.A.).

Cell suspensions were seeded on the central concavity of a special 35 mm glass bottom plate (Nest, China) at ~ 50% confluent density. The cells were cultured overnight with or without PLA. After three washes with ice-cold PBS, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 min and then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 min. Subsequently, cells were blocked with 5% bovine serum albumin for 1 h at room temperature and incubated with an appropriate concentration of primary antibodies against Oct4, ABCG2, ALDH1, SOX2, or CD49f (Abcam, London, UK, 1:100 dilution) overnight at 4 °C.

The immunohistochemistry analysis was performed as described below. After deparaffinisation and rehydration, the TMA sections were subjected to high pressure for 2 min to achieve antigenic retrieval. The slides were incubated overnight at 4°C with the following primary antibodies: Hes1 (1:500 dilution; Bioss), ALDH1 (1:500 dilution; Abcam), and Bmi-1 (1:500 dilution; Abcam). The sections were then incubated with DAB for 2 min. In every run, the primary antibodies were substituted with PBS for the negative controls.
For the evaluation of the IHC results, the proportion of stained tumour cells was evaluated using four grades: 0, no positive tumour cells; 1, <10% positive tumour cells; 2, 10–50% positive tumour cells; and 3, >50% positive tumour cells. Similarly, the scoring criteria for the staining intensity were the following: 0, no staining; 1, weak staining; 2, modest staining; and 3, strong staining. The final score was calculated by multiplying the tumour staining area by the intensity score (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 9). According to this method of assessment, staining scores ≤4 and ≥6 were regarded as tumours with low and high expression, respectively.

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.
