Pancreatic tissues were ground in liquid nitrogen and then sonicated (power 20%, 5 seconds on, 5 seconds off, total time 5 minutes) in lysis buffer (2% SDS, 10% glycerol, 10 mM Tris (pH 6.8) and 100 mM DTT). The tissue suspension was then centrifuged for 10 minutes (4°C, 12,000 rpm). The supernatant was removed and boiled for 10 minutes. Protein lysates were resolved on NuPAGE™ 4%‐12% Bis‐Tris Mini Protein Gel (#NP0336BOX; Invitrogen) and transferred to 0.45 μm nitrocellulose membranes (#HATF00010; Merck). Protein samples were normalized to GAPDH. Antibodies utilized are listed in Table 1. Imaging was taken using LI‐COR Odyssey CLx.

Protein was collected from EVs, cells or cell lysates through lysis with radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) buffer supplemented with 1:100 Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Set III and Phosphatase Inhibitor Cocktail 1 & 2 (Sigma-Aldrich). Protein was quantified using a Pierce BCA Protein Assay Kit (ThermoFisher). Ten μg of protein was separated using NuPAGE 4%–12% Bis-Tris Mini Protein Gels (ThermoFisher) and transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (Millipore). Membranes were blocked in 5% BSA, 1X TBS, and 0.1% Tween-20 at RT for 1 h. Membranes were then incubated overnight at 4°C with the appropriate primary antibody: 1:1000 diluted anti-Alix (sc-53540), anti-Hsp-70 (sc-24), anti-Flotillin-1 (sc-74566), anti-CD81 (sc-166029), anti-CD63 (sc-5275), and anti-GRP 94 (sc-393402) (all from Santa Cruz), and anti-TGFβ (#3711, Cell Signaling). After washing the membranes, they were subsequently incubated with peroxidase-conjugated 1:2000 Anti-Mouse (NXA931, GE Healthcare) or Anti-Rabbit (#7074, Cell Signaling). Detection was performed using Amersham ECL Western Blotting Detection Kit (GE Healthcare) and Chemidoc MP Imaging System (Bio-Rad).

For each sample, three leaf discs were harvested 48 hr after agro‐infiltration to detect protein expression levels by western blot. Samples were ground in 100 μl NuPAGE LDS sample buffer with NuPAGE Reducing Agent as per the supplier's instructions (Life Technologies) and centrifuged at 15,700 × g for 10 min, and the supernatant was collected. After heating at 70 °C for 10 min, total protein extracts were separated on NuPAGE 4%–12% Bis‐Tris Mini Protein Gels (Thermo Fisher) and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes (Millipore) for immunoblotting. HA‐tagged proteins were detected using a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)‐conjugated anti‐HA antibody (clone 3F10; Roche), while the Pikp‐1:Flag protein was detected using an anti‐FLAG antibody (clone M2; Sigma‐Aldrich) and a secondary HRP‐conjugated anti‐mouse antibody (Sigma‐Aldrich). The Immobilon Western kit (Millipore) was used for detection.

Pre-cast NuPAGE™ 4–12% Bis-Tris mini protein gels (ThermoFisher Scientific), 1.0 mm gel thickness and 10 wells, were used with Invitrogen™ mini gel tanks. Samples were prepared by diluting 15 μL of analyte in 10 μL NuPAGE™ 4X LDS loading buffer (ThermoFisher Scientific) before heating at 95 °C for 5 min on a heating block (HB120-S, Scilogex, Rocky Hill, CT, USA). Hydrogels samples were mixed with loading buffer up to a final volume of 100 μL to help dissolving the gel. After heating, 10 μL of each sample was loaded alongside 5 μL of prestained protein ladder, 10 to 250 kDa (PageRuler™ Plus, ThermoFisher Scientific). All gels were run for 1 h at a constant voltage (120 V) using NuPAGE™ MES SDS running buffer (ThermoFisher Scientific). Gels were stained overnight using Coomassie blue (InstantBlue™, Expedeon, Heidelberg, Germany) and imaged using a compact scanner (CanoScan LiDE 220, Tokyo, Japan).

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.
